Hello Dears, Ivyy here with a column you've all been waiting for: birth control!!! Yes yes, I know. I just heard the sound of my millions of readers groaning. "But Ivyy!" you say. "We're adults, man! We know all about birth control!" All I have to say, millions of readers, is, oh really? Are you sure? And furthermore, are you the only one reading my column? Won't you think of my young readers, my young impressionable readers who don't know and feel uncomfortable asking and are just really very impressionable and innocent? Think of THE CHILDREN, [...]
It might be a coincidence, but O Yea by Beautiful Swimmers, one of the best tunes I've heard this year so far, seems to sit somewhere in between similarly named classics by two of our idols, i.e. Can and Daft Punk, discipline and swing laced together in one cracker of ...

- Rolling Stone : "Flo Rida also gives us a sneak preview of another R.O.O.T.S. single, "Jump," which Flo predicts will top the charts and soundtrack the upcoming NBA playoffs with its chorus "When I say jump, you say how high." Flo Rida: Right Round .mp3 -Terry Teachout writes about something that I blogged about a few weeks ago: "the double lives many musicians, writers, and artists, of necessity, lead ." - These comments on a review of [...]
In the tradition of impossible-to-Google band names (Pitchfork's Andrew Gaerig has already put Women on notice) comes I.U.D. , a collaboration between Gang Gang Dance vocalist/drummer Lizzi Bougatsos and Growing affiliate Sadie Laska. Despite the fact that the band's upcoming Social Registry debut LP, The Proper Sex , contains a track titled "Girls Just Wanna (Time to Have Sex)", it's unlikely that birth control is the focus [...]
Just before Halloween we premiered Vetiver's cover of A.R. Kane's " Miles Apart " from More Of The Past . Well, here's to the future: Next month Andy Cabic & Co. are releasing Tight Knit , their first album for Sub Pop (and fourth full-length overall). For now you can take a listen to the sunny lead track "Everyday." It's decidedly more straightforward than that danceable " You May Be Blue (Neighbors Remix) ." We also have the album art, which is bluer than you might imagine after listening to "Everyday."
I gotta hand it to The Social Registry, their Social Club 7" series just keeps pumping out the great releases. Another limited slice of fun and frolic tumbles onto your platter courtesy of I.U.D. I.U.D. - FF'ing b/w Goat Pussy 7" Until further notice I.U.D. wins the prize for best combination of nonsensical artwork with bizarre song titles. Any band that releases a track called "Goat Pussy" automatically gets at least one spin, right? I.U.D. isn't all shock and awe [...]
Most of the previous New Wave Tuesday's have been single artists entries, today we switch it up & bring you the first ever New Wave Tuesday mix tape! Below are a few tracks that we just can't do without when it comes to the new wave/post punk genre. Some of them are new, some are old. Some more obscure than others, but they are all equally good. Essential Logic - "Wake Up" (mp3) Stranglers - "Nice & Sleazy" (mp3) * X-Ray [...]
