Porcelain Raft From: London, United Kingdom The blogosphere has gone nuclear over Porcelain Raft, the solo recording project of Mauro Remiddi, once of cosmoplitan multi-continental psych pop outfit Sunny Day Sets Fire (featured on the Devil's blog way back in 2008 Here Comes Summer ) . Take one listen to the fantastic Fools (see video below) and you can see why the blogs are all agog. Mauro sculpts delicate, dreamy soundscapes out of the finest [...]
Ah, the beautiful heat of a sweltering New Jersey summer. It doesn't get more wonderful than that. For everyone who whines about the humidity all summer long, just remember your whining when you're stuck inside because of the snow drift that covers your car in February. A little sweat does everyone some good. And a little sun never hurt anyone. I may have almost died of heat stroke when I went for a run on a crazy hot day when I got back from Scotland in May, but that didn't deter me. The hotter the better, I say. Even while [...]
It's tax day! Argggh! Why not go out in style tonight in Baltimore by heading over to Sonar to check Ladytron, The Faint, Figo, and Crocodiles. Or how about kickin' it at the Ottobar ? They have two sweet events (one upstairs/one downstairs). Upstairs Scion/iheartcomix present Dirty South Joe (Brick Bandits) & Nick The V (Mad Decent) with a special listening party of the new Yeah Yeah Yeah's record It's Blitz presented by the FADER. Downstairs Stereo Total, Leslie and the LY's, and Guns Garcia perform. Also in town are Hollywood who take on the [...]

Ugens Hvis musik var... starter stille og roligt med den 18-årige charmerende Béatrice Martin aka. Coeur de Pirate , efterfulgt af The Decemberists utrolig smukke nummer Sleepless fra Dark Was The Night compilation'en og som en forsinket valentines gave har vi den akustiske udgave af If He [...]
The Golden Filter - Solid Gold | Peter, Bjorn & John - Lay It Down (The Golden Filter Remix) I know I've used this excuse countless times, but yes, once again, I have completely ignored an great group/band/artist, just because I "don't have time" to listen to everything without having to sit in front of this screen for 8 hours a day. I won't bore you with my lame excuses and I'll just cut to the chase. 6 months ago, The Golden Filter was this very mysterious, very DIY type of band. Since then, the Golden [...]
Pop outfit Sunny Day Sets Fire are set to release their debut album "Summer Palace" in the UK on February 23rd 2009. Their "Adrenaline" EP is set to drop on February 9th and features this remix from Spank Rock producer XXXChange . Sunny Day Sets Fire - Adrenaline (XXXChange remix) (YSI) Sunny Day Sets Fire - Adrenaline (XXXChange remix) (Sharebee)
Though we all love Spank Rock for his untouchable lyrics and unique flow, there's oh-so-much to be said for Xxxchange , one of the Spank Rock DJs, as well. As if that even needed typing. You should've gotten his remix of Sunny Day Sets Fire's "Adrenaline" when they released their Stranger E.P. on IAMSOUND . But if you didn't, feel free to grab it here. And don't mess up this time - buy the Summer Palace full-length when it drops in late February. Sunny Day Sets [...]
Tell me, what did you expect to see when you came in here? Exotic drinks, fairy cloaks, magic tricks to steal? Did you come to meet a dreamer, yes, or something more? Did you want strings attached? Well I cut them all. From a trio creating rock'n'roll and dicso blues in between, Sunny Day Sets Fire evolved to a psychedelic pop quintet band. +/- Collectively hailing from Italy, Hong Kong, Sardinia, England and Canada; Sunny Day Sets Fire built a nest in East London and began working on their debut album, [...]
Do you have any idea how hard it is to pick out any reasonable number of favorite songs for the past year? My music library widened exponentially this year. After sifting through and picking out 20 songs, I realized my list is rather representative of my entire collection. Here are the songs that were burned into my ear drums this year (in no certain order): 1. Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes (XXXChange Remix) - This remix is better than the original 2. The Magnetic Fields - Drive on Driver [...]
Tuesday, December 2, 2008 There were no comments yesterday so I'm going to assume that you're all with me and not appalled to the point of silence. Here's part two. Enjoy. - 40 Through 31 - 40) : Times New Viking - Drop Out : While I find their album to be overly loud and cluttered at times, I really love their fuzzed-out style when it's working like it is in here, where it sounds [...]
Friday: This week have been about two things. First figuring out what to do next week, yeah, haha. Start searching a new job, move to an other town or just lay back and enjoy having some time off for a while. Second, prepare the day of tomorrow at Scharinska, we're really looking forward to it. If it's even close to last time it will make me very happy. It's always tricky with these kind of arrangements because you know how much time you and your friend have pushed in to it and you're really hoping that people will have fun, [...]

The art of a good remix is hard to define - while adding some 4/4 beats to any ol' song and chopping up the vocals may be generic, it also still has undoubtedly produced some great remixes. Other great remixes, can come from taking a small bit of a song and basically inserting it as a sample in a completely new song so that it is only moderately recognizable. This one, though, CSS 's remix of Sunny Day Sets Fire 's "Wilderness" does neither of those. It takes an originally existing [...]

Well, I've already written about Sunny Day Sets Fire recently, but seems as though they've been busy since I wrote that post a couple of weeks ago. As fate would have it they've been giving songs out for remixes. Enter CSS. While CSS's latest album( Donkey ) isn't quite as good as their debut was, their remixes continue to kick some serious arse. That's the case with their Sunny Day Sets Fire remix of Wilderness. It's a killer tune that sounds like Pink Floyd circa 1970 meets Of Montreal on pills flying through space like a [...]
With all of this week's festival coverage , we didn't have much extra time to check out some of many new tunes. So putting together this week's edition was not only enjoyable, but a nice chance to catch up on anything we missed.
