I'm at work, still trying to wake up, and bored out of my skull. So to cure my boredom, I thought I might share some music with you from some artists I've been listening to lately.

--Fakebeat--
Just found Fakebeat the other day, and he is very good. I had heard "Cybernetic Love" previously in a summer mix off the Valerie Collective blog, but never knew who it was by. Highly recommend giving a listen.

--A Place To Bury Strangers--
I'm not usually that big on loud, angry music, but these guys are so different from anything else I've heard I can't help but enjoy them. They've got a ridiculously heavy and loud sound, but it sounds good. Big "wall of sound" usage, to a degree that would probably even impress Phil Spector. They've got a second album due out soon, so if you like this then keep your eyes peeled.

--Super 64--
Yes, I like the Commodore 64 SID chip. Yes, I know all the tracks this guy has put up sound very similar. But it's still just so damn rad, I can't get enough. This is the kind of music you blast while cruising in a Ferrari while wearing chrome aviators and a bright neon Adidas track jacket. Don't forget the babe in the bikini riding shotgun with the red wayfarers and cherry lipgloss. Yes, I also know I love the 80's.

--ST--
ST, or Stellar, is another one of those electronic artists out of France (where else?), with some pretty sweet disco-style tracks. Of all the tunes on there I'd say Blue is my favorite, it's got a good rock edge to it.

--Kavinsky--
Come on. You're a zombie. Get your corpse of an ass back in the studio and make some more killer tracks. Thank you.

--Valerie Collective--
Okay, not a single artist. The Valerie Collective is a, well, collective of artists with similar tastes in music. It's actually six different bands (The Outrunners, Russ Chimes, College, Anoraak, Maethelvin, and Minitel Rose. Run by David Grellier (aka College), the collective is a sort of blog in which he posts tracks from all kinds of sources, lots of different mixes, and just all kinds of excellence. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who enjoys music.
