Dan Deacon is a, let’s say, peculiar individual, but in all good respects he is a fantastic musician! His skillful use of synths, samples and various percussion made him one of the most critically acclaimed name in the indie/electro scene, in the past few years. His 2007 full length debut, “Spiderman of the Rings,” was really awesome, although very hard to swallow (repetitive spins ftw!) and kinda short. For this years sophomore release, titled “Bromst,”…
Here’s a new track from our favorite Swedish trio Peter Bjorn and John, presumably (no one officially confirmed the name) titled “Nothing to Worry About,” which just recently premiered on Kanye’s blog. WORLD PREMIERE … THEY SENT THE SONG TO ME FIRST! PETER BJORN & JOHN… SHIT IS DOPE!! DRUMS ARE CRAZY AND I LIKE THE KIDS ON THE HOOK. THERE NEW ALBUM IS CALLED “LIVING THING” ….. WITH ALL THAT SAID I DON’T KNOW…
Yup, here’s another Eminem leak from his upcoming new album “Relapse”, going by the name of ‘Crack a Bottle.’ This time, however, Slim is joined by Fithy’ and the good Dr. Dre on rap duties, as a catchy, almost hypnotizing bass background rolls in and loops and loops. Surprisingly or not, it’s not at all boring, quite interesting. Dr. Dre’s production work shine’s through out the track, though, kinda saving Eminem’s juvenile Solja Boy lyrics…
Arcade Fire has always sorta had a shroud of mystery around it, maybe because of the band’s more or less unique approach to music or maybe just because … it’s just something special. For the fans and curious peeks alike, the band will soon release a DVD, titled Miroir Noir, comprised of a documentary relating the making of AF’s most recent album “Neon Bible”, as well as various live performances from the tour. Through out…
2008 was Justin Vernon’s (aka Bon Iver) year, for sure. His very special debut album, “For Emma, Forever Ago,” (special thanks to its circumstances of creation, special thanks to its soothing nature, special thanks to its sincerity – special by definition) earned him a lot of recognition on and off the scene, and, ultimately, made him one of the most hottest acts of 2008. Naturally, his fans have been aching after some new material and,…
Every artist, lately, has been releasing Christmas songs, but, honestly, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs never seemed like people with the C. spirit in them. Gathering around a Christmas tree, doing decorating, singing charols… neither of these seems their wacky self, but that doesn’t mean they can’t bang out a hell of a Christmas tune. I’m talking, of course, about YYYs latest “All I Want For Chritmas” song, just recently released down at the band’s myspace….
Christmas is a commin’, folks. Flashing lights, people gathering around singing carols, pompeous chrismas trees, bla, bla. You can feel all of that Chrismass cheer floating in the air … and in your whallets, of course. Capitalistic remarks aren’t my thing, though – music is. Just recently the madly ecstatic Danish duo, The Raveonettes, just released a new Christmas special EP, called “Wishing You A Rave Christmas.” Quite an interesting choive of words, if I…
Little Joy’s latest self titled debut made quite the buzz in the indie rock scene, upon it’s recent release, gaining quite a lot of positive buzz. Maybe that’s, also, partly because it’s Fabrizio Morreti’s side project, and the swarms that make up The Strokes fan base floked to listen to it. An awesome, feel good album, nonetheless. The lead single, “No One’s Better Sake,” makes up for a great party starter – too bad summer’s…
Hot Chip + Fake Blood = Awesomeness! Lately, I’ve really began to get into Fake Blood’s brilliant remixes, mostly because I love the way he takes other people’s music, mashes up, adds a bit of ‘fake blood’ and cinnamon and makes it his own. His latest remix is that of “Touch Too Much,” originally played by Hot Chip, off Made in The Dark. Check it out the mp3 bellow, as well as Fake Blood’s other…
I just stumbled upon a really, really sweet remix of Vampire Weekend’s “The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance,” by one of my favorite DJ duo, Chromeo. I just really love how the two managed to transform the track into a up-beat, ’80s-like disco anthem. Something to light up your day. [display_podcast]
