2012 left me a bit blah. I'll always find at least 5 great albums in any year that trips me out and will be listened to for years to come. The top 10 i've listed here to me I feel they've hit it right out of the park. You may have noticed that i haven't blogged much about new [...]
In this edition: discover Finland's Delay Trees; listen to new tracks and remixes from John Cale, Goat, Grave Babies, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down and Metz; plus videos from Delay Trees, Exsonvaldes, and The Megaphonic Thrift.

Shooting for something a little less, um, esoteric than the last two weeks, some music to sink your teeth into. Here are some great newish rock and roll albums: three great albums featuring three great bands from three different countries playing three distinct sounds. Jaill: Traps Sometimes all it takes is a catchy hook to get you going and Jaill’s 2nd full-length album on Sup Pop is teeming with them. This album from the Milwaukee rockers is the type of smart pop music that makes you wonder why you’ve never heard of them [...]

Frank Yang Ostensibly, SXSW is a festival meant to expose new music to the world and vice versa, so the fact that I'd spent the past evening and afternoon seeing established artists - I think Springsteen counts as established - rather than seeking out something new wasn't lost on me. So the festival's Friday night was devoted wholly to discovery. Onwards! Los Angeles' Tashaki Miyaki are working the "mysterious" angle, declining to offer information about their identities - she sings and drums and goes by Lucy, [...]

We haven't had more than seven days that've dropped below freezing, but it is still technically winter. I keep hoping we'll get one snowstorm before it's over. Maybe. Here for you, there's two bands from Finland, four from Australia, Dreams and Dreems, Cats and Cates, guitars and synths. One Dinowalrus. I think this will be the last Wintry Mix of 2012. But look for Spring Fever in April. DOWNLOAD WINTRY MIX 2.22.2012 Tracklist: 1. Eux Autres - Right [...]
The Megaphonic Thrift have released their new self-titled record featuring 'Moonstruck' and 'Raising Flags'. The Norwegian supergroup have their fingers in plenty of pies, transitioning between blistering psych rock and shoegaze through to more experimental ambient pop, with lots of guitars! The four piece turned heads with their last record 'Decay Decoy' but there are moments on 'The Megaphonic Thrift' that will reach a wider audience, the accessibility of 'Moonstruck' is one example.

We are super stoked to be able to share a shiny new track from The Megaphonic Thrift's, forthcoming follow up, to their brilliant debut LP, Decay Decoy. The new album is due out in February, and they have a North American tour in the works to support the new record, including a stop in Portland. Stay tuned for more info. So without further ado, this is Tune Your Mind. The Megaphonic Thrift; Tune Your Mind
Fresh from Bergen, Norway comes Electric Eye 's new video for '6AM'. The rampant psych-rockers have made the tongue in cheek comment that the video was shot on the moon in 1972. Footage yes but... sadly, Electric Eye couldn't make it that day. Download audio file (Electric-Eye_6AM.mp3) So who are Electric Eye !? They're a conglomerate of space rocking talent featuring The Megaphonic Thrift / Low Frequency In Stereo guitarist Njal Clementsen, Oystein Braut, guitarist of The Alexandria Quartet, Anders Bjelland of Hypertext and drumming wiz Oyvind Hegg-Lunde.

Last week Vinyl Junkie Recordings released a new digital compilation 'The Light Shines Into Your Dream'. Its packed full of classic and current dreamy rock tunes by Exit Calm, Ringo Deathstarr and The Megaphonic Thrift (tracklist below). 'Candy Sin' isn't on the Vinyl Junkie release but I'm putting it out there anyhow because its tops! Plus I'm still in the middle of downloading the comp from iTunes... multi-tasking! 'Candy Sin' is from the ' Decay Decoy ' album released earlier this year. This song is crazy, great for blowing off stress and killing nerves! [...]

There's beauty in the wheels-falling-off-the-speedin g-truck punk music.
We posted the video of Oh Land capping the day of performances at the outdoor stage of Lipstick 24 already, so here's the full rundown of photographs from the event, which featured amazing sets from the likes of Esben & The Witch, Nite Jewel, Operator Please, Deleted Scenes, Milagres, The Megaphonic Thrift, Kids Of 88, [...]
This week in Austin at SXSW, there are a ridiculous amount of daily music options to choose from. It's overwhelming even for some SXSW veterans, but is especially so for 1st time visitors. We tried to simplify for you the process of choosing from thousands of shows by selecting 40 shows that we feel will be special performances. We highly recommend catching every Charles Bradly & Menahan Street Band , White Denim, Middle Brother, J. Roddy Walston and The Business, King Tuff, JEFF The Brotherhood, and Black Joe Lewis shows. The breakout artist of the festival is [...]
Some more half decent, decent, and downright entertaining videos for you to check out. The Agitator's new single Say NO! is a politically charged call to arms set against an equally radical new musical style. Not a guitar in sight, just front man Derek Meins’ force-of-nature voice accompanied by Robert Dylan Thomas and T-Train on thunderous double drums. Pared down and primal! a Bergen, Norway-based four-piece The Megaphonic Thrift have released a brand [...]
