FREELAND ‘DO YOU’ WITH MIXES BY JOKER / MOONBOOTICA / HIGH RANKIN / PANTYRAID OUT NOW
“The remit on this one was if Led Zeppelin were making electronic music what would it sound like? And this is what we came up with. Helped quite a bit by having Tommy Lee on drums, creating that big John Bonham style drum sound”.
Long a highlight of his sets ranging from Coachella to Fabric, iconoclastic DJ/producer Adam Freeland finally releases Do You the first salvo from his long-awaited artist album, Cope(TM), set to come out in June 2009 on Marine Parade (and available to pre-order now at Freeland.FM). As expected with the U.K. bred, Los Angeles based Freeland, Do You offers the unexpected, switching up his usual uptempo bangers for a sinister 100 BPM groover that eludes any club-genre pigeonholing. Indeed, Do You proves a mid-tempo can still set dancefloors aflame: like DJ Shadow deconstructed by Can, Do You explodes with an irresistibly massive, sinister Moog synth hook, which is quickly mangled with choppy glitch edits and thundering kicks and snares that split the difference between Bonham and Run-DMC. Co-produced by Marine Parade’s latest producer-DJ star Alex Metric (Autokratz, Locarnos, Black Daniel, Hard-Fi, Eddy Temple’s ‘Remixer of the Year 2007,’ Annie Nightingale’s BBC alternate) and mixed by Alex Greggs of South Rakkas Crew fame (Yo Majesty!, Beenie Man, and, er, N*Sync), Do You, serves as the perfect introduction to Copes mind-bending collaborations, which include tracks with Joey Santiago (Pixies), Brody Dalle and Tony Bevilacqua (Distillers/Spinnerette), Jerry Casale (DEVO), Brooklyn shoegazers SoundPool, and Tommy Lee (yeah, that one).
US TOUR DATES:
5/21 – Costa Mesa, CA – Detroit Bar
5/22 – Los Angeles, CA – The Echo
5/23 – Daly City, CA – Cow Palace

I need it because I like the way their music sounds and I’m short on cash.
Linton said | 26 May, 2009
Because I need music almost as much as I need oxygen or water.
Jo B said | 27 May, 2009
i need it because music is what inspires starving artists like me, so help me get inspired this summer, and hey, if you give me a (women’s) top too, then I will have something to wear while i groove to my new tunes and make my next masterpiece!! fingers crossed
John said | 27 May, 2009

Danielle said | 27 May, 2009
Because I need an injection of ‘cool’ in my wardrobe, and my music collection…there’s too many ‘tired mummy’ outfits and too much ‘toddler dominated entertainment for my liking…..
Mik said | 28 May, 2009
I need it because I’m trying to get over the sight of Beyonce at the BK Lounge.
Noelle St. said | 29 May, 2009
Like the hands on the album need that drop in the illustration, so do i need, want, and hope for the freeland prize pack.
As always new music is inspirational and aids in drive, what better to do so than Freelands COPE . A new t (especially of the awesome design shown via the link) is a great way to show support and advertise and Vinyl, that’s like gold! Help me Cope with Freelands support…..

fluffybits said | 3 June, 2009
i don’t need it, i am sure of it, to be honest i am not even sure what i am suppose to be winning. But just long as you @ LAEM realize that by not letting me with this comp will only full fill my ongoing lack of having any witty to say in comps like this. I am happy.

i have had a horrible week… this would make it so much better.
Meggie said | 6 June, 2009
If i don’t I may collapse into a black hole of the lack of this fabulous music and prize (mainly the collapsing part is caused by the lack of music)… I’ve seen this happen before and trust me, it is not a pretty site.
Mike said | 10 June, 2009
I get around ( and so will your stuff!!!)
Be prepared if you choose me…
Tanja Cilia said | 12 June, 2009
I need it because I am probabloy the only, or at least the first, Maltese person to write in, and it will make a nice contrast to the 78rpm gramaphone record collection I have…

HAVE YOUR SAY
While I am as impressed as anyone with an artist’s ability to render accurate and lifelike human figures, I’m more often compelled aesthetically by looser and more stylized images such as Camilla Engman’s. The wide-set eyes, bulbous bodies, and skewed proportions of the people and animals in Engman’s paintings lend them a certain expressiveness and melancholy. Read more
I almost had a heart attack the first time I entered Published Art. And I’m not even an architecture and design nut. This place is the shiz. As the name of the store suggests, Published Art is art published in book form. Their spectacular array of art, design and architecture books will bring a tear to the eye of any admirer of beauty. For Published Art, less is more. They make sure that they only keep the latest titles in stock so that every single one of their gorgeous hardcover books can be viewed from any part of the store.

Creating modern-vintage inspired by 1950s Australian housewives and rock’n'roll style pin-up glamour, Peta Pledger has been producing one-off, made-to-measure or small-run garments and accessories since 2003. Her love affair with the sewing machine began in 1988 when — like many lovely ladies — she couldn’t find any clothing that flattered her figure. Read more
Riffing on the idea that ‘eating was tending toward breathing’, Harvard professor David Edwards, in conjunction with design studio Le Laboratoire, has created Le Whif, the breathable chocolate. No chewing, no calories, and it comes in mint, rasberry, mango, and plain chocolate flavors. The product may just be a fancy scratch-and-sniff sticker, but it looks so sleek and design-y.

This entertaining documentary follows a group of seemingly clichéd American teenagers in their last year of high school. Through a comprehensive recording of their lives it reminds us that, when examining anything in detail, there is no such thing as a cliché. The naivety and hope of each student shines through, providing a memorable and accurate portrait of a middle-American high school. Read more
Austin-based Future Clouds and Radar, the eclectic art-pop ensemble headed by Robert Harrison, has recently released its sophomore recording, Peoria. Where their self-titled debut album showed Harrison as the central figure in a large musical cast, Future Clouds and Radar’s latest offering finds the core band focusing their kaleidoscopic vision into a single cinematic narrative about the illusory nature of mortality. Throughout, Harrison stays true to his genre-hopping eclecticism, leading the journey through a maze of fuzz-box vocals and ethereal keys.
