Mount Eerie is at it again folks. The band known for their dark, hard rocking ways have once again put it together on what is quickly becoming a fave around these parts. It rocks hard, it has it's weird lyrics, and it never stops luring me further in. I was a little put off by the track "Don't Smoke", but my personal afflictions have no real place in a pre-review. I've only gone through the album
The Good: Colin Meloy - "We Both Go Down Together"; Truth be told this has been one of my favorite Decemberists songs for quite some time now, and the sheer fact that this is hyping up Colin Meloy's solo collection has me a bit giddy. I love the way his voice warbles throughout this version of the song, and the simplicity behind it has me hooked. Fun stuff for sure. Tokyo Police Club - "In A

Brainlessly a 'Concept' album requires a tad-sharper attention to be able to understand & enjoy, & that's the case here. 'Stainless Style' shrines & borrows its blueprints from the life of the valorous businessman ' John DeLorean ' who contrived the DMC-12 the sleek stainless steel exoskeletal time traveling automobile with gull-wing doors from the 1985 illustrious movie ' Back To The Future ' but the car became popularly known as the 'De Lorean' because of the fame & attention it brought to its creator after its conception & the state of lux he was living in. Even [...]

Just heard this great new track called 'Elvis' by U.K.'s These New Puritans . Loving the lyrics! They blend politics, spirituality, danciness and aggressiveness all with one punch. 'We're being watched by experts', 'I'm gonna tell you my secrets'. Reminds me of the illegal wire tapings and such that have been occuring since 9/11 and probably we're our society is heading in general. You know, to stop terrorism. Cameras everywhere watching our every move, just like in the George Orwells classic '1984'. It also deals with spiritual issues like the religious rapture and agnosticism when it [...]

Playlist du 7 février au 14 février... Toujours 30 titres et deux heures d'écoute... pour les menteurs (Liar des les Sex Pistols), pour les accros du Kraut' (avec Neu! et les irremplaçables Electrelane), pour les nostalgiques énergiques (Les Stone Roses, Supergrass, My Bloody Valentine), pour celles qui sont des arc-en ciels (She's like a Rainbow des Rolling Stones), pour les mélancoliques folkeux (Cat Power, Syd Barret...), pour ceux qui courent après les buzz-Bands pop du moment (MGMT, Yeasayer, Vampire Weekend, Neon Neon, Foals, Holy Fuck, Oh No Ono...), pour les décharges électroniques, (The Blow, Vitalic, les [...]

Ever since they released their excellent debut, Fuzzy Logic , in 1996, Super Furry Animals have proven to be one of the most eclectically and consistently successful acts in Brit-pop. Classifying the group into one genre has always been daunting though, as Brit-pop does admittedly remain too linear a term for the Gruff Rhys-fronted five-piece. In addition to sensibilities of British pop, their 8 studio albums have demonstrated impeccably executed styles of psychedelic rock, dance pop, punk, and throwback power pop. In fact, their latest album, Hey Venus! , served to be an utterly infectious representation of this [...]

Cardiff, Wales I don't know much from Neon Neon, but "Raquel" is one of the friskiest tracks I'm listening to these days. "Raquel" Neon Neon on MySpace Neon Neon on The Hype Machine
It's incredible how much great new music is out there at any given time... I stayed up just last night looking through the blogs and found like 40 great tracks. Enough to fill like 3 cds worth! That's just looking through my usual spots. If you search Hype you could probably find tons more. So there really is no excuse for not finding great new music. Lucky for you guys that we love to do it for you! Anyways I still need a few days to sort out which ones make the final cut (only the best ones [...]

just scooped this up over at cause=time ...a considerably less electronic track than expected from neon neon's upcoming album, stainless style ...the project between super furry animals frontman gruff rhys & experimental producer boom bip that happens to be inspired by engineer & drug-trafficker, john delorean (who's eponymous ride hit 88 like nobody's business in the twin pines parking lot back in '85)...anyway, it's easy to hear the influence in "i told her on alderaan", which has a very 80's new wave kind of vibe...think men at work's "who can it be now?" with [...]
Neon Neon is the artist name for the combined musical powers of Los Angeles based producer Boom Bip and Super Furry Animals main man and solo star Gruff Rhys. The single from the electro-pop duo features Cate Le Bon on vocals, and will appear on the band's forthcoming debut album, 'Stainless... [[ This is a content summary only.

I've managed to get my hot little hands on a copy of Neon Neon's album, Stainless Style, and woah it's ridiculously awesome. Neon Neon are Gruff Rhys of (Super Fury Animals fame) and Boom Bip (of umm Boop Bip fame). This is the first single (I think) and it features Naeem (of Spank Rock fame woo!), I think it's awesome! The album's out in February Neon Neon - Trick For Treat
Uno sembra il seguito di Gnarls Barkley, l'altro un mash-up album di Rufus Wainwright in salsa synth-pop. I nuovi album di Neon Neon (Gruf Rhys dei Super Furry Animals e Boom Bip più una manciata di ospiti rap) e Kelley Polar sono discontinui, o meglio NN discontinuo e KP diviso in due metà sbilanciate. Eppure quando Gruf Rhys canta su uno di quei pezzi che ormai escono fuori solo dalle radio di certi personaggi di Eggers o di Richard Kelly o quando la voce sintetica di Kelley Polar zippa libri liceali di filosofia su base disco, ho una piacevole sensazione [...]
Un peu à la manière de Gorillaz, "Stainless Style" de Neon Neon bouscule la pop et l'electro-hip hop avec quelques rimeurs affutés triés sur le volet (Spank Rock, Yo Majesty, Fatlip) et beaucoup de synthés affolés, c'est le projet du producteur Boom Bip et du songwriter Gruff Rhys. Le premier avait déjà accueilli la voix du second sur un de ses albums, les voir réunis sur long format n'est donc pas une surprise mais le fruit de leur collaboration risque [...]
Oh happy day. Ever since Rings Around the World, Super Furry Animals have opted for bigger venues like Irving Plaza, Hammerstein Ballroom and Webster Hall. But for their forthcoming Hey Venus tour, the NYC area is getting Maxwells, Music Hall...

Boom Bip and Gruff Rhys are currently mixing their album under the Neon Neon moniker which will feature guests such as Yo Majesty, Spank Rock, Har Mar Superstar, Fatlip and the Magic Numbers. The album is based on the life of John Delorean , inventor of the "'Back to the Future" car. Anybody at CMJ on October 18th can preview the album at a Lex Records party where Shape of Broad Minds will be playing live. The rest of us will have to contend with a new song on myspace [...]

That's the cover of Spank Rock and Benny Blanco's 2 Live Crew inspired Bangers & Cash EP. First tune, "Shake that" from it is up now. Yes all 2 Live Crew samples. Tracklisting below. It's not going to beat my favourite Spank Rock related release "Trick for Treat" from the Boom Bip/Gruff Rhys collab Neon Neon of which you can buy a nice 123 picture disc . That is definitely one of my tunes of the year. MP3 Spank Rock and Benny Blanco - Shake That [...]
The first track from Gruff Rhys (Super Furries) and Boom Bip's project Neon Neon has been posted. Called "Trick for Treat" it features vocals from Har Mar Superstar, Naeem from Spank Rock and Gruff Rhys and is lot more electro than Boom Bip is known for (although closer to his upcoming Saccrelige EP). It leaves me salivating for more... Listen at Myspace . Tags: Neon Neon , Gruff Rhys , Boom Bip , Spank Rock , Har Mar SuperStar
