Here's the second post of the day, carefully yet pathetically designed to boost my cool ratings. Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you one of the hottest bands of the moment - The Death Set ! I first came across this Baltimore (by way of Australia) band on an obscure compilation over a year ago called 50 minutes . The premise was simple - 50 tracks, each about a minute long. Given the sheer number of songs, the quality was inevitably variable, but among the few good 'uns there was one [...]
The Deathset's last release, Rad Warehouses, Bad Neighborhoods, was quite possibly the funnest 15 minutes of music put to disc in 07. It sounded just as the title would imply -- quick, rabid, wild, electronic punk anthems made for bouncing off the basebent walls of underground clubs. Well, at least it was the funnest 15 minutes of music until one fateful day, as I was minding my own business, jamming to The Deathset at my home away from home (also known as the cube) when a yellow jacket bit me on the elbow. Quickly, 15 minutes of [...]
I told you about The Death Set last summer . I told you that they were the antithesis of boring, and I wasn't kidding. In the wrong hands, the music these dudes create could easily cause physical injury. The drum-box driven electro-punksters are currently in the midst of a huge tour that will touch down all over Europe, and when SXSW rolls around they will be right here in Austin to supply us all with a big sweaty dance party. Be prepared. Up until now the Sydney-to-Baltimore transplants have strictly released EPs and 7-inches, but the big [...]
The Good: Casettes Won't Listen - "Paper Float"; We've been waiting for an album from Casettes Won't Listen for a long time now, and we're finally going to get one. This is the first single off of it, and it lives up to all the potential the New York blogs have buzzed about for the last couple years. Aster - "Attempting to Multiply"; I've been listening to the new Aster album for a couple of
I think my first introduction to The Death Set was this past summer with Bang Gang's Light Sound Dance disc - probably later than some of you cool kids, but Rad Warehouses Bad Neighborhoods has been hanging out with my ears since then... My ear tends to migrate towards poppier sounds - "Negative Thinking" being not as hard as some of the Death Set's previous songs. Still brash and edgy and all that, though: THE DEATHSET - "NEGATIVE THINKING" "Impossible" might [...]

Ways to impress us: swear gratuitously, be from Baltimore, be a dirty punk rocker, play/break shitty keyboards, rampage through short, sharp gigs that are 50% sweat, 50% bar room brawl make 2-minute wonderjams in which you turn your curse-riddled name into a clarion call. Ladies and gentlemen, THE MOTHERFUCKING DEATH SET. See them at Electrowerkz or Bardens on 15/02.
d/l: THE DEATH SET - Negative Thinking (James Stovall remix) ( YSI ) ------------------------------ ------------------------------ --- Ok, so The Death Set may be totally so 2007, and this remix doesn't have the Dan Deacon or Bonde do Role brand to push it to the people. However, if you're observant enough to notice the " CLICK HERE FOR OLDER REMIXES " link on their site, your ears [...]
3. LCD Soundsystem Sound of Silver; I've listened to LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver a lot this year. I don't know the exact number but I'd say a minimum of once a week since it was released in March. That's pretty impressive in itself, but even more impressive is the fact that I don't think I've skipped a single track when listening to this album. It's rare these days that you find an album
I know you're just dying to get into the fridge, pull out the tupperware, and make yourself a "moist maker". Make sure you put some cranberry sauce on it too, the kind that comes out of a can. I'm all turkey'd out, so you're not getting anything else outta me for the rest of the [...]
Playing gigs with Dan Deacon and Girl Talk will most likely get your band some attention. It certainly did for Australian band The Death Set (now living in Baltimore) who have been getting some blog press lately. The delightful weirdos over at 20 Jazz Funk Greats turned me onto these raucous, video-game inspired screw-heads. Their music zig-zags across the themes of positivity, egotism and irritation. Just what you need. This post has: 1 Image 2 MP3's
Professor Pez er indiepopp sveit frá Bergen í Noregi. Sveitin var stofnuð árið 2001 af Petter Saetre sem þá hafði nýverið fengið gítar í jólagjöf. Þótt hann kynni ekkert á gripinn þá fór það í taugarnar á honum að allir vinir hans voru í hljómsveit og ekki hann. Tveimur mánuðum seinna var hann búinn að berja saman sínu fyrsta lagi og fékk vin sinn til að spila með sér og taka nokkur lög upp á fjögurra rása upptökutæki. Þeir spiluðu svo í afmælum og fámennum klúbbum í Bergen og smám saman bættust við meðlimir uns sveitin [...]
October has proven to be a significant month for our beloved, but ailing industry. The search to unearth a viable business model for the digital age continues, though we now have a few glimpses of what the future may hold. Radiohead's release of In Rainbows independently, through their own website and for a price determined by the buyer has been hailed both as a typically brazen revolt against convention and an inspired new method for monetisation of recorded material. Personally, I'm in agreement on the former but I feel that on the latter the [...]
Black Before Red Belgrave to Kings Circle I Eat Records 2007 Belgrave to Kings Circle by Austin's Black Before Red is the type of album I thought I was getting with the new New Pornographers disc -- 11 pop songs with hardly a throwaway in the set ranging in sound from collaborative Canadian indie pop ("Underneath Gold" and "Bossa Nova #7"), classic Beach Boys and Beatles style songwriting ("Matagorda") to American indie pop in the vein of The Apples in Stereo ("Waiting for the Bang.") And unlike that Canadian supergroup who [...]

Here's a quick list of things that have been in rotation around here. If I had time to write a bunch of pretty things I certainly would, but there are many things to do. So have a listen, and if anything sounds good just follow the link to find out the rest. Ivan Ives - "Victory" (feat. Vast Aire) myspace.com/ivanives Aesop Rock - "None Shall Pass" [...]
For those of you who are scared to go to Todd P shows (you know, 'cause the kids are running wild) and other non-traditional venues, here's your chance to see the super-fun duo The DeathSet on an actual stage --...
Japanther . Two dudes from Brooklyn who like their noise-punk-rock fast and intense, and on their latest effort they make sure that you won't be forgetting their name any time soon. Skuffed Up My Huffy is the name of the new album, and it contains the blueprints for your next great party. Energy-infused punk rock originates from the duo's shared vocals, Matt Reily's lo-fi-fuzzed bass lines, and Ian Vanek's chest thumping drum beat. Add in a bit of intelligent sampling, a Casio SK-1, a light dusting of hip-hop and a few servings of controlled chaos, and [...]
Earlier this week I received word about yet another exciting act who call Baltimore home. They're called The Death Set, and they have an album coming out next week via Morphius titled Rad Warehouses Bad Neighborhoods . It immediately caught my attention when I first turned it on, and I've found myself listening to it over and over again to shake cobwebs of dull music out of my ears. They sound like The Go! Team jacked up on Red Bull and meth. Basically, the antithesis of boring. I would recommend taking a listen to the [...]
