“Paradisco”, new from our girl Charlotte Gainsbourg, is off her upcoming combo live/studio double LP Stage Whispers. Written and produced by oft-collaborator Beck dude, “Paradisco”s minimalist melodies and rhythmic figures would sound at home on a Broken Social Scene record from the mid-00’s. If that sounds like your cup of tea (we’re into it) than “Paradisco” won’t disappoint.

Australian Rockers The Honey Pies have just released their second album Carpe Carpe. “Girl” is a nice, upbeat track. For those of you looking for new rock to sink your teeth into, this song is sure to bring about a feeling of happiness. These guys remind of Mando Diao with more of a surf feel, but decide for yourself. Also, check out their video “Don’t Mention the War” off their first album Think of England. It’s hilariously fantastic.

Hit us up with a number between 1 and 1000 for a chance to win tickets to see psych instrumental group Cave play at The Satellite tomorrow night, November 29th. Silverlake’s premiere institution hosts the Chicago rockers who display methodical structures mixed in with killer solos, music with an inner peace much unlike da Bears’ QB conundrum at the moment. Cave’s 2011 LP, Neverendless, delivers with the same quality as 2009’s Psychic Psymmer. So get in for free, buy a pint of Newcastle and play a game of dollar eight ball. Just give us number between 1 and 1000. *Chris Gedos
Just drop us a line HERE to be entered to win a pair of tickets for the set (raffled day of performance). Get additional show details at The Satellite.

Some dope shit dropped (that Florence cover of “Take Care”) over Thanksgiving weekend while we were all back in Cleveland chilling in our parents’ basements going in on MTV Jams. Top of the list of “shit that dropped while we were away” is this new Black Star(!) track (that’s right Talib and that guy formerly known as Mos Def are back!) produced by Madlib(!) (We can’t get enough of that MadGibbs shit). Hearing a new Black Star track is sort of like finding the holy grail or capturing a narwhal or something around here. We could be more psyched. “FIX UP”.

Our Cleveland brother Jason Burns turns his latest on this new remix for London UK band Maribou State. JB works down a bit of 2011 R&B, neo-garage, and a smattering tropical-y marimbas into mix. Anything Jason Burns puts out has become pretty much a must listen around b3sci HQ. Get hip below.

Our man ANT from Oz puts a sweet spin on Madeon’s excellent track for “Icarus”. That Madeon shit is pretty mint on its own. It takes a truly top shelf mixman to go in on a Madeon track and survive it. ANT survives, thrives, and knocks that shit straight out. Result.

It would be an understatement to say that the genre of grown up twee folk is oversaturated these days. From nihiti to Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr, the niche is ablaze with artists of various levels of acclaim, which is what makes the song “People” by SF artist Tree all the more impressive. Something about the rambling lyrics and piercing wurlitzer makes me imagine some cat on a guitar outside City Lights with a tin can and a tattered copy of Naked Lunch on the pavement. This is a rare song of great feeling which doesn’t get caught up in a pretentiously grandiose statement. I dare you to only listen once.

Listen to this 1953 cut of the altoist Art Pepper lay down Charlie Parker’s “Yardbird Suite”, written back in ’46 at the height of postwar jubilation. Suburban tracts, the Marshall Plan and the G.I. Bill do indeed apply! This is a happy freewheelin’ take on a happy, freewheelin’ composition, capturing the spirit of 1940’s Tommy Dorsey-era New York. Pepper, however, was a native Angeleno who lived for much of his life in Echo Park. A colossal performance almost criminal it’s so good, by one of the Gods of West Coast Jazz. I think the name of the gentleman on the piano is Russ Freeman, BTW.
