June ushers in summer, which is what this mix is all about. The first half of these songs are new bands trying to sound like old 70's R&B bands (think double-dutch and kids playing in the gushing water rom a fire hydrant) the second half is new bands trying to sound like 70's disco bands (think a modern version of music you would hear in your local skating rink/disco-teque). And together,to me anyways, it oozes summer. Something to help your Kool-Aid go down a bit smoother. Download [...]

It's been about 45 days since I started this blog, and I've learned an unsurmountable amount of skills and information embodied in the the fact that knowledge is gained through experience. I've dabbled in just about every type of blogging production; citizen journalism (when I showed up to a DJ set and was the only person in the room, busy taking gratuitously framed pictures of the performers), commentary (which I'm displaying now), self-produced materials (my Rawdio Show and the post shown below), features [...]

Milwaukee, WI For those of you wanting to dance... "Here Come Cowboys" Codebreaker on MySpace Codebreaker on The Hype Machine

Ah, shit. The new Codebreaker album has been sitting here on my desk for way, way too long. We posted a sneak back in July Oh Six , but somehow the album has slipped by us. No excuses. Anyway. I don't pay album art much attention since my listening habits are a hundred percent digital these days, but... the cover of Codebreaker's Exiled makes me think of the Man of La Mancha... couple that with their weird 50's future vibe of the last album and the title Exiled and [...]
I am going thru the mass of emails that has accumulated in my inbox over the last few weeks, and have linked up a dozen selected mp3's that have caught my ear. I hope you also enjoy them.

Petite sélection de chansons reçues ces derniers temps, qui se détachent un peu du lot impressionnant de groupes qui atterrissent dans ma boite mail depuis l’ouverture de ce blog (j’ose à peine imaginer ce que ce serait si j’avais un myspace). Saturna ont de chouettes lunettes de soleil et font du rock indé plutôt pas mal et se réclament de gens comme Dandy Warhols, Jesus and Mary Chain ou Doves. Codebreaker , le groupe le plus cool de Milwaukee, avait déjà eu les honneurs de cette page [...]

Remember how excited some of you got over Codebreaker with their What Is This Earth Love ? Well, Codebreaker is back with a new track off of their new ep which is due out this Fall. "Here Comes The Night Time" follows the sound of their previous work: early 80's electro fused with some tight pop music. But get ready this time because they introduce some crazy 80's dance rap that you haven't heard since like Afrika Bamabaataa or Debbie Harry. Codebreaker - "Here Comes The Night Time" [...]
