I’ve misplaced my leg-warmers. Normally this wouln’t really bother me – quite the opposite – but I feel naked listening to Big Black Delta without them. The solo side-project of Los Angeles-based Mellowdrone’s founding member, Jonathan Bates; BBD knocks out dark, retro electronica that suggests more rock bassists ought to take time off from their day-jobs. [...]

If there’s one thing I learned from Scooby-Doo, it’s that we all like a little bit of mystery in our lives. Realistically, I probably didn’t learn anything from Scooby-Doo, but that’s all water under the bridge. Pinemarten could certainly qualify as a worthy villain for the gang to face. Hidden identity? Check. A devious plan to take [...]

Still recovering from the life-shattering earthquake that struck back in March, the Japanese have shown a resilience and sense of community that we in the rest of the world could learn a thing or two from. Actually, make that a thing or six. A multitude of artists, composers, celebrities, TV and film personalities,  and even [...]

Around for years and only fleetingly hearing their name being passed around, I’ve only gone and done to Mother Mother what I did with Starfucker. Atrocities aside, Zach from WLFY has been pimping this album for a few weeks now and when Exclaim.ca were running it as album of the week I finally allowed myself to [...]

It kinda seems like Jamie Woon is becoming my next Starfucker or James Blake, what with my constant posts about him lately. I’ll be surprised if that’s how it goes but if the dude continues to churn out good material I’ll be sure to post it.   Jamie’s latest single “Lady Luck”  was just recently remixed by [...]

Are you getting tired of me talking about Starfucker yet? Hopefully not, but if you are just ignore this post along with the 398 others that are coming this week.  Hey, I don’t control when stellar music gets released, I just steal it and post it for you to hear, so blame the artists for [...]

As I said last night, Starfucker are my new favourite band, and you can probably tell that by the fact that this is the second post about them in less than 24 hours. Now the closing song on their second album “Reptilians” gets the visual treatment, involving The Host and Partyfucker, who doesn’t actually fuck [...]

So my new favourite band Starfucker are releasing a mashup album on top of releasing their excellent second album “Reptilians” in March, and wouldn’t you know it, it just so happens (so far….based on one track) to be fucking awesome. Below you can hear the first song from the album which didn’t really have a [...]

Her name is Yoshimi! I couldn’t stop singing that as the intro to Starfucker‘s newest-and-positively-fucking-awesome album “Reptilians” starts.  The comparisons between the two songs are inescapable, but with that aside, this is an album of the year and we’re only in February.  As I’ve previously stated I never really gave the band a chance and [...]

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 [...]

You may remember a couple of weeks back I issued a public apology to Starfucker in light of me not fully appreciating their awesomeness, and I hope I’ve paid my dues on that (let me know guys). Today the guys over at Into The Woods have upped a video of the band playing “Mystery Cloud” [...]

Dear Starfucker;  Your first album eluded me.  I had you, but I let you go without really giving you a chance to explain yourself, and for this I apologise. Apologies are also in order for not having much hope for, and approaching with trepidation, your new album “Reptilians”, based on my short-lived adventure (it was [...]
