I just came across this wonderful gem today, and I thought you guys might enjoy it as much as I have. For some reason the B-side to Spoon’s 2001 released “Anything You Want”, the Yo La Tengo cover “Decora”, escaped me, but let me tell you I’m more than psyched I finally got round to listen sample it. Two top bands of the decade, one covering the other – always a treat! Props to chromewaves…
The year of 2009 will remain one to remember for Phoenix and their fans, one that finally marked the band’s transcendence to worldwide success. Seeing how it was such a kind year for the French band, Phoenix have decided to give away a live album recorded during one of their performances in Sydnay from last month. Live In Sydney can be downloaded here.
“My Propeller”, the 3rd single off Arctic Monkeys’ latest album, the 2009 released “Humbug”, will get released next Tuesday. Until then though, I came across the B-side for the single, a brand new AM song titled “The Afternoon’s Hat”. I really like the somewhat nouvelle direction the band have taken with their new album, embracing a more confident and mature sound. Thank you very much, Josh Homme!

After two incredible albums, “Strawberry Jam” and “Merriweather Post Pavilion”, a lot of touring in between and beyond, and even the full length motion picture ODDSAC released at the beginning of this year, it seems Animal Collective has begun to show signs of growing weary. “There was just so much touring for us,” Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox) told BBC 6 Music. “We’re not really road dogs. We were really happy with the record, so…
Beach House dropped by La Blogoteque’s latest live sessions outlet, the relatively newly added “Les Soirées de Poche,” where the band played the first five songs off their latest stellar album, “Teen Dream.” The elegantly performed set can be viewed bellow. You can shuffle through the songs by clicking the white dots in the player. Enjoy!
Following The National’s previous two instant classics, “Alligator” and “Boxer”, the Cincinnati five piece will release their fifth studio full length titled “High Violet” on May 10th via 4AD. I know a lot of you are very curious, and anxious alike, to have listen to the new material, so I managed to find this great performance of High Violet’s opening track “Terrible Love” played by The National live just a few days ago on Late…
Seems like the whole iamamiwhowherehowthefuckami mystery has been unraveled once and for all, and the artist behind it all is quite the unlikely candidate, considering the whole blogosphere didn’t even mention her during the whole thorough teaser dissection process. The latest video proves it all, if you happen to have a pair of sharp eyes, revealing without a doubt once and for all that Swedish artist Jonna Lee and her band are responsible for the…
A world of polygons, gradients and other pointy stuff is all that is present in White Hinterland’s latest video for her latest single “Amsterdam” – that doesn’t mean that all is as it seems, though. I’ve really just recently come across Casey Dienel’s (aka White Hinterland) work, but I can say I’m well already within her tight musical grasp. Who couldn’t love a voice like that? White Hinterland’s sophomore release “Kairos” is out now via…
Guinevere van Seenus stars in Aanteni, a high-fashion techno-thriller from CFDA award-winning design sisters Rodarte, shot by their friend and frequent collaborator, the photographer and video artist Todd Cole. Set in the deserted grounds of Paypal founder Elon Musk’s Space X jet lab in Hawthorne, California, the film was inspired by the pioneering spirit of the space race, which, according to Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy, “has defined generations of artists in their desire to use new…
The Glen Rock, New Jersey five piece of Titus Andronicus have made a name for themselves across the years for delivering indie rock with an actual attitude. The band’s debut record, titled “The Airing of Grievances”, was released in 2008 and was immediately met with highly positive reviews. It was loud, heavily distorted in sound, very intelligently written and most of all fun as hell! In only a few weeks Titus Andronicus are set to…
