Contest: Lily Allen

February 28th, 2009

I have the hugest soft spot for Lily Allen. She reminds of me high school in San Diego with her rebellious girl power attitude, shit talking and heartbreak songs delivered with a bright colorful smile. Sooooo, I was very excited when we were given a SUPER limited edition picture vinyl of her new album to [...]

RCMP

RCMP

February 27th, 2009

“The Bird” is one those perfect tracks that links electro to disco. It’s so timely and on point. RCMP has hit gold with this one, and I imagine it will do well late into the night.
The release is part of Flamin Hotz Record Club… You can subscribe to the whole year or buy a [...]

FrankMusik – “Better Off As Two”
No, those trails aren’t leftover from your drug fueled night out… it’s just the new FrankMusik video for “Better Off As Two.” Pretty much a simple performance video but totally fun. Make sure to click over to YouTube to watch it in bigger, better quality — because bigger is better.

Mottorama

Mottorama

February 25th, 2009

We mentioned Mottorama once before — they are part of the Subtropics project. Been meaning to do a post since then (or maybe even before then, who knows) but you know how it goes. Anyway. “This or That” is their choice track, and it is a definitely a healthy slice of electro-pop. It kinda reminds [...]

Marina & The Diamonds

Marina & The Diamonds

February 23rd, 2009

Marina & The Diamonds is one of my favorite artists to emerge this year — only two months into 2009, and this is already post number 3. Yikes! But we have two more remixes of “Obsessions” and both are wonderful for different reasons. The Gold Panda remix is my fav of the bunch… but I [...]

South Central

South Central

February 23rd, 2009

New remix from South Central — this time in the form of a Empire of the Sun bootleg. “Empire of the Bootleg” sounds like classic South Central… an epic struggle over two competing styles and sounds. The result is compelling:

Le Corps Mince de Françoise

February 22nd, 2009

Le Corps Mince de Françoise is unleashing their “Bitch of the Bitches” single to the world. Prepping the hype, the band has dropped this DJ Limping Boy remix of the track on the Internet. The remix kinda reminds me of the photo above: dolphins, feathers and bold colors.

The Glamour

February 20th, 2009

It’s been a little while since we heard anything new from The Glamour — our friend Franki posted up a couple new tracks from the duo on IHEARTCOMIX today.
Have to say I’m sure excited with the direction they’re taking… pushing the envelope and creating something that feels a bit more mature (in a good [...]

WhoMadeWho

February 20th, 2009

It’s Gomma Records, baby. “The Plot” is the second single/video for WhoMadeWho’s new album by the same name, The Plot. Minus the green lasers, it is kinda hard to see if you’re in a bright room… so turn out the lights to enjoy. Or just close your eyes because the music more than makes up [...]

Jimmy2Sox has sent over some more tunes. Firstly a seriously good remix of Empire of the Sun’s “We Are The People” which features one catchy sax sample (kudos to those who can pick it in the comments). And secondly a disco remix he did with Graz of Pnau’s “Embrace” (which features Ladyhawke on vox [...]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

February 17th, 2009

Ok yeah this post is totally blogvious but my love affair with the YYYs has been longer than most: Unitard, basements, The EP, small clubs, Fever To Tell, “Maps”, large theaters, larger theatres, award shows…. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs were perhaps my favorite band to watch grow from nothing to the cover of magazines.

Love Concept

Love Concept

February 17th, 2009

Remember when you were a kid and you’d hold your tape recorder up to the radio and record your favorite song and then pass it from mixtape to mixtape until all that was left was a grainy, worn but loved version of the original. That’s kinda what Love Concept sounds like. Filtered and grainy but [...]
