Listen: www.kidsandexplosions.com Loved list bit.ly 1. Fergus & Geronimo 7”: theneedledrop.com 2. Neon Indian Vid: theneedledrop.com Kids and Explosions’ debut album is a spastic and relentless collage of pop’s catchiest moments. Instead of allowing one sample to simply play over another, K&E dives in deep to each sample and tears it into little, tiny pieces; making everything work together rhythmically and melodically. I realize some moments aren’t all that subtle, and that this record gets pretty relentless with its edits; however, this interests me because it’s the true meaning of collage music. Everything is destroyed and rebuilt using the scrap. Pretty inspiring. What do you think of this record? Love it? Hate it? Why? 8/10 theneedledrop.com http bit.ly bit.ly FAV TRACKS: EVERYTHING, USE YOUR WORDS, SWEAR WORDS, GIRLS, THERE IS A BURNING BALL OF FIRE IN OUTER SPACE, SLOW SONG, THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Meh, i disagree with you, and that’s pretty rare. didn’t enjoy this at all. it’s not that it’s horrible, i was just expecting more of a dance along thing when it comes to mashups.

December 7th, 2010 on 9:42 pm
I think I set my expectations a bit too high when I went to go listen to some Kids and Explosions songs. Not bad, but I wasn’t very amazed. Couldn’t help think of that Fagattron guy and how he does it so much better with Disney movies. :D

Is The New Science a rework of Play Your Part (Pt. 1)?
December 7th, 2010 on 9:47 pm
Just downloaded… Something about Weezy and Radiohead just felt so right. The whole album is a lot of fun, but I could see letting a part go here and there to center the songs a bit more
December 7th, 2010 on 9:51 pm
This sounds a lot like pogo, but instead of Disney samples it is top 40 hits. The same type of sampling, short clips repeated over and over again. Not a bad album though.
