You could win a copy of Morrissey's new CD Years of Refusal at Muruch ! I'm sorry I told you, because I really want to win it myself. Still reeling from that bout of the flu? The photo of Iggy Pop at To Die By Your Side will make you feel better, and Iggy's covers of "Louie Louie" and "Pablo Picasso" will do even more. Harry at Tha Bomb Shelter says Doves are [...]
Variety, well it can be quite a good thing. No? Well you're pretty screwed if you don't think so with this long-awaited/long ignored feature that we occasionally do. Because it's variety all the way this time.... enjoy! Charlie Ash are an "Indie Synth Pop" band from New Zealand, maybe they sent us this by mistake or something. Because they are obviously a proper band who are well produced and everything. The track "Come Back Lover" is a catchy piece of music, nice guitars, nice synths it could be something Xenomania are behind... but we don't [...]
Redemption. Paranoia. Guilt. And brief glimpses of a better tomorrow, all cloaked in pop hooks that truly help the medicine go down. What is this? Another lost LP from Brian Wilson's sandbox phase? If only things were that simple. What we're really alluding to here is Passion Pit's first proper full-length, Manners , a bird-flipping break from the blogosphere by a 21 year old with much more on his manic mind than girls, girls, girls. You know, important matters, like the end of the world and learning to love someone other than the man in the mirror. [...]
Emil & Friends have been blowing my mind for like ever, and now they bring out another reason to swoon all over them. I really really like this. Wonderful and whimsical, as you'd expect. Passion Pit better watch their backs. LINKS UPDATED Passion Pit - Sleepyhead (Emil & Friends Reworking) [ YS ] MYSPACE

Sorry, US readers...you're not eligible for this one. [...]
I know I once again flaked on posting, but I've had a cold for the past couple of weeks that just doesn't know when to leave. Kind of like the creepy, wasted guy at the afterparty who can't seem to catch a hint. I'm feeling quite well today, so I took advantage of the better health and spent pretty much this entire day catching up on email and snail mail submissions. And to make up for my delay, today's post is going to be a massive one. I hate to say that I won't be able to give [...]
First Passion Pit, now Emil & Friends - is Boston on it's way to becoming the new Montreal? Who knew there was psychedelic dance rock this solid coming out of- you'll forgive me- fucking Allston? Shouldn't you guys be shoplifting Slim Jims from Marty's Liquors and peeing in the street instead of cranking out Prince- caliber white boy funk? And how much are you paying for rent?

Ben over at Sweet Touch just sent me over the revised take of Emil & Friends ' Electric Feel, and yes, it's even more terrific. Stretched out and funked up just a touch more, I'm starting to believe that these kids can do no wrong. I'd point you in the direction of my previous post but Blogger removed it, thanks a bunch guys.

A few weeks back we posted a funky jam from Emil & Friends . I really dig their sound and couldn't resist posting this remix of "Tigerstripe," a track off of their upcoming spring album release. Emil set this track on fire by adding a dirty dirty synth line. Justice anyone? Emil & Friends - Tigerstripe (Remix) | zShare
Even though I've been following them for a while now, of course Waves At Night beat me to an Emil And Friends post. These guys are crazy good and I can't stop listening to their Downed Economy EP. Watching them very closely this year. Emil And Friends - Downed Economy Emil And Friends - Electric Feel (MGMT Cover) MYSPACE

If you're looking for party music for tonight, I have some great tunes here. I'm not always swooning over gentle, folky stuff like Shearwater, Fleet Foxes, and Liz Durrett. I also like remixes, electronica, and dance rhythms. Solid Gold, from my Top 10 CDs of 2008 , is a giant clue. Gang Gang Dance's "House Jam" remix is a favorite song of the year, as is Telefon Tel Aviv's "Helen of Troy" and Crystal Castles' "Crimewave." The Dreamtrack remix is my favorite of the Nude covers, and "Specialty Sandwiches" by Emil and Friends [...]

Dear Emile Hirsch, Sorry, I was never the biggest fan of your movies. The Girl Next Door was kinda ok mainly because of Elisha Cuthbert being all hot and sweaty and sexy etc. Actually Speed Racer was pretty fun as well. But the music youve been putting out recently under the guise of ' Emil And Friends ' is some awesome, electronic-indie-pop that Ive quite fallen for. Please bring out some more because I wore out these tunes out in the first week, like the fizzy-headrush that was Empire Of The Sun before I accidently burnt out [...]
Changing pace from our usual techno/trance/house track, we're throwing you some disco-funk heat from Emil & Friends . This jam rocks four tight features we dig: a sizzlin' bass line, lush vocals, dripping guitar licks, and boogeiful disco drums. It's locked on repeat as I write this, and we expect you to do the same. With a title of "Downed Economy" it's only right that we give it away for free, courtesy of Sweet Touch Records . So crank this track, get out of your chair, and enjoy [...]
Ok, so this is gonna sound a bit strange at first but stick with us, we're just as skeptical as you. Earlier today, we at CoS received an email "tipping us off" about the "hot new project of international film star Emile Hirsch." Already things seemed a bit fishy. The name of this "project"? Emil & Friends. The email proceeded to provide a link to the group's MySpace and a link leading to the film star lead group's debut EP, Downed Economy . At this point it is safe to say we are dealing with [...]
1. Mae - This Time Is the Last Time - In honor of the 5-year anniversary of Mae's first record (one of the albums that changed my life), they just put out a choose-your-own-adventure-styl e DVD packed full of song-by-song commentary. It occasionally edges on self-serving, but the majority is a fascinating look on how the songs were written and recorded and a few charming vignettes on how the band came to be. It's a must have if you're a fan. [from Destination:Beautiful | buy | buy DVD ] [...]
(talking about Emile Hirsch) youve seen him in into the wild . you probably wish you didnt see him in speed racer . now guess what?? you can see him in **electro-band** Emil & Friends . although the word on the street is that emile hirsch had a rich musical education from The Hamilton Academy of Music, my hirsch/music skepticism level was blowing f&*king gauges (thanks to mr crowe and ms johansson ). Emil & Friends - Downed Economy i must admit [...]
