a few compilations

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 [...]

(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 [...]

vanessa and the o’s

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 [...]

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 [...]

blue orchid video

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 [...]

lady sov

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 [...]

Relationships are good

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 [...]

hey willpower!

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 [...]

The Bravery: Everybody’s favorite band to hate. Personally, I don’t care about any of the rumors… who hasn’t played in some lame band? And I don’t care what Brandon Flowers of the Killers has to say about anything (Hey rock star – try this: Shut up and sing). I do care that The Bravery had [...]

fannypack is back

May 15th, 2005

See You Next Tuesday (C U Next Tuesday), the latest from Fannypack, dropped last Tuesday and is my guilty pleasure du jour. It’s hot. Yo. Their first cd, So Stylistic, was a favorite of mine a couple years ago. They were like Avenue D’s younger high school sisters. And that really floated my boat in [...]

video killed the radio star

May 10th, 2005

You can now buy and download music videos from iTunes. These videos aren’t offered for individual download but rather packaged with albums or singles. The interesting news though is these files are not DRM’d.. meaning they can be copied from computer to computer. This is the first time iTunes has sold files that have the [...]
