Really great bit of peaceful progressive house here. The world seems to be full of incredibly talented young people, and CMA is one of them. At just seventeen he is alreadyproducingincredible tracks like this.

Aaaah! I'm back after a nice relaxing vacation and ready to get on the horse that isgiggingagain! I've just moved to Berlin, Germany, and will betouring in Europe for a while now. (Don't worry, I'll be back in the US before you know it) I've got two shows in Berlin in June and would love to see all my fellow Berliners there! The first one is at St. Gaudy Caf on June 6th and the second one is at Playing With Eels on June 21st.

It was an exciting time when we realised 'Darwin Deez and Friends' wasn't Darwin Deez and some of his friends, but the band Friends. Returning to our shores this spring, Samantha Urbani and co. will be performing material from their 2012 debut 'Manifest!', supporting Darwin Deez at McClusky's in Kingston for a very special DIY Presents and New Slang date. The two acts will be playing the venue on 18th July, from 9pm 'til 2pm, with tickets just 7 each.

After parting ways with BTW FRIENDS , that outfit's erstwhile bassist Matthew Molnar went back to roots and rekindled an older musical relationship with a couple of high school buddies who last collaborated in an adolescent hardcore punk band. The result of this new long-distance project is Pagan Rituals, something of a return to these dudes' youth of yesterday: aggressive in sound and lyrically ominous, with distortion-smeared guitars and goth lurking in the bass. "Hallowed Ground" is the outfit's first single, taken from the first of a proposed series of 73 EPs. Hear it below, not necessarily recommended if [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-24T23:02:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4913664/an-epic-week-at-285-kent-featuring-delorean-friends-doldrums/
An Epic Week at 285 Kent featuring Delorean, Friends, Doldrums, Lasers & Special Guests! Although I just caught Delorean live at SXSW a few weeks ago , I had to catch them playing the NYC area at my favorite venue on April 11th! For this particular show they upped the ante by bringing along a dazzling laser machine with them onstage, so good thing I did. A few days later I returned to 285 Kent for another great line-up. First up was theSamantha Urbani-fronted Friends debuting a new line-up (Friends 2.0) and [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-24T14:02:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4912312/avenue-friends-video/

I have always thought of Keep the Coffee Coming as a community, a family. We get to chat with each other, share memories and have a laugh or two sometimes at our own expenses. One of my favorite Coffee experiences is learning about the world from all of you and about your childhoods and your holidays and traditions. Some family members have been with me for years, and I cherish them but I also cherish the newest members of the family. I think of Coffee as a place devoid of criticism or controversy, a place where we can all feel [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-10T01:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4882341/mp3-ryan-hemsworth-diplo-and-friends-mix/

Record Store Day is here folks. It doesn't matter if you've got your eye on something new or a swanky re-release, the most important thing is to just get out and support the stores any way you can. Cool? Cool. Bristol label/musical hub of goodness, Fear Of Fiction , are again putting something out for RSD. This year it's a six-track, screen-printed, limited edition CD and we've got a premiere of the teaser video below. It's called Family & Friends and this is what they have to say about it; [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-03T15:47:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4868449/charli-xcx-what-i-like-video/

A few days ago my mom asked me whether or not I had seen the season finale of Downton Abbey. I hadn't and so the next sentence out of her mouth....wasn't words. I take that back. There might have been an "oh my" somewhere in that sentence of oh...............wow.......... ......oh.............my....... ...ah...oh.. So yesterday I caught up with Downton Abbey. I was two episodes shy from the end of the show. I don't consider Downton much more than a historical soap, but the show is fun and it's amazing to see how it's become a [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-21T14:42:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4792754/bbc-6-music-blog-awards-band-most-likely-to-form/

The soul-influenced UK band Secret Son hit b3 square in its rock and roll sweet spot with "Friends". The genre "UK guitar music" is in a bit of a hype cycle nadir as of Feb 2013 with great upstart English bands like Secret Son all too uncommon. Secret Son's "Friends" EP is due March 25th.

That bit belatedly, we set sail for the South Coast and Brighton's estimable The Great Escape for a first time just last year , where the primary intention was to get to grips with the live shows of the likes of Grimes, Perfume Genius , Loney, Dear and so forth artists who had otherwise eluded our attentions in that all-important live regard. Frequently equated to a reliably windswept British alternative to SXSW, I was unsure of what to expect of the festival. Queueing of course, although otherwise I was left in the dark as I [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-08T18:55:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4768432/secret-mountains-high-horse/
