We recently met up with Derek, founder of the Neon Gold music blog and label, at the recent Great Escape festival. Having just watched a band that he's fully supported, St Lucia , we put it to him that there is a new genre and we are calling it " Neon Gold pop ". This is because there's a recognizable style of synth-based music that he is often first to. It's always scaled up, with lots of pop hooks, middle eights, a stack of energy and a light convivial touch, often fronted by a charismatic [...]

I went and saw The Naked and Famous Wednesday at the Ogden Theatre in Denver. In doing so, I got to scratch one of the things I wanted to do off the bucket list. From All Of This opening the set to Girls Like You closing and Young Blood capping the encore, it was an awesome concert and experience. Even though I've never watched The Wire (something I hope to rectify soon), one of my favorite quotes comes from the show: "A life, Jimmy, you know what that [...]

Photo by Mike Vorassi Today's song is "School Friends" by Now, Now . This song is off their sophomore album Threads which was released last March on Trans- Records. Threads is the culmination of a long journey that began nearly a year ago at SXSW 2011 when they developed a friendship with Trans- founder and Death Cab For Cutie guitarist/producer Chris Walla. Later that summer the Twin Cities trio hopped in their van and drove 1800 miles cross country to record with producer Howard Redekopp (Tegan and Sara, New Pornographers, An Horse) in Vancouver. [...]

![[News] M83 Announces 'Reunion' EP, Extends Tour](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4146802_lg.jpg)
M83 has announced that the followup single to their stupidly successful first single "Midnight City" will be the ever gorgeous "Reunion", both of which come from the 2011 release Hurry Up We're Dreaming . The single will be released in the form of an EP on May 8th, 2012 via Mute and will feature remixes from The Naked And Famous, Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr., and Mylo, among others. The fabulous Frenchman has also added a few tour dates to his nearly completely sold out tour, including a show at The Fox [...]
Everyone's 2010 buzz band, the NAKED & FAMOUS , took to the Jimmy Kimmel last PM to perform your fave year-old choon, YOUNG BLOOD .
Neil Krug The Söderberg sisters of First Aid Kit make no attempt to represent themselves as anything other than what they are - two girls barely on either side of 20 harmonizing on heartfelt songs that conjure the spirit of bygone and world-weary Appalachian folk traditions a world and era away from the from the Stockholm suburbs where they grew up. It's a contrast and harmony that made their first two releases - 20082s debut EP Drunken Trees and the 2010 full-length The Big Black & [...]

![[REMIX] Naked and Famous – “Young Blood” (Strange Talk Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4000040_lg.jpg)
the motive changes like the wind, hard to control when it begins ♫ Naked and Famous - Young Blood (Strange Talk Remix) The last thing any of us need is another remix of a jam from 2010 but oh wait never mind apparently we do. Strange Talk get all 80s-suspense-action on this jam, setting the perfect mood for some mustachioed crime fighting. Or an Axel Foley chase scene through a dance club. Try and live those dreams this weekend as you have this on max volume. I know I will.
2011 was a great year for music, heralding the return of veteran bands, Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers while new artists Foster The People and The Naked & Famous broke through in a big way. Here's B-Sides Top 11 Songs of 2011! 11. Lana Del Rey, "Video Games:" The "gangsta Nancy Sinatra," Lana Del Rey could not have described herself any better. Backed by orchestral bombast, the songstress unashamedly attempts to hold onto a love that is no longer present. "I say you the bestest," [...]
I hope that the holidays have treated everyone well. I haven't posted for some time and I haven't posted a mix for a longer time. I was moved to make a short 42 minute mixtape since the last time I posted. This mix is looking forward to the new year and what it brings. I couldn't think of a good name for this mix and I've been sitting on it for a couple days. Almost decided to name it after the first song because that just fit, but I finally decided on Trading Smiles Across The Night because [...]
This one is a favorite of Tiesto. From Electric Zoo 2011 , to, just, last week in Stockholm , the super-DJ has supported this indie-inspired creation. The remixers behind this, Futurecop! , are a duo from the UK who, according to a dated MySpace page, make 'Retro Space Music.' That still holds true with their take on ' Young Blood ' A glance over their Soundcloud will show many indie remakes that are surely worth a listen . Futurecop!, listener tested, Tiesto approved .
What is that? Is it a play on the name of that mountain range in Switzerland? Is it literally something to do with the anatomy of Swiss people? Is it a new euphemism from those pesky teenagers that we're no longer privy to? Are they linking that most sensuous, kissable part of every human being and linking with it that most neutral of European countries? It makes no sense to us. Are we missing the joke here? It's hard not to consider their choice of band name, particularly when it sounds so, well, downright silly. We would love to state [...]
