in dub.

i've been ranting on for a while about how good hollie is but in case you needed more examples of her awesomeness. here it is. hollie cook in dub is exactly as the title says it is. her songs have been remixed in dubby fashion by the one and only prince fatty who produced her album as well, so they're pretty super amazing. there are a couple additions to this record, covers of ‘For Me You Are Dub’ by the Andrews Sisters, ‘And The Beat Goes On’ by The Whispers. while she was in LA a month or so ago she was kind enough to give me a copy which i have been listening to nonstop.
you can pick it up in cd or lp form on prince fatty's site here: HOLLIE COOK IN DUB

POP ETC..

old friends and all around good dudes formerly known as the morning benders are now known as POP ETC. turns out that the word 'bender' is used in the uk as a derogatory term for gay people and since they are not the type of people to want to offend others they changed their name. it'll take a while but i'll get over it like everyone else. now minus a bass player, the the new songs are def. more electronic and autotune-y sounding then the record they released in 2010. at first listen you can't help but notice how different the sound is and to be honest i wasn't sure that i was too into it but after a while you start to realize that these tunes are just as catchy as the previous ones. same ingredients, different recipe. and now i'm hooked. you can get all these songs and more for free from their new mixtape on their site here: POP ETC.

if you happen to be in LA this sat. i advise you to go to the echo (not the echoplex) and catch some of these bands live: LAMPS, dead meat, Jon Wayne, & headliners fEEDTIME! these are all bands that people rarely get the chance to see live much less in the same venue. for more info click: THE ECHO
