I've been very busy of late what with a new job and lots of other side projects on the go that its been a struggle to come on and write anything. It's sometimes hard to know what to write about, especially when you're a bit bored with all the music currently doing the rounds and have reverted to listening to older gems. I'd say that I have my answer there as that's what I should be writing about. Imagine my delight, when I seen that a band I've only gotten into in the past year or so are [...]
It has been 2 years since the last Dears release and in that time the amorphous Canadian group has gone from duo to band to duo again. As of right now, the Dears consists of its founders, Murray Lightburn and Natalia Yanchak. And it appears that it is going to stay that way for a while. With The Dears, however, you never know. Their newest musical endeavor, Missiles , is not supposed to be out until October 21st, but due to a little thing we like to call the Internet, it is now available at [...]

The Dears DOWNLOAD : The Dears - Money Babies (wmv) Montreal's The Dears have a new record coming out and they're about to embark on a (fairly big) Canada/US tour to promote it. Missiles drops on October 21 in the US and The Dears will be at The Hiro Ballroom on October 23 (CMJ) celebrating its release, along with Dangerbird label mates Eulogies . This version of The [...]

(photo by Liam Maloney) We've always had a soft spot in our black hearts for the seemingly uncanny songwriting of Murray Lightburn and the group he is principal of, The Dears . And we cannot simply tell you how good we feel that we're finally able to tell you guys that The Dears have a new record, called Missiles , set for release on October 21. The Dears also have more members (filling out even more of the sonics of the previous iterations). Says Lightburn of the new record, [...]

En una nota pasada les comentaba sobre las declaraciones de Natalia Yanchak, tecladista de The Dears , sobre el lanzamiento del nuevo álbum de los canadienses. Lo único que nos informaba es que este año vería a la luz dicho álbum y que, básicamente les valía un pepino la opinión de la crítica sobre el futuro material. Afortunadamente, ya nos han dado más pistas sobre éste. Resulta que el cuarto disco de estudio llevará por nombre Missiles y será lanzado el 20 de octubre, vía Dangerbird Records, un [...]

Il y a déjà un bout de temps, dans mon tout premier post, j'avais posté 2 tracks de Missill en .m4a que certains malheureux n'ont pu lire... J'ai donc décidé d'être bon aujourd'hui. Je vous les reposte en .mp3 HQ... Get Busted - Missill 320 kbps Scream - Missill 320 kbps J'en profite aussi pour vous balancer une autre piste avec Edu-K en featuring, puisque j'en entends pas mal parler en ce moment... [...]

Art by Mark Verhaagen First thing's first: There's some new Autokratz released right now. One of Kitsune's more recent additions, these guys have been putting out some insanely good stuff. The Headman remix that I got around to posting is still a firm favorite in my ipod, frequently looped to death wherever the jam might take me. They have the rough-around-the-edges electro flare to their sound that draws me right in, while still managing to make their songs more than just headbangers. It's the vocals. Along with one of the tracks off of [...]

This track is definitely a contender for party jam of the summer. I haven't even heard Luda rap on anything in almost a year, but on "Throw It Up," Luda makes quite a return to the microphone with fellow superstar Lil Wayne. This is another one from Busta Rhymes' new album Blessed , which is scheduled to hit stores some time in August. I've heard Busta and many other rappers say in interviews that when you're in a studio working with talent that's either equal to yours or exceeds it, then you have to step your game up a [...]

En pleine révisions je m'accorde le privilège de te faire plaisir. De nouveautés qui ne te laisseront pas de marbre. Certains diront : "Déjà vu. Déjà entendu." Mais je persiste à dire qu'il ne faut pas toujours de la nouveautés pour être rassasié. Redondance entraine dépendance. Ecoutes ces tracks. /////// Missill - Glitch Klaxons - Magick (Simian Mobile Disco Remix) /////// klaxons , MISSIL , SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO , song

Some genres and artists exist only on the periphery of Kunk's usual radar - but from time to time the periphery forces itself right in the line of sight. That's what has happened in the case of this banging track put out by French dj/graphic artist/producer/doer of all things urban otherwise known as Missill . A few versions of this track have been floating around, namely a remix done by fellow Frenchie, Tepr , as well as one featuring vocals by Berlin ragga-ravers Jahcoozi (which incidentally I played at last week's Sanomachi party).

courtesy of China Confidential: "China is practicing a form of low-intensity "Unrestricted Warfare" against the United States, as shown by its alarming anti-satellite test of January 11. Unrestricted Warfare is the English title of an influential 1999 book on military strategy authored by two Colonels in the People's Liberation Army, Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui. The book argues that countries can defeat technologically superior foes through deployment of an unlimited array of unconventional means rather than through direct military confrontation. Methods include terrorism-the book predicted [...]
