Tokyo Police Club + Trey Told Em

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

“Cheer On” is Tokyo Police Club newest single. Trey Told ‘Em is the new side project of fauxmous blog star Gregg Gillis of Girl Talk and Frank Musarra of Hearts of Darknesses. New plus new equals extra new? Trey Told ‘Em’s take on the track transforms the song from dirty rock to DIY pop with [...]

Armand Van Helden

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Pity party: I was one of the lucky New Englanders without power from this stupid storm. We’ve been roughing it at three star hotels since Monday — so Little House on the Prairie let me tell you. Electricity was finally restored a couple hours ago… which is good for you because I have a stack [...]

Glass Candy

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

I can’t think of a more appropriately named song. Within the first five notes I can instantly visualize some flaxen-haired, polyester-clad girl rolling down a grassy hill with the sun illuminating every blade on the way down. I love how Glass Candy draws from the music of 70’s movies/TV shows that you told everyone [...]

Tomboy

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

So Travis already posted a ‘kim-from-the-presets’ remix of this Tomboy song, but admittedly never got around to posting the original….so I’m gonna do it. It’s too good not to….
It’s out on Gomma records. All you other record labels better be scared b/c they got Who Made Who, In Flagranti, Box Codex, Headman, Tomboy….shall I keep [...]

Feist - “1234″ (YouTube)
Ah, Bitch Lap Lap is back with a new album called The Reminder which is the best folk pop my ears have been privy to in a while. “1234″ might be the BEST pop song written in the past decade. This is one of the few times in music video history where [...]

Felix Cartal

Friday, April 13th, 2007

I was gonna post up this track yesterday, but I had the worst headache ever and while listening to it all I wanted to do was pull my brain out of my head and jump on it. No, Felix Cartal’s “Drugs” isn’t bad. I actually mean that as a compliment — this track will fuck [...]

Yo Majesty, Acid Girls, ATOC, In Flagranti

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Friday is going to be out of control.
First I am DJ’ing at the Yo Majesty Show at Rickshaw Stop with my buddy Omar of Popscene, then I’m heading over to my good friend Sleazemore’s birthday party at Lights Down Low with Dj sets by In Flagranti, Acid Girls, and none other than A Touch of [...]

Mr. Oizo

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

So Mr. Oizo aka Quentin Dupieux and I collaborated on this next song. ….Not really, but I feel like he pressed ‘record’ on my thoughts during my last walk home on the streets of San Francisco. Sometimes it’s like going down a mental checklist of every different variation of sexuality. Transexual…check. Bisexual…check. [...]

Bonde Do Role

Bonde Do Role - “Solta O Frango” (Imeem)
Brazil taking over. The video for “Solta O Frango” doesn’t quite capture the intensity of their live show, but it is one of the better videos to land in our inbox in a long time. Fake chicken fights are super.
Bonde Do Role’s With Lasers seems like it [...]

Lucrate Milk

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Masto & Laulm, Two ex-milk delivery boys started Lucrate Milk (short for lucrative milk) in 1979 & were later joined by two other mates. With a penchant for the absurd & anything morbid the band went about making music with nihilism & careless.
Interest in expressionism & the dadaism combined with the members [...]

Check Yo Pony Tail: Adult.

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Been loving the new Adult. album? April 24th is LA’s Check Yo’ Ponytail with Adult., Erase Errata and Parts & Labor. Resident DJs Franki Chan and Paparazzi. Very solid line up. Of course.

The Black Ghosts

The Black Ghosts - “Anyway You Choose To Give It” (YouTube)
We’ve posted The Black Ghosts a few times before — but their latest “Anyway You Choose To Give It” pretty much solidifies them as a bona fide favorite. Totally can’t wait for the album. Let’s say anticipation sucks.

UFO!

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

“let me kiss your teeth…let me lick your eyes….let me choke your throat…let me spit on your face….”
ok…sure…uh huh…por que no? UFO! is at it again. He just got back from a vacation to New York and it seems as if the time off has rubbed him and his music in all the right [...]
