Australia owns the dirtiest sounds in the world. Proof is in this remix: The Valentinos’ “CCTV” (Bang Gang vs. Van She Tech Remix). I’ve been pumping this remix out for a few weeks… like total repeat non-stop play. To be straight up with you guys: I’ve wanted to be selfish and keep it all for [...]

Hey, I was like sitting around last night thinking, “What does the Internet need that it doesn’t already have?” Then I had a total nerd idea. How about a message board? Golly, there aren’t enough of those! So this could totally take off and be hotter than your mom, or it could totally crash and [...]

If you’ve read Greek myths or literature, you might know that the Mymidons were a race of people who were blindly and faithfuly loyal to their leader Achilles. I’m not much of a reader of Greek myths or literature though. I am an avid reader of Wikipedia… in all its infinite un-knowledge. But all that [...]

Planningtorock feels like the love child of Matthew Barney and Bjork… but like all grown up. I’m not saying that visually Planningtorock (aka Janine Rostron) reminds me much of Matthew Barney. Her music doesn’t remind me much of Bjork either. But there is a master of art and free spirit link there: I imagine them [...]

I don’t know much about Roc. Though after a listen to Dsico’s remix of “Sink A Bite Into Life” I feel like I should. He has worked some serious magic into their track. Roc seems to have a sort of dirty New Order sound… or maybe, dare I say, Berlin. Though not total retro-whatever, Roc [...]

Oh yay for The Blow. I believe “Pile Of Gold” is already sitting on like fifty other music blogs which leads me to believe that I probably can’t add much to the collective chorus of praises. I can say “Poor Aim: Love Songs” is perhaps one of my all time favorite EPs. I have listened [...]

I’ve hated The Ettes for about one year now. To be honest it is totally not fair. Easy now, I’m working it out. You know when you hate the prettiest girl in the room just because she’s hot? And you kind of just want her to trip up because you’re a little bit envious or [...]

Let’s try this again. I guess the ‘real’ reason The Rapture’s new video for “Get Myself Into It” was pulled by the RIAA was because they need to do some last minute editing — like blink and you miss it but there’s Jessica Simpson. I guess she did a rollerskating video too? Who watches that [...]

I post a fair amount of videos, but I don’t usually pay much mind to directors. As of late though I have noticed a trend. There have been quite a few videos from Saam finding their way onto bigstereo — New Young Pony Club, Dead Disco, Klaxons. He definitely seems like the “in” music video [...]

Girl Monster is Chick On Speeds’ most ambitious project since they launched their own record label. This three disc set is like the ultimate female electronic-punk compilation collection ever. Ever. Razor and Tie better watch out. With 61 tracks, Girl Monster is sure to please — you have your “classics” from the Slits and Delta [...]

I usually filter out most of the indie rock that lands in my inbox because there about five billion blogs out there already doing that. Often it doesn’t really hold much interest either. But I can’t let Scanners slip by without posting something up. In Scanners’ “Lowlife”, singer Sarah Dailey sings with a sense of [...]

When I think remixes of Spank Rock I think – typical. They all seem so prescribed. But, but, but. Audioporno’s remix of “Far Left” is anything but typical. Audioporno strips away the XXXchange sound that we all know and love and throws down that big marching band thing. “Far Left” ends up sounding like something [...]

Where was I when Soulwax didn’t release Nite Versions in the USA? I mean — I thought we were done with this album. I guess my favorite part about living in the USA is that all the great electronic albums take about an extra year or so to be released domestically. So by the time [...]

Word, another remix of Young Love’s “Discotech.” This track is so solid on its own that it almost doesn’t need remixes. But both Weird Science and Ocelot Mthrfckrs have pretty much proven that theory wrong. Remixed or not, this track is still not tired. I must admit that I’m a little sad that Young Love’s [...]

As of late, Teddybears have been all over the (music) blogosphere with their unique style of electro-kraut-rock. No surprise. There is something about Teddybears that is very easy to like. You know working with everybody from Iggy Pop to Mad Cobra to Annie has probably helped capture a large array of fans. Perhaps their only shortcoming [...]

I know a lot of you guys already know and love Shiny Toy Guns. And not just because Rchrd Oh?! posted their video for “Le Disko” almost a year ago. Well I’m happy to say that a year later Shiny Toy Guns is back on bigstereo… this time backed with a record deal from Universal. [...]

Woop, woop. The video for The Rapture’s funktastic “Get Myself Into It” has found its way onto YouTube. God bless YouTube. Their new album, Pieces Of The People We Love, is out September 12th. That’s like almost tomorrow. Edit: Btw, YouTube wants every single music video ever. Ever. That’s busy. Edit 2: Ok, so the [...]

Have I been living under a rock? Does like everyone already know and love Bedtime For Toys?… because there is like no way these kids aren’t huge. Or there is no reason they shouldn’t be. I guess being remixed by Le Tigre and working with Har Mar isn’t bad for the resume. Crazy hybrid, genre [...]

NYPC – “Ice Cream” New Young Pony Club recently got the full video treatment for their classic “Ice Cream.” Listen closely nerds. I believe this is a minor edit from the 12″ version we all already know and love. So happy to see this band signed to Modular. Is it an understatement to say that [...]

Even robots get the blues. Wolfgang is a robot with a message — Love. Hey, AI might currently be a pipe dream, and emotion is something our electronic cousins lack. But this is music! Anything can happen! Wolfgang is conceptual ep about a robot who does have emotion. When you’re programmed to emote, what is [...]
