A Thousand Butterflies, Your Lips To Mine

on repeat.

You will forever touch me but in a non-illegal manner

Along with all the million thousand posts on Facebook and Twitter, the King of Pop has passed away. The other Kings of Pop, Home Grown, are still alive and kicking. In honor of this wonderful dancer/performer/non-songwriter, I have posted a mini dj set created by yours truly...me.
DJ Tranimal - MJ Tribute Bitch

My friends support me more than my tighty whiteys...

Friends don't compare you to other people. Friends never think they are better than you nor do they ever think less of you. Friends don't judge you. Friends always let you crash on their couch. Friends hug. Friends fart in front of each other.

Thank Goodness for Chance

last week while i was laying in bed, i got a text from my roll dog to meet her at avalon for free beer hour. after a few minutes of contemplating whether to stay in and jack off or party with my friends, i rolled out of bed, threw on my hipster gear, and i was out the door. avalon was packed so we rolled over to detroit bar to get a few hard drinks. some band was playing but all my friends were hating on them and wanted to bail. i was like, "yo dog they sound pretty good. imma check em out ahite?". so i checked them out...Miike Snow...pretty good looking guys...nice assortment of gear...sounded tight like cellophane on cheese. i was familiar with the band name for their remixes but i thought they were a DJ group. obvi i was wrong. good old jams man. check them out...their self-titled album "Miike Snow" is fantastic.

aloha friends. i'm back from spring break in hawaii and back on the mac. not only did i get a nice tan, i also came home with some nice cuts and bruises. thank you mr. sano for the hospitality. dance 109 is in the works and i can't wait to get ripped in my tank top to it. here's a band from Japan called Capsule. along the lines of Shinichi Osawa, this hot jam, "Flash Back", makes me wanna fight people and that rarely happens.

"If it bleeds, we can kill it"

direct quote from our governator in probably the best all time sci-fi action man movie, Predator. anyways sorry for the ultra belated post...i've been up to no good. studying, skateboarding, surfing, sluthunting, slobbering, skinny jean wearing, and sluthunting. if you didn't notice, i just got the complete MSTRKRFT discog...shit is insane so i put more than of few of their songs on here including a new song off their upcoming album FIST OF GOD. shit should be hitting the market soon. k...enjoy...never give up...and hail to Tran Simmons.

J.Tran's Playlist 2

Microphone check number one, isn't this a lot of fun?

Mr. Jason Shwartzman can't do any wrong. i fucking hate him. i hate his movies. i hate his bands. i hate his mom. i even hate his new single, Microphone, for his upcoming album called Davey which comes out i believe next Tuesday, January 13th. total jk on the hating, Coconut Records is the shit.

Coconut Records - Microphone

oh those damn Frenchies!

every time i hear their name i think of the 80's action sci-fi movie The Running Man featuring our Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hailing from Nantes, France, this electro duo play some serious new wave pop which i can't stop bobbing my head to. If you're a runner like i am, the Outrunners is perfect on the treadmill.
The Outrunners - These Girls Are Dressed To Kill

they aren't fools, they are FOALS

i'm sure most of you have heard these guys since their absolutely ridiculously totally totally awesome album, Antidotes, came out earlier in 2008. I actually had a chance to see these kids from Oxford, UK. Not only did they tear up the dance floor, they also stunk up the front row. Just because you're on tour, it doesn't mean you can skip out on showering. 
Foals - Hummer

strange name but i like strange

coming from Nottingham, UK, these lovely(and quite young) lads play some lovely glam electro thrash. Late of the Pier is their name and they are quite brilliant along with their album, Fantasy Black Channel. One of my favorite tracks on the album, Focker, starts off strong and ends even stronger. Boys Noize did a little remix of this shit and it's quite "the shit".
Late of the Pier - Focker

fits like a pair of gloves, Winter Gloves

For the past two months, these rippers from Montreal, Canada sure know how to make my booty shake. BOOTY SWEAT BABY. "About A Girl" full length on Paper Bag Records available now.

Winter Gloves - Factories

new year. new start. first blog. first track.

 To start off the new year, I've decided to create a music blog where I can share my delectable tastes in music to whoever is interested and craving new jams. I know there are like a million others who have discovered the same bands a few months ago or even years before I did but at least I am still trying to keep it real. Music is my life whether if it is writing, recording, performing, or discovering...I like it all.  Just because I used to be in a pop-punk band, it doesn't mean I can't be a pretentious music snob. Remember, please support all the bands that I post by purchasing their songs via music store or iTunes or Snowcap on MySpace or wherever. Here's a little playlist I created under my electro alias "DJ Nonee(pronounced Noni) last month...ENJOY!!!
