Surprise, surprise: director Sofia Coppola ( Lost in Translation , The Virgin Suicides ) has put together another hip-as-hell soundtrack for tweens, teens, and shattered twentysomethings. This time around, she's snagged the likes of Kanye West , Frank Ocean , deadmau5 , M.I.A. , Sleigh Bells , Azealia Banks, Can (!), and her hubby's band, Phoenix , whose tunes will sugarcoat her latest picture, The Bling Ring . What's more, she's recruited Oneohtrix Point Never's Daniel Lopatin to score the film. For this project, Lopatin's again working [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-15T12:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4951694/graph-rabbit-snowblind-videos/

same day payday loans There's an enormous stack of electronic pop duos around. We get emailed a new one every week it seems, but few make the grade. You can take Eurythmics as the starting point and meander through various successful reincarnations ever since, but it's an understatement to say that most miss the standards set by Lennox and Stewart some thirty years ago. So what is considered a good and bad standard? What is it that lifts something from just being that [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-29T18:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4921613/mashup-monday-week-139/

On Tumblr, kids tend to flow through photos that they think are funny, cute, or artistic, or will just make them look cool. Its a funny site and it has taken a liking to many artists, especially CHARLI XCX . The British songstress has been making music that has been described as goth-pop, but that is a very loose description. Her debut album True Romance will be hitting our shores this month, and its a light-hearted album full of dance tracks with the hint of pop.

While Friday night everywhere is about going to parties and getting too inebriated to accurately recall the course of the evening, that sense of hedonism always gets heightened when you're at South by Southwest . But while a huge chunk of ATX was chugging $11 beers and hitting that most wacky of tobaccy, Consequence of Sound was indulging in its own solitary drug of choice: music. Based on some of our choices, from a mid-'90s Southern rapper sensation to a riotous English psych-punk band, you might think we were the one's on drugs.

On the 29th of November 1999, Atari Teenage Riot played the last concert of their yearlong Revolution Action World Tour at the Brixton Academy in London. Though the band members had become physical wrecks from the endless touring, studio recording sessions and drugs, they decided to extend the European tour and agreed to the concert request by the American band, Nine Inch Nails.

To every friend I have had, there is a matching song that reminds me of them. There are quintessential albums which our 15 year old selves sat around and analyzed, thinking we sounded smarter than we actually were. There were random songs like Mista Mista by the Fugees in which my friend Jared played it repeatedly to me because he knew how much I hated it. Now every time I hear it I smile ridiculously. I am lucky enough to be a part of a group of 15 that gets the base of who I am and adores music just [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-25T14:51:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4799124/tv-soundtrack-girls-season-1-ft-lcd-soundsystem-sleigh-bells/
What happens when you mix Sex In the City with once struggling writer Lena Dunham and throw in a side of Judd Apatow? You get HBO's hit comedy-drama Girls. Girls follows the exploits of Hannah Horvath (played by Dunham) as she navigates the world of trying to make it as a writer in New York City with her three friends (Jessa, Marnie, and Shoshana). Now I know this sounds a bit like that other show featuring four female friends that was featured on HBO, but that's where the comparisons end.

Ive gotten pretty into Lena Dunhams Girls recently. I dont want to get mired into the whole self-indulgent display of white privilege vs. biting satire debatesomething I myself havent decided definitively onbut given Girls fairly honest portrayal of what we would broadly term hipster culture, the shows relationship with music is interesting and potentially instructive for us denizens of alternative music fandom. At first glance, its easy to read Girls use of acts like Camera Obscura and Sleigh Bells as something akin to its costume choices, [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-04T21:33:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4760019/sleigh-bells-comeback-kid/
Or maybe the more faint of heart should think of it as Rain of Ketchup ... One of the things you find out quickly when starting out as a music blogger is that there is intense competition to be the first to break some new group, or be the first to feature the latest album by an already broken but still-considered-hip group. And you can either bow to the pressure and spend all your free time keeping up with the latest releases - and believe me, it takes either a lot [...]]]> text/html 2013-02-04T17:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4759459/the-15-best-indie-duos-in-music-right-now/
Duos in music are nothing new, but it seems like indie duos are having a moment right now. Some of the best music out there is coming from groups with two core members, and while they may go on tour with full bands or collaborate with producers and musicians to fully form their sound, its the magical combination of two creative forces that make these acts what they are. It's all about balance, like the classic and timeless PB&J. The sweetness from the jelly is cut down by the earthiness of the peanut butter and together, they make for [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-30T03:56:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4749488/alright-then/
