Saint Etienne have just announced their first North American concert dates in over five years today! Although they started their 2000 tour here in Vancouver we're not on the list of blessed cities this time BUT there are a couple of shows within driving distance! They will be performing in Seattle at the Showbox on Thursday November 1st - and at the Wonder Ballroom in Portland the night previous.
Tickets for both shows go on sale tomorrow morning at 10:00am for Seattle here: https://tickets.axs.com/eventShopperV2.html?wr=2f263dfc-222f-4f81-90cd-0be84d34dd12&skin=showboxmarket&preFill=1 and for Portland m'here: http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/160757?utm_medium=bks
The band have this to say about the shows: "we're itching to bring you our party friendly set - featuring lots of "Words and
Music..." interspersed with a liberal assortment of yer classics. And there'll
be support from some of our current fave bands and DJs, a different 'act' every
night (details on who and where soon) ...a veritable Pandemonium Shadow Show." I can't wait!
'Words And Music...'s first single 'Tonight' is about the anticipation of seeing your favorite band live - how appropriate! This is the 'Extended Version' from the 12" single and digital EP... Enjoy!

This is one of twelve excellent remixes from the 'Deluxe Edition' of 'Words And Music...' available on a double cd and a digital download - 'Erol Alkan's Extended Rework' of 'Last Days Of Disco'. It starts out sweet and mellow but around 2:30 in it transforms into a full on techno monster - and then it morphs some more... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Chemical Brothers - 'Theme For Velodrome' (Extended Version)
The Chemical Brothers have just released a new single today called 'Theme For Veldrome'! Yesterday we featured Boris Dlugosh's new single called 'Cycle', and if you didn't know already a velodrome is an arena for track cycling. 'Theme For Velodrome' is the official song for London's Olympic Velodrome and it was written by the duo specially for the event.
The song is available on itunes in the U.K. and Europe today, and it's released tomorrow (Tuesday) here in North America. Ed Simons said in a Q Magazine interview that the duo's goal was to reflect “the sense of speed, pace and drama,” of the sport as well as the “incredible beauty” of the new London 2012 Velodrome’s architecture".
This is the 'Extended Version' of 'Theme For Veldrome'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Spitzer - 'Sergen' (Extended Version)
Spitzer are a duo from Lyon, France (brothers actually) who've just released an amazing new EP called 'Sergen'! The three track EP includes the 'Extended Version' of the title track - as well as the original versions of 'Serpentine' and a wonderfully cinematic tune called 'Delenda' - and it's released on the InFine Music label. It's available on Beatport for $5.97 but it's a deal and a half on itunes - all three tracks for only $1.99!
The EP is also available on vinyl from Juno: http://www.juno.co.uk/products/sergen-ep/458482-01/ The original version of 'Sergen' will appear on their debut album called 'The Call' which will be released on September 3rd.
'Sergen' is quite an astounding tune - a bit like shoegazer techno. The duo are no strangers to indie rock - in fact they site the Washington D.C. post-hardcore band Fugazi as influences. The song features spacey electronics melding with bursts of guitar and feedback with proper (real) drums - this song/ EP won me over instantly on the first listen... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Rare Remix! Yello - 'Oh Yeah' (Mr. Bizz Remix)/ 'I Love You' (Extended Version)
Mr. Bizz have released a new remix of Yello's classic single 'Oh Yeah'! Switzerland's Yello first released 'Oh Yeah' as a single from their fourth album 'Stella' in 1985. However the song reached the masses the following year when it was used prominently in the classic John Hughes comedy 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'. It was re-released in 1987 with the addition of a few more lyrics and it was also featured in another popular film called 'The Secret Of My Success' - and it's been used in countless films and television commericals since.
Italian duo Mr. Bizz have just released a remix on Tiger Records and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/oh-yeah-2012-remix/919997
Mr. Bizz use the vocal bits (from the 1987 recording) over a driving hypnotic house groove... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Yello released quite a string of great electronic/ synthpop singles in the 80's - and 'I Love You' is one of my favourites. This is the original 'Extended Version' from the 12" single - released in 1983 from their third album 'You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess'. This version is about two minutes longer than the 'Club Mix' of the song that's currently available on the remastered cd and download... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ 420th Post Of 2011! Classic! Rita Marley - 'One Draw' (Extended Version) So apparently I've been rather busy blogging this year - this is my 420th post of the year! So let's celebrate Vancouver style - with some Jamaican style music!
Rita Marley began her singing career at age 18 as a member of the trio called the Soulettes - who were produced by Bob Marley. The two married in 1966 and she later became a member of the I Threes - his backup singers.
'One Draw' was a single from her debut solo album called 'Who Feels It Knows It' - which was released in 1982 - a year after Bob died of brain cancer. The song was banned from some radio stations for it's lyrical content - which no doubt helped it to go on and become one of the biggest selling reggae singles of all time!
This is the 'Extended Version' of Rita Marley's classic 'One Draw' - from the 12" single released on Shanachie Records - one of the world's largest independent labels ... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! The Style Council - 'Long Hot Summer' (Extended Version) So this is the last long weekend of summer - although it seems a bit soon since the summer sun didn't arrive until the start of August in Vancouver this year! Technically we still have a few more weeks to enjoy, but it seems like a good time to reflect back on how it's been. There are certain songs that are synonymous with the season - including The Style Council's 'Long Hot Summer'.
After disbanding The Jam in 1982 Paul Weller went on to form The Style Council in 1983 with keyboardist Mick Talbot - formerly of Dexy's Midnight Runners. 'Long Hot Summer' was their third (and most successful) single - which was later included on their debut mini album called 'Introducing The Style Council'. I love the bass sound - and how the keyboard bits sort of hover over the song - this the somewhat rare 'Extended Version' (clocking in at nearly seven minutes of chilled bliss!) of 'Long Hot Summer'... Enjoy!
