Washed Out - Amor Fati I was thinking today what my favorite album so far this year was. The next thing I thought of was "what makes an album great". One of the many things that have always disturbed me about the Grammys was the idea of awarding someone "best album" based on a single song. So what is a great album? It must be fluid and consistant. I had been anticipating Washed Out's album all year, and when it dropped, it exceded my expectations. The album was fantastic, cover-to-cover. So far it is one of my favorite [...]
Soggy Bottom Boys - Man of Constant Sorrow What's not to love about this song? Nothing - it's awesome.
Jean Jaques Perrey and Luke Vibert - Analog Generique I'm listening to an old old spotify playlist from when I lived in London and this track came on. I haven't listened to it in ages, but it is pure badass! I can't handle the groove. It's off of an album called Moog Acid - referring to the device all of the songs were created with: an old analog moog synth.
OCTOBER 20TH - OLD QUEENS HEAD - MECHANICAL BRIDE / BAHAMAS / THE DYING SECONDS - FREE!! -MECHANICAL BRIDE— Mechanical Bride is 25 year old songwriter and self-taught musician Lauren Doss, who made quiet but confident waves back in 2008 with her debut release, a collection of beautiful songs called 'Part II: EPs'. On her new album, 'Living With Ants', Mechanical Bride's debut album proper, is a defiant step up and sees her song writing blossom from the stark, black [...]
Wowee wow wow, only mere days before Modeselektor's Monkeytown takes over my sonic life. The album features Anti-Pop Consortium, Apparat, and the recurring touches of Thom Yorke. To bring your level of excitement to our levels, we've put together a little preview. Again, the duo continue to be all about collaborating. To delightfully complement their engaging warp sounds and samples of camera clicks preceding analog cell phone rings, Busdriver brings the fucking hilarity both with his flow and in his high-society mockery in "Pretentious Friends." Modeselektor feat. Busdriver "Pretentious Friends" (MONKEYTOWN) OUT [...]

Remember a couple of years back, when we saw that video of Machine Head's Robb Flynn rocking out at a Metallica concert while watching from the floor and not the VIP section or the side of the stage or wherever? Well, if the below footage of Dave Grohl doing likewise at a Soundgarden reunion show in Los [...]

I am so damn psyched on this tape. Slyy is Jake and Miles from Boston, Mass. Somehow, they aren't famous. I don't get it. These guys have quietly amassed a mountain of pristine, groovy, expertly produced and just fucking awesome beats over the years. They instantly sound classic. Not because you've heard them before, but because they sound like something you should have heard. MJ MJ is lucky enough to be putting out Slyy's first proper beat tape - SERIOUS SAUCE VOL 2! Oh, and Brian Vu (one of my [...]
For genre on iTunes, I put Awesome for this because after hearing it, you feel awesome or you think the song is awesome. Tyson's retro-futuristic sound is real catchy and I look forward to more from him. Download: Hulkshare / Mediafire Fight by TYSON Shout out to BoomD who played "Fight" for me last week.
Earlier this year, Baltimore's own Wye Oak released one of the best albums of the year with Civilian . It's now September, and it still seems people are sleeping on it. C'mon. Anyways, one of the best tracks off of the album entitled "Holy Holy" recently received the music video treatment. For however uplifting, or affirming, their music can be, the most alluring thing about Wye Oak's sound is the beautiful shades of melancholy that ebb and flow throughout. "Holy Holy" is one of the more upbeat songs on Civilian , and it's nice to see [...]

So the small bespoke label out of the UK by the name of Critical Heights is pretty much my obsession right about now. Critical Heights Label from what I read (and see on their Flickr ) specialise in fairly awesome packaging of their releases and their roster is quite eclectic as well. I have only had so little time to check them out but from what I hear there is a complete mash up of genres to discover from the indie punk of Incredible Weapons, the straight rock of Owen Tromans, soundscapes and left field computer tunes [...]

So French Records dropped one massive release on their label, and when i mean massive i mean fucking massive! This compilation called Summer Time Volume 1 consists of 37 (yes 37!) old and new tracks from So French Records back-catalogue and friends. This release features really damn good artists like Subdue, Ma5k, Butyreux, Kolt13, Revolte and many many more. Been listening to this release since day one and it has such a good variety! You have disco, electro, filthy beats and some dubstep. In my opinion this is a must for every electro-head out there! [...]

STOP EVERYTHING IN YOUR FUCKING LIFE BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY FUCKING SONG THAT MATTERS TODAY. David Guetta - "Titanium (feat. Sia)" So it's a fight you want? Well, as Jordin Sparks would likely say: YABETTAGOANDGETCHURAMMA . Powerhouse Aussie-born soulstress Sia comes guns blazing in "Titanium," the final track off of David Guetta 's forthcoming record Nothing But The Beat , which is due out on August 30 in the US. "Titanium" is a blend of many amazing elements-from the delicate [...]
"omfg!!!!! watching tune-yards on stage now. this is some of the GREATEST ish I've seen in a minute!!!!" ?estlove, The Roots Мэрил Гарбуш и её группа tUnE-yArDs принесли к телевизионному дебюту самую драйвовую вещь с альбома «W H O K I L L». Без сомнений, это лучшие пять минут недели, а, может, и всего августа. Если вы ещё не слушали, если вы не переслушивали в последнее время, если не уделяли должного внимания или ленились прочитать название до конца, у вас появился офигенный шанс наверстать упущенное. Одна из главных и, без сомнений, самобытных артисток 2011 года. Не [...]
