TweetShare There are times when pure, unadultered, hard dance music is the only music you really want to listen to. When you find yourself in that mood, you’ll be pleased to know that Skrillex is the name that you need. Our lovely Leisha first talked about Skrillex here but we were given a timely reminder [...]

TweetShare One of the perks for writing for a music blog is discovering new music and being a part of its promotion.  My friends joke that I don’t know the difference between mainstream and indie.  When a band hits the blogs hard, I assume that they have thus become mainstream.  I’m apparently wrong.  According to [...]

TweetShare Just in time for late-night-anything, this landed on my lap in the wee small hours of this morning/last night/whenever 12 hours ago was. Scanning through some of the Twitter streams and RSS feeds I’d missed across the course of the day, my boy Riley over at The Leaving Scene had posted “Die 4 Me” [...]

TweetShare While I was going through LBYB’s SXSW list, I listened to the first few seconds of each track.  If you can get me at “hello,” then I’m yours.  All I needed to hear was that first bass drumbeat of Superhumanoids’ track “Persona”, and I knew I was going to like it.  Then in walked [...]

TweetShare As part of AV Club’s second cover series where artists pick a song from a list and cover it in a tiny circular room, Baths‘ Will Weisenfeld chose LCD Soundsystem’s “All My Friends” from LCD’s second album “Sound Of Silver”. Since he’s on tour with Houses it was only fitting that Dexter would sit [...]

TweetShare A couple of weeks ago I was asked if I’d be interested in a contest to give away a Funeral Party 7″ and a copy of their new EP, but I’d never heard of the band. So I gave them a listen and hot dayum, these guys can rock the fuck out!  I’ll probably [...]

TweetShare This post is a “QuickPick”.  QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in [...]

TweetShare As I’m listening to Radars To The Sky I keep trying to think of a good comparison, and just when I hit upon one I’m confronted with some synth, some sax, a different vocalist, even some glockenspiel. I’ll just leave any categorising to someone more up to the task. Basically this LA outfit just [...]

TweetShare If you’ve been reading the site for for any amount of time then you might’ve seen me mention The Delta Mirror on a few occasions, and on one of those occasions posting a few of their songs and a video.  Well that was back in April and their album “Machines That Listen” is still [...]

TweetShare Read a review of The Delta Mirror’s debut album “Machines That Listen” and ten times out of ten you’ll read about each of these nine songs taking place in nine different rooms of a hospital.  It’s true, they do, but it seems to be the focus of many-a-blog and the music escapes their insight.
