Shitty photos of our free Oscillations party last night at Tribeca Grand? Oh, we’ve got plenty. New York turned out in force to catch Memory Tapes’ first headlining show as a live band. We couldn’t tell what surprised modest Tapes-guy Dayve Hawk more: that 1,000 people RSVP’d to see him, or that the crowd packed onto the floor and danced itself into a sweaty mess during the set of crisp, propulsive and impressively polished drummer-backed tracks from Seek Magic. Big thanks as well to Minimal Wave’s Veronica Vasicka, the Tanlines dudes (thank you for not making good on your promise to play an all-ska set), XXXchange, GrandLife and the Pop Manifesto.

TEST PRESSING: Get Psyched For OSCILLATIONS At Tribeca Grand, With Rare Tracks From Memory Tapes and a Special Film Score Mix By XXXchange

A couple last minute details about tonight’s OSCILLATIONS show:

1. Memory Tapes goes on around 11:30, with Veronica from Minimal Wave opening with a set like this, and Tanlines and XXXchange closing out the night. (You may remember the latter from his last-minute support slot appearances at Animal Collective’s two sold-out shows last summer. The former Spank Rock producer/one-time Kills collaborator has also delivered floor-filling remixes for Panda Bear, Yeasayer, El Guincho, Santigold, Gang Gang Dance and a bunch of others.)

2. We’re expecting a decent crowd, so please show up early, as we’re letting people in until we’re at capacity and, well, there’s free vodka at 10.

That’s it for now. Check out a slew of Memory Tapes songs after the jump, along with a special DJ mix from XXXchange…

Sorry to break it to you, blogosphere, but we just don’t believe in lists anymore. They’re just so arbitrary, and a couple mouse clicks away from being obsolete, you know?

That’s why we decided to give you a completely random rundown of our favorite ‘09 releases—because it’s not as predictable or pointless as an argument over “who’s No. 1 this year, Dirty Projectors or Animal Collective?” Be sure to watch out for a second set of s/t-endorsed records before the clock strikes 12 on Thursday night.
