LCD Soundsystem’s cover of Franz Ferdinand’s track “Live Alone” is now accompanied by a brilliant video.

TweetShare Sam Ueda’s synth pop brainchild Felix And Volcano! returns more than a year after releasing their fantastic first “Grow Rich EP”. The first single “Got Luv Fer Now” is what Ueda says is the beginning of more music, with Ms. Sydney M. Bilodeau rejoining the band and the possibility of a longer length release (cross [...]

TweetShare Hot damn, I am getting ever more convinced by Lightouts. Their latest effort, “The Eloise Suite”, started life titled “Dit-Dat”. Why the change of name? Well, that would be thanks to Charlie Sheen’s epic disintegration in the similarly-named suite at The Plaza, NY. There’s only one word for that. Don’t make me say it. [...]

TweetShare Growing up in the 80′s I had a steady stream of electro synth pop bands more than happy to release tracks for me to attempt the robot dance to. Greats like OMD, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan and Ultravox, to name but a few, introduced a whole generation to electronic music played via keyboards and drum [...]

TweetShare It was at about this time of night back in January that I got an email that contained the first two songs from fellow peeps from PA Edelweiss, a young teenage band doing what U2 and Foals could only dream of at the age of 17 and under. The four-piece from up the road [...]

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 Yes you! I posted about Edelweiss one late, cold, night back in January and their two-track single was blowing me away.  Well now they’re trying to get their debut EP done and dusted but have hit a bit of a problem.  Because the dudes are so fucking young, between 14 and 17, it’s difficult [...]

TweetShare In a recent interview, James Murphy, the mastermind behind LCD Soundsystem was asked what band he expected to fill the gap left by LCD Soundsystem’s retirement this weekend at MSG.  His response: Erik Estrada’s Career Crisis. That’s right, the kids are mining second-rate, late-70s TV shows for their band names now. Regardless, the real [...]

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 Absolutely enamored with this song, guys. “Lighthouse” is the new one from NewVillager. I have been out of the loop, apparently, as I heard this song and immediately started searching for more. The internet is afire in praise for NewVillager. This is a delightful duo comprised of Ben Bromley and Ross Simonini (the two [...]

TweetShare Photo by Tobias Hibbs This is still kinda blowing me away, but let me first off dispel any thoughts you might be having of yodeling from the Swiss alps or lists of some of my favourite things. I was just heading to bed (it’s 3:29am on a Monday morning) and I checked out the [...]

TweetShare When you open your EP with a downright party rock ‘n’ roll song, the likes of which haven’t been seen since The D4, and then mosey on into an MGMT-esque electronic, part slow-jam, part Christmas tune, then before the third song even starts you’re gonna leave your listeners wondering what the fuck to expect [...]

TweetShare I can tell you how much fun it is to tell people how much you’re loving the new Shit Robot, but I think you’ve either already been saying it or you’re going to be shouting it from the rooftops in the very near future. Ahh yes, Shit Robot; otherwise known to his mother as [...]
