The Bird And The Bee

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

What works best about The Bird And The Bee’s “F*cking Boyfriend”? Inara George’s Imogen Heap-ish vocals seem unexpected. She should be cooing over her loving boyfriend, not cooing over her would be fucking boyfriend.
So the Peaches remix should be easy, almost obvious. Not quite. This is the one remix that I want Peaches to [...]

Shiny Toy Guns + Boys Noize

Friday, October 20th, 2006

Hm, Boys Noize has done it again — this time with Shiny Toy Guns. They bring their signature sound, some crunchy synth, and hint at and echo the original track. I thought the original song was club ready, but I guess this is even more so. I do wish it broke the track down just [...]

Klaxons

Klaxons - “Magick” (YouTube)
Are Klaxons way too big to still be talking about? Haha. I guess this video has been kicking around YouTube for over a week now, but today was my first time seeing it. Fucking love the green. I gotta say it’s fun watching these guys get bigger and bigger and bigger.
Their [...]

Wet Confetti - “Laughing Gasping”
Slow week. What can I say?… I’m breaking the silence with Wet Confetti’s “Laughing, Gasping.” I am in love with this song — the song more than the video — but eh… the video will do. I was going wait to post this band until after I heard the full album, [...]

Spektrum

Spektrum-”Don’t Be Shy” (YouTube)
Spektrum brings us their new single “Don’t Be Shy”. One of their danciest most lovable songs yet. Who can go wrong with a set of bunny ears and a hot gap?

Le Castle Vania

Saturday, October 14th, 2006

DJ DJ Dylan is at it! Now as musician. What can this kid not do? Here is an example of the dancefloor mayhem he can bring with not only his remixing but his producing. As his new project Le Castle Vania(the artist) he makes you wanna go out and punch someone with a kiss on [...]

The Black Ghosts

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Yo. I’ve been on The Black Ghosts’ Myspace quite a few times during the past month or so… just to stream their tracks. So I must say I was pretty psyched when promo tracks recently ended up in my inbox. Eh, just in time for Halloween! The Black Ghosts present a different twist on your [...]

Not a secret: James Headphonesex has one of the best blogs around. Recently, he started collecting CDs for a charity auction to help burn victims from the 2002 Bali club bombings. What can you do? Mail him CDs or DVDs that he can auction off. His goal is only £1,000.00 — so let’s help him [...]

Carol Lynn Townes

Carol Lynn Townes - “I Believe In The Beat” (YouTube)
God bless YouTube. God bless Carol Lynn Townes, Turbo and Ozone: what else do you need for a street party? Oh balloons! And look at those colors. That is some serious fashion.
Oh I know we’ve discussed Breakin’ a few times… but this video! This is somehow [...]

Passions

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006

There was this six month pathetic period of my life where I was totally unemployed and poor and I stayed at home and ate Bon Bons and watched soaps all day. My favorite was Passions because one of the story lines centered around Tabitha (a witch, duh) who would put Timmy (a living doll that [...]

New Rave

Monday, October 9th, 2006

Excuse my diatribe but…
Yeah. It was pretty much decided, the moment that NME first uttered the phrase, that New Rave pretty much sucked. Not the music mind you. Klaxons are a breath of fresh air, and The Sunshine Underground have been making great Electro-Rock for a few years now. It’s the name. New Rave stinks. [...]

J*Davey

Monday, October 9th, 2006

Woah, J*Davey is one of those suggestions that hits hard… like “how did I miss this one?” On a totally obvious superficial level they remind me of Kudu — but, um, better — or even Erykah Badu or Bahamadia. Lead singer Jack Davey has a similar vocal style that you’ll recognize. But she’s taken it [...]
