Dragonette Remixes Fritz Helder & The Phantoms

The eclectic mix of Toronto's music and fashion worlds have collided on Dragonette's remix of Fritz Helder & The Phantom's "Lagerfeld Lady". Dragonette, the London-by-way-of-Canada quartet, substituted the band's signature blend of pulsating synths with a lounge-inspired blend of piano, flutes and sax. It's as though Lily Allen, Prince, and the Rat Pack made a baby.

The band's debut record, Greatest Hits, drops July 7th via Nelstar Music.

Nice Vs. Naughty

Happy Holidays! I decided to do a double-feature post with week that highlights the nice and naughty parts of my musical tastes and our  generation and culture. Please post your comments on this topic.

THE NICE:

                         

Lily Allen has been a favorite of mine ever since i saw a picture of her flashing the crowd at one of her shows in a London newspaper known for being more than a little racy. (I still have a copy of the issue if anybody wants to check it out message me) Anyway, my point with this first post is that Lily has an amazing ability to tackle some pretty serious issues about and still make it seem sweet and fun. Although "The Fear" was released on itunes today,  The album 'Its not me, Its you' is not due out until Feb. 10th. Here is a little teaser: (get it fast before they make me take it down)

THE NAUGHTY:

                           

Ok so I'm not the biggest Bloody Beetroots fan,  but I do like the Venom masks and this video is pretty much a shameless depiction of (maybe even a celebration of) the the darker, more exciting but dangerous, creepy and nasty parts the international club/party scene. This video was produced as a trailer for the upcoming EP that is due out on Dec. 18th. The following, in my opinion, is one of the most appealing BB track I have heard. It is undoubtably epic:

The Bloody Beetroots - We are from Venice (La Serenissima)
