The Cannery Ballroom was all smiles at last week's Chromeo show. It was nice to see people unleash their party animal, and get down to the "lover's funk." You don't even have to think about having a good time with Chromeo. It just happens; effortlessly. They take every diesel piece of 80's pop culture, extracting the lame stuff, and then suave it out with the sexy sounds of funk. Funkateers and Chromettes respect the authenticity in Chromeo's throwback sound, and love the humor and the "opposites attract" chemistry that the [...]

Sometimes I find myself surfing from blog to blog, downloading random tracks that suit my fancy as I go so that what ends up resulting is an awful lot of music in my iTunes library that just kind of appeared. Today's Song of the Day falls into this category. Crafting traditional indie pop with an electronic edge is How I Became the Bomb , a band that has since abandoned their roots and headed in a more experimental direction. However, this number comes from their debut EP, Let's Go , which maintains their original sound. Another solid feel-good [...]

In an interview with Absolute Punk from earlier this year, Jon Burr, lead singer of How I Became the Bomb, talks about their admiration for Clay Aiken and ELO and how a so-called friend gave the band its name.. partially because of Burr's resemblance to Dr. Strangelove.

Land of Talk - "May You Never" ; For a second there I thought Liz Powell took more then a little away from her time singing with Broken Social Scene. If that opening piano bit had drifted a little further I would have really worried, but luckily the song explodes into the dreamy rock we've come to expect from Land of Talk. This is the first tune off a new EP which we're now pretty excited for. Grade : B Junk Culture - "West Coast" [...]

If you'll recall the short span of time during which genre melds were happening, where nouveau post-punk was transforming into full-out dancepunk, but BEFORE dancepunk throttled itself to a death and rebirth as electro, angular, jumpy, herky-jerky enthused lads and...
