I don’t know if You & the Atom Bomb purposely chose their name based on the essay with the same title by George Orwell. Perhaps it’s some political/1984/tongue in cheek/clever reference. Or perhaps it’s just a coincidence.
I don’t know because really there is like no info on this band.
This is what I do know:

Well that explains everything…

I haven’t yet made my way around the Blogosphere today. So I apologize ahead of time if you’ve read this a billion times already.

US readers take note. Tiefschwarz has the free “Discovery Download” on iTunes today. I know most of our readers have already “discovered” Tiefschwarz but hey…

Dr Robert Moog, a bigstereo hero, has passed away after a four month battle with brain cancer. Our condolences go to his family and friends.
Many of bigstereo’s favorite bands rely on the inventions of Dr Moog. He helped shape the sound of music for the past thirty years.
From BBC:
Synthesiser pioneer Dr Robert Moog [...]

I know it is a little too early to be writing about The Sunshine Underground again. I’ve been holding off a couple days… but I can’t wait anymore. I’m probably jumping the gun on this band because really it’s too hard to judge anything from just a handful of songs. Especially when each song sounds [...]

I’ve been trying to figure out for two weeks the artist and name of this track:
Mystery Song (mp3)
Even though the whole vocoder/Cher-bot voice thing is bad in a cliche VH1 Best of 1999 way, the song is still totally cute. I love the little polka beat.
I have one random guesses but…
Anyone know?
Problem solved. See [...]

I’ve read about this on every single blog from kop’·ē·kăt’ to Brooklyn Vegan to Productshop NYC to Audio Nerd to everyone else. Seriously.
So unless you’ve been physically removed from a computer for the past 48 hours (like myself) and/or live under a rock…

Goldie Lookin’ Chain has a new video out. The boys have done it again. It’s not as wild as “Your Mother Has A Penis” or “Guns Don’t Kill People Rappers Do” or even “Roller Disco”, but still… Funny shit. It’s like weird science gone all wrong. Reminds me of all those great 80’s videos. Directed [...]

Ok. I know I’m not supposed to like t.A.T.u.
But I do. I love that they’re fake lesbians. I love that one of them looks like Lindsay Lohan sans blonde hair. I love that they go all Aileen Wuornos in their new video. I love Charlize Theron. I love that their songs are so fucking [...]

Ok. It’s Monday. It’s VERY Monday. I am so short on words today…
But the album that refused to leak has finally leaked. You were starting to doubt that it would leak before the release date. Weren’t you?
Well somewhere between Felt Mountain and Black Cherry is Supernature. The album sounds like Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory [...]
