The XX Announced their first LA show since 2010!

July 23rd at Henry Fonda Theater. Fan pre-sale will release tickets at some point today here. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow to the public for $30 plus fees through ticketmaster.

(literally right after I posted my last post my friend texted me about this. So excited)

EDIT: Looks like the XX will not release fan pre-sale tickets for the LA show. Good luck to everyone going for ticketmaster tomorrow.

Stream 5 New The xx Songs In Full 
I don’t think anyone even understands how much I love The xx. I love this band so much that I’ve paid 100 pounds to get my hands on unreleased bootleg material. So, here they are all 5 brand new The xx songs from their performance at Battersea in London on May 18th. Note, that the track “Strangers” might actually be 2 songs in one. The xx have not stated how the tracks are called, I made the names up as it’s easier to differentiate between them when playing them in Itunes. But every track name is inspired by their lyrics. Four of the new songs haven’t been released anywhere in full on the internet yet, so you better kiss my ass for this post! 

The xx on, world off…

The xx Live At Electrowerkz
After two years The xx played their first gig on May 14th at Electrowerkz in London. As expected they played brand new material and as we told you before, their sound apparently progressed in a more “clubbier” aka post-dubstep-ish way.
Sam from The Musicstache reports: 

The set was equally comprised of material from their first record and new material, all of which sounds great. I remember a while back they said in an interview that the album would have a “clubbier” feel and it definitely does. While the vocals and guitar and bass work has stayed to the same basic format and sound, the drums and programming made the new tunes. Jamie XX has become sort of massive recently and has definitely become a lot braver when it comes to making sounds. Lyrically, the new material seems to come from a darker place. If most club music is about fucking on the dance floor, the new batch of XX songs are about falling out of love on the dance floor. If Morrissey wrote a batch of club songs, they wouldn’t be too far off from these.

i am in love with this band. i think everyone kinda is.

Look what just came in the mail! My Jamie XX & Radiohead official remix vinyl! Limited to 500 copies. Plus, the law firm I’ve been interviewing at called today and offered me a position! Then, my favorite professor e-mailed me to ask what universities I applied to so he could write me a letter of recommendation. PLUS School started today and my classes seem pretty solid. 

Today’s been great. Yep. Just wish I had someone other than tumblr to share it with hahaha. dear journal.

36 Minuten und 12 Sekunden entfernt von allen belastenden Gedanken, nur der Drang etwas zu tun. Einerseits denke ich, dass ich es mir wirklich nicht hätte runterladen dürfen, weil ich einfach nichts anderes mehr hören kann, aber andererseits hätte ich ohne diesen Mix die letzten beiden Sonnenuntergänge und den eisigen Nachtwind wohl kaum erlebt.
Jetzt habe ich Kopfweh, Halsweh und blaue Flecken, weil ich mit dieser Musik in den Ohren einfach nicht zu Hause bleiben konnte, aber es hat sich gelohnt; ich habe mich seit Wochen endlich wieder lebendig gefühlt.
