Greetings. This is my first post, and I thought I’d start things off with one of my favorite hidden gems. Some of you may recognize the band Blitz as one of the most well known old school Oi/Punk bands. However not many people know that in 1983 they had a bit of a personnel split, [...]

This weeks Check Yo’ at the Echoplex is a little bit low key — though Andee Frost will be on the decks all the way from Australia along with resident DJs Franki Chan and Paparazzi. Not that that alone shouldn’t already compel you… but if you need more motivation upstairs at the Echo is a [...]

Here’s a little YouTube action of the creation of the “Dr Love” video by the Bumblebeez. If you ever wondered how the chest paintings were done then wonder no more… bonus points if you sit through all eight minutes:

If you’re missing the real thing, we brought it to you a few months ago… never too [...]

Metronomy is off on a USA tour this August. I urge you to hit one of the dates if they’re in your town of choice because is not every day their on this side of the ocean. Need a refresher? I think we posted “Tricks or Treatz” a long, long, long time ago (as in [...]

The last thing we posted about Trina Kills was the remix used on the Ed Rec Vol. 2 video. Well, Trina Kills is back again with a remix of Mr. Oizo’s C.H.I.V.E.R.S from the new movie, Steak. Now there’s not much information in English to be found about the film (or Trina [...]

I’m not sure how long “Better Than Promo” has been up on Dustin & Garret’s MySpace… perhaps it’s been there all along and I’m just not that observant. BUUUUUUT… I am loving it. Generally I hate people who start stories off with “I was sooo drunk last night…” but this might be the one exception. [...]

It’s no secret that Dragonette and Calvin Harris are two artists we’ve been loving around here. So when a cover by Dragonette of Calvin Harris’ “The Girls” lands in our inbox, it’s a cause for a little bit of excitement… or at the very least a little dancing around. Oh man. I can’t decide which [...]

The guys are finally releasing their cd and the party is ready to go at Mezzanine next week. Come check them out and all the other goodies.

Music is very DIY these days. Kids don’t need a fancy recording studio. A computer and a little closet seem to be getting the job done just fine. Bobmo, Surkin, and now Bark Bark Bark…aka Jacob Cooper, hails from Tuscon, AZ, likes to sew, claims to be 100% unprofessional and would like to let [...]

I saw Chromeo last night to a sold out crowd of 1,200 and everyone went c-RAZY! Here’s their vid for ‘Tenderoni’. They’re coming to LA and San Diego to round out their tour before they leave for Europe, so don’t miss ‘em!

Flufftronix and Curtis Vodka are coming to a city near you. They’re off on a (rad) Summer road trip and are hitting up a bunch of cities on the left and right coast and a few in between… including Lights Down Low on the 27th.
To get you in the mood Flufftronix put together this little [...]

So I just got directed to Kitsune’s video archive and stumbled upon this video for The Whip’s Dive Bomb. Welcome to the music factory….this is where it gets grimy. And cheers to the girl drummer…..

Y&R – “Police Police”
Somebody hurry up quick and bring Young & Restless to America. I’m begging you. Please. Directed by Rhett Wade-Ferrell for Moop Jaw, the “Police Police” video totally cements my love for this band.
