A round up of what's been in my ears this week. A lot of good stuff as you can hear. Round ups are kind of a cop out, but I'm tired and still somehow feel like I'm recouping from SXSW. I'm glad the internet never get's tired, and that the amazing artists that keep making music like this, keep making it. Hope everyone has a great weekend. ______________________________ ___ xxyyxx - Love Isn't Made (feat. Steffaloo ) Britney-Baer-Spears [...]

Edmonton, Canada I started HAPPY TRENDY in the winter of 2010 as an outlet to expressing myself in a form more personal than what I was creating at that time. It's easy to fall into the trap of focusing on everything and everyone but yourself, and I guess this was my idea of circumventing that. It was really just an experiment, and it still is. I never have [...]
2012 baby...time to catch up on some of the stellar releases I failed to get to in 2011. The first of which is the super duper bedroom electronic pop gem of HAPPY TRENDY's Die Young EP.... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
Edmonton's Happy Trendy (Dylan Khotin-Foote) recently returned from a European journey alongside fellow Canadian Warren Hildebrand of Foxes In Fiction . They traveled from Portugal to Germany. A week ago, before their show in Leipzig Germany, Dylan preformed 'January 6' off his new album Die Young — check out an imitate clip from that night › Happy Trendy - January 6

On vous parlait de la qualité de l'EP du jeune HAPPY TRENDY il y a quelques semaines ICI ; nous vous conseillions alors une écoute attentive de ses morceaux qui en plus d'être de très bonne facture, s'avèrent presque thérapeutiques en ce début d'hiver. La douceur et la pureté qui se dégagent de chacun des 5 morceaux de ce Die Young - EP sont très agréables et un seul coup d'oeil à la sublime vidéo de Micah Von Hove (déjà auteur de vidéos rêveuses pour le compte [...]

We guess you've heard the news already, but here's a little reminder as the glory is getting close: Two of our favorite Canadian dream pop acts, Toronto's Warren Hildebrand aka Foxes In Fiction and Edmonton-based Dylan Khotin-Foote aka HAPPY TRENDY , are touring the continent just in time for some pre-Christmas coziness. This Friday, December 9, and Saturday, the 10th, the two outfits are gonna hit our hometowns Oslo and Berlin, respectively, and you'd be a fool not to show up, seriously. So get yourself into the right mood below and go here [...]
A la question relative à son futur proche, le Canadien Dylan Khotin-Foote, aka Happy Trendy , nous répondait en juin dernier : « Je suis en train d'écrire de nouvelles choses dans le but de sortir un album. Et je continuerai à donner des concerts à l'étranger. J'ai pu tourner à travers la Californie il y a quelques semaines et cela m'a donné l'envie de tourner davantage. » Notre homme tient parole puisqu'au moment même où sort son nouvel EP, Die Young , librement téléchargeable par là et bientôt disponible en cassette via [...]
From first introducing himself to the internet as Kumon Plaza (and generating plenty of buzz and love with his video game anthems) to now hitting up a European tour as his new and also much loved alter ego Happy Trendy , Dylan has had the kind of start to a music making career that most artists would kill for. Especially considering he is fresh out of high school. I remember when I was fresh out of high school. The only thing I did successfully was get drunk and mess up chances with girls. I'd like to think that [...]
Happy Trendy is only half of what it sounds like. The trendy half, to be specific. Lo-fi synths and bedroom pop is all the rage right now, and Happy Trendy (Dylan Khotin-Foote) does it well. But happy, it is not. Like most bedroom pop, it's got a lonely "I'm in my bedroom poking at my keyboard, and it's dreary outside" feel to it. Not to make fun, I like that feeling a lot, 'cause I'm usually like, "ya, me too." Also, the new EP has a cemetery on the cover and is called Die Young , so that's not [...]
It's time to listen to a bunch of the tracks I have not posted recently. These are just a few of the songs that would get their own individual posts here on GIMME TINNITUS if I only had the time. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix. Listen. Downloadables: Runaway (Kanye West cover) (mp3) by Parts & Labor Beluga (mp3) by Milk Music [d/l Live at WFMU on Brian Turner's Show on July 5, [...]
Oyé oyé populations venues de Lyon et d'ailleurs! L'heure des amateurs de musiques alternatives est enfin venue. Rares étaient pour l'instant les structures offrant l'opportunité de découvrir des concerts de qualité à un prix abordable. Même si le Sonic et le Grrrnd Zero (qui menace d'ailleurs de fermer boutique) gèrent plutôt bien l'affaire, on ne peut décemment pas dire non quand il s'agit d'avoir accès à plus de concerts sur la région lyonnaise. C'est dans une brèche sensiblement différente que Perspectives Irrationnelles a décidé de s'engouffrer. Ils ont ainsi choisi [...]
Ahead of his upcoming EU tour with Foxes In Fiction , synth-pop maestro HAPPY TRENDY has dropped a new cut (premiered via our friends at BIRP ) set to feature on next's week Die Young EP . January 6 is a glitchy lo-fi tune, seeing Dylan Khotin-Foote and Rachel Levy doubling up on vocal duties. Sonically, it brings about memories of Casiotone For The Painfully Alone , albeit bringing the sound into a more modern perspective. " Barely slept last night, half awake, [...]
It feels like it's been ages since we last heard of Canada's HAPPY TRENDY and his stripped-down synth pop, but fear not, our darling Dylan Khotin-Foote is back with a brand new ear-friendly gem for us all, due to next week on Orchid Tapes . In fact, BIRP premiered the first single off the Die Young EP today, and it does indeed seem to have captured the ears of, uh, the so-called blogosphere. Together with NFOP regular Foxes in Fiction , the two of them are to be seen on December 9th here in Oslo [...]
