Divine Fits Mix As mentioned last week , the unthinkable happened when Britt Daniel and Dan Boeckner (along with Sam Brown) announced that they'd been making music together under the moniker Divine Fits . They apparently have a record slated to drop this year (via Merge), and as of yet, there's no word as to what they sound like. I'm guessing something totally different than Spoon, and possibly more like Atlas Strategic? I really have no idea. Nevertheless, I've put together some of my [...]
Today's track is another gem from the Montreal indie/electronic-rock husband/wife duo of Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry , otherwise known as Handsome Furs . Radio Kaliningrad can be found as the closing track to the band's sophomore full-length album Face Control , released via Sub Pop Records in March of 2009. Music fans will likely recognize Dan Boeckner as one-half of the two-headed monster known as Wolf Parade , or digging even deeper, as the front man of the now defunct British Columbia indie-rock act Atlas Strategic .

Dan Boeckner, who has crafted some of my favorite songs of the last few years with both Handsome Furs and Wolf Parade, may have outdone himself with his latest release.

The [...]

Dan Boeckner probably doesn't like you. His eyes see right through all the superficial bullshit piling up around your heart, and it makes him nauseous. He hates hype, press and this article. Since 2006 is the year of Spencer Krug, I thought it was a good time to start talking about Boeckner. The fierce, punk energy that Dan first showcased in Atlas Strategic, has become the perfect
Swoon , one of my favorite blogs this year so far, has Hot Chip remixing Adem . Funtime OK takes on Wolf Parade 's live show. I Love Good Weather For Airstrikes . Their Snow Patrol/Guillemots/Bloc Party coverage makes me jump with joy. Jeered By Minor Demons - Atlas Strategic The Raven - Black Dice If It [...]
