Our 300th post, and final guest Best Of 2009 comes from Dr Roddy (aka Cat Head). The good Doctor is a cook, a Marcus Waring disciple, a Leeds Utd fan (good win away at Stockport yesterday - Edgeley Park is always a difficult place to go apparently), a bringer of fuel, and can often be found in the very finest restaurants. Like his flat mate Chris T Popper, Dr Roddy loves his music.Over to you ...
Kypod's Top 20 of the naughty naughts..In no particular order, albeit very personal and therefore probably very biased — like my vagabond comrades, this handful of brings back very distinct memories representing chapters from this decade of my life. Hope you find something in this bunch that you enjoy as much as I did: 1. Gotye - Hearts a mess (2006) 2. Radiohead - 2+2=5 (2003) 3. RHCP - The Zephyr Song (2002) 4. Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor (2005) 5. Angus and Julia [...]
It's Chris T Popper's turn now. Office stalwart, Foghorn Leghorn impersonator, charmer, exaggerator, tea maker, ten pin bowling loser, and Pop Master contestant extraordinaire.Once more, without further ado...Firstly I think I need to try and give you an idea of why my list contains the songs they do and explain some of my influences this year. In March I took my first trip to America and the

Post by Jake Goldsmith To call Canyons! 'just another Australian Indie-Dance duo' would be an understatement of the highest order. Leo Holiday and Ryan Sea-Mist are everything and 'just another Australian Indie-Dance duo', musically that is. Originally hailing from Perth (now based in Sydney), these two blokes are much different than their Aussie Dance Pop peers-The Avalanches, Van She, Cut Copy, and The Presets; from lo-fi dub-house to indie-rock to ambient psychedelic funk, the genre-bending sounds churned out of the minds of the newcomers are highly intuitive and refreshingly spontaneous. Holiday and Sea-Mist each uphold [...]
He aquí la segunda entrega de la recopilación del mes de noviembre, llegando así a la onceava publicación que trae para ustedes la música que a través de cada mes nos parece interesante, nos hace bailar, nos recuerda tiempos pasados o que simplemente nos gusta y creemos que a ustedes también les puede agradar.Esperemos que a lo largo de estos 11 meses haya sido de su agrado y que si tienen
Remember this song? "Remember Me"? Do you remember me posting "Remember Me" a little while ago ? Remember? Well, Australian psychedelic rockers Tame Impala released a cover of it a few months ago. Just thought I might post it just in case you missed it then. Download: Remember Me (Blue Boy Cover) - Tame Impala (Right [...]

Happy Monday everybody ! To start this week as well as we finished the last one: Grizzly Bear's last video "Ready, Able"; Tame Impala - "Half Full Glass of Wine"; No Age wants us to sweat a little on their music...; and the bonus: a list of 783 legendary albums to listen to... on Spotify.
We all know summer means music festivals. We also all hopefully know that Australia celebrates summer when we're battling winter. So it makes senses that with Australia's summer quickly approaching, many of the country's major music events are starting to finalize their 2010 festivities, the first being Big Day Out . For its 18th edition, Australia's largest outdoor music event has tapped the likes of Muse, The Decemberists, The Mars Volta, the newly unretired Lily Allen, Peaches, Rise Against, Mastodon, Kasabian, Dizzee Rascal, Powderfinger, Ladyhawke, the Horrors, and Girl Talk. However, as [...]

Here down under, we are currently blessed with spring and can't help from dancing in sun dappled meadows , frolicking without a care alongside our busy rabbit brothers and sisters...er...did somebody speak, I must have went into a dream. Actually here in the city of Sydney there are no rabbits but rats and most of us are just scurrying around in the trash and grime as usual with perhaps a sparkle in the odd still young eye and in the famed outback any rabbits that haven't yet died of thirst are likely [...]

I was recently lucky enough to be able to send through some questions to Canyons to get the low down on this enigma and what's happening in the near future. 1. Your Myspace is quite the puzzle can you give our readers the rundown on who you guys are and how Canyons came about? Canyons came about after we started our little record label 'Hole In The Sky'. We didn't have a distributor so we sent out cds (to distributors) with a bunch of our tracks with made up names as the artists so [...]

I first owned this Blue Boy song on Hit Machine 17 from 1997. I could not be loving the Tame Impala cover more. When your album comes out Tame Impala, I may just die. Blue Boy - Remember Me Tame Impala - Remember Me So good. If you're into covers, remakes, re-hashes and all things borrowed and stolen, you should listen to Tune Up on Fbi radio ( here ) on Tuesdays from Midday-1pm because it's a show full [...]

Image by ARTEMIS for Hobogestapo @ Controversy II with DJ Kaos & Knightlife. Just adding to my post last week featuring DJ Agent 86 ; he's been kind enough to share his amazing remix of the classic Pink Floyd anthem 'Another Brick In The Wall' . You'll be happy to know that he doesn't steer away from the original much at all, only to amplify the bassline, keeping in tact David Gilmour's famous guitar solo. (This is light years away from that murderous Eric Prydz remix of the same tune [...]
Découvert grâce à Thibault, qui m'avait proposé le clip de "Half Full Glass of Wine" , voici un groupe australien de rock psychédélique, les joliment nommés Tame Impala . C'est délicieusement rétro, avec des influences jazzy et surtout un groove... mmmh... j'vous laisse découvrir ça avec "Sundown Syndrome", leur dernière chanson en date. Allez voir leur MySpace et écouter leur premier album sur Deezer . [Pour écouter sans télécharger, allez visiter l'article] Tweet this post ___ Share on Facebook ___ [...]

In this podcast, we bring you tracks from the best Oz music we found on our trip plus interviews with some really nice people we met who are doing good things for music in Australia. Aoife Mc is your podhost as always. Soundcloud player, tracklisting [...]

Many might not know there is a wonderful magic brew well...brewing in the isolated balmy sands of Perth in Western Australia. Even us unjustified snobs over on the east coast of the same country are forced to admit this wonder over the horizon. I am not going to begin to compare/contrast the Australian east coast moody indie rock, hip hop and electronica with the fresh psych rock flowering going on in the west - all I can say is that for a lad raised on the joys of cream and Hendrix, the modern take on this freeform kicking rock'n'psych is [...]

now we are tradehooks. com does that mean we sold out to the internet? Tame Impala being vino optimists at Towradgi Beach Hotel Recorded on my Nokia e71, best phone for taking video in concerts
Here are a couple of tunes from bands that are new to me, but have caught my ears over the past few days.The first is Tailgunner Joe & The Earls of Slander who I came across when browsing the web idly as happens sometimes. I liked the name so I tried the song and found myself thoroughly enjoying it this morning when walking the dog. It's what we called at school 'heavy'!The other is a band I

Canyons DJ/producer duo Leo Holiday and Ryan Seamist , together known as Canyons , threw their lot in with the Modular crew and signed to the record label last week, joining ranks with the Presets, Cutters and Tame Impala (also originally from Perth, who Canyons have released a split 12" with). And besides this, they already had their own record label, Hole in the Sky , to release whatever kind of shit they want to, as well as a 12" being [...]
