Holy shit Toxic Avenger is taking over. I think this is the third Toxic Avenger remix posted on BIGSTEREO in the past month… which might be some kinda record. This latest remix is of a little band from France that is gonna blow up big. Sexual Earthquake In Kobe sort of have the electro frat [...]

With Lesbians On Ecstasy, I have never quite been able to tell where the joke starts and where it stops. They’re a bit of an enigma. And depending our your personality, you could take them very serious — like woah, this is so political — or just laugh along and dance and enjoy them on [...]

Recently my good friend Stephen Boyer told me about a band called Tyskerhar and that I should check them out. I immediatly checked out their MySpace cause I knew it would be good if he was recommending them, and now I’m hooked. Stephen is a writer that I met more than a year ago and [...]

Rory Phillips is a busy guy. Perhaps you’ll recognize him from sets alongside Erol Alkan at London’s dearly departed Trash, OR East London’s Our Disco, OR his main room slot at Durrr. Because of his unique style and close proximity to major players in the music game, he’s been able to dj with the likes [...]

So I’m DJing at probably the coolest gay night in the city of gays, Playboy, on April 7th, the day before Jesus day. They fill up the house and dim the lights for your pleasure. It’s also presented by the wonderful Miss Juanita More.
This is going to be an awesome night, and only expect [...]

We revist the Los Angeles punk scene again this week. Geza (real first name) was a sought after producer in the late 70’s early 80’s. He adopted the ‘X’ at the end of his name as a tribute to Malcolm X. He produced albums for many well know punk bands such as [...]

It’s been over a year since we first fell in love with and posted Yelle’s “Je Veux Te Voir”, but it’s never too late to revisit — ’specially since she’s finally starting to pick up some heat Stateside. The video looks like MIA’s “Galang” but with lots more hearts and rainbows and shit. It is [...]

This song is still the shit, no matter what you say.

I recently wrote this note to a friend in regards to Hail Social’s new album, Modern Love And Death:
very… like 70’s non-dance disco but like post-punk at the same time. very um, unlikely. but just so good. almost important even.
Ok, that was at like 3am, but my opinion hasn’t changed much. It seems like Hail [...]

One thing we don’t do is review websites. That would be opening the floodgates. Butbutbut Virb is important enough to note.
In short, Virb has taken everything I hate about MySpace and turned it into something I can easily love. They’ve made it good… enjoyable even; not to mention easy navigation and clean layouts. Even though [...]

This Tomboy post has been a long time coming — You know Tomboy from his remixes. You know Tomboy from his work with WhoMadeWho. You know him from his singles. And if you don’t already, you will know know Tomboy from his new album, Serious. The album takes a few cues from Tomboy’s previous work [...]
