En esta era moderna de la comunicación musical, en la cual podemos ver o escuchar actuaciones de nuestros artistas favoritos en todos lados, es muy difícil destacar cuando intentas hacer una plataforma para lograrlo. En la redacción de RockandRadio se le tiene un cierto aprecio al Late Night de Jimmy Fallon, mismo que, nos gustaría [...]
La vorágine de especulaciones terminó y el cónclave organizador del Corona Capital 2013 reveló de manera muy original el cartel oficial de este año mediante un video en reversa que develó una a una todas las bandas que la Ciudad de México verá tocar en vivo.

Phoenix. Por: @christianxrojas Phoenix regresará a México después de 3 años y al igual que el resto del mundo, hemos sido testigos de espectacular y repentino crecimiento. Hoy, los franceses, ya tienen un amplio repertorio que abarca cinco álbumes de estudio en trece años. Son más de 50 canciones y, para celebrar su visita a nuestro país como parte del Corona Capital 2013 , hemos seleccionado las 15 mejores y que esperemos que suenen en octubre próximo. 15.- “Run Run [...]

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince said summer was time to sit back and unwind . Lyte Funky Ones thought it was fly when girls stopped by for the summer. Craig Finn's perfect summer involved drinking on top of water towers . However you spend the most effervescent of seasons though, you'll want a mix of sun-soaked indie bangers to soundtrack your summer memories. So we've taken The Hold Steady's advice and built something this summer, and it's the 4th volume of our Summer (Or What It Sounds Like) Mix. Click [...]

Photography by Nate Cover Like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs , Phoenix has the right idea when it comes to a setlist: although they're currently supporting their latest effort, Bankrupt! , which only came out a few weeks ago, they understand the importance of sticking to what their audience wants to hear, which is why I was beyond pleased that they ended up playing the entirety of 20102s Wolgang Amadeus Phoenix , the majority of their latest release, along with pre- Wolfgang tracks "Too Young" [...]

La música siempre tuvo un toque personal en los films de Sofía Coppola . Después de convocar a Kevin Shields para escribir los temas de Lost in Translation ( 2003 ) y a Phoenix , la banda de su marido Thomas Mars , para Somewhere (2010), la nueva película de la cineasta incluirá un impresionante line up a cargo del compositor Brian Reitzell . El soundtrack de [...]

Bankrupt! , the latest from Phoenix has been out for a bit now and one of the standout tracks is "Trying To Be Cool" that the band has been parading around to live television performances. Recently, San Francisco's Silver Swans revealed their atmospheric reworking of the song taking away some of the "cool" vibes of the song in favor of a more relaxed vibe. You can stream the remix below and download it here .
Suicide Sundaes - Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen, Sunday is back. Greg and Thom are here to bring you the week's dirty servings, and some old favorites through a throwdown-throwback to simpler times. A time when bangers were big, remixes were bigger, the bassline bled, and we didn't care about anything as long as came in kicking and left screaming. Hang on to your seat because Greg and I have gathered a massive and brutal selection for this week's Suicide Sundae. Why? Just for you to satisfy this hunger for music and to get [...]

Sun; pouring rain; more sun; more pouring rain - the Sweetlife Festival definitely had its share of weird early summer weather. But none of that detracted from the experience that was had listening to the bands playing there last Saturday. If anything, the pouring rain added to the religious experience - especially during Phoenix's set. One after another, amazing artists played at main stage, ensuring that no one would give up their seats along the pavilion - that is, until it started pouring. Though I have never previously listened to [...]

Je publie à peu de choses près un remix par an sur Le Choix, autant vous dire qu'il faut vraiment qu'il ait quelque chose de spécial pour que je vous en parle ! La plupart des remixes ont pour moi l'air d'être une sorte d'arrangement différent des différentes pièces qui composent le morceau original, avec un rythme différent. Je sais bien que c'est souvent plus que ça, mais ça me laisse de marbre. Bref, Run Hither , artiste et producteur, membre de BSMS (pas mal non plus d'ailleurs), a réussi là où beaucoup échouent en [...]

For a few years now, LA-based duo Michael David and Tyler Blake – Classixx to you and me – have been remixing. Phoenix , The Gossip , Active Child and The Ting Tings are among the outfits to have had songs treated to the pair’s summer-softened, bliss-exhaling interpretations and it’s been clear from these that David and Blake are two producers pleasantly in thrall to the atmospheric loveliness of their home state, and the musical possibilities it suggests. This summer, [...]

I feel this post and every one to follow is coming as a necessity. We had a weekly mix that we used to do that we seem to have forgotten about so here I am here to reinstate it. Basically what this will be is a weekly re-cap of all our favorite tracks of the week, of any genre, new releases and the occasional re-discovered gem. This week's mix will be a collection of tracks from the past couple of weeks. Most noteworthy tracks are the three of my favorite songs off Random Access Memories , Baauer [...]

Le prochain film de Sofia Coppola , The Bling Ring , fait déjà beaucoup parlé de lui. Outre sa présentation en ouverture du Festival de Cannes qui se déroule ces jours-ci, le film marque également par sa bande originale qui frappera nos disquaires quelques jours avant la sortie officielle du film dans les salles obscures le 12 Juin. On retrouve sur cette compilation un excellent panel d'artistes qui ont marqué nos derniers mois d'actu à l'image de M.I.A. , Kanye West , Sleigh Bells , Azealia Banks , Phoenix , [...]

In case the overwhelming lack of lounging around time hasn't tipped you off, festival season is upon us, in a big way. And last week, our former festival-that-could known as Austin City Limits revealed it's now two-week spanning lineup, full of up-and-comers and big-namers to boot. (Did I meet my dash quota in that sentence – I'm not sure). This year's lineup, while polarizing to many, boasts some of my favorites, from some Columbia grads who made it big (Vampire Weekend), to a fiery-haired musical heroine (Neko Case), to the band that shaped my college years (Wilco), to [...]

Hello everyone! The photo above is a crane I saw at Canary Wharf in London. ( download the high res version ) Not sure why I picked it today, it just felt right. Things have been a mess around here lately because @DorothyJS and I have been travelling so much. So my apologies for the weak performance. Sometimes work, travel, and having fun get in the way of running this website. Back in the day when only a few of you we're listening it didn't matter. But now that there are thousands of people listening each [...]
