“Wow, you can really press play”
Here, have an honest trailer for “We Are Your Friends”, a movie about “inherently wealthy 20-somethings” pressing play for a living. It’s hilarious and pretty accurate. Welcome to the world of Boet Step.

Inside Abbey Road with Google.
One of my dreams is to go to Abbey Road studios and ogle over all the working music history. The thought of having all that equipment at the fingertips to make the best of analogue and digital together makes many musicians and audiophiles drool all over their cheap soundcards.
Google has brought my dream tantalisingly closer by creating a virtual tour of the studios. The only next best thing is getting on a plane and going to the legendary temple of The Beatles, Hans Zimmer, Florence and the Machine, and many others. The tour is packed with tidbits of information for laymen and audiophiles alike. You can hear the difference in sound when the tour guide talks in different parts of the studio. Great attention to detail has made my dream a virtual reality. Go check it out and try not to get lost.
Tame Impala – Let It Happen
‘Let It Happen‘ has to be my highlight of the month. This song has it all. It seems like everything that Kevin Parker touches turns to psychedelic gold. The song is 8 mins long but I wish it kept going. New sounds just keep jumping on the funky train; the beautiful drum groove that sounds like it was mixed by the gods. My levels of cant-even-wait for-the-new-Tame-Impala-album have increased 100 fold. Enjoy your song of the day, lovers.
Expect an album from Tame Impala in 2015
Yes, you read right folks. Aussie outfit Tame Impala is releasing an album this year. It’s going to be rather interesting to hear it for the first time. It’s been 2 years since the release of Lonerism and lots can happen to a group’s influences, style and even potential collaboration. I’m pretty sure I’ll like whatever they come up with.
If it sounds anything like the recent release ‘Daffodils’ from Mark Ronson featuring Kevin Parker I’ll be happy. Bring back the funk! You’ll know what I mean after you listen to ‘Daffodils’. Video below.
Illuminati? What’s That?
Noisey just posted a video of musicians talking about the illuminati. Are you happy now, conspiracy theorists? Personally, I think it’s possible that the illuminati do exist and I do see the merit in using the generic commercial music scene to perpetuate their weird signs and obsession with power and money. It just seems a little too easy to blame a mysterious ‘secret’ (not) organisation for the various injustices and cavernous wealth gaps we ignore on the news.
Hey, Illuminati-boss-villan-rich-guys, would you pay me to sing about how rich I am? I promise I’ll make it as four-on-the-floor-tits-and-ass-look-at-me commercial as a Coke Cola ad with Kim Kardashian getting her bare ass slapped at 120 BPM. Shweet. Done Deal.
