THE CANON LOGIC

Summer is over and life sucks. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have one last party at the Mercury Lounge to cap off an extremely awesome, yet sweltering season.

w/ The Dance Party

…and speaking of heat, did you check out Sean’s Sweltering New York Heat playlist featured over at MOG.com yet?  Give it a spin.

We played a rendition of George Harrison’s ‘My Sweet Lord’ (I think it was during last year’s Advent Calendar); the song is a classic, and it’s a fun tune to play and sing.  Today, I was blown away when I was listening to the Chiffons (of ‘One Fine Day’ fame), and I heard their gem, ‘He’s So Fine’ (below)…the songs are nearly identical.  Has anyone noticed this before?  Are they getting some Harrison cash?  

Tomorrow we join forces with The Press for one of Liberated Matter’s last Cross-Pollinations at Pianos.  If you missed our previous Cross-Pol with Jay Mankind, here’s how it works:  We play the first set, The Press plays the second set, then for the third we collide like protons at CERN to unleash a black hole of rock (and possibly undo the universe or something.)

Show starts at 7:30, downstairs. Don’t miss it!

Thanks to our good friends Michelle and Ryan of MRI, we were able to get some sick light painting shots at the last roof party. The concept is brilliant, it is really the future of, a new twist on, the old photo booths at parties, weddings, and bar-mitzvahs that everyone has seen before. I love what they are doing. They are available for hire at your next party, rave, or anything else you could think of. It’s like magic in front of your eyes.

Thom Yorke introduced ‘a new Radiohead song’ this weekend at The Big Chill.

Mr. Mark Alu introduced me to Broken Social Scene back in college. I wasn’t immediately blown away, but it holds well with their music, the more you listen, the more depth you feel and the greater respect and love you have for them. Check out this multi camera taping of some live songs where you can manually switch camera angles throughout the show. The only thing missing is an option that shifts them for you once you get bored of switching around.

Good news everyone! On August 3rd we’ll be embarking on a mini-tour of the east coast.  You can find us from Boston down to Virginia, sharing the stage with our friends East Hundred.  The tour will be anchored by our home-town show at the Mercury Lounge on August 6th.  You can still get tickets here if you haven’t already.  See you out there!

“Dead Man” by The Canon Logic from Adam Saewitz on Vimeo.

A year ago I was introduced to my neighbor’s boyfriend James. Kally, my neighbor, had mentioned that her boyfriend was also in a band and that they were called Anamanaguchi. I had heard of them before, knew that they were in the 8bit scene, and that a few of my friends really dug their stuff.

When I finally got around to checking out their music I was extremely impressed, to say the least. Not being familiar with the 8bit scene, but having grown up with a lethal dose of video games, the moment I heard their stuff I was brought back to a childhood of Final Fantasy, Street of Rage, Shinobi, and everything in between, almost instantly.

Man I could really get into this stuff. I hear their concerts are beyond intense and they even have a bad ass movie projector thing going on. They are currently doing a sweet promotion on their website where they will be releasing a new single every two weeks for FREE here.

Perhaps the most exciting news in the 8bit world is that Anamanaguchi did the entire soundtrack for the video game that is attached to the movie “Scott Pilgrim Vs The World.” You know, that movie where Michael Cera has to battle a bunch of X-boyfriends to gain access to the girl that he loves. Coming soon…, but for now check out the trailer to the video game, shit looks awesome. The type of game where you go around and just kick the crap out of people, true old school graphics and all.
