Just wanted to redirect everyone to the new site. kinda felt restricted with the free wordpress format and needed to stretch out our arms. the content has been transferred over so the site has the same content and a new appearance. we are still working to get the layout right. check it out….basically the same ol tape deck but different
NEW SITE CAN BE FOUND HERE———->>>> WWW.WEEKLYTAPEDECK.COM
change your bookmarks and checkout the new spot.
Out next week on April 28th comes the debut LP Summer of Hate from Crocodiles, clocking in at a brisk 34 minutes. This art-punk droned out album releases on the heels of their breakthrough single “Neon Jesus,” from 2008 and much praise from friends No Age. The lead single off the LP, “I Wanna Kill” delivers on their early success and “Soften Skull,” has influences of their fellow tourmates in The Faint. Do I like it? Yes. Do I love it? No, but it’s a definite recommendation to check out some of their tunes and possibly buy their album. Crocodiles are playing April 22nd with The Faint and Ladytron at the Granada in Dallas, TX.
so a change is gonna come here at WTD. free wordpress blogs limit our creative minds for turning weekly tape deck into its own brand. bear with me/us, i actually will be devoting most of my time to the framework of the new page while nic and jordy will be adding posts as they see fit. i hope to have everything up and running by next week.
Yes, Kanye is the genius voice of a generation. Yes, Kanye likes to put fishsticks in his mouth. He’s a gay fish. Flying Lotus has remixed Kanye’s “Love Lockdown”. It is not gay, or a fish. I’d put the track up here, but the folks at RCRDLBL have kindly asked that I post this link instead… remix here.
Ahh, a refreshing return to their 90′s form. Vocally dominated by Kim Gordon, Sonic Youth single “Sacred Trickster” takes me back to the Daydream Nation(Top 5 album) times. This tune will be released on the forthcoming LP The Eternal on June 8th for their first time with Matador. Yeah, they’re even doing this whole Buy Now Get Early deal where you get posters, mp3s, vinyl, and other cool collectibles to make you feel like you are a true fan and better than everyone else.

Speaking of a “top 5 album”, we need to come up with our “all time” list here at WTD. You guys barely know anything about us! I’m thinking like a 25 list of albums that “make me happy” or something like that. What are your top albums? Leave us a comment and let us know!
We’ve already posted a track (Dirty Projectors – Stillness Is The Move) from the phenomenal forthcoming Dirty Projectors album Bitte Orca. That album comes out via Domino on June 9. We have thus far neglected, however, to mention Dirty Projectors member Angel Deradoorian’s new solo project, Deradoorian. Lovepump United will release her Mind Raft EP on May 5. The opening track Weed Jam may not be the best track from the EP, but I find myself going back to it again and again. Even though Deradoorian doesn’t sing any actual words on this track, her voice and the general vibe totally call to mind Grace Slick on White Rabbit. Perfectly titled song. Available for your listening pleasure below…
Saturday 4/18: Dan Deacon: I predict there will be some crazy setup for this show out in the sculpture garden. A huge glowing skull sculpture?!? Should be one that if you are around the area, definitely make your way there. Museum of Modern Art – Fort Worth, TX
Sunday 4/19: Teenage Cool Kids: When they aren’t battling copyright infringement from Chicago’s own Cool Kids, the teenage version play some rather great music. A worthy Sunday night show for those who will make the drive north of the metroplex. Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios – Denton, TX
Now for the second version of the Weekly Mixtape! I’m still working to get the tracks on a continuous stream, but WordPress won’t allow java for the time being. Guess you’ll just have to click ‘em one at a time. I’ll be including this great new track from Denton locals Fergus and Geronimo (a GvB reccommendation), some of the great new Fresh & Onlys tunes, a track that I “fell into” by Italians Do It Better artist Bottin, and even a throw back from Death (recently re-released by Drag City). Enjoy…and don’t forget to hit up Good Records tomorrow for the festival, have a happy Record Store Day!!!
Fergus and Geronimo – Tell It In My Ear
Bottin – No Static (Main Version)
TV On The Radio – Stork Owl (Gang Gang Dance Remix)
The Fresh & Onlys – Fog Machine
Condo Fucks – Whatcha Gonna Do About It
Just a friendly reminder that this Saturday is Record Store Day! I would be going broke buying some new tunes, but I will be m.i.a. Not only is Good Records having this great (and free) lineup at their store, there are tons of exclusive releases that will be going down. I could rundown the list, but I’d rather post it here.
Two of my favorite albums last year TV On The Radio‘s Dear Science and Gang Gang Dance‘s Saint Dymphna. Now, a remix that includes both of them? Yeah, I got excited too when I heard this news. Not to neglect other remixes on the Read Silence ep: “Shout me Out (Willie Isz remix by Jniero Jarel)” and “Red Dress (Glitch Mob remix)”. However, the GGD is the one on repeat.
