The Glitch Mob
No matter how hard I try, I just can’t get into Girl Talk. There is something to be said about combining and crossing genres in incredibly swift increments of time, but listening to Night Ripper makes me feel like I’m being tested for ADD. I believe that someone like Girl Talk needs to exist in order to [...]
Julian Casablancas
I don’t know how apparent my love for The Strokes has been over the last eight years, but my week has been bombarded with emails about new music from Julian Casablancas. Before he hops in the studio to finish the rest of the new Strokes album, Phrazes for the Young will be out on November 3. [...]
Bonus Phoenix Remixes
So by now it’s pretty obvious that over here at D.I.D., we love ourselves a good Phoenix remix, and are highly anticipating the rest of the Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix remix album. Here are two entirely different remixes of “Love Like A Sunset”, one by Passion Pit drummer “Shuttle” and the second by Animal Collective. Just [...]
Time Traveling: Lizzy Mercier Descloux
It’s been pretty bittersweet being in the green mountains for one last fall, but Lizzy Mercier Descloux will keep me going this season. I’m a sucker for afro pop, and her music is weaved with african funk/jazz/blues/punk/experimental influences. I really wish more artists had tried to tackle this genre. She slowly became a staple of [...]
Bibio
Once upon a time a friend sent me a Bibio track, “Lovers’ Carvings”, my mind was blown and my world opened up. After visiting Epsilon in the north, I discovered he was a fan as well. I am just kicking myself for waiting this long to listen to the rest of his stuff. His previously [...]
Land of Talk
Out of all the Feists and Marissa Nadlers currently carving their way through the indie rock scene, Elizabeth Powell has to be my favorite. I was totally mystified when I saw Land of Talk play two shows my freshman year, eventually spending an entire summer trying to figure out how I could get all the tracks from [...]
Memory Tapes, Seek Magic
Yesterday I became inundated with new music, so i’m going to do my best to bring y’all a little piece of the pie every day. Finally checked out the entirety of the new Memory Tapes album, Seek Magic. I have to admit, I’m not as impressed as I expected I would be, but then again [...]
Vampire Weekend
Sometimes I like to think back to a time when I didn’t like Vampire Weekend, mostly on principle since they were becoming so popular (plus, come on guys, it’s a silly band name), but I was not as happy then. I didn’t have the guiltless pop croonings with easy danceability, and enough of an African [...]
OH NO
This week has already been nuts. Not only was I told that I’d be engineering the Killa Priest show that’ll be rolling through VT next week, but someone beautiful was nice enough to drop OH NO‘s Ethiopium onto my hard drive. The son of Otis Jackson and brother of Madlib, OH NO builds insanely psychedelic [...]
Memory Tapes
The time for the new Memory Tapes album is here, hooray. I haven’t heard much yet, but what I’ve heard I like. “Green Knight” (which my brain confuses with “Green Light” and then “Green Lantern” in a heartbeat), is available for free download, on his blog. Hooray full quality! I will get back to you [...]
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!
