Bill Murray be chill y’all

A few weeks ago I tweeted about a chillwave band (I’m still uncomfortable with using this term, but since it’s the only term most people can relate to to describe the genre of music…) under the alias, Chill Murray. I heard about them on triple j when they were talking about their SXSW experience, but hipsterrunnoff has it covered pretty well.

One thing I’m pretty confused about is this: if they are so chill, how come their music is not available? I want to purchase/download it onto my mp3 player and share it with my friends and all, but alas, it’s not publicly available other than through a stream through the myspace or muxtape. It is not chill to load a page everytime I want to listen to cool stuff.

And it is pretty clever of them to ride off Bill Murray’s awesome branding, because he is the godfather of hipsters. ESPECIALLY with all the little flowers on his beard. Maybe we can expect guys to start wearing flowers in their beards.

The movie which revived Bill Murray’s movie career, made Scarlett Johanssen’s and gave shoegazer music a new brand and visual representation.

Bill ‘Groundhog day, Ghostbusting ass’ Murray!

Anyway, irregardless, because “I’m so chill”, I’m going to send them some love their way. Also because I have a man-crush on Bill Murray.

N.B. Talking  like altbroz and all is a serious craft. I can’t keep up.

Ewok Karaoke Video

I shared this on my twitter the other day, but I’m still not over it. There is something fundamentally right about EVERYTHING in the video; the lyrics, the ridiculously cheesy background images/ video, the complete disregard to how uninterpretable it is. Oh and there is a wookie on a guitar halfway through the video.

Celebrate the love!

Yeah, they actually say that. Tear-jerking stuff, eh?

Chemical Brothers > Daft Punk; Escape Velocity track

Not too fond of when work keeps you out of the loop of your essentials, but back on track and The Chemical Brothers have a new song out in the airwaves (JJJ have been playing it pretty regularly) which is a part of their forthcoming album Further. Accompanying each song once the album is released in June would be a mini-movie by the same guys who do most of their live gig visuals. They really are a mixbag; they never stick to one formula which is probably one thing I admire most about them. The great thing is everytime they do try something different, it’s still pretty fucking good.

Mathemagic… magic indeed!

Canadian-based Mathemagic are Evan and Dylan Euteneier. Their sounds encompass heartachingly moody dreampop/ chillwave (really wanted to avoid that word, but they’ve bundled themselves with Neon Indian and Washed Out) and that sudden realisation that you miss your childhood innocence. They sound extremely promising for a very young group (currently only have 3 tracks featured on their Last.fm). Either way, these two tracks are extraordinarily beautiful.
