Van She

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

Sure, I was a little late on the Van She bandwagon. But my feelings about the band haven’t changed since my first post back in April.
Van She is finally coming to America! The band will be releasing their debut ep on Tuesday, August 15th… which means the wait is almost over for all my [...]

Brazilian Girls

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Ok to be straight up, I wasn’t much of a fan of the first Brazilian Girls’ album. I probably should have been. I know a lot of you were. But for whatever reason it never clicked with me.
But their new single “Jique” has me excited. Prefect combination of some dirty synth mixed with dream pop [...]

DJmix4: Tronik Youth

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Besides the obvious excellent playlist, this mix is pretty exciting. Why? Because Tronik Youth has mixed in a preview of his brand new official remix of The Gossip’s “Standing In The Way Of Control.” Word is it’ll be included along with remixes by Trevor Jackson, Headman and Soulwax for a release this October.
Not much [...]

Infants

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

If you like Klaxons, then you may want to check out Infants. Infants up the ante with more e-fueled guitar rock. Beware though: this band will fuck you up. Like the photo confirms, trails will follow. It still seems way too early for all this retro warehouse stuff, but I guess it was bound to [...]

Ethyl Meatplow

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

This is definately an oldie, but I love it. I thought I would share. This band released one full length album(Happy Day’s Sweetheart) which was produced by Barry Adamson, and decided to call it quits.
I think I have met one person ever who knew who this band was. I might have just been too goth [...]

Panther

Panther - “You Don’t Want Yr Nails Done”
I caught Panther opening last time for the Gossip. Dude, the audience was a bunch of hipster fucks who were too cool for it all. But I thought he was the funniest opening act. Ever. I couldn’t stop laughing. So either I got it. Or. I have a [...]

Snowden + Le Castle Vania Disco

Friday, August 4th, 2006

To be fair, I know not much about Snowden. I have a feeling this is a slight… departure. DJ DJ Dylan mixes up their “Black Eyes” to electro-rock perfection. Are those guitars? Is that synth? Somehow it’s all marinated into a perfect remix. I wish there was a bit more emphasis on the “shake shake [...]

DJmix3: Playtrack

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

This week has been… rough. Alas, tonight is Thirsty Thursday so I have a DJ mix to share. Coming from Buck Video, his latest Playtrack has like the hottest, dirtiest tracklisting. It’ll get your night going.

Don’t lose your cool…
Playtrack - “Mish Mash” (mp3)
