SummersRadio™ New Music! Dan Deacon - 'Crash Jam'
Baltimore's Dan Deacon is an experimental artist that mixes electronica, indie rock, and contemporary classical music together to create his own unique sound. 'Crash Jam' looks set to be the second single (following 'True Thrush') off of his latest album 'America' - about his mixed feelings on being an American - which was released in late August on Domino Records.
Deacon is known for his live shows that usually find him performing on the floor with the audience who are invited to participate in the performance. He'll be coming to Vancouver on Friday October the 26th to play at the Biltmore Cabaret - tickets are available here: http://www.ticketweb.ca/
'Crash Jam' is a surreal tune with swirling keyboards, layered vocals and numerous energetic tempo changes which will undoubtedly work the crowd at his live shows into a pogoing frenzy... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Divine - 'Native Love' (Remix) Further to yesterday's post about the similarities between a number of new club songs and older ones, here's another one that came to mind - when I posted the other new Hertz track 'Red Ryder' a few weeks ago, I was instantly reminded of this classic from the one and only Divine!
Harris Glenn Milstead was an actor, singer and drag queen from Baltimore that was known by his stage name Divine. This name was first given to him by a fellow Baltimore resident - an aspiring young filmmaker who wanted to make 'the trashiest motion pictures in cinema history' named John Waters! Divine had roles in several short films that Waters made in the late 60's and then went on to star in many of Waters full length movies including Mondo Trasho, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, and the original Hairspray film.
Divine started his recording career in 1980 and subsequently recorded a number of singles with producer Bobby Orlando - the most successful of those early singles being this track - 1982's 'Native Love (Step By Step)'. It was his first single to chart on the Dutch Singles Chart and to this day it's his highest charting single on the U.S. Club Play Singles charts. This is one of the original 12 inch remixes from that same year... Enjoy!
Now compare Divine's track to this other recent single from Hertz called 'Red Ryder'. I'm not trying to single out Hertz, as I love their music and these are just two examples of many new tracks that pay homage to this era (as mentioned in the posts featuring new tracks from the new compilation from Poker Flat Recordings called 'Forward To The Past').
This is Divine... err, Hertz :) Enjoy!
