Wet Look

Wet Look

July 30th, 2010

Watching my creepily skinny naked exboyfriend pretend fucking a girl is kind of grossing me out even though I love the guy, but this song is driving me nuts. I love this track. A little Kate Bush, a little Ssion, and a little La Roux make for a lotta good time. Gay is the new [...]

Jaill

July 28th, 2010

Leave it to some boys from the Midwest to remind us how rad guitar rock is… Jaill’s new video has a beach/alien theme which is pretty rad by itself, but throw in some guitars and it’s like woah. No apologies garage rock sound… only makes me want to hear more. [Audio clip: view full post [...]

The Knocks + Emil & Friends

July 27th, 2010

I DJed with B-Roc of The Knocks a few months ago. Dude totally blew me away with both his song selection and technical ability. Though I love The Knocks’ single “Blackout,” their new release “Make It Better” was definitely the highlight of the set. The latter dropped today on Neon Gold, and BIGSTEREO is happy [...]

Teeth + Hocus Tocus

July 26th, 2010

Teeth will save us all. The Hocus Tocus remix of “See Spaces” is like dropping an eight ball — fucking fuzzed out bliss ready to warp your mind. It’s like falling down the rabbit hole. The way music should be. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Teeth – “See Spaces” (Hocus Tocus Remix)

Tinashé + Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

Tinashé + Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

July 23rd, 2010

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs takes on Tinashé’s single “Saved” off his debut. The world needs more angels, obvs. Pretty straight forward remix as far as TEED goes — but, naw a straight forward disco mix of some smooth pop isn’t a bad thing.

Pacific!

Pacific!

July 20th, 2010

We go through the motions… photo, video, copy, hype, mp3. Day after day. Like waves. The tide ebbs and flows. Nothing new. Always the same favors and fake friends. We’re all Sybarites. We keep wanting more. The music is forgotten. Hoping that this is something real… [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Pacific! – [...]

Klaxons – “Echoes” Oh look, a brand new Klaxons video directed by Saam — it’s like 2006 never left us. I wasn’t sure about “Echoes” at first. But now I’m totally sold. Welcome back guys, it’s been too long.

Teeth

Teeth

July 17th, 2010

If there is any hope for bloghouse to be the vogue sound again then it all lies with Teeth. Finally, a natural, much welcomed evolution from the stale beats and distorted synth lines that have been clogging the Internet for the past couple years. Trends aside, Teeth excel on their own merits with “See Spaces” [...]

Sunday Girl + Azari & III

Sunday Girl + Azari & III

July 16th, 2010

Sunday Girl – “Self Control” Laura Branigan lives on in Sunday Girl’s cover of “Self Control.” No one is a match to the power of Branigan’s vocals, for sure, but Sunday Girl brings a nice lilt here and keeps the original spirit alive. Azari & III take a darker approach, almost sleazy. The fog rolls [...]

Oh good day. Because if mp3s were physical then In Ghost Colours would be totally worn out by now. We hate the whole “sign up for a mailing list” approach, but it’s Cut Copy. And this is a wonderful new direction… [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Modular back full force.

Young Empires – “AGAINST the WALL” Fuck yeah, disco punk is back in full force. Nothing better. And Young Empires is leading the pack. “Against The Wall” is coupled with another one of the band’s now signature homemade video’s — this time splicing together the fashion world. But it’s the strength of the track that [...]

July 11th, 2010

I’ve been digging this track and video by The Aikiu‘s for “Just Can’t Sleep”, a little bit of disco never hurt anyone. Alex Aikiu has been described as ‘Madonna with a dick … but with the voice of Simon le Bon’, and I’m not sure I really wanna question it. He’s been working with Pilooski, [...]
