Wolfmother

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

Check out Wolfmother’s new video for “Woman” directed by Alex and Martin. What makes this video special? Each frame is extracted and a color photo copy was made. Then the images were re-aligned back in order… creating a weird paper, flip-book effect. Visually, it creates a cool effect. And the song is not that bad [...]

Uffie

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

I recently completed an interview with Uffie for Fake Magazine. Good news for you because it’s big, and I think you’ll love reading it. Unfortunately, you will have to wait until June to read the full interview when it’s printed in Fake.
The good news? Fake was kind enough to let me print a “teaser” question [...]

Think About Life

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

Ok, I hope the above photo is at a Halloween party because there’s some undead zombie bride about to eat the crowds’ brains out. Wtf?
Think About Life comes to us from Montreal and delivers a solid DIY Indie Disco record. The aesthetics bounce back and forth between honesty, naivety and restlessness. Really, they pick up [...]

iTunes: Wolfmother, Nelly Furtado, Arctic Monkeys

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

This is total De Ja vu to last week. But whatever!..
1) Wolfmother has the free download of the week on iTunes (US Store) with “Dimension.” This is the opening track on their self titled debut and not to be missed… if you haven’t checked it out already.
Wolfmother – “Dimension”
2) Nelly Furtado! Guys, I am [...]

Debbie Harry

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Debbie Harry – “Dirty & Deep” (mp3)
OH MY FUCKING GOD. NEW FUCKING DEBBIE HARRY.
AND it’s all about Lil’ Kim. Listen to Debbie rap like it’s “Rapture.” This is so good it’s bad… or is it so bad that it’s good. Whatever… it’s Debbie Harry rapping about Lil’ Kim. [...]

Jeans Team + My Robot Friend

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Nonstop nonstop nonstop: Jeans Team has a new song out on defDrive records that is so addictive you will be wanting to play it nonstop. “Nonstop Nonstop Nonstop” is pure indie-pop at its best, and it is backed with two remixes by My Robot Friend and Flash Atkins. My Robot Friend rips apart “Nonstop Nonstop [...]

Van She

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

Van She, Van She, Van She. Let’s hope for the sake of all pop music, or at least for the sake of Top 40, that Van She makes some sort of huge impact in the States. I’d much rather happen to turn on the radio and have this playing than some Black Eyed Peas hacked [...]

DJA

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

Is Tuesday too early for a party track? When coupled with Bonde Do Role, Blue Oyster Cult has never sounded better. More fuel to the Bonde Do Role hype fire.
DJA RMX – “Danca Reaper”
Listen to this and then head over to DJA’s Myspace and listen to his beats. But don’t cop them. Even though you’ll [...]

iTunes: MSTRKFRT, Nelly Furtado

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

1) Not new, but MSTRKRFT has the free single of the week over at iTunes with “Easy Love.” Hop over there to download it. The user reviews are funny to read too.
MSTRKRFT – “Easy Love”
2) By now we all know Nelly Furtado’s new one is going to be the pop album of the year… [...]

The Presets

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

In case you forgot, The Presets’ Beam is finally released today in the States. Now you don’t have to pay those outrageous import prices. This post isn’t much more than a reminder.
Purchase: Amazon | Insound

If you haven’t yet, you can still download their single “Are You The One” from Modular People for free.
North America tour [...]

Division Day

Monday, April 17th, 2006

I was lucky enough to have a cd-r of Division Day’s Beartrap Island sent to me a couple months ago. I put the disc on in my car where it lived for about a month. That, my friends, is a good thing. I can tell how solid a record is by how long it stays [...]

Mock & Toof

Monday, April 17th, 2006

“Lycra Virgin” is one of those tracks that is destined to bounce around the internet. There is no avoiding it.
Re-edits of ‘old’ songs often have an unavoidable sense of irony… They often take on what we now expect the past to sound like. “Like A Virgin”, even though it is the ultimate artifact of [...]

Gnarls Barkley

Saturday, April 15th, 2006

Most of you are already familiar with Gnarls Barkley so they do not really need an introduction. And you probably already know Gnarls Barkley topped the UK charts at Number 1 a couple weeks ago based solely on computer download sales — a first for any artist.
Hype, hype, hype. Check out Danger Mouse and [...]
