R.I.P. Beau Velasco
↑↑↑TheDeathSet↑↑↑ sez: “R.I.P. my dear brother, friend and band mate Beau Velasco. We are all so devastated that I will keep this short. We love you and you will be missed. You affected us all so much in the most positive ways. Our lives would not be as is, if not for you. We love you.
Beau Velasco, beloved brother, co-founding member, guitarist and vocalist of The Death Set, passed away Sunday, September 27, in Brooklyn, New York. Beau co-wrote the Worldwide album and previous two EP’s with Johnny Siera, with whom his partnership reaches back beyond The Death Set’s beginnings, to Black Panda from the Gold Coast, Australia. The Death Set moved from Sydney to the US in 2005, but Beau took a back seat from touring a while later. This original core lineup of the band had recently rejoined to write and record the next record and to resume touring together.”

Listening to Berkeley’s Glass Cake at the recommendation of @yancey - he’s right - lovely stuff. Great lo-fi pop songs.

BIGSTEREO sez: “Pictureplane and Rainbow Arabia have both put out two of the most solid releases this year —while definitely not unknowns, neither have quite received the level of hype that they totally deserve. Anyway. Rainbow Arabia recently reworked Pictureplane’s “5th Sun”. Dark rave laced with world beats: this is what 2012 will sound like as the oceans rise and the meteors rain down.”

Phoenix - Love Like A Sunset (Animal Collective Remix/Deakin’s Jam)
The Fader sez: “Head just exploded when reading title. So excited. Hipster Runoff will probably write a 3,000 word rant about how this song creates co-branded eternal bliss or something, but honestly, you should never be afraid to like a song, and we love this. The remix, as Deakin says on the Phoenix blog, is the result of mutual admiration and a subconscious association with marine life, and actually sounds like they might’ve recorded it together underwater.”
Okay, CRLS - let’s hear it!

Ghost Bikes is Erik Varho’s sweet San Fran garage pop infused with his silky soul voice. I highly recommend you listen to his track Holy Times here on his MySpace. High times. Where can I get these hot tracks, Erik?
