Star Slinger takes Drake and The Weeknd’s “Crew Love” and gets it ready for the club.

Check out the official remix of Darq E Freaker and Danny Brown’s “Blueberry” by Star Slinger.

This band, having been releasing stuff for the last five-plus years, still haven’t released a God-damn album yet. Two EPs and a single or two and that’s it. That’s the epitome of a musical cock-tease, if you ask me, but fuck it, I’ll take whatever Air France want to give us and by the looks [...]

Washed Out‘s new album has been receiving praise almost across the board, including from us where Austin described it as sounding “like a guy who just drank his entire codeine syrup prescription all at once, singing and playing a synth through a delay pedal over a drum machine, all while spelunking in a magnificent cave”. [...]

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 Gmail [...]

All of the songs listed below were personally chosen by the artist or blogger above. I got in touch with a lot of artists and bloggers who were all kind enough to get back to me and take part in Desert Island Discs. If you’re unaware of the concept behind Desert Island Discs, check out the basic [...]

By now you may know just how much I frickin’ love How To Dress Well….I’ll pretty much gush over anything the guy touches (apart from cockroaches), and you may also know just how much we here at the LBYB headquarters also love Star Slinger, so when the pair combine on one track you shouldn’t have [...]

You know Panda Bear, the dude from Animal Collective?  Well he’s releasing his first album in four years next week and last night NPR upped a stream of the entire album. I was fairly excited for it, his previous album “Person Pitch” is one of my all-time favourite albums, but after listening to it once [...]

Now before you start giving me shit for posting Britney Spears, I DON’T CARE! Actually I do, but I’m not posting Britney I’m posting The Morning Benders. Just like when ceo did a cover of “Halo” by Beyonce or Frightened Rabbit did “Hit Me Baby One More Time”, remixes are in the same vein.  I [...]

This song could suck donkey balls and I’d still post it.  Why?  Because it’s for a good cause, dammit, that’s why! It was actually released a few days ago as part of an EP The Morning Benders have released where they’re donating all of the profits to help out the relief effort in Japan after [...]

Let’s play a word association game.  When I say James Vincent McMorrow what’s the first thing that pops into your head? Well, if your answer was “R’n’B Thug,” then clearly you and Star Slinger are on the same wavelength.  If you haven’t noticed, LBYB has a bit of a blog-crush on Star Slinger, and who [...]

When gorgeous visuals combine with equally as beautiful music, you know you’re gonna get some downright sexy little babies from it. Alan Jensen has done some incredible (official and unofficial) videos for the likes of Blackbird Blackbird, Toro Y Moi, Washed Out, and Neon Indian, and now he’s gone and done the same for Star Slinger’s Soul-Hop anthem “Mornin” [...]
