God Warriors Of The Week

The God Warriors for the week of August 3rd are Trey Told ‘Em.

(via their MySpace)

Trey Told ‘Em is a cool band. Trey Told ‘Em is a funky band. Trey Told ‘Em is the side-project of that one Gregg Gillis dude and Frank Mussara of Hearts of Darknesses. Like Girl Talk, it kinda blows my mind. Now, the dudes are a little cray-cray, but who’s asking? I saw the two of them perform on the same bill (not as Trey Told ‘Em, but whateva) when I was probably 15, and it was insanity. Their live show looked strikingly similar to the photo above, except a lot less clothing was involved.

They are God Warriors because they took a Tokyo Police Club song (a band that I think is just kinda OK) and made it into a feast for the ears. They also remixed a song by Professor Murder (another band that I think is just kinda OK). Point is, Trey Told ‘Em rulez because they made those two bands’ songs much better. Cheers!

Album Review | Love And Circuits: A Cardboard Records Compilation From Aa To Zs

Love And Circuits is a massive 2 disc, 57 track mind-explosion. Experimental-noise outfit Parts & Labor founded Brooklyn label Cardboard Records in 2005 as a way to tap into the underground music scene, ranging in genres from freak-folk to no-wave, experimental to electronica. The tracks are alphabetized by artist, which is an added bonus. Almost all of the tracks are exclusive to the compilation, meaning a shit-ton of amazing artists are really reppin’ this label. Ranging from Aa’s “Who’s The Boss” to Zs’ “In My Dream I Shot A Monk”, the compilation presents a cohesive blend of artists that people should really be paying attention to.

It features songs from (TT&SC faves) Ecstatic Sunshine, Maps And Atlases, Fuck Buttons, Japanther, Pterodactyl, Matt & Kim, Raccoo-oo-oon, Shooting Spires, The USA Is A Monster, and Trey Told ‘Em (the bad ass remix project of Girl Talk and friend Hearts Of Darknesses), just to name a solid few.

Even more insane, Trey Told ‘Em’s stand-out track “All Of The Other Songs Remixed” is exactly that–a 56 song remix. At first listen it’s hard to tell, but in due time the individual tracks really stand out.
You can download the track to get a bit of an idea as to how the rest of the compilation sounds like, and afterwards you should cop this disc, yo!
