Easily my new favorite song (and video for that matter), here’s another gem from Kisses‘ debut album Heart Of The Nightlife. It’s drenched in that disco-pop vibe that made Whitest Boy Alive my favorite act last year, fully equipped with Erlend Øye-esque vocal work from front man Jesse Kivel to complete the package. As Kivel himself so poignantly puts it: “Great pop music is about escape. Kisses is about entering into another world.” Give this album a listen through and you’ll agree with him completely.

Back when Newdust was just a wee lad, we did a post with a song off French Horn Rebellions’ Beaches and Friends EP. On November 15th, they’re releasing their debut full length, The Infinite Music of French Horn Rebellion, a genre-bender of dance, electro, rock, and funk. Here’s their first single “This Moment.” This album’s going to be great!

My favorite show of all time is without a doubt Paul Feig & Judd Apatow’s Freaks and Geeks (1999), a TV show about two unique groups of teenagers dealing with life in high school during the 80’s. Here’s a great scene from the last episode (ep18-”Discos and Dungeons”), featuring a disco dance competition, a good ol’ game of Dungeons and Dragons, and Heatwave’s 1978 single, “Groove Line.” The 2nd video shows Heatwave doin’ what they do best: Bringin’ the funk!
I literally just discovered Rubies while fumbling around Whitest Boy Alive’s myspace page and had to share them with you. The song below is called “Stand in a Line”, originally released on Explode from the Center in the UK back in March of last year. Turns out they are releasing this album in the US tomorrow, and are having an album release dance party in Sacremento, California at the Rickshaw Stop with Windsurf, Little Wings, and DJ Safety Scissors. I am extremely jealous of anyone who’s lucky enough to be there.
