Twig Palace
Twin Sister and Twig Palace are right next to each other in my itunes, so perhaps it’s only natural that I should write about them back to back. I guess I’m on a kick of chilled-out tunes featuring female vocalists, maybe it’s the changing seasons. Twig Palace, besides having a lovely name features one of [...]
Twin Sister
It’s Sunday night, the rain is gone, and the summer is still here, just a quick note before I head off to bed. I was introduced to Twin Sister earlier this summer, but didn’t get around to / remember to write this post until I read this one. The songs are sweet and sincere, and [...]
Mountain Man Interview
I feel as if I am floating. I am waiting suspended in the internet for the three lovely ladies from Mountain Man to contact me. I am a little nervous, it feels a bit like a blind date with someone you already know. Mountain Man was formed earlier this year at Bennington College (alma mater!), [...]
Taken By Trees
This has definitely been the week of holdups at D.I.D. I’m still waiting on a couple of tracks for my Real Estate/Twigz feature from the weekend, but it will definitely be worth the wait. In the meantime, simmer on the new LP from Taken By Trees. The gorgeous, Dan Lissvik produced album weaves traditional Pakistani [...]
Starfucker
So, I’ve been really bad at life this week. I intended to have the Mountain Man interview up by Monday, but technical difficulties led us to have to do a phone interview, which I had to transcribe. Needless to say, it’s headed to a theater near you soon. Today I was watching tv, and I [...]
Fool’s Gold
Anyone who’s spent any amount of time with me within the last year has been subjected to my love of Afrobeat and Juju music. There is something about beautiful melodies played over deep rhythms that can keep me going forever. I first discovered Juju when checking out Awesome Tapes From Africa, and have since devoted [...]
Múm
Today is a relaxing day out of a relaxing weekend for me, and hopefully the same for you. On my lazy Sunday, I just wanted to share with you this lovely little ditty from Icelandic dreamboats, Múm. Ever since transferring planes at the Reykjavik airport four years ago, I have yearned to go to Iceland, [...]
Cocorosie Live @ The Black Cat
I awoke yesterday morning, and nonchalantly began reading Brightest Young Things, a local blog here in DC, and discovered that Cocorosie was going to be appearing at The Black Cat, and was miraculously, NOT sold out! One of my favorite groups at one of my favorite venues? Definitely not to be missed. Well naturally I [...]
The Raveonettes
The Raveonettes, for me came along at a time of lots of bands called The ______s, and it was hard for me to keep track of them all. Through another fortuitous playlist, I came across this track “Dead Sound”. It was one of those moments when it was playing in the background, and suddenly my [...]
Here We Go Magic
I just engineered a show for Here We Go Magic. Real nice people. They’ve spent the last month recording their new album in a house in upstate New York and were eager to throw some of their new material on us. They totally killed the show. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of pull [...]
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!
