Boozoo Bajou Ecard

July 29th, 2005

If 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 [...]

Super Extra Gravity

July 27th, 2005

In 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 [...]

I need… I need… Phones

July 26th, 2005

Phones 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 [...]

kaos = now and forever

July 22nd, 2005

Let’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, [...]

Love

July 14th, 2005

I’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. [...]

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 [...]
