The Strokes' Is This It - a.k.a. the best album of the 2000s and the 54th best album ever - turns 10 years old on July 30th, 2011. To celebrate, Stereogum.com tradition of worthy tribute albums (i.e. Radiohead's OK Computer , R.E.M.'s Automatic For The People , and Bjork's Post ) by issuing one for the UK version of Julian Casablancas and Co.'s 2001 debut. Available as a free download at this link , [...]
As they have done with OK Computer, Automatic for the People and Bjork's Post, Stereogum has commissioned a tribute album to the Strokes' Is This It, called Stroked, that features a cadre of indie acts covering all of the tracks from Is This It. You can download it over here . Highlights? By far the best is Heems' interpretation of "New York City Cops," in which he goes wild rapping about people who were beaten or killed by New York City cops. Morning Benders' cover of "Last Night" [...]

"Drugs" is the rollicking quasi-titular track from White Denim's newest set, D , which was released earlier this spring. The track was made even more drugged-out by Bjorn Yttling from everyone's favorite whistling Swedes, Peter, Bjorn & John .

Bjorn, from Swedish trio Peter, Bjorn and John has taken White Denim 's "Drug" for a spin. Different songs about drugs, just like different drugs themselves, can create a range of feelings and effects ranging from tensed up and energetic to hazy and euphoric. But the thing about drug songs is that they have to make you feel something . If a song about drugs doesn't create some kind of shift in the way you're feeling, it's much like that first (and hopefully last) time you realized you bought a bag of oregano. A waste. [...]
For your weekend enjoyment here is an obscure playlist that strangely works. Kicked off with two artists that we've been holding on to, Alex Winston and Dark Mean are certainly up-and-comers in the indie pop world. They will very likely show up on StB again very soon. Veteran party starter Calvin Harris's new jam never [...]

Last week I posted twelve of my recent favourite tracks , seven of which were by Californians, earning the mixtape the name California Sunrise . It varied from electropop to reggae and soca-infused funk and there's an equal variety to be found in part 2 of the Summer mixtape series. If part 1 was the build-up, then part 2 is the break-down. I've tried to stack this mix with a few more mellow jams on the back-end, to pair with those inevitable late-July lamentations of the "summer's half over already!" variety. Youth Lagoon is a fantastic band name [...]

Strap on your shufflin' shoes and make sure to stretch 'cause this list is an unmerciful messenger delivering jams of the highest quality. Some of these remixes have been banned by certain unenlightened govern ments for igniting dance parties and group high-fives so share with care. This edition is chock full of TBE Remix alums and a few newbies shaking things up. Everyone's favorite, Passion Pit, nab two spots while newbie Star Slinger clinches two more. In a massive non-surprise, RAC takes a heavy slice of this pie with a full 5 slots. Hey, it's not my fault the guy is a genius. Stay [...]

Grab the RAC remix of "Second Chance", the 1st single from Peter Bjorn & John's latest & 6th studio album, Gimme Some. "Second Chance (RAC Mix)" |... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
Peter, Bjorn and John blasted into the mainstream in 2006 with their instantly familiar track, "Young Folks" and have continued to work at staying in the forefront. Their latest release, Gimme Some , brings the band back to basics and gives a fresh sound to the veteran band. B-Sides host, Pete Mar, had a moment to chat with Peter Moren about the band's recent work and their love for the City by The Bay.
If you told me a couple years ago that I would be raving about a pop band from Sweden, I would have thought you were crazy. Yet that is exactly what has happened. It probably shouldn't be that shocking, considering the other great music being exported from country lately, like Miike Snow and Little Dragon . I was late to the Peter Bjorn and John party, I discovered them randomly on Pandora in late 2009. I have been a fan ever since. So [...]
It's time for our annual Summer Edition of Commercial Watch , where I again highlight some of the songs that those indie-saavy marketing folks are harvesting for mass consumption. Since I realize most of you are the Hulu / DVR / next-day-on-youtube type, you've probably been blissfully unaware of the beer, car, and shoe ads that have been lighting up TV screens, so I've dug up some of the best ones for you. Lucky for you, the past few months have seen a surplus in indie music in commercials so there's quite a bit more ads then here I [...]
