Gus Gus

November 11th, 2005

The number of genres within electronic music is only limited by one’s vocabulary. Everyday there seems to be a new genre.. often the result of mashing up previous genres. Genres are limitless. Even the most casual electronic music listener can tell you that. It goes without saying.
Then GusGus enter the room and you realize [...]

GD Luxxe

November 9th, 2005

I need to apologize… I somehow forgot to write about the new GD Luxxe album. And it was totally on my ‘to do’ list. No excuses –
GD Luxxe aka Gerhard Potuznik has a new album out called Make which came out last month on Tigerbeat6. Make continues in the same fashion as Potuznik’s Between [...]

Ellen Allien + Modeselektor

November 8th, 2005

Now that the DFA has lost its initial fire, everyone is left trying to figure out where dance punk or disco funk is going, and whoever figures it out will make jealous more than a few music lovers. But in the meantime, techno and electro are already moving forward with some new combinations of [...]

Metric

November 7th, 2005

Ok its been super long since I’ve written, I have been super sick and almost dying. Might have gotten the bird flu. So I’ve been meaning to write about this album for quite sometime. The new Metric album titled “Live It Out” is fucking brilliant, beautiful, elegant, and rock ‘n’ roll. It reminds me a [...]

Angie Reed

November 6th, 2005

Way back in 2003, Angie Reed (ex-Stereo Total) released an album called The Best Of Barbara Brockhaus. It was a conceptual album about a disgruntal, sexually charged secretary. Barbara Brockhaus was easily my favorite album of 2003. Maybe because I was stuck in a horrible job and just wanted to blast the track “I Don’t [...]

Madonna

November 5th, 2005

Not to hate, but. Madonna’s Confessions On A Dance Floor is my biggest pop music disappointment of the year. I had such high hopes with all the Giorgio Moroder comparisons her marketing crew have been putting out there. Lame.
Kylie Minogue did it so much better with Fever.
I’m sad to report that Jacques Lu [...]

Baumer

November 4th, 2005

Honestly, when Baumer’s “Take What’s Mine” first entered my inbox I kind of wrote it off. But. Then I found myself listening to it… on repeat. It’s just so damn catchy. I know nothing about Baumer… except it seems that Mike Shipley (The Cars, Def Leppard, Devo) mixed their debut album. If that doesn’t spark [...]

World Leader Pretend

November 3rd, 2005

Official or not. Today was the perfect fall day. I was driving along, the sky was clear, the leaves were a perfect golden color and WLP’s “Lovey Dovey” was on the stereo. It was just one of those moments that was too perfect… like something a Hallmark card commercial could only hope to capture. I [...]

Soft

November 3rd, 2005

Much blogged about Soft have released their new ep. Soft sounds like the best pop music has ever had to offer.
Popmatters:
On paper, Reineck’s goals may seem a tad lofty, if not downright unreasonable, but one listen to Soft’s songs suggests that the front man’s confidence is not misplaced. Taking the psychedelic pop of Manchester’s finest, [...]

The Go! Team

November 2nd, 2005

I’ve been sitting the fence on The Go! Team. I know, I know. Everybody loves them, and they’re amazing. That has been drilled into my head for so many months now. Unfortantly, I just could not get into their album… as hard as I tried.
That has all changed. Tonight I saw The Go! Team at [...]
