Kinda starting to recover from total SXSW exhaustion — had a blast minus being down for twelve hours as a result of some food poisoning from some nasty fish tacos. Ew.
ANYWAY, next week’s Check Yo’ Ponytail party is with DATAROCK. Be prepared to dance like you never have before. If you’re in LA and miss [...]

So I’m laid up in my house recovering from ACL reconstructive surgery feeling like shit while the rest of the BigStereo crew is dancing their legs off at SXSW.  What better time for this little feel-good ditty from All Night Dance Party to find its way into my inbox and into my ears.  This DJ [...]

SXSW plans:
The whole big BIGSTEREO family arrives in Austin on Tuesday. Please give us a shout for our telephone numbers if you wanna hang out, dance mad, be crazy.
Rchrd Oh?! is dj’ing at NOON on Friday, March 16th at Factory People. Come out and show yourself and buy some new clothes and listen to [...]

Just a reminder to check out the Lo-Fi-Fnk DJ set here, in San Francisco. It’s at Mint(not the kareoke bar) in SoMa by Mezzanine, tomorrow Monday. It’s going to be an awful lot of fun, and I’m DJing as well. Come wish us all a farewell to Austin.

Personally, I’m a sucker for grimy-sounding synths in music these days. I’m also a sucker for tall, skinny guys in skinny jeans. So how do you think I felt when I stumbled across San Francisco’s own dirty little secret, All Teeth and Knuckles? My heart skipped a beat and I haven’t been able to stop [...]

Normally when I think of Revlon, images of slutty pink nailpolish, call-girl red lipstick, whorish shades of blush and Cindy Crawford”™s mole come to mind. But subtract the “˜o”™ and add a “˜9″™ and you have the Swedish duo, Revl9n. The band”™s original four members started making magic back in 1998 out of Stockholm. Things [...]

Google would like you to believe that ‘Model Citizens’ is a cover band made up of 40-somethings, or a trio of ‘Crunk’ producing white boys. But google doesn’t know shit. Model Citizens was an no wave/art rock sextet which surfaced in New York around 1979, made a mini splash then disappeared back into [...]

So this Friday I will be DJing at a really cool lezzie night here in the city, called Hot Pants. Come check it out and support your boy.
Also here’s a preview for a fantastic band called Trippple Nippples from Japan. They’ll be up soon!! They are nothing but out of this world, like Evie [...]

Here is another incredible Bang Gang mix back from Christmas 2006 that the did for Japanese record store Loveless. They never disappoint. It’ll be up on their next podcast but for now snag it here…

Bang Gang recently worked on Modular’s Leave Them All Behind Volume Two — mixing up the collection [...]

We’ve posted their videos before and this one is kinda late 90’s looking, but I love this song.
Es el beat.

SMD – “It’s The Beat”

Woah… Beth Ditto and Jarvis Cocker covered Heaven 17’s classic “Temptation” at the 2007 Shockwaves NME Awards. Sounds too good to be true? Well almost. There are a couple rough spots but overall fantastic.

The Gossip is currently on the cover of NME… but that didn’t help [...]

The Glamour is a couple of kids out of Milwaukee — my guess, judging solely from their tracks, is they have the run of the party scene in Wisconsin (the state famous for its cheese… and beer). I tease with love because the Midwest is gonna take over. “Respect The Party” is a pretty damn [...]
