Deleted Scenes was a band but they called it quits just about a year ago and I miss them.
If you ever drank from the cups of sorrow and woe well into the night then these are the songs that’ll keep you sane. These are songs fit for raging and swinging your fists into the guilty seconds, minutes and hours. But these are also the songs that’ll becalm your white water pulse and allow you, to if not see reason, then to at least see your way through the night. I say check ’em out and get some Deleted Scenes into your life loving ears. You’ll be better off for it. Peace. Continue reading “deleted scenes | throwback thursday”
blue foundation // eyes on fire (zeds dead remix)
The Zeds Dead Remix of Blue Foundation‘s “Eyes On Fire” is a sexy serpentine affair making you want to dance like Shiva and inhabit the personal space of the current apple of your eye. Yeah, this is a reach back in distant time and space, but you know like I do that good music persists and subsists minus an expiration date. After the jump I got a couple other tracks to round out this mini-listening party. Oh and for the ultimate Zeds Dead experience check out the duos Guest Remix for MistaJam. Peace.

deleted scenes // young people’s church of the air (our sunday best)
There are bands out here in the world which serve as more therapy than mere entertainment. And although D.C.’s Deleted Scenes can serve as both it is the former that is perhaps most useful. When I listen to the music on their sophomore release Young People’s Church of the Air I immediately think of three bands, Radiohead, Vampire Weekend and OK Go. Hopefully this isn’t a rush to judgement, but I hear lyrical phrasing and musical styles reminiscent of the aforementioned trio. But musical comparisons aside I hear originality too. In the way Daniel Scheuerman gets inside a song (and your head) and paints the walls with darkly ghostly sound that manages to ring of hopefulness, and much fragility as well. The album opens with the spacey panoramic tome “A Litany for Mrs. T” and it envelops the listener in an almost gospel wave of euphoria. But there are so many great tracks, Bedbedbedbedbed, the tropical “Nassau” or my favorite, “English As A Second Language”. All these songs, make this Our Sunday Best pick. Peace.
