Did you like how I made you wait for this number 1? I did. ;-) I have noticed through the years that most of the albums from Stars have grown on me. It has always taken some time for me to fall in love, but I always do. I saw them live again this year at the Mayan Theater in downtown LA... I cried. Wait... Let me re-phrase, I flipped the fuck out when they played, 'Your Ex-Lover Is Dead '. So amazing and wonderful to hear and see your favorite song played live and [...]
Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive , Music Appreciation Norman Wong Our friends at AUX TV recently caught up with indie romantics Stars to talk about their "Backlines" video as part of the "Band in a Box" series. "Backlines" features the band -- Amy Millan , Torquil Campbell , Evan Cranley, Pat McGee and Chris Seligman -- performing inside an elaborate diorama with a mechanical tyrannosaurus [...]
My brain had to be hover-craft converted to Future. In this Marty McFly in 2015 scenario, Big Rube plays Goldie Wilson III. While Mike Will Made It is the production equivalent of Gray's Sports Almanac . He has all the answers. It took a minute for Future's aesthetic to really come into clear vision. After "Tony Montana" and "Racks," he might have faded into a slightly more memorable version of Ron Browz. But that would have ignored the Dungeon Family pedigree and an ability to wring emotion out of auto-tune that should ostensibly be impossible. A lot [...]

Aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître, c'est « la fête du football » qui a le plus fait parler de noeuds papillon ces derniers temps! En effet, nombre de joueurs portaient smoking et noeuds papillon à Zurich lundi dernier pour la cérémonie du Ballon d'Or 2012 . Et l'on retiendra bien pendant longtemps le smoking et le noeud papillon à pois assortis de chez Dolce & Gabbana , qu'arborait le quadruple lauréat Lionel Messi - au point que certains journaux comme Le Figaro soulignent le coup de comm' de l'un des sponsors du [...]
Esta banda que tuvimos oportunidad de conocer en el Austin City Limits 2012, coronó un gran año después de haber sacado su disco The North, el cual tuvo muy buena recepción en todos los rincones a donde fueron a presentarlo. Para iniciar bien este 2013, se ha anunciado el nuevo sencillo de dicho disco y [...]
Ali Biddell It hadn't occurred to me until just now, but there's a bit of a parallel between this site, right here, and Wavelength . They got a couple years' head start on me, but both of us spent a solid decade servicing the Toronto independent music community - Wavelength with a weekly concert series that helped introduce the city and the world to much of the amazing music being produced in the 416 and 905, and chromewaves by, um, going to shows and taking pictures. Okay, perhaps the scale is a little different, but both of us also [...]
01. "Sweater Weather" - The Neighborhood "let's have an adventure..." 02. "Blue Jeans" - Lana Del Rey "i know love is mean..." 03. "Something Good" - Alt-J "me forget about you for now..." 04. "Apocalypse Dreams" - Tame Impala "all our dreams come through..." 05. "Madness" - Muse "i can't get these memories out of my mind..." 06. "Some Nights" [...]

The Zolas- Ancient Mars (Light Organ) The Zolas released a viral video with Knot In My Heart , but their entire Ancient Mars album should not be brushed off. Sharp hooks [...]

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone is having a great night ringing in 2013. In case you missed it, I had my radio show on CHUO FM today on New Year's Eve. I had a Matias of Ottawa Showbox be my special guest on the show. There are two phone interviews with Alaska of Yamantaka // Sonic Titan and Jonas Bonnetta of Evening Hymns. Did my countdown of the Top 12 Canadian albums of 2012. (Check Top 12 on here ). [...]

Alright so where were we... our look back at the year's downloadables brings us to the years end.

Starred; Call From Paris Fletcher C. Johnson; Messin' With My Mind Chelsea Wolfe; Tracks (Tall Bodies) F**K Buttons; Olympians So Many Wizards; Lose Your Mind [...]
Como habitual, por cá fica o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana começou com 2 temas alusivos à quadra natalícia, Ramones com "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)", seguido dos The Sonics com "Santa Claus". Passado o dia de Natal e já em modo de registo regular, School of Seven Bells abriu a última semana do ano com "
![Top 50 Songs of 2012 :: [10-2]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4693964_lg.jpg)
Welcome to our annual countdown of the 50 best songs of the calendar year . Songs must be from an EP, LP or demo released during 2012 and no band may appear twice. Today, we count down 10 to 2. 10. A.C. Newman feat. Neko Case - "Not Talking" What separated Newman's 2012 release, Shut Down The Streets , from being a New Pornographers record remained unclear, especially with a Neko Case appearance on the debut single, "Not Talking".

"'Dreams So Real,' which is one of the darkest, greatest things Metric has ever created. It’s one of the boldest musical choices on the album, fit with stripped down instrumentals and deceptively complex composition. This stripped down background works so well because Haines’s words are so honest. 'Have I ever really helped anyone but myself?' she asks." (via Surviving the Golden Age ) ♩ Metric - Dreams So Real [from Synthetica ] (stream on soundcloud) web // facebook // twitter // soundcloud // shows // iTunes [...]
I can't believe that this is the last Friday Remixes of the year. My Broncos look pretty good and quite possibly make a case to make their way to New Orleans for the Super Bowl. I might need to start making hotel reservations to make my way to the Crescent City. The last week of the NFL season and the playoff picture will start to clear up. Here's to hoping the Colts play their starters the whole game versus the Texans. Passion Pit - Carried Away (Les Professionnels Remix) [...]
![Best of 2012: Remixes [Top 12]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4692200_lg.jpg)
Last year was the first time that I did a "Best of" Remixes. So why not do it again this year. I am a sucker for songs being remixed and probably giving a bit of life to. You may agree or disagree on this list. Besides it might make you dance to it. So here it is my Top 12 Remixes of 2012. 1. Florence + The Machine - Spectrum (Say My Name) [Calvin Harris Remix] [...]
