The Eisenhowers: 1969

The Eisenhowers: 1969 From Glasgow in Scotland. From The Eisenhowers latest album 'Film your own atrocities', we thought that this would be a good song to mark the 40th anniversary of the landing of Apollo 11 on the Moon. Click on the image to the left for some just-released images of the Apollo landing sites taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance [...]

Poptastic

I posted about the masterful pop/glitch fusion act Poptastic back in December, but after checking out their entire album finally, I'm so enamored that I had to post again. Take top 40 radio, insert into chain saw, enjoy! The recipe...

It's Just So Poptastic.

It's Just So Poptastic. Seeland Records is pleased to present The Teen-Pop-Noise Virus , one of the most absurd albums of all-time by Poptastic . The music, like the band itself, was spawned from the warped minds of experimental producers Chris Fitzpatrick and Thomas Dimuzio. At the core of their debut release are twelve intricately mangled songs, but in the spaces between, there is much more. Poptastic's basic concept is accessible and humorous, yet buried in the layers of sound is a complex web of [...]

As always, below you'll find a mix of the week's best new singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from a few up-and-comers you may just want to check out. NEW Singles: [...]

Jamie Lidell at The Forum, Friday 9 January

It might be too early to call this the "Best Gig of 20093 when the only competition from my end was Mystery Jets last Sunday and my performance of "Even Flow" on Guitar Hero the other night, but it's tempting. I'd heard good reports of Jamie Lidell's live shows and the promise of a "5-piece band" got me all excited. There was a good feeling the moment I entered the venue. It turns out that Jamie Lidell has quite a following here in Sydney - much more so that I had realised. In fact, the [...]

Orange Alert's Music Minute

Orange Alert's Music Minute If music notes were colors, Dim Dim would be the brightest rainbow imaginable. Dim Dim is back with its sixth full-length album, Whip (Audio Dregs) and an obsession for all forms of sonic pop culture. Tossing fistfuls of guitar, ukulele, programmed beats, twisted synth and toy instruments into a blender, Dim Dim hits "liquefy", and surfs the sonic mixture as it spills across his musical universe. Deconstructing all things known and leaving a trail of brightly colored debris, Dim Dim has turned his back to the norm and rip-shredded a technicolored path to a genre unknown. [...]

Still fond

Still fond One of my favourite bands of jerky indie popsters are Auckland's Cut Off Your Hands. To my ears, they've got more memorable songs and more charisma than a lot of similar bands. I read a review of their debut album You and I that asked "Do we really need another Kaiser Chiefs?" Probably not, but Cut Off Your Hands are a lot more than a rip-off of better-known artists. Oddly, the album doesn't include the track of the same name, the energetic little number that won over quite a few listeners back in 2006. That disappointment [...]

A song to make you weep

It's absurd to think that I only discovered Josh Rouse in June, considering how much I've become obsessed with him. Maybe it's the easy familiarity of his music. It's not Japanese noisenik tech-house or anything - it's intelligent, laidback pop music of the kind that you and your dad can agree on. This is a serious compliment, as far as I'm concerned.
