The Bamboo Orchestra is back after the long break, and what a better time to come back than the Halloween night, with a new Midnight Mix? This is part 2 of my annual Halloween mix, (you can view part 1 here). The overall mood is: dark, sinister and mystical. Various tones throughout the mix, ranging from German IDM to horror movie score. Most of the five tracks are wordless, with the exception of the closer, a haunting classic from Cibo Matto. For a setting, think of an empty, winding road. Dark clouds rolling above. The clapping [...]

The Sound of Indie is two years old today. Pretty amazing that something that was started as pastime years ago has lasted this long. Even though no one ever comments on the posts, and readership has stayed pretty much the same for the past year, it's still interesting enough to keep it going. The reason why is when people do stumble across the site, they are amazed at the stuff that's been posted. There have been quite a few e-mails claiming The Sound Of Indie as the best music blog out there. Who are we to disagree? So here's a [...]
"The Japanese pop phenomenon known as Shibuya-Kei exploded forth from the ultra-trendy Shibuya shopping district of west Tokyo, an area home to some of the most fashionable and best-stocked record and clothing stores in the world. Shibuya-kei -- literally, "Shibuya style" -- was the name given to the like-minded pop musicians who emerged from this consumer culture, a group of young Japanese weaned on a steady and amazingly eclectic diet of Western pop exports; the result was an unprecedented collision of sights and sounds, with trailblazing acts." (allmusic.com) So here's "Bossa-Shibuya-kei-A la Française": (or [...]
Friend Kevin Church celebrates his thirty-third birthday today. I'm not exaggerating for the sake of praise when I say that BeaucoupKevin.com was a major source of inspiration behind my creating Armagideon Time. As someone who specializes in convienience and complacency, I find myself dumbfounded by the attention to detail and drive toward aesthetic excellence that Kevin puts into his site. The written content ain't bad, either. Kevin also collaborates with the also-awesome Benjamin Birdie on The Rack , a mighty fine webcomic, updated multiple times weekly, and [...]

Nirvana is one of those bands who only certain people can cover well, but that doesn't stop many of them from trying. I'd venture to say that they are the most covered 90's era band. Although I don't have the data to back that up, I do have some examples. Which one is your favorite? Talk to me or I stop posting. (not really) 1 Animal Collective - Polly (Nirvana cover) 2 Cibo Matto - About A Girl (Nirvana cover) 3 Rogue Wave - On [...]
When I was in high school, I loved covers , specially Punk covers. Everyone makes posts about covers and rightfully so, they are awesome. This week I asked bunches of people to tell me what their favorite cover songs are. I got a lot of interesting feedback. Now just because it is a cover doesn't mean it is great, infact lots of covers suck! Hopefully you won't hear those here. I know there are lots of awesome ones and I'm sure you are gunna email me asking [...]

I'm on vacation this week, so I've decided to do a week of theme mixes in celebration. In honor of the fact that I DON'T have to work this week, today's mix is about people who probably do. I know I probably should save this mix for Labor Day, but, oh well. I'm sure you kids have all kinds of songs about jobs, so post 'em in the comments if you feel like it. And have fun at work! Her Space Holiday - The Doctor and the DJ [...]
