Boozoo Bajou Ecard
July 29th, 2005If you were to lock M. Ward, Mirwais and Diplo into a studio for four years, they would come out with an album sounding and feeling something like Boozoo Bajou’s Dust My Broom. Dust My Broom (quite obviously a reference to the Elmore James album of the same title) is Boozoo Bajou’s sophmore album and [...]
Comments OffBBC: Downloading ‘myths’ challenged
July 29th, 2005From BBC News:
People who illegally share music files online are also big spenders on legal music downloads, research suggests. Digital music research firm The Leading Question found that they spent four and a half times more on paid-for music downloads than average fans.
“The research clearly shows that music fans who break piracy laws are [...]
Basement Jaxx vs. Kylie Minogue
July 28th, 2005Back in June, Kylie Minogue was supposed to play Glastonbury, but she had to cancel due to her battle with breast cancer. Basement Jaxx filled in for her and, of course, covered “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.”
Download: Basement Jaxx – “Can't Get You Out Of My Head” (mp3)
This is one of the more… [...]
Super Extra Gravity
July 27th, 2005In 1996, I listened to a lot of The Cardigan’s “Love Fool.” I had that song on repeat. It was hot.
In 1996, I also barely passed my high school Spanish class. So I don’t really know what this says. Something about The Cardigans and nuevo and disco. Take a listen. It’s kind of catchy in [...]
New Dandy Warhols… New Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

I need… I need… Phones
July 26th, 2005Phones aka Paul Epworth has remixed Bloc Party, New Order and The Kills. Well he can now add Goldfrapp to his quickly growing, high-profile resume. Epworth has taken this nu-Glam Rock dance number and made it sound more Black Cherry and less Supernature. Not that the guitar and T.Rex influences aren’t still there, but he’s [...]

July 22nd, 2005Quick: Lady Sov’s new video for “9 to 5″
5 Comments »kaos = now and forever
July 22nd, 2005Let’s put it on rewind for a second. Kaos’ Hello Stranger came out pre-bigstereo. So even though it’s one of my favorite albums of 2005, it hasn’t been in the front of my mind… as far as this site goes that is.
Kaos is one part of Ghost Cauldron and a former member of Terranova, but [...]

cruel cruel cruel
July 16th, 2005Arjanwrites posted yesterday about new Bananarama. I know nothing about that. But I do know that “Cruel Summer” was the best 80s videos ever. I searched high and low to bring you this:
Bananarama – “Cruel Summer” Quicktime
BUT I was wrong – I came across another gem. The best 80s video ever is actually this:
Bananarama – [...]
Love
July 14th, 2005I’m not such a Bright Eyes fan. But the video for “First Day Of My Life” has to be one of the sweetest videos ever. It made me all mushy. If you haven’t seen it yet… check it out. It’s so cute that the annoying hipsters at the end didn’t even annoy me… that much.
Quick [...]
Hey Hey Girl
July 14th, 2005 Not so long ago, I was writing about how much I loved the Blood Arm. And then I placed them on the back burner and kind of forgot about them. Other bands came into focus faster.
This evening, I was waltzing around town when The Blood Arm’s “Hey Girl” popped onto my iPod. This song [...]
