Datarock

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

I love Datarock, you love Datarock, we love Datarock! With that said they present you their new single “Fa-Fa-Fa”. The single was released on the 25th of this month. “Fa-Fa-Fa” captures disco-indie at it’s finest. Certain parts of the new single really remind me of classic 99 Records pressings. What Princess Superstar does to the [...]

SMD + Saam

Simian Mobile Disco - “Hustler” (youtube)
Uh oh. Here’s the latest video from Saam… super sexy visuals for Simian Mobile Disco’s “Hustler” which was released on Kitsune earlier this summer. I know some of ya’ll are hoping that camera won’t stop.
Saam news: he is currently busy on a documentary for Soulwax. Settle down.

The Gossip + Soulwax

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

If you’ve read bigstereo for any amount of time you know I have a total weak spot for The Gossip. Maybe a favorite? So how do you make The Gossip better? Add a little Soulwax. Guitars melt into synth… Soulwax’s remix of “Standing In The Way Of Control” is as good as it gets. It’s [...]

UTIOG + Weird Science

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Woah, here’s the latest remix by Weird Science of Under The Influence Of Giants’ “Mama’s Room.” Check it: A remix that is shorter than the original. Something has to be said for that… good news for those of us who don’t have a ten minute long attention span.
I know a lot of you already [...]

Pinky Tuscadero

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

1) Why haven’t I seen Pinky Tuscadero on every single music blog? What is wrong with you people? Even Hype Machine is empty.
2) Pinky Tuscadero sounds something like The B-52’s mixed with early Sleater-Kinney with a little bit of Fever To Tell YYYs… and dare I say showtunes? But like showtunes in a good way. [...]

Tiga

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

“Wooooooooo” is the sound of me trying to sound excited. Tiga recently saw the domestic release of his album Sexor on Last Gang. You know — the one you either bought digitally from Pias or, um, downloaded illegally a year ago. It is awesome that all these great dance albums are finally making their way to the [...]

Damn Arms

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Oh thank you Jerry for pointing out this band. Good stuff. Maybe some of you cooler kids already know this band… they’ve toured Australia with The Kills, Test Icicles, We Are Scientist, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, etc, etc, etc. They are building quite the resume.
Damn Arms sound something like The Presets, but with more rock [...]

In Flagranti

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

In Flagranti is coming at you at full force. We’ve all been waiting and anticipating. I kind of had my doubts at first, due to the fact that I feel their songs are very hit or miss. At first they seemed a bit too rough for me, then I began to hear the influences I [...]

Soulwax

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

Mothafuckin’ Soulwax!!! You all know who they are, you all love their traxx. Well I saw them this last Friday at the Mezzanine, here in San Francisco. The night started young, I DJ’d an early set at Shadowplay, then I rushed over on a drunken’ limo ride to the Mezzanine(the ride itself was a whole [...]

Contest: Goldfrapp

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

It is no secret that the release of Goldfrapp’s Supernature left American fans feeling a little shunned. The album was delayed six months, there were very few live dates, marketing seemed without focus. The album that sent the band to the top of the charts in the UK was basically a flop here. Oh well, [...]

DJMIX:Fit For Use

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

Here’s a DJ mix from Charlotte, North Carolina. Where? Yeah, good music is finding itself everywhere. Here is further proof of the decentralization of the music scene and the need for bands and djs to include smaller cities on their tours. To see photos of hundreds of kids dancing to Klaxons in North Carolina — [...]

Scissors For Lefty

Monday, September 18th, 2006

As a left handed person, I always hated being stuck with the left handed scissors in grade school. See, usually there was one pair and they never worked properly and you had to share them with the only other left handed kid who was usually the kid who ate glue and picked his nose. Horrible. [...]
