Notable Downloadables: Moby & Asobi
Tags: Asobi Seksu, Moby, Debbie Harry, Music, Pop Culture
Talk about unlikely duos! Moby w/Debbie Harry - "New York, New York"--- is going to be big in da clubs. The pulling power of Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry and the incredibly skilled and principled Moby will push this slightly cheesy, Top Gun-ish sounding track far. Many duets simply don't work, whether it be vocals or chemistry, but the clever thing that's gone on here is, of course, that Moby never sings on his pieces, he lifts samples or uses vocalists to get the sounds he wants.
The track will be released around October 23-24. Moby will include the single on his compilation album, "Go- The Very Best Of Moby," due in stores November 6.
"We both live in the city and I love all the inspiration it's given each of us," says Harry in a recent issue of NME.

Save the video to your PC if you're on dialup by going through keepvid.com (you'll need to pick up Riva's free flashplayer to watch it, and you can make a VideoCD out of it if you have the right software!) Reminder: if you want to make a VCD that can be played thru your DVD player and viewed on any ordinary TV set, all you need is a computer with a CD burner. You do NOT need a DVD burner to accomplish this!
Speaking of Debbie Harry, I can't help but notice how much charismatic Japanese singer Yuki Chikudate and her New York City-based band Asobi Seksu reminds me of Blondie, in a more funky, caricatured, candy-apple, tektronic kinda way... "Alarmingly infectious...just like anime!" As you can see by the accompanying pictures, the cover art color schemes of Blondie's and Asobi's most recent CD offerings are remarkably similar! Arjanwrites: "Asobi Seksu (colloquial Japanse for "playful sex") recently released their sophomore album "Citrus." Lead single from that record is another fruity pleasure called "Strawberries." It was remixed by producer Cassettes Won't Listen who turned it into an atmospheric electronica piece that fit Yuki's delicate vocals very well. "
