Hello everybody!!! It is good to be back!! Sorry about the mass hiatus but I was in South America for a couple of months and it has taken me a month to get my head back.

In addition to wearing their 80's affection on the sleeves of their red Thriller jackets, there's a section of "Amarillion" where Datarock shows off a few more songs they like. About 3 minutes into the track, behind the vocals, there are lines sung from Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died In Your Arms," David Bowie's "Changes," [...]
Fresh off last week's solo "mish," the evolution from Geek to Spy again moves quickly* this week for Chuck. For an episode that is still really meant to set up future episodes, there was a lot of fun to be had, and I keep thinking how much I enjoyed this episode, and yet it's the lesser of the first six we've seen in the show's third season. * The opening scene with flashback to the pilot, while initially a setup for Kristen Kreuk's entrance (to Datarock's "Amarillion" ), was a great illustration of just how [...]
THE 'BRISBANE, QLD' EDITION RIO LOBOTOMY ... ... is a collaboration between Charlie Murdoch (Charlie Why/Mitzi) and Adam Hunter ( WolfGang DJs / We're Wolf) from Brisbane, Australia. Their first project together is a re-working of the club classic 'Bostich' from Yello, as part of Beatport's 'Legends of Electronic Music' remix series. Inspired by the punk attitude to electronic music adopted by the likes of In Flagranti, Padded Cell & Optimo, as well as infomercials and quiz shows of decades past - expect to hear and see more from [...]

Vor allem Laut war ja 2008 das Debutalbum Music for an Accelerated Culture von Hadouken!. Kein Wunder, ist die Band doch nach einem Move aus dem Beat 'em up-Spiel Street Fighter benannt. Dieses Jahr wurde es dann etwas ruhiger um die Band aus Leeds. Zwar konnte man dem Leben der Band auf twitter folgen, und auch musikalisch war die Band nicht unaktiv. neben Produktions- und Remixarbeiten für andere Künstler und einer EP wurde im Sommer zusammen mit dem Drum'n'Bass-Star Noisia am kommenden Album For The Masses gearbeitet. Mit [...]
Hoy estamos con las versiones alternativas de vídeos y aquí hay uno hecho por los chicos de Datarock para la televisión de su país hace unos meses. La canción es "The Pretender" y pertenece a su nueva y muy aclamada segunda producción Red . El vídeo muestra a los miembros de la banda, y uno que otro colado, corriendo frente a la cámara con máscaras, libros, globos y guitarras, mientras una pantalla a sus espaldas muestra una grabación hecha en las calles para simular el camino recorrido. No es una súperproducción ni [...]

Datarock, 24/11/2009 - The Garage, London Since when do I like bands like Datarock ? Since never, but since Tuesday. Since my three Norwegian friends promised me a good time was to be had with Bergen's track-suited pop duo. And since vocalist Fredrik Saroea was carried through the Garage's wall to wall crowd, with his guitar in tow, on the shoulders of the Swedish supporting band. That's probably when it happened. [...]
(scrub to 2:10 for a heavenly "noodle") I'm sure you've seen this Holy Ghost! + VBS.tv "thing", so have I, but lately I've been watching it in unhealthy amounts (looks @sparkletone .) It seems that ever since I got hooked up with that Limited Edition HG! Vinyl from Green Sound Label , I've had all their tunes on repeat. Anyway, in case you haven't seen the video, it's basically a walk-through of Nick and Alex's home studios as well as some commentary on how they put a song together. Overall, [...]
