Beach House
So as a result of talking about Beach House being on tour with Grizzly Bear, I realized that I hadn’t given Beach House their dues. Came across this positively lovely song, “Used To Be” which is so beautifully sung, as well as another (In addition to previously posted “Gila”) fantastic track off of Devotion. I [...]
Phoenix Remixed
My heart is broken. After three long months of day counting, I was forced to give my Phoenix/Passion Pit tickets to a couple of lucky readers. I’ve been listening to them non-stop ever since Malcolm Perkins of Your Nature showed me the video for If I Ever Feel Better in the fall of my freshman year. I like to think [...]
Télépopmusik
I have beeen MIA and so flaky lately, but I just got an iPhone and have been partying a little too hard, so I kind of got sucked in to that. Anyhow! On this Sunday the weather is turning out to be much nicer than it initially seemed, and I want to share this lovely [...]
The Walkmen / Here We Go Magic, Live @ 9:30
In my pursuit to go to more concerts in DC, I found out that Ra Ra Riot is playing here next week (thank you City Paper), and in my quest to garner that ticket, I discovered on Monday that The Walkmen were going to be in town the very next night! I hadn’t been to [...]
Ras G
I fell hard for Flying Lotus last spring. There is something about his combination of deep rhythms and sounds that have murdered my understanding of recorded music. Luckily Flying Lotus has been getting so much attention in the last few years that he’s been able to create Brainfeeder, a label with some of the best [...]
Grizzly Bear
I am an idiot. I had never listened to Grizzly Bear until last week. I am an idiot, there I said it twice to seal the deal. There are no excuses for this one, I guess I just missed the boat. Stumbled into Veckatimest after watching the video for “Two Weeks”, which made me feel [...]
Toro Y Moi
Whoa. When did we get this deep into September? I’m not ready for leaves to fall. After a refreshing alumni week, I’ve been digging through my catalog in search of sounds from summer. Toro Y Moi fits right in with other lo-fi acts such as Real Estate and Washed Out, but I’m really digging the glow he [...]
Will Stratton
Vermont is taking over the world, or maybe that’s just my life this past week, or I suppose my relationship with it is stronger than I remembered. Our other pal Will Stratton has released a new EP, Vile Bodies. There is something about fall that demands that everything slow down, and for me Vile Bodies [...]
Jackson Emmer
This has been a week full of tunes coming from the north. Our pal Jackson Emmer, a fellow Vermonter (via CA), has just released a new album. “The songs and works constructed on “PEN – PAL” are all based on human correspondence.” writes Emmer himself. Filled with nostalgia and folk and banjos (!), these songs [...]
Real Estate/Twigz
I’ll never forget the first time that Alex Bleeker approached me about engineering a show for his band Real Estate. He told me it was their third gig, and they really just wanted to sound like they were underwater. Since then, Real Estate have found themselves on some big sites and considered pioneers of the [...]
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!
