Mmm…. seems like we weren’t the only ones loving Sally Shapiro this past summer. For what it is worth Pitchfork is in on the love too. Geez, are they lining Sally Shapiro up to be the next Annie or Lilly Allen? Just kidding… kinda. Either way, I doubt she’s going to be our secret much [...]

Plant Music, who you might know from their “This Is The Sound Of Young NY” series, has a new compilation coming out on November 14th that I must say is pretty damn good. Well pretty damn good for whatever my opinion is worth I guess. Many of these tracks are exclusive or (until now) have [...]

um…

The Teenagers have been bouncing all around the internets the past month or so… and with good reason. These are so good I’d be totally surprised if you haven’t already heard them. They’re putting out some pretty damn good tracks, like the type that will make you really stop and want to listen. “Homecoming” kinda [...]

Young Love - “Find A New Way” (YouTube)
Hey. New video for Young Love’s “Find A New Way.” Anyone with an office job can totally relate to this video. Like, who hasn’t locked themselves in the bathroom at work for a private dance party? The minimal dance-rock sound is a slight departure from the over the [...]

I have two Halloween mixes and a special track for you guys… just in time for all those costume parties this weekend.
1) The first comes from UK indie pop act Eskiimo.
Listen: Eskiimo - “Halloween Mixtape” (mp3)
Pure pop Halloween. Then head over to Eskiimo’s MySpace to check out some of their original tracks or YouTube [...]

Two videos for Scanners’ “Low Life”? Confused? The second one seems “official” since it features the band, but Abraham & Joseph’s underwear take is a bit more interesting and unexpected. Either way, it is about impossible to do any wrong to this song.

Oh thank you Dim Mak for bringing Whitey to the States. I know if you’re reading this site then you probably don’t need a Whitey introduction — or I hope most of ya’ll don’t need a Whitey introduction. It is no secret that we’ve been kicking around his album and remixes for quite some time, [...]

Marc from Sandwich Club wrote in to tell me that I would love the Soft Tigers. He was right. “Mr Ice Cream Introduces” is just total sweet goodness. The track totally feels like the male counterpart to New Young Pony Club’s “Ice Cream.” But like with more of that guitar sound rather than disco. At [...]

Live: Orpheum Theatre, Boston @ October 23, 2006
The first time I was supposed to see Scissor Sisters was at TT’s The Bear, a Cambridge, Massachusetts club that has a capacity of like twenty or thirty people. Seriously, that small. Unfortunately, due to travel problems, the show was cancelled, and my schedule conflicted with the rescheduled date. [...]

Here’s the latest from Switzerland’s own gutter crew, Audioporno. Crunchy, filtered synth sandwiched between nothing creates the best beats.

Audioporno - “Magnum” (mp3)
Audioporno will be releasing a new 12″ this November with DJ Shir Khan from Berlin. Sounds pretty damn good — the 12″ includes that Spank Rock mix they did a while back. DJ [...]

Pink Grease - “Alien” (YouTube)
