Miss Prissy, Misshapes, Coachella. All Madonna needs now is a Diplo mix… ah. Shit… too late. Yousendit: Madonna – “Hung Up” (Diplo Mix) (via Clitspit)

The best part about Youtube is the instant access to all those classic 80s videos you kind of forgot about… How awesome was this video? I was always more of a fan of Part II when they were dancing on the ship with the pirates. Still hot. More Cyndi Lauper videos

Ok, I know Erlend Øye is hardly an insider tip. But. If I had to pick one favorite song of all time, it would be Erlend Øye’s “The Black Keys Work.” I have listened to this song at least a billion times, and it is still a favorite. Hands down. The sensitivity of his voice [...]

Ok, I know Jason Schwartzman has his own band, but does that one guy (second from right) look like Jason Schwartzman? No? Ok so maybe it’s just the photo. Whatever, Islands are about a million times better than Phantom Planet, and that is all that matters. Why does it feel like Friday, and it’s only [...]

Watch: The Presets – “Are You The One” (Real | Windows | Quicktime) Watch: The Presets – “Down Down Down” (Real | Windows) Tourdates

In 2005, Kitty-Yo started a sub-label called Kitty-Cuts which focused on releasing above par club tracks. “Cuts & Pieces” is the product of that. Kitty-Yo/Cuts recently chose to release a CD compilation of rare and exclusive tracks and remixes to showcase their roster. Compilations are always hard to post about because it’s hard to choose [...]

The Vibration is the soul clash that my heart was needing on this snowy, cold winter night. Their press release compares them to Sleater-Kinney, The Gossip and Siouxsie & the Banshees, but you know press releases — full of grandiose statements that rarely hold. Well, this time the comparisons are dead on. This post-punk, post-riot-grrl [...]

Friday = Lazy blog post. I’m not sold on Jeff Saltzman’s production, but I’ve been giving The Sounds’ new record a lot of spin as of late. Always happy to see the return of a favorite band. Listen: The Sounds – “Painted By Numbers” (mp3) Purchase: Amazon Tourdates

Oh it’s so hot right now to post pre-Madonna Stuart Price tracks. Isn’t it? I had to go into the vault for this one. My first introduction to Les Rythmes Digitales was by way of his remix of Beck’s “Mixed Bizzness”… way back in 1999. I might still have it on 12″ somewhere. Really, this [...]

1) iTunes has an “exclusive” Postal Service remix of Feist’s “Mushaboom.” Kind of “funny” considering the Postal Service’s most recent hissy fit with Apple… 2) Goldfrapp’s “Ooh La La” is the free download of the week. 3) You’ve heard Diplo’s mix. You’ve heard the original version. Now hear what Nick (Zinner) has to say about [...]

Yo. Put Peach in the mix. I’ve been trying to hold onto this one for a while now, but I can wait no longer. Mr. Oh?!, this track is for you. Dim Mak have released the first of their “Connect The Dot” series: the Bloc Party “Helicopter” remix single sporting remixes by Diplo, Weird Science [...]

It’s a bit surprising that I never wrote about one of my favorite albums last year — Maximo Park’s A Certain Trigger. Maybe I read too much praise about it, and really, what did little ol’ me have to add to the chorus? This track is off the latest UK single, “I Want You To [...]

Here are a couple of mash-ups to brighten your Sunday. The first one comes from bigstereo friend, DJ Paul V. Listen: Dj Paul V. – “Cheneys Got A Gun” (mp3) … too funny. And while you’re at it play the Cheney Quail Hunt Game. ——— The second mix comes from Peter aka del piero. Ok [...]

This group from Philadelphia are sure to be on top ten lists for this year. Their album titled ‘Yoyoyoyoyo’ is set to be released this spring on Big Dada Records. The album as a whole is incredible, their style is so unique and breaks all the rules as far as a hiphop and rap go. [...]

Like Franz and Shape before him, Kavinsky takes on high speed driving, house beats, and arpeggios with his track “Testarossa Autodrive.” After dying in a car crash in 1986, he is a zombie, and that means two things: he eats brains, and you don”™t want to be in the passenger seat. Although, he has made [...]

Music from Sweden always defines generations. You ask for proof? ABBA and Max Martin. Well add the Ark to that list because they’re about to take over. The Ark is one of those bands that hype has slowly been building and building and building around. I have to admit I was kind of waiting on [...]

How cute is Drummer Dog? Don’t you just want to hug him? You can see Drummer Dog and all his friends in the video for Boy Least Likely To’s “Be Gentle With Me.” Watch: Boy Least Likely To – “Be Gentle With Me” (Hi | Lo) Boy Least Likely To is just impossible not to [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day to those who care for such holidays. Here’s a little gift to you from a very mysterious band who only seem to have one song and no official website. First heard this song at Hold Yr Horses thanks to our favorite guest DJ, Dylan, who unfortunately misplaced his vinyl for this song [...]

I know. This photo is a bit boyband-ish, but all Men, Women & Children have in common with the Backstreet Boys is fucking fun tunes. This is non-stop dance… dance-rock. Don’t worry though. They’re not another The Killers or The Bravery. Thank. God. Think more like the Scissor Sisters on speed. Or Devo not being [...]
