Sorry for the lack of posts this last week, we were in EUROPE and couldn't find the internet (and we were drunk).... Anyways, THIS SAT we have yet another spectacular NEW CHECK YO PONYTAIL!! We're so super psyched about this one. We have 3 of the best acts out there all coming together on one stage: DANDI WIND , PASSIONS and BEDTIME FOR TOYS !! Plus, this is the OFFICIAL SUNSET JUNCTION AFTER PARTY, so you know it's gonna be a blowout. Here's the best part too, THE SHOW IS FREE IF YOU RSVP! [...]
Australia, despite the fact that it is a fairly large country (geographically) and is, if you'll recall, also its own continent, has surprisingly enough a relatively small contingent of "indie" bands or so who make it big overseas. There's Architecture in Helsinki , of course, and Wolfmother , and then bands like Jet and, uh, Natalia Imbruglia (think "Torn"). Thankfully, more bands are coming our way - Soft Tigers are a four-piece AiH-ish act from Sydney that make some [...]
So, I'll be gone for a fair while... two weeks to be precise. I'm taking the next two days for myself, and afterwards I'll spend the next handfull of days travelling in and around Amsterdam, Prague and Vienna. I shall resume my posting duties week after next. Just before I go I'm leaving you a personal playlist based on my pubescent fumblings, some nuwave/postpunk/twee nostalgia pop featuring some of my favorite songs of all time (namely Teenage Kicks , Wait and see and I'm in love with a german filmstar ). Hope you enjoy them as [...]
Passions is a Mathhead alias. And as you know, Mathhead is a part of the Trouble & Bass crew out of NYC along side Drop The Lime a.k.a. Curses!. 'Emergency' is a fat electro track featuring Star Eyes on the vocal & of course, doesn't skimp on the bass. And Homecoming is The Teenagers powerhouse track that has been remixed by many & loved by all. MP3: Passions - Emergency MP3: The Teenagers - Homecoming [...]
I spent most of my Saturday playing the adequate PS2 port of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories . I has the same "expansion pack" feel to it that Liberty City Stories had, although I'm enjoying it far more than I did that game. It's no San Andreas , but it's a decent waste of twenty dollars nonetheless. The game also features a return to licensed soundtrack music, a feature sorely missed in the previous game. There's a very nice spread of retro tracks covering all the expected genres. The pop and wave material [...]
Heavy snow. Coming your way. NOW... Since you will all be at Hearthrob this Tuesday night to celebrate the glorious sound of music, keep in mind your secondary reason - it's going to snow like ashfall in Hades on Wednesday, so you'd better sow your dancing oats at the Middlesex Lounge on Mass Ave. in Cambridge on the 13th. Fortunately, the tundra should subside by Thursday, allowing the streets

While Shaun has been holding down the front (bringing you you southern bread at its finest) I've been trying to finally finish my undergrad degree. I'm almost done, but hell, I decided to give you a taste of everything I've been listening to recently, but had no time to share(what good would we be if I DIDN'T do that?). So here we go, Hack's monthly selections. . . think of it as an early xmas gift. Malente Brings You a Real Deeajay Mix I stumbled upon this mix a few days ago [...]

Kap10kurt- Danger Seekers Guns And Bomb - Crossover Appeal Turbotito - Loosing their heads Passions - Emergency Curses! - Hungry [...]
A big shout-out to Big Stereo for turning me onto such fine music growing right in my backyard. Passions is the moniker for an anonymous Brooklynite who churns out some killer dirty electro tracks with thick basslines and new wave synths. Check out my favorite track "Emergency" on Passions MySpace page and download his DJ mix below. About halfway through, I predict Christian will loose his shit. Passions DJ's at Fontana's on Wednesday, November 15th with Star Eyes [...]
There was this six month pathetic period of my life where I was totally unemployed and poor and I stayed at home and ate Bon Bons and watched soaps all day. My favorite was Passions because one of the story lines centered around Tabitha (a witch, duh) who would put Timmy (a living doll that was played by a dwarf) in the microwave or washing machine or other household appliances. He also would dance to the VengaBoys' "We Like To Party." I found some weird pleasure in it all. Then Timmy died, and I [...]
I had to post today. I had a deadline of 4pm otherwise I'd have to lash myself with a telescopic antenna or some such. Anyway, first off, with something I've been loving lately from a new duo called Guns'n'Bombs. They're Johnny Love from Opaque (and all sorts of lascivious Chicago sordidness) and Filip from Ima Robot. Firstly, I'm excited because it's a completely storming zipline dropkick slapstick horror of a track. Secondly, I'm excited because Johnny just moved to LA from Chicago and is playing about town, and there's finally people in my area putting [...]
