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 — [...]

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. [...]

This is my second Scanners post in a relatively short period of time. If I didn’t control myself, I would probably be writing a Scanners post daily. Or something. As far as I can tell, the general internet buzz is minimal, but the buzz that does exist is total over the top, drooling, defend-or-die type [...]

Pajama Party - “Hide And Seek” (mov)
Woah, I never even knew Pajama Party made a video. Did they have any others? This is so awful… and not even the original line up. Oh well.

Para One’s Epiphanie has left a fingerprint on my speakers.
Few albums successfully achieve the sound of the future… [...]

So much Teddybears STHLM. Everywhere. Talk about a marketing blitz.
The news is that Soft Machine is mostly repackaged tracks taken from the Teddybears’ Swedish albums from the past few years. Which is fine since the band is almost totally unknown here. What is sweet though is that the band has been busy.
For example: The [...]

I am Spoonbender Buy Hidden Persuaders Trailer (YouTube)
I Am Spoonbender are back, and it’s about damn time. Not only have they made us wait this long for a new full length but they are paying us back for the wait. They are releasing their new album which was due for release in ‘04 for free!!!! [...]

So I am back in the States. I have been neglecting BigStereo in a bad way, and I apologize. Thank god for Travis to hold the fort. I got back from Europe and went directly to moving into a new apartment. I forgot what not having internet was like…a fucking nightmare.
So Stockholm was fantastic as [...]

It’s been like a full month since the Pony brought the latest from Simian Mobile Disco, but it’s never too late. I’ve been wearing these tracks out like it’s Wednesday.
Not trying to create an echo chamber here, but what is there to say about SMD that you don’t already know — nothing. “Tits [...]
