Bros I Want To Chill With Vol. 2


The winners of this round are:

- Weird Tapes
- Hassan, Tito, Sonja and Thomas from Dutch teen powerpop group Babuluga (see wig-scrambling video below, prepare for your life to permanently improve around the :42 mark). No one knows anything about these guys, except for Tito is rumored to have dated the year 7 twins (Erica + Heather) from the first season of Degrassi Jr Hi. It's probably time for them to "get viral" like when that chimp went to the dentist.










Babaluga - My Paradise

I found them through asrestlessasweare, who I also want to chill w/ because they were the first to bloghard about Weird Tapes almost a year ago. What else do you need to know about a song called "Nightstalking" that elicits Information Society/Point Break paranoia?








Weird Tapes - Nightstalking

Also, Hall and Oates. There are no losers in my paradise.

Chromeo Gets Nice/Collabs With Daryl Hall


When he's not busy introducing the Flute of the Commodores or brushing his teeth with Didi 7, Daryl Hall (who, if you're under 24, may indirectly be responsible for your very existence) is keeping it really real with our favorite Canadian chromeys. Together they've conceived a magical new genre called yacht crunk on Live From Daryl's House, a series of webisodes that allows today's stars to recraft their hits under the watchful eyes of the original pop shogun. Plus he has a pool and P-Thugg brought his trunks, so.

No surprise that these guys would be tight, as Dave 1 listed Hall & Oates a key influence for Fancy Footwork in our interview last year.








Chromeo - Outta Sight (from Fancy Footwork)








Hall & Oates - Outta Touch (from The Ultimate Cougar Muxtape For Emergency Hooking Scenarios)
