I was at a concert recently when a friend asked me if the artist on stage had "made it." What is the bar an artist should reach or is there an initial plateau, monetary amount, fan base, record deal, tour schedule, self fulfillment or combination that counts for "making it" in this political and cutthroat profession? A young group of hip-hop artists that I used to help out a bit is at that moment...or maybe they surpassed it months and months ago...I'm not sure. Micheal Jarvis and Sam Jantz used their imagination, light-hearted nature, musical experimentations [...]
Ok, BLogger...I actually posted this same post yesterday and find now that it's gone. As if someone just deleted it. Again, one of my posts disappear and I have no clue why. Weird I tell you.... Anyway, here you go: Detektivbyrån - Om Du Möter Varg Of Montreal - For Our Elegant Caste Final Fantasy - Horsetail Feathers [...]

Meine Stossgebete wurden erhört. Seit dem Smash-Hit "Hey Ya" warte ich auf eine rockig angehauchte Version von Outkast. Eine Welt getrieben von fröhlichen Synthesizern. So wird die Musik von Iglu & Hartly aus Los Angeles bezeichnet. Ihre Biographie liest sich wie eine grosse, niemals endende Sause. Dennoch, Iglu & Hartly sind eine Party-Band, der man mal eine Chance geben darf. Party-Bands sind ja generell nicht so zu empfehlen, aber Iglu & Hartly erinnern an eine gewitzte Mischung aus MGMT und Outkast. Klar, dominiert auch hier die "Farbe" Neon und alle [...]

Every so often you come across something so dumb, so ridiculous, that you wonder if it's actually real, or if someone is playing a very big joke on you. Iglu & Hartly are one of those times. I first caught the video for their single "In This City" a few weeks ago, and watched it, dumbfounded, thinking "How on Earth did a bunch of San Fran jocks get their hands on an audience and a camera?" Of course, I also noticed my foot was tapping. Then, last week, I read [...]
Come tutti i venerdì, eccoci all'appuntamento con le uscite discografiche della settimana. Anche oggi arrivano sugli scaffali molti dischi e ce n'è un po' per tutti i gusti. Sicuramente il più atteso è il nuovo degli Oasis di cui possiamo vantare l'intervista esclusiva pubblicata ieri, contenente le nostre e le vostre domande! Molto fermento anche per l'EP di Antony & The Johnsons , la nuova raccoltona-bootleg di Bob Dylan , il live arricchito di qualche rarità dei Clash , le cover di James Taylor , i tanto discussi Jonas [...]
Check out the first single, Violent and Young , from Iglu & Hartly's debut album "And then Boom." The band, self described as new wave/pop/hip hop, is from California, but they're signed to UK record label Mercury Records, and they've been enjoying some success over in the UK. They've already released the second single from the album In the City , but we like Violent and Young better. It's a rock anthem, with some white-dude-rapping. It's nice. PS. The cover art to their album is fantastic! [...]
Iglu & Hartly - Tomorrow "Sometimes you don't like what I do" Sorry about the lack of post on Friday. It was presidential debate night plus a bunch of other stuff so it just sorta fell through the cracks. Anyways, on to today's post. I'm distressed by the crazy amount of hate for Iglu & Hartly on some blogs and in many reviews. Their music is so over-the-top fun and not at all meant [...]

Music Like Dirt and I are away in Poland where Kraftwerk are playing in the splendour of an old steal-mill. Sounds like the perfect setting to me. Here are ten more tunes that've been tickling my taste buds over the past week. Ten more when I come back. 'Boy, Did She Teach You Nothing?' marks the return of one of my favourite bands, Absentee . As always Dan Michelson's devilishly deep vocals are brilliantly contrasted with catchy Pop-Rock with a hint of Bloc Party. [...]

illustration by (the extremely talented) Raul Allen It may not have been obvious for the past month or so, but Letters Have no Arms actually has two contributors. Yes, REALLY! The other 50% of LHNA (yours truly) was away on holiday somewhere in Transylvannia, after having returned from another biiiiiig holiday that...well nevermind. The point is: said 50% of the blog has listened to some great music, seen some cool bands, read some nice books and watched a bunch of [...]
Iglu & Hartly are giving away a track that gonna appear on the band's debut which is set for release on September 29 . Amerikalı karışık müzik yapıcıları (artık karışık müzik diyorum çünkü müziklerini 46 ayrı türe de dahil edebiliriz, electroclash böyle bir şey?) Iglu & Hartly 29 Eylül'de ilk albümleri & Then Boom 'u çıkarıcak ve bana soracak olursanız ortalığın tozunu attıracak. Efes içmelerinden belli bir kere :) Bu albümden bir şarkıyı ücretsiz [...]
Iglu & Hartly - Dayglo "They call me dayglo, in the day I glow" I wrote about Iglu & Hartly's fantastic track In This City months ago (far before Popjustice stumbled upon them, might I add) and today I've got another song from their upcoming debut that's just as good--if not better. I've loved Dayglo ever since I first heard it on myspace. It's just so incredibly catchy [...]
The full moon will be out this weekend, so be on the lookout for werewolves and, here in Georgia, Bigfoot apparently . I contemplated doing a Bigfoot themed mixtape this week (allmusic.com has 171 songs with "bigfoot" in the title alone), but tracks like Bigfoot Eat Bananna , Boppin' With Bigfoot , and Bigfoot By The Ocean just weren't really in line with the Friday Mixtape. So, while Bigfoot Goes to Heaven and Lullaby [...]
