Mark Ronson and the Business INTL<\/center> <\/p>\n

I have spent a certain amount of time in the last couple of weeks listening to Record Collection<\/i> and pondering the question of how to descibe the sound of Mark Ronson and the Business INTL<\/a>. A potpourri made of hip-hop and synth-rock electronica? The soundtrack to someone else’s glamorous life? The kind of thing that would be playing the background of a Wes Anderson movie? All of the above? I finally settled on: a delicate, complicated game of vocal pick-up sticks with hot dance beats, though The Business’ Twitter bio says they’re “Nature’s The Traveling Wilburys”, which might also be a wholly accurate description. <\/p>\n

Ronson has certainly managed to pull in an eclectic collection of musicians, representing multiple generations of multiple genres. I was at the Webster Hall show, where in addition to the Business – Rose Dougall, Alex Greenwald, Stuart Zender, MNDR, and MC Spank Rock \u00e2\u20ac\u201c hip-hop artists Q-Tip and Pill showed up to jam. At his UK shows, audiences were treated to Boy George (!) and Duran Duran (!!). <\/p>\n

What all of that talent in one place translates to is some great tunes amd a really, really fun show. I’ve already expressed my appreciation for the title track; I’m also especially fond of You Gave Me Nothing<\/i> and The Night Last Night<\/i>. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important to note here that I am normally not so much into synth-pop; back in the early ’80s, while my sister was wearing out her Rio<\/i> tape, I had my radio dial tuned to hockey games, Larry King Live and Loveline. But these grooves are kind of irresistible. <\/p>\n

Q-Tip<\/center> <\/p>\n

Also, for those of you who are squinting at your screen right now thinking Mark who?<\/i>, his previous (concurrent?) incarnations include being a DJ and, perhaps most notoriously, Amy Winehouse’s producer. Though he’s worked with a whole lot of other people as well, in fact he made a handy flow chart <\/a>for an interview he did with New York Magazine<\/i>. <\/p>\n

In conclusion: If you did<\/i> like synth-pop, or still do, and in particular of you prefer your synths poppy and untroubled by industrial undertones, there is a lot for you to love here, and you should totally check them out. <\/p>\n
