:: Suge Knight Sweetheart :: :: New Shoes ::Hello, do you miss us? I'm not sure we're actually back yet, but I hate to think we're nothing but a mausoleum of dead links these days. For those many who keep posting that some of our older links are dead: yes they are. We keep things up a generous amount of time, in many cases 6-8 months, and we don't have the server space to keep up the audio to
i was kind of confused by the lights that last.fm suggests is opening for bill callahan tonight. and as it turns out, it is not the canadian synth-poptress lights, but the self-described "psychedelicmetalmojopop" drag city label mates lights that will be playing tonight. makes a little more sense. these guys: should be an interesting pairing... a few more smog things in preparation for the show tonight. a live recording of spoon covering "held", from smog's knock knock [...]

I had a pretty busy weekend... On Friday, I started things off by catching Obits at the Media Club. After Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes, having Rick Froberg at (or near) the helm is an instant recipe for success in my books, and his latest outfit doesn't change that opinion. They're a little less post-punk than previous outfits, but no less enjoyable. The Lights opened up. They sounded, unsurprisingly, quite a bit like the headliners, though not as good (although that's not that much of a hack). After [...]
David Stern has to be happy after the Conference Semifinals. Two game 7's and two Conference Finals match-ups with big names: Lebron Vs. Dwight and Kobe Vs. Carmelo . So before we look ahead, we'll take one more look back over the Conference Semifinals real quick. S. Cadet came back like gangbusters this round, picking all 4 series correctly. Everyone else finished close behind with 3 correct picks. Leaving the standings the same as last time (correct team - 1 point. correct length - 1/2 point): Patrick M. [...]
Obits | Lights | Unnatural Helpers at Neumo's | 16 May 2009 Neumo's felt like a greenhouse Saturday night, partly from the 75 degree day we had and partly from the blistering sets from all three bands which kept the temperature quite tropical throughout the night. I [...]
I would say that I find it odd that the world of electro and hip-hop are slowly coming together, but I don't. With Kanye and Will.I.Am sampling Daft Punk and the fact that Kraftwerk was the foundation for a lot of early hip-hops it's only a natural progression. Colorado producer The Lights , along with Dallas' LehtMoJoe, is one of the guys on that cutting edge of combining club music, hip-hop and electro together and he's pulling it off quite nicely. "Hot Like Sauce" grabs you with the sped [...]
Virgin Mobile Festival (Canada) While we are still awaiting an announcement regarding the fate of the US Virgin Mobile Festival , our neighbor to the north has committed to hosting 5 "Vrigin Mobile Festival" events this year, two of which have already announced dates and initial lineups. Any way you look at it, the lineup for the two day Montreal Virgin Festival is weak, the just announced lineup for the one day Halifax Virgin Festival looks pretty promising though. Check out all the details below, [...]

(you know I HAD to) Yes my dear readers I want you to feel good when you're on the bus /train /subway /car etc tomorrow morning, probably under pouring rain if you're in Paris. That's why I thought I'd bring four pretty amazing songs to cheer you up. Cause you know, that's the awesome power of music. [...]
In this week's paper, Christian Schaeffer reviews Beth Bombara and the Robotic Foundation's self-titled EP. He had this to say: Last year, singer-songwriter Beth Bombara released Abandon Ship, a tidy... Continue reading "Homespun: Beth Bombara and the Robotic Foundation, self-titled EP" >
So I survived my first year at SXSW. I learned that it is possible to live off a diet of alcohol and Zone energy bars. I learned that it is almost ridiculous to make a schedule for SXSW and the best things happen when you are being spontaneous. I learned if you act important enough, you can get into almost anything-backstages included. I learned it is possible to get sunburn in Texas even if you had spent most of your time inside venues. I learned that it is a good idea to carry a power strip, water and batteries in [...]
Noul Archive , cel pe care îl aşteptam cu nerăbdare o apărut. Şi de când am pus mâna şi urechea pe el, n-am putut asculta altceva. Controlling Crowds începe foarte bine cu piesa cu acelaşi nume. Din start are atmosfera aia densă cu care Archive reuşesc să te acapareze şi să te facă să vrei să asculţi albumul ăla până la capăt. Controlling Crowds : Hold [...]

The Lights + Red Sea Sharks at Wildrose, Seattle | 14 March 2009 This past rainy, cold Saturday night, I had the chance to catch two relatively unsung local bands at the Wildrose on Capitol Hill. The Lights, (not the Toronto band, the Seattle one!) haven't been doing many gigs lately, and this seemed like an obvious opportunity as they were playing with Red Sea Sharks. I had previously blown off seeing the Red Sea Sharks a few months ago. It was late on a weeknight and [...]

If anyone knows anything about the band L.I.G.H.T. please post a comment and let me know. The only song I have of theirs is this track from "The World is Yours" compilation that was released by Uprise Records in 1996. It's not an outstanding track, but it is ...
The best way to get hit on.
Light - When The Flood Waters Come Rushing In But there's something that's telling me this isn't your momma's black metal. Maybe it's more like gray metal. Full review on diskant .
Ahh, that timeless story of a girl and her keytar.... Let me introduce to you Lights . Why? Well, 'cos it's Sunday and Lights is kinda' 'Sunday SynthPop'. It's some pretty chilled tunes, but without being dreary or ambient. This is singer/songwriter stuff. Actually, there is a hint of a female The Postal Service going on here, albeit more optimistic, or a less folksy Lykke Li. Like I said, girl and her keytar... Did I mention she's from Toronto?
