Yeah Yeah Yeahs
So I know I’m about a million years late (as every day in the blog world is like a month), even though I read a sweet article about Karen O earlier this summer, but I’ve finally listened to Yeah Yeah Yeahs It’s Blitz!. It’s a lot more synth-poppy than their prior albums, but personally I’m [...]
I have a lot of feelings about this, so perhaps it’s best if I just get it out and move on. I positively hate twitter. Every time I see a link that says “follow us/me on twitter” it makes me cringe. The idea that this is the wave of the future, this is all we [...]
The Millioners
This was another song recommendation from a friend. The Millioners are from Finland (what is it about Scandinavia and electronica that work so well?) and are dedicated to dancing. Everything other than this track was a little bit on the cheesy side for me, but with an album titled Most Sexiest Music (which I think [...]
Blast from the Past: Outkast
Obviously new music is not always the best music. I decided to take a trip back to 1996 recently, with my own personal reinvestigation of Outkast‘s ATLiens. Sometimes I forget how much I enjoy Andre3000′s flow, and this album is an excellent reminder. Hopefully this brings back pleasant memories for you, or fosters new ones. [...]
3/3
Everything I’ve been hearing from Washed Out‘s upcoming 12″ has been perfect. I’m really into his unfinished aesthetic. It looks like he’s been getting a lot of buzz from some big sites, so we’ll see if the internet can make him some $$$. Washed Out – Belong Washed Out – New Theory
Polka Dot Dot Dot
In case you were wondering, yes, this band is just as cute as their name. A little bird introduced me to this trio, hailing from Olympia, WA, and boy am I pleased. Where to begin? Polka Dot Dot Dot features blissful harmonies, and pure simple songwriting (two out of three of these songs count handclaps, [...]
Phoenix Remix
So I couldn’t find much information about Chico Love, but this Phoenix remix is rocking my world. Rarely am I tolerant of overly long remixes, or perhaps I just lack the attention span, but for me this one is different. It is so perfectly chilled out, that it actually feels as if every section is [...]
Mayer Hawthorne
Some wondrous person played me some of Mayer Hawthorne‘s music earlier this summer, but it wasn’t until recently that I could put a name to the sound. Meet the man of my dreams. In his 20s (for a little while anyway), and bringing back soul in a way so real it’s as if it was [...]
Weird Tapes
I feel as if I’ve been going on endlessly about Weird Tapes, but clearly I don’t mind enough to not write this. I am in love with this track “Party Trash”, and what’s not to love after all? Perhaps it’s because it’s the end of the weekend, and what better way is there to get [...]
Organ Morgan
Today was a wonderful day. It was one of those days when I randomly came across some songs, and instantly fell in love with them. The heavy, heady love of the day for me is Organ Morgan. Very very very Avalanches-esque in terms of eclectic samples and that overwhelming old-fashioned feel. But really, any song [...]
WHO WE ARE
Dipped in Dollars (D.I.D.) is the brainchild of Chief and Danger. While attending a crazy liberal arts college in Vermont, we realized our mutual love of righteous dance music, art, and the people behind them. D.I.D. exists to share this love with you and hopefully turn you on to something new. More about the brains behind the brawn, here.
This site exists to promote artists, if you hear something you like, think about throwing the artist(s) a few dollars, buy an album, go to a concert, show them you care. If any artists or official people want us to take any of our links down, just shoot us an email and we'll take care of it. Happy Listening!
