a few compilations

Monday, May 30th, 2005

Summer time… what’s better than a few compilations? Perfect for last minute parties and lemonade stands.
This is perhaps the most blogged about CD put out by a blog ever. That might be because it’s the first (?) CD put out by a blog ever. All these tracks are exclusive to music (for-robots), and, according to [...]

more ooh la la

Sunday, May 29th, 2005

I shouldn’t be posting this… but… oh well. What the hell. I love you guys.
Peter Tong recently played this on his Essential Mix Selection. (Stream Here)
Dl’d: Goldfrapp - Ooh La La (Tiefschwarz remix)
This is more of a tease than the 40 second preview. hm.. I don’t know how long I’ll leave this up… but probably [...]

Armand Van Helden

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

Ok I know I know he looks like fucking Ali G. or some shit. The truth of the matter is ignore the fucking face and listen to the fucking music. This is Armand Van Helden. He lives in New York City and has worked with the likes of Fat Boy Slim(I know Blah!). Most of [...]

vanessa and the o’s

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

I randomly came across this band a couple weeks ago.. and not by way of the most obvious path. Vanessa and The O’s is James Iha’s current band.. post-Smashing Pumpkins, post-Solo album, post-A Perfect Circle. It is his best project since the Pumpkins released Gish.
Info is sketchy at best about this band. Their bio has [...]

It was just yesterday that I was writing about Lauryn Hill and then…

First things first. Let’s talk about Lauryn Hill’s new hair style. Is that not the cutest hair cut you’ve ever seen? Smart move. Let’s hope it’s not a wig.
Lauryn is coming back. Last we heard she was a woman on the verge. The media painted her like Whitney minus the crack. Who knows how much [...]

blue orchid video

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

I’m sure everybody has seen this already. And I am the last to know. Typical! But:

New video for The White Stripes “Blue Orchid.”
The White Stripes have left Michel Gondry’s side, and “Blue Orchid” is directed by Floria Sigismondi (Marilyn Manson’s “Beautiful People,” Christina Aguilera’s “Fighter”).
It’s so creepy. And good. I really wasn’t too crazy about [...]

Get a taste here: 40 second Ooh La La clip
Supernature will be release August [...]

lady sov

Sunday, May 22nd, 2005

I honestly don’t know how much buzz is building around Lady Sovereign. The only reviews I read were so bad that I had to check her out. And of course I instantly loved her.
She’s kind of like a female Dizzee Rascal. Or Sporty Spice if Sporty Spice rapped. You know… those crazy kids out of [...]

Relationships are good

Saturday, May 21st, 2005

OK to follow up on David’s last post, more mainstream corporate shit music!
So as you might remember Billy Corgan helped New Order on there 2001 album ‘Get Ready’. I actually really enjoyed that album and i enjoyed the touch he gave the album. Well Billy Corgan was not invited to their new album, they [...]

tori vs kylie

Thursday, May 19th, 2005

Ok. Normally I can’t stand Tori Amos. She just rubs me the wrong way…
But. She covered Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” at a recent concert to show support for Kylie (if you live under a rock: Kylie Minogue has breast cancer).
Anyway. It’s actually a very nice cover. Not quite Flaming Lips. [...]

hey willpower!

Thursday, May 19th, 2005

I’m dangerously close to Rchrd’s territory. But oh well.. this is too good not to write about right away.
Hey Willpower is the side project of Imperial Teen’s Will Schwartz. They’re out of San Francisco and are starting to get a lot of good press.
You politely ask: “What do they sound like?” Well they’re a [...]
