Believe it or not, Mad Mackerel has been around for more than five years now. During that time we've posted more than 4,000 times, and offered more than 5,000 songs for your listening pleasure. And more than three quarters of a million people have paid MM a visit during our lifetime on Google's godawful blogspot and since April 2010 on WordPress. We asked some of the regular MM contributors to give us their top twenty songs since MM first went live and we're also going to give you one big mega-listing shortly, but first up with their personal [...]

Talk about an all-star lineup on a track! Bot'Ox (Cosmo Vitelli and Julien Briffaz) call in Pachanga Boys (composed of none other than Superpitcher and Rebolledo) to craft up a whirling version of their "Basement Love". Not only that, the track itself features vocals from the legendary Foremost Poets (aka jOHNNYDANGEROUs). Dark as the darkest basement you've ever danced in, this version is mystical and somehow a little something in it lingers in the back of your mind. It's a free download [...]

New electronic music here. Tip of the hat to I'm A Cliché for offering up this Pachanga Boys (aka Rebolledo and Superpitcher) edit of “Basement Love” by Bot'Ox for free. The so-called “hippie dance” act turn the pop song into a 12-minutes-long techno trip. Their faithful use of the original parts dramatize the whole as if to bring the song to another level. We’re loving it, have a listen. “Basement Love” is the first part of Bot’Ox’s second album Sans Dormir. Two years after their previous LP Babylon by Car, Cosmo Vitelli and Julien [...]

Finally, after a long wait, our favorite French electronic duo Bot'Ox , Cosmo Vitelli and Julien Briffaz, return wth their brand new single "Basement Love", and we're excited. "Basement Love" is a superb slow-driving tune with vocals from Foremost Poets, aka Johnny Dangerous, who first teamed up with Bot’Ox for their "Perfect Pair" EP in 2011. This is the first taste from their upcoming second album "Sans Dormir", which will follow-up 20102s LP "Babylon By Car". The "Basement Love" EP arrives on December 10th via I'm a Cliché, [...]

Yesterday evening, Andy Molholt of Philadelphia psych-pop group Laser Background and his longtime friend Brendan Mulvihill of the junkyard folk act Norwegian Arms moved into Dreamcastle, a house-show space in South Philadelphia. They're living there temporarily, leading up to the kickoff show of their house show "tour" tomorrow night. The plan is an imaginative one: the ... Continue reading

Hey there! You should read this original post on the hill by going here: Polaris Possibilities for 2012 As we get close to June, it means that I've got to start eliminating the pretenders from the contenders for the 2012 Polaris Prize . There are countless records that deserve to be on my ballot and won't get included, and like any subjective vote, there will be adoration showered on records I can't stand. So be it. I try to keep an active list of my "favorite records" but the Polaris mandate asks [...]

Here are a few tracks that we'd meant to post, but for some inexplicable reason (well, time mostly...) we never got round to putting up at the time when they were new. Yet running through the long list we keep of mp3s, streams and videos, these were all in the "should post" category. They go back a couple of months (for some of them anyway), but what the heck, we figured you might easily have missed one or two of these too. The TV Buddhas , currently based in Germany, but originally from Tel Aviv, have [...]
I'm damn excited to type a two digit number on this mix, and happy as always to present another mix of local tracks. Keep an eye out for something special on the anniversary of this mix.
Herohill delivers another fantastic compilation, with 'The Bard of Montreal,' their tribute to Leonard Cohen.
![[Listen/Download] Ox- Out On the Weekend](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4047352_lg.jpg)
by teepoo Seems like we posted tracks by Ox quite a few times recently but haven't really said much about him. There's nothing much to him except that he's from the West Coast and writes simple, yet enjoyable songs. Here's one he didn't write though. It's a cover of Neil Young's Out On the Weekend and I think he does Neil some justice. Ox- Out on the Weekend

Ox is a Canadian gem that is grossly under-appreciated in the States. I somehow stumbled across them a few years back and have been smitten ever since. And although I have been batting my eyelashes at them for a years now, I've yet to see them live as they have not hit Chicago or made a trip down to SxSW. The handiwork of Mark Browning and his main collaborator Ryan Bishops; tUCo has Ox at their best - singing country-tinged Americana (Canadiana?) about nothing in particular. And honestly, there is nothing particularly different or unique about [...]

I know, I know. Lists are annoying and trying to assign rankings and value to art is subjective at best. That's why these records - 25 from releases that really made an impact on me in '11 - aren't branded with any type of distinction other than "favorite." These are records, not songs, that warmed my heart, eased my pain, inspired my creativity or simply helped tap my toe or nod my head. They never asked for anything more than a listen, and I was more than happy to oblige. That being said, there [...]
by teepoo The last time I posted something from Ox , it was slightly ridiculous. Well here's something quite different and subtle. Ox- Nico Here's the video. So mellow:

I know we're only into the first week of December, but you know how nutty the holidays can get, what with all the merry-making and the eggnog and the various delicious liquors that go in the eggnog, so who knows if we'll get another Video Hits posted this year. But I have to say, if this is indeed it for the year, it's a great one to go out on. For example, we have what many people are already calling the best video of the year: Kalle Matson's Thick As Thieves . As [...]
