Now that 2010 is being neatly compartmentalized into lists (speaking of, check ours out here), there is no harm in looking forward to 2011. And there is already hope that 2011 will be as musically fulfilling as the current year, particularly in terms of ‘new’ artists like Young Galaxy. Okay, Young Galaxy is not exactly [...]

If ever there were a time I wish I was NOT in LA, it would be now. Good ol’ London gets to party with the likes of Classixx, The Twelves, Rory Phillips, and Teeth… at the Kitsune Maison Village Underground party. I’m especially jealous of  those of you who get to see the headliners, Jamaica [...]

QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like, out into the wide web world (or dubya dots). Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later.  If it’s still as [...]

Atlanta, Georgian’s Sonen are a three-piece comprised of Keith Evans, Holly Mullinax, Josh Guss. Akin to Handsome Furs meets LCD Soundsystem meets Queens Of The Stone Age, their latest EP is an eight-song strong belter, running through sullen vocals and atmospheric synths, to murky basslines and three-dimensional beats that’ll get you dancing and taking shit easy from [...]

Who the fuck knew that fun could be so much fun? No seriously, who knew that? Apparently Felix and Volcano! did and it’s instantly evident within the first few bars of their song “Shaadows”, a slow, deliberate, dance groove.  They have a bunch of songs, some you can buy and some you can get for [...]

If you’re unaware of what Music Monday is, it’s a Twitter recommendation system where users of Twitter share their favourite music, artists, genres, etc in order to not only find new music themselves but help others find new music too.  Using the hashtag (#) followed by “MusicMonday” you can easily find new music posted by [...]

Last October LCD Soundsystem released “Bye Bye Bayou” on vinyl, an almost 8 minute cover of Alan Vega’s 1981 song, and now, seven months later they’ve gone and done a video for it.  It’s pretty trippy, so before you drop that acid tab, watch this.  Then drop it, and watch it again. Their supposedly last [...]

Today’s review is a guest post by our good friend Stephen over at The Crosshair.  Check them out for some really great reviews of music, film, games and TV. In 2001, James Murphy sang “I hear you have a compilation tape of every great song by every great group ever” on the reputation-cementing “Losing My [...]

Last week after their album leaked online they decided to put the whole thing up online for people to listen to and now they’ve released the video for “Drunk Girls” which can only be described as absolutely fucking awesome, featuring a shit-tonne of Insane Clown Posse wannabes (these ones have more talent) tormenting the band. [...]

LCD Soundsystem’s latest (and quite possibly greatest) album “This Is Happening” is streaming in its entirety on their website.  The album leaked a few days ago and it’s spectacular, you should not only give it a listen, but give it 7 listens, and then go buy it. Or buy it, and then just keep listening [...]
