With the horizon of a new year seemingly inches away, we're proud to present our best songs of 2011. We have been slaving over albums and hidden tracks for the past month, but now the beginning of our five-part list of the best of the best. 50. The Airborne Toxic Event - Half of Something Else Very similar to 20082s "Sometime Around Midnight", TATE is back with a similar formula and not a bad album either. I guess if you've got the chemistry down, why change it? 49. Radiohead [...]
![[Best of 2011] Rich's List](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3947385_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link Why not create a list that's not limited to albums? Actually, I stole the idea to do a 'Favorites' list from Andy after telling him the struggles of choosing my top 10 albums. Sorry, Andy, but it's a damn fine idea. Perfect for someone so musically indecisive as myself. Instead of having to listen to and rank album after album, I was able to thumb through my mind and rabbit-ear the songs I incessantly repeated, the few [...]
![[Best of 2011] Adam's List](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3945872_lg.jpg)
Tweet vaso link It's hard to tell whether this was a really great year for music or if I was just paying attention more than last year. That sums up my feelings at the end of every year. I don't want to do too much of an introduction because I have quite a bit to say. I'm not putting these releases in any particular order, they are just my favorites. Some I listened to more than others, but putting them [...]
With the horizon of a new year seemingly inches away, we're proud to present our best songs of 2011. We have been slaving over albums and hidden tracks for the past month, but now the beginning of our five-part list of the best of the best. 100. Maritime - Paraphernalia The charmer of Human Hearts held the ethereal appeal from a group we come back to with each new record. The group signed with Dangerbird this year and we only see bright things in their future. [...]
Well, it's that time of the year again where everybody and they mamas drop a list of their favorite albums that came out this past year. I was actually pretty close to not putting together a... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com
Once again we're at that time , faced with the onslaught of the inevitable Year End List, when everyone offers their opinion on what was the Best album, or Best song, or Best video, or Best concert of the year. Everyone jumps at the opportunity to canonize, to rank and file, to highlight what we'll come to remember and leave behind what we'll come to forget. Some of these lists try to say "Here are the Best, period. These speak to the soul of the average, normal, objective person. They delight the most ears. They're [...]
Erika Spring : 6 More Weeks ( Starfucker Remix) - MP3 Après un premier single prometteur, Erika Spring s'apprête à sortir, début 2012, un premier EP en solo, pendant que le projet d'où elle vient, Au Revoir Simone , prend une pause (pas trop longue, on espère!). En attendant d'en savoir plus, savourez le remix electro-pop signé Starfucker de ce premier titre. After a really promising debut single, Erika Spring has announced she [...]

by teepoo Rather than post you some stupidly generic list of albums you are supposed to expect, I think my top 10 is going to be based on the fact I actually listened to these releases the most this year. Come on , if an album is good, it must be one of your top plays right? These are based on stats according to iTunes and Last.fm plays as well as the fact I physically own them. I don't believe in people's top lists if they [...]

My favorite band in the world is playing new years at the crocodile this year with champagne champagne . BALLin' here's the press release: In the past, Portland, OR-based Starfucker (STRFKR) has received almost as much attention for its not-always-accessible moniker as for its immensely accessible dance hooks. But, having flirted briefly with a couple of name changes, the group is now firmly settled on Starfucker and so the focus can [...]

Starfucker, zischt das neidische Mädchen die etwas erfolgreichere Zeitgenossin an der Backstage-Party an. Starfucker, röhrt Jagger im einst gleichnamigen Song über das Auflösen der Sitten, wenn die Hinterbühne zum Hauptschauplatz wird. Starfucker? Die ebenfalls so genannte Band aus Portland, Oregon evoziert mit seinem bunten, mal effeminierten, mal latent ironisch biederen Dasein weder wilde Afterhours, noch testosterongeladene Groupie-Jagd. Wäre aber auch zu einfach. Besonders für ein Kollektiv, das die Bühne früher in Frauenkleidern zu betreten pflegte und derzeit mit einem todernst gemeinten Cover von «Girls Just Wanna Have [...]
It's so cool that volumes one and two of the Best Songs of 2011 mixtape series have been such a huge hit - literally tens of thousands of page views in just a few weeks. Today's mixtape marks the third volume of the top 2011 songs series. If you didn't have a chance yet, it's [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Not to sound too spooky or anything, but Halloween is currently in full swing and so are many of the bands I talk about here. I know, spooky right? But more than that, some are getting ready to tour, currently touring or about to release their best work for me to judge... don't worry, you can judge them too. And speaking of judging, Jesus Ween is also in full swing which is far creepier. But back to my original point, the bands I'm talking about specifically include Washed Out , STRFKR and Owen. Washed Out's new video [...]
For those of you who live in Indy, how great has the music been in this town over the last few weeks? I'm having issues with my camera's memory card which, thanks to a little help from Amazon I think it should be resolved mid next week. I can't believe the last time I posted [...]
![[Introducing] – Big Black Delta](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3806344_lg.jpg)
Tweet I've misplaced my leg-warmers. Normally this wouln't really bother me - quite the opposite - but I feel naked listening to Big Black Delta without them. The solo side-project of Los Angeles-based Mellowdrone's founding member, Jonathan Bates; BBD knocks out dark, retro electronica that suggests more rock bassists ought to take time off from their day-jobs. Having worked with M83 on a remix of Daft Punk 's "Fall" (from the TRON: Legacy OST), he's seen something of a meteoric [...]
Starfucker Today's free MP3 is by Portland's Starfucker and is dance grooved synth pop with a song called Boy Toy .

A lot has happened since last Tuesday... I won 17 TRILLION dollars in the lottery and I now live on the moon in a space bubble made out of the tears of wood elfs. So you can excuse me if I find this weeks list of new albums a little under whelming compared to the last couple of weeks. I guess Bjork is pretty cool and I DO love me some Andrew Bird... maybe I will beam them up here for an impromptu moon concert... Tupac would get a kick out of it I bet! Alejandro [...]
![[Introducing] – Pinemarten](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3750134_lg.jpg)
Tweet If there's one thing I learned from Scooby-Doo, it's that we all like a little bit of mystery in our lives. Realistically, I probably didn't learn anything from Scooby-Doo, but that's all water under the bridge. Pinemarten could certainly qualify as a worthy villain for the gang to face. Hidden identity? Check. A devious plan to take over the world? I'm going to say check, because if dressing in a fish suit and using the abandoned boat house to counterfeit lobster creels counts, [...]
