I’ve already professed my love for Hail Social‘s Modern Love and Death… hands down one of the best albums of 07. Not stopping there… the band is close to releasing a remix album of Modern Love and Death with mixes by Catchdubs, Cosmo Baker, STA and Pink Skull. Philly is taking over and in front [...]

I Am Spoonbender are finally back for one more show, after 3 years!!! I know I have been waiting even longer than that to see them live again. They are coming to Mezzanine here in San Francisco, this Friday May 11th. We’ve written about them before and if you don’t know who they are well, [...]

Hey it’s survey time. If you’re feeling bored then please take a few minutes to complete this: Blog reader survey. Full disclosure: it’s only fair to tell you that this survey is for our ad service Blogads. I guess it will help advertisers know who reads BIGSTEREO and shit. But in addition to that… it [...]

Dead Disco has been stringing us along single by single for over a year now… is there an album in sight? We can only hope. The English love to play the singles game but it sure is frustrating. Their new single “You’re Out” is probably their poppiest track yet… I imagine this song could play [...]

Ok, I know most of us are on Klaxons overload but hopefully you’re not totally burnt out yet. Tastemaker label Kitsuné was kind enough to send over this Guns’N’Bombs remix of “Gravity’s Rainbow” for your listening pleasure. I know the track has been remixed — and remixed… but even a year later I don’t think [...]

Because of their last incarnation, many will say that Soiuxsie & The Banshees were not new wave. But a band with a career that spans 20 years is allowed to try on many different hats & though the hat Siouxsie & the Banshees last wore was decidedly more dark (i.e. goth) their roots were bathed [...]

Disco is one of my guilty pleasures. I secretly wish I could dance on one of those ‘Saturday Night Fever’ light up floors with guys whose pants are tighter than mine.  I love how this track from Treasure Fingers made me imagine I was standing next to Chromeo singing the vocals in a sweeping camera shot of the Daft [...]

“Muscles, I love you and I want to have your baby.” I was lucky enough to arrange some one-on-one time with Muscles when he pulled through San Francisco this past friday with the Soulwax NiteVersions/2Many Dj’s tour. I had known relatively little about him prior due to scarce information on his websites and other music blogs. Well, [...]

We gets lot of mix tape submissions. Lots and lots. It’s often hard to pick and choose which to post because it’s often like comparing apples and oranges. Like someone might have an excellent track list but their mixing skills suck or someone might be at the top of their game but their track list [...]

  Sometimes music fits my scenario so well. This song from the French duo, Panda Transport, seems to be the perfect soundtrack for me as I’m curled up on my couch, sweatshirt hood on and avoiding the rain outside. Something about their sound makes me want to load it onto my mp3 player and go wandering [...]

Miss Odd Kidd is one of those rare MySpace finds where you think you’ve discovered the next great thing and then seconds later realize that all your MySpace friends are already MySpace friends with her and you’re just late. All right, all right. I’m about to make a lazy comparission, but Miss Odd Kid sounds [...]

Pink Skull is at it again and has given a ‘macumba’ spin to Architecture In Helsinki’s new single. They must have gone to South America on their last holiday and caught the bailefunk..or was it the bird flu? The original version sounds pretty tribal to begin with, but the Pink Skull guys have thrown the funk [...]

Les Georges Leningrad was a band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Their quirky stage costumes were accompanied by an equally quirky sound. As mysterious as their music was so were their interviews. The band was know for purposely giving ridiculous answers to questions about their past or/or future. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Les [...]

Crystal Understanding was described to me as “fake-rave electronic weirdness” which is kinda dead on — though it seems everything is slapped with rave these days just cause. Crystal Understanding’s debut Hold The Gen reminds me a bit of DIY electro-popsters the Blow… same sort of feeling. My only real complaint about this album is [...]
