Guess who’s not playing at Making Time again? Thats right its Crystal Castles! Thankfully they’re on tour with Health, so unless a bottle of Jack keeps them down they’ll definitely be there and if nothing else Switch is there to drop that dirty jackin fidget house. Oh yeah, I heard a rumor while at SXSW, apparently the real reason Ethan from Crystal Castles is so secretive about his name is that he was in a band that we would make fun of him for. Hmm, maybe glam rock? 80’s hair band? Goth death metal? Nu metal? I betcha it was nu metal, easier transition to nu rave.

As a little bonus, I got this in the mail. A little mix from JAPATTACK.

• JAPATTACK - Calico Disco

crystal castles - courtship dating
crystal castles - air war (cfcf remix)

They don’t really sing and they don’t really have deep songs but ohhh shit is this stuff good. They dropped there first single on Kitsune and now got a full length coming out on the ever so popular XL records. I really wish this show was gonna be all ages so I could really see some bored 16 year old girls look really bored while they sing along to this shit. Yo but seriously this shit is going to pop off tonight at Pure.

Homecoming

Feeling Better

Casi apparently met a young woman named Awesome on Saturday night at Making Time and is now heartbroken that her number was smudged after being soaked from the rain. Read his plight here and contact us via MySpace or email at 5151List {at} gmail {dot} com if you know Awesome. Making Time, not just a showcase for Blog House, Neu Rave and Electro Disco.
