You & The Atom Bomb

You & The Atom Bomb

July 13th, 2006

My love for You & The Atom Bomb has flickered off and on over the past year. Not that their music has been inconsistent. My taste is just not always consistent. You & The Atom Bomb’s “Mudwig Bahnhoff” is so fucking on… sounding part Talking Heads, maybe a bit Maximo Park, definitely their own thing [...]

The video for “Work On You” may be the best thing I’ve ever seen. I never, never get sick of robots. Especially sexy robots. Both the song and video certainly have a Daft Punk feeling to it… like Interstella 5555 or something.

Teki Latex of TTC fame is releasing an album and the first single is titled “Disco Dance With You”. The single was produced by Gonzales, and includes some really good remixes. Now you all know I love me some Spank Rock, and I have particularly grown fond of their remixes as well. Well this is [...]

Jarvis Cocker

July 11th, 2006

Jarvis Cocker is back once again, he’s like Jesus, resurrecting to show us he’s died for our sins. His new solo album is in the works. This time he claims to be releasing a more personal album, claiming he is too old to be making music for others. On the new material he seems to [...]

The Bum Out Eternal

The Bum Out Eternal

July 10th, 2006

The Bum Out Eternal. I don’t know. As far as band names go, gosh that really does not do it for me. Maybe it’s an inside joke or something? Anyway, thank goodness the music is better than the band’s name. The Bum Out Eternal is putting out some synth-pop that sounds very Euro, very Swedish. [...]

You all know Tim Mangan from duo Cass & Mangan, but you may not know he is now also co-owner of new record label Private Joy. Private Joy’s first release will be a double A side from Mangan: “I Am Digit” and “Money Stab.” I guess if you’re at all familiar with Cass & Mangan’s [...]

Yo Majesty

Yo Majesty

July 5th, 2006

It’s The Money Shot had the jump off. I don’t know… maybe it’s because Superman has returned, but “Kyptonite Pussy” is the jam around here. Yo Majesty is not afraid to bring it back to when hip-hop was fun and not about how many times you got shot in the face. Damn it Fiffy, nobody [...]

Happy 4th. Whatevas. Here’s a free ep for you… so you and your friends can celebrate Lady Liberty’s birthday at the barbeque. Chocolate Swim: Lady Sov, Mos Def, Ghislain Poirier, etc. Nothing freaks me out more on the Fourth of July than Kevin Blechdom. It hurts so bad. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] [...]

DJmix2: The Bang Gang

June 30th, 2006

Oh shit, is it already Friday? I was going to have this post all fancy before I took off but… I leave for vacation next week so I’m dropping it now. Really, words don’t matter. You just need to take a listen. And guys, don’t worry… bigstereo will be on auto-pilot until my return. (If [...]

Klaxons

Klaxons

June 29th, 2006

Ok, like I know you were just getting used to the rave being over. Perhaps, if you live in the Midwest or in Amish country, you might not know that the rave is over. No worries. Klaxons seem to be spearheading a neo-rave movement of sorts. But don’t think lame ass candy ravers waving glow [...]

Alice Smith + Freeform Five

Alice Smith + Freeform Five

June 28th, 2006

This track starts out with normal Freeform Five fanfare. Like, you know what to expect with their signature electro-house sound. Except when you’re about to just play it off, they surprise you and lay Alice Smith’s f’ing amazing vocals on top. The track ends up being anything but typical Freeform Five. About three minutes into [...]

We Are Wolves

June 27th, 2006

We Are Wolves is the one wolf band that I never get sick of hearing from. Their debut is easily still a favorite… even a year later. Not an easy task for a band to pull off. W.A.W.’s latest video is for the track “LL Romeo” and is directed by Jean-Fraois Caissy. It is a [...]

The Gossip

June 27th, 2006

Tell me: is this really the video for The Gossip’s “Listen Up”?.. I don’t get it. I guess the lesbos get the video, and the fags get the remixes. I know we’ve already discussed, but isn’t that MSTRKRFT remix fucking delicious? I do like when they let Beth dance with her pizza.

Test Icicles + Spank Rock

June 26th, 2006

Love or hate, Test Icicles short career has been material for some stellar remixes. You could say Test Icicles is living an afterlife in remix. Spank Rock brings the latest — a Baltimore-electro infused mix of Test Icicles most solid track, “Circle Square Triangle.” XXXchange turned the angular rock jam into some heavy synth action [...]

What a week… but it’s officially Friday night. Time to start the weekend. Our friends Audioporno sent in their latest mix to share with you all… It’s like Baltimore has been put through a Swiss filter. There are some hot tracks on here… you’ll smile. I promise.

Linus Loves + 10cc

Linus Loves + 10cc

June 21st, 2006

An interesting thing is happening my friends. The Stranger (via Arjan Writes) reports that Linus Loves’ “Waterfall” is simply the 10cc version on vinyl played at 45rpm. Well, kind of. Curiousity got the best of me so I ripped the original version of 10cc’s “Waterfall” at 45rpm. I mean… how could one band just play [...]

The Raconteurs + Pee Wee

June 21st, 2006

The Raconteurs “Steady, As She Goes” Yeah, I probably wouldn’t even normally post this… I mean: Jack White is kind of played out and is totally super creepy. Tell my he’s not super creepy… and not in a good way. But Pee Wee Herman is in The Raconteurs’ video for “Steady, As She Goes.” You [...]

Under Electric Light

June 20th, 2006

This track has been sitting on my desk for way too long… Under Electric Light is a Montreal duo creating some downtempo synth pop rock. More proof that Montreal is still so hot right now… when’s it going to stop? Under Electric Light’s “Night Out” reminds me of some mid-career New Order mixed with all [...]
