Kavinsky: superhero music...

I read about Kavinsky on the train to Boston and as soon as I got hold of his music I realized what my life has been missing: a really dramatic 80's superhero soundtrack. Kavinksky, a French electro artist, filled that void with his heavy electronic riffs that make me think of speedboats and pastel colored blazers with rolled up sleeves. yum. I am posting my favorite song thus far, Testarossa Autodrive, which embodies my favorite elements of his music and also is probably the best driving song since Bidibodibidiboo. Ladies and Gents...Kavinsky (Pictured above in his true form leaning on his Ferrari Testarossa).


Here is the man behind the music, in a colorful interview in the land down under.



Also, as part of this post, I thought I should include a track that may have been heard in Europe earlier this summer, a track by Simian Mobile Disco (Who just put on a spectacular live show with Dan Deacon and Girl Talk) entitled: "It's the Beat".

Simian Mobile Disco - It's the Beat

Simian Mobile Disco - Attack Decay Sustain Release
(Full album. Really good techno...for Abriendo...)

juan you know I love you. and you know that its impossible for everyone to like everyone else's music. most of the time I like the stuff you put up, I'm just not too partial to this stuff. just my opinion.
