Lo ammetto, anche per me quando sento parlare di N.A.S.A. vengono subito in mente razzi spaziali e stazioni lunari. Però dietro lo stesso acronimo si nascondono anche Squek E. Clean e Zegon due dj e producer americani che dimostrano di avere non poco le idee in grande. Per il loro album intitolato " The Spirit Of Apollo ", che uscirà il prossimo febbraio su Anti Records , i due hanno deciso di fare un disco dove unire artisti proveniente dal nord e sud America (North America South America come il nome del progetto) di estrazione [...]

As much as I try to avoid Christmas, it's ever-looming. Even candy is celebrating.

With the Christmas season in full swing you might be wondering what to buy for that annoying music geek in your life that already has every record he or she could ever want. The key in successfully gifting this special class of human is, first of all, to stop trying to think of music you can buy them. They already own it or they're in the shop right now buying it. Luckily there are plenty of other things you can get them, since they spend all their money on records and generally don't have much left to spend on anything [...]

Just came across this collab of Lykke Li's with Kanye and Santogold and it's a pretty solid track - I'm not sure if it's really droppable in the club, but we'll find out soon enough. We've been watching Lykke Li for a while here at Salacious Sound, having run across an excellent remix of Lykke Li's Little Bit, by a local Toronto group some weeks ago now. I've included it here for your listening pleasure - the group is a duo called Autoerotique (formerly VND/LSM) and we are expecting to see big things from this very talented pair. [...]

Don't know much about this track yet, but thanks to Alan for the heads up. It's crazy to hear Lykke Li and Santogold on a Kanye West track. Kanye West ft. Lykke Li and Santogold PigeonsandPlanes

My 2008 Xmas mixes for my sister. The theme, in as much as there is one, is in the title, but really these are taster mixes, like always.
Only 20 more shopping days until Christmas, so we at DC-9 wanted to help you find some ultra-cool, deep indie CDs as stocking stuffers for the music elitist in your family.These titles are so goddamn ...

No, the products aren't real. But the empty boxes are. Wrap your otherwise forgettable gift in an Onion gift box, and watch as they struggle to feign enthusiasm for a smoke alarm that would probably kill them if it were real. Or take joy as their faces fall upon realizing there is no such thing as a hat-affixed pocket accessory, nor a personal debris removal system—just a crappy bric-a-brac inside you waited until the last moment to buy. Your GotchaBox pack ($29) includes one each of the [...]

Since the season to be jolly is coming around, shops are starting to get creative. I was looking for scarfs when I found this little box compiled by Start London for people too lazy to do it themselves. I think the watch is great too. Here's what it contains: "Add shots of purple to dark hued winter outfits with this Timex violet vintage watch, Peckham Rye silk striped tie and Pantherella dog-tooth socks. Each piece can be matched to any winter outfit to keep the receiver on trend this winter."
