After delivering several albums with flashes of brilliance but a lack of consistency, mr. Gnome have taken their biggest stride with Madness in Miniature, their third full-length album. Their previous two carried a common plague, where style reigned over substance as memorable hooks failed to form with over-active arrangements or superfluous stylistic pursuits. When mr.
Por Bárbara Pavan Cuando las mujeres no eran más que simples pop stars y Melanie Griffith era el símbolo de todo lo que es Girl Power con su secretaria ejecutiva, en 1988, las mujeres comenzaban a sentirse intranquilas mientras una tercera ola del feminismo pasaba demasiado tiempo debatiendo cuestiones filosóficas sobre el sentido del género y miles de ellas vivían situaciones agobiantes en el trabajo y en el hogar. Después de años de lucha, las mujeres aún seguían siendo un pedazo de carne, y esto aplica también a la música. [...]

The Le Tigre/MEN member JD Samson has an article up on the Huffington Post in which she talks about the financial difficulties faced by musicians in general and herself in particular: "I'm 33 years old and I can't make coffee. I don't know how to use Excel, or bartend, or wait tables, and I'm officially too old to join the police force. I've lost the confidence to go back to school and feel stressed out about impending debt when I think about further education for even one second." In that article, she talks [...]
Brazilian band CSS played The Fillmore on Thursday with support from MEN.
Photo Credit: Allison Michael Orenstein Today's song is "Simultaneously" by MEN . This is off their debut album Talk About Body . Based out of Brooklyn, the group is comprised of LE TIGRE's JD Samson, cult icon and leader in the LGBT community, and Ladybug Transistor's Michael O'Neill. The group began in 2007 with the DJ/production/remix team of LE TIGRE members JD Samson and Johanna Fateman. With LE TIGRE on hiatus, when the duo began to write new songs, it made sense to merge their efforts with JD's other project HIRSUTE (Michael O'Neill, JD Samson, Emily [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Le Tigre, Hot Chip, Crystal Castles, Peaches "CSS - La Liberacion" What's so good? I've probably spent hours mindlessly jumping around to CSS's self-titled debut. Their second album, Donkey , kept up the energy, even if big hits failed to emerge. But the latest, La Liberacion , is something of a ghost of the [...]
Brooklyn-based electropop/dance project MEN (centered around Le Tigre's JD Samson and Ladybug Transistor's Michael O'Neill) released their debut album, Talk About Body , earlier this year following a handful of singles and an EP. The group is about to embark on a North American tour with CSS (dates below), and, to celebrate, we've got two tracks for you: album single "Simultaneously" and its Lesands remix. Generally, I'm not a fan of remixes, but I quite enjoy the amped up, '80s new wave dance action provided by Lesands in this particular remix -- the addition of the funky [...]

Noted scholar Beyoncé Giselle Knowles once famously posed the question: "Who run the world?" The answer according to many-including Doctor Rosen Rosen -remains loud and clear: GIRLS . The up-and-coming writer, producer and remix extraordinaire (a prominent feature within such official remix packages as Lady Gaga 's "Telephone" and Natalia Kills ' "Mirrors") is now set to prescribe his debut EP to the masses: GIRLS: VOLUME 1 . Containing four songs, the good doctor's first-ever compilation benefits from a vocal assist from four of pop's most promising bubbling-under females, [...]
In 2001, a four-day, female-centric indie rock festival known as Ladyfest Midwest landed in Chicago with a mission to raise funds and treat spectators to sights and sounds of famed lady rockers such as Le Tigre, Tegan & Sara and Bratmobile. Ten years later, the organizers have announced an anniversary edition to take place August 19-21 boasting talented local female musicians. The festival will also once again raise funds for the Chicago Women's Health Center . The festivities kick-off on Friday, August 19 with a dance party at Northwest side club Late [...]
Indie Records That picture was taken on my phone by the way. Aside from the Doggfather, these are all probably names that the average listener won't recognize. Regardless, they're all still great tracks. In other news I'll be home by the end of the week so you can expect the posting to pick back up as I try to handle the reverse jet lag.

A couple of weeks ago Kathleen Hanna weighed in on Odd Future , if you remember those guys. The Bikini Kill/Julie Ruin/Le Tigre/riot grrrl icon is continuing to do interviews for the Who Took the Bomp? DVD and an in-progress documentary The Punk Singer so, of course, folks are continuing to toss her questions about contemporary musicians. For instance, here are Hanna's thoughts on Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Jason Mraz, and the creator of "the wost thing [...] on the face of the Earth." Read More...
Happy Monday guys... and I say that in the most sarcastic way possible. The weekend flew by pretty quickly and I was locked up every minute of it doing work for my summer courses, and now, well I'm back to school till Friday. Fortunately I was able to put together a playlist that would keep my mind going so I could stop fantasizing about rollerskating down my street in this nice Toronto weather we are having lately, and I thought I would share a few songs to get you guys through the week. These pretty much sum up my favorite [...]

El 6 de junio pasado salió a la venta el ya muy comentado "Total: From Joy Division to New Order" disco que recopila canciones de ambos grupos. Se trata de una selección que ha provocado diferentes reacciones entre los fans, aunque en lo personal creo que estas dos bandas son geniales y este disco me parece un buen resumen. ¿Recuerdan la visita de Peter Hook, bajista de ambos grupos, a Noiselab hace poco más de un año? acá el link para que cheques ese especial insight con el artista.

It's another strong week for new indie rock releases with fresh albums from Black Lips, Arctic Monkeys, Cults, F*cked Up, Dawes, Hooray For Earth, Almost Free, Hospital Ships, Givers. We've like the Cults since we first heard them, but here's where the 'indie question' comes in. Now that the Cults have signed to Columbia - [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Movies , Q + A Aliya Naumoff It's been a few years since Le Tigre have toured or released any new material, but their influence has only grown. The band's history and impact is documented in the film ' Who Took the Bomp? Le Tigre on Tour ,' which is out on DVD now and features in-depth interviews with members Kathleen Hanna , Johanna Fateman and [...]
As I'm sure you're all aware, tomorrow marks the dawning of the Rapture (6 P.M. Eastern Standard Time), in which believers will be whisked off to eternal salvation while the earth's tainted masses (see: atheists, mimes, music bloggers) will be sentenced to 5 months of pestilence, famine, and other vaguely unfavorable things. Because you'll need a kickin' rad soundtrack to spin while the locusts devour you whole, we've assembled Repent! , a mix of 17 songs steeped in that sweet End Times Flavor™. Enjoy, and pick up a t-shirt while you're at it. [...]
