YYYs + Dirty P

July 14th, 2006

A Peaches remix of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? I know, I know. You’re thinking that you accidently time warped back to 2001. But no. We’re halfway through 2006, and this year seems to be shaping up a lot like ‘01. To my knowledge this is the first Peaches remix that she did not drop her [...]

Federation + E-40

Federation + E-40

July 14th, 2006

No matter how many times it’s done, I will never tire of artists sampling or remaking Corey Hart’s “Sunglasses At Night.” Hart’s classic was the ultimate bad ass fashion statement. And the quintessential 80’s attitude that has been able to cross generations and genres.
Tiga’s now classic electro cover in 2001 was filled with both [...]

You & The Atom Bomb

You & The Atom Bomb

July 13th, 2006

My love for You & The Atom Bomb has flickered off and on over the past year. Not that their music has been inconsistent. My taste is just not always consistent. You & The Atom Bomb’s “Mudwig Bahnhoff” is so fucking on… sounding part Talking Heads, maybe a bit Maximo Park, definitely their own thing [...]

The video for “Work On You” may be the best thing I’ve ever seen. I never, never get sick of robots. Especially sexy robots. Both the song and video certainly have a Daft Punk feeling to it… like Interstella 5555 or something.

Jarvis Cocker is back once again, he’s like Jesus, resurrecting to show us he’s died for our sins. His new solo album is in the works. This time he claims to be releasing a more personal album, claiming he is too old to be making music for others.
On the new material he seems to be [...]

The Bum Out Eternal

The Bum Out Eternal

July 10th, 2006

The Bum Out Eternal. I don’t know. As far as band names go, gosh that really does not do it for me. Maybe it’s an inside joke or something? Anyway, thank goodness the music is better than the band’s name. The Bum Out Eternal is putting out some synth-pop that sounds very Euro, very Swedish. [...]

You all know Tim Mangan from duo Cass & Mangan, but you may not know he is now also co-owner of new record label Private Joy. Private Joy’s first release will be a double A side from Mangan: “I Am Digit” and “Money Stab.” I guess if you’re at all familiar with Cass & Mangan’s [...]

It’s The Money Shot had the jump off. I don’t know… maybe it’s because Superman has returned, but “Kyptonite Pussy” is the jam around here. Yo Majesty is not afraid to bring it back to when hip-hop was fun and not about how many times you got shot in the face. Damn it Fiffy, nobody [...]
