Been traveling for the past couple weeks and jamming to some older jams in the process. Check out some gems that stood out. Walter Meego- Romantic Hudson Mohawke- Overnight Out Hud- It's For You Astrud Gilberto & RJD2- Gentle Rain
Recently the mother of all indie music sites, Epitonic, relaunched. This event had me digging in my back catalog for some of that early music that Epitonic turned me on to. It, along with You... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
I've been thinking a lot lately about our upcoming Best of 2009 lists and the things that have blown my mind this year. While focusing on the present I TOTALLY forgot that this is the end of the decade and that REALLY blew my mind...like way more than anything that happened in 2009. How did we end up here? I have such vivid memories of Y2K and all my friends who were afraid to go out on NYE. I feel so old! Anyways, this decade I guess I became an adult for reals, but besides that, I found [...]
I was at the gym yesterday, watching the TV, and I learned that in 1900, a person's life expectancy was only 47 years. Let me tell you, people, that is young, very very young. Today it's up to 78, which is still young, actually, but when I saw that number 47, it hit me something hard. Back in the day, you were most likely to die from infection, childbirth or an accident. Today it's cancer, heart disease or dementia. I like to think that I'll just die peacefully of some natural cause, like [...]
Recommended Show: SUNDAY, JULY 19, 2009 JEAN ON JEAN @ BRUAR FALLS 245 Grand Street Brooklyn, NY 11211 $8, 6:00PM Normally on Sundays I'd recommend the JellyNYC Pool Party, but this week is headlined by The Dirty Projectors, who I've seen one too many subpar shows from. However, at night Jean on Jean take to the stage at Bruar Falls. The Brooklyn band features an ex-member of Out Hud, but expect something much sweater.

Flying Saucer Attack were formed in Bristol, England in 1992. David Pearce was the core member of the group, and Rachel Brook (of Movietone, another Bristol band) was a member for most of the band's lifetime. The band were marked by quiet vocals and sheets of feedback with similarities to contemporary shoegazing bands, or The Jesus and Mary Chain. FSA were able to create a small but enthusiastic fanbase as one of the more remarkable experimental rock bands of the day. The band were notable for recording most of their output at home into a normal home stereo [...]
I posted an old A Certain Ratio track maybe last week or so, and since then Ive been digging into their 'newer' stuff (like '82 still). I really am surprised that these guys weren't bigger. They had all the elements: signed to Factory Records, 80's punk-funk dance, and they were all seriously stylish guys. This is a bit of a departure from the darker sound of their first album, 'The Graveyard And The Ballroom', but still does the trick. MP3: A Certain Ratio - Touch This [...]
Out Hud Several things I've been hearing lately reminded me of this: one of the coolest and most inventive alternative dance outfits of the 00's which sadly disbanded after two brilliant albums. A slight oldie but goldie. Out Hud - It's For You
Hey guys, L here! Wow, how long has it been since my last post? My deepest apologies, I've just been terribly busy, between being full-time in school, full-time at work, then my social life and my own blog, that I've neglected my little guest spot here on Mossip. However, now that I have my new Macbook, I will do my best to contribute more here. Anyways, I do have a really sexy treat for those of you who waited and enjoy the type of music I listen to. This song is by a group called Out Hud , they [...]
When I heard Cut Copy's mix tape "A Night Out With Cut Copy", one track stayed my mind for a while. A few months later, I was told that this was by a band called Out Hud from San Francisco.(Later they moved to NY) Unfortunately,they already broke up in 2006. The bassist,Tyler Pope, is now a member of !!! (Their gig was one of the most unforgettable gigs of mine by accidentally...) and has also played for LCD Soundsystem before. The track we are posting today is "It's For You"from the [...]

Marquis returns this Friday at Red Lounge. This time, however, we are celebrating multiple releases from the Swedish Columbia roster (BMK, Jonathan Kreinik, Triobelisk, and Outputmessage). And what better way to celebrate than having Swedish Columbia artists DJ? First up is, Jonathan Kreinik, who is no stranger to the DC scene, having recorded the [...]

I'm off to DC this weekend to witness the clusterfuck celebration of Inauguration. I am sure it will involve lots of freezing my ass off, standing for hours, and generally being annoyed with the mass of humanity that is sure to be everywhere. That being said...it's something i wouldn't miss. I hope everyone has a great weekend. See yah on the other side.

!!! : Friends Forever . !!! have had several lineup changed over the years. It felt like members dropped off like flies for a while, but the band is still going strong. As one of the pioneers of the dance-rock hybrid revival, the band have spawned several offshoots and have a vast array of peers. Free Blood Ex-!!!er John Pugh's project with Madeline Davy stays very true to their roots. They certainly focus more on the "dance" side of the [...]

Myspace // "Tonight [Audio] Outhud may have been the hook that got me to listen to Jean on Jean, but it's obviously not what has kept me hanging around. The band, fronted by former Outhud-er Molly Shnick, will probably be never heard beneath the flicker of a disco ball, and that's okay. Their self-titled debut is out next month on Kanine Records , and while it may be too twee for its own good, obvious nods to breezy [...]
