Got this is the mailbox the other day and the second I heard the beat I was hooked. STORi is a singer/songwriter from Newark, NJ who is signed to NextDay Ent. This is her latest video. Find out more from her here .

Edinburgh duo Capitals describe themselves as an electronic outfit, but this moody, driving double A-side single manages the far-from-mean feat of sounding like a full band. Much of this is down to the slick production (all the more impressive when you know that the pair did it all themselves in their own studio... Read more..
I was chatting with an old friend from high school this morning, about weddings, moving from city to city, and food. We were reminiscing about some of our old haunts (well, one specifically) in and around our hometown. It made me feel old, and it didn't help that while this conversation was occurring I was [...]

THIS BAND ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO SHOUT ABOUT. They're called Capitals (you can see what I did there), they're a duo from Edinburgh that features an ex-member of The Cinematics, and a man who's previously made music under the banner of Araya. Both of these were excellent - I was devastated when the former split, let's just make sure we're clear on that - but I haven't been keeping tabs on new projects, so it was with great joy that I discovered that Angus Carbarns and Keir Macculloch have teamed up to produce intense, brooding electronic music with pop sensibilities. [...]

I apologize in advance. I'm about to get a little bit bitchy. Yesterday I was talking to an acquaintance in Melbourne via MSN. I owe him the last four months of my life because he was the one who convinced me to book my trip to Bangkok one Saturday night in Melbourne last June. He'd recently returned from two weeks in Singapore, and he had a two-month trek to Bangkok in the works. By the time you finish reading this post, you'll understand why I saw him only once while he was here. He'd [...]
An Alexi Helligar creation "Love is a battlefield," the great Pat Benatar once sang. But 28 years later, where is the love? Where is the romance and the potential for finding it? True romance, not romantic behavior as a means to an end (sex). It's probably not at DJ Station in Bangkok, Glam in Buenos Aires, the Peel in Melbourne, nor in any bar, club, dance floor or online-dating forum I've wandered into or onto in the last five years. Chances are [...]
Will Young è forse il primo cantante europeo - o comunque uno dei primi - lanciato da un talent show: il suo debutto risale infatti al 2002, quando vinse la prima edizione inglese di Pop Idol, una edizione che fra l'altro lanciò anche la gallese Jessica Garlick , poi terza all'Eurofestival l'anno dopo. Dai tempi della sua cover di "Light my fire" dei Doors , di acqua sotto i ponti ne è passata e lui ha vissuto diversi anni di mainstream, vendendo diverse milioni di copie degli album, associate a dischi di platino [...]

Relative Memory è una collaborazione tra Jealousy Party insieme al musicista elettroacustico Nicolas Wiese . Si tratta di due differenti session di registrazione catturate a Berlino nel 2008 e in seguito ricostruite, decostruite, rielaborate nella fase di missaggio in un processo che ha portato via circa due anni di lavorazione. Il risultato sono quattro tracce dove la sperimentazione radicale di Wiese amplia il suono dei Jealousy Party in un sorprendente sincretismo sonoro. Jealousy Party, lo ricordiamo, sono Roberta WJ Meatball (JP set), Mat Pogo (Voices), Edoardo Ricci (Saxophones) in questo [...]

Straight boy lust? Join the club. Inspired by 19562s classic Trapeze , the UK's original Pop Idol Will Young finds himself strapped into some spandex and swinging on poles (of the gymnastics variety, that is) in the gorgeous video for his new Richard X -produced single (and one of my favorite tracks of 2011), "Jealousy." Along the way, the singer remains hopelessly devoted to a sexy, strapping young hunk of ambiguous sexual orientation spending all his time twirling about with some blonde bimbo (okay, so he's [...]

Did we mention how outstandingly good the new Will Young song, 'Jealousy', is (we know we didn't, but if we pretend we might have done it sort of saves face)? You know when a song arrives and everyone with ears says "Oh wow. This song is fantastic. Who is it? Will Young? Such a nice boy. I'm so pleased he is still making brilliant records." That is this song. Here is the video. Our favourite bit is when Will yells "fuck it" at the old man. Did anyone [...]

Who would have figured that seemingly mild mannered Marc Anthony would be such a jealous freak? Well, that's what the folks over at People Magazine are alleging. Their claim is that the marriage crumbled due to jealousy, infidelity, and Marc trying to control all aspects of his wife's life. Lame. When the pair announced their split a mere 5 days ago, it was with the statement that they had "come to an amicable conclusion on all matters." But is that really the [...]
