One of the most entertaining podcasts, hands down. This will entertain almost anyone, and to you electronic fans, Deadmau5 gets the chance to go in depth about his music, his peers, and a whole bunch of other behind the scenes info. Even from my point of view of someone who doesn't even listen to electronic music, I found this dude VERY interesting. Proof that everyone needs to be open to everything, especially in the world we live in today.
What's that, Radio One? Your big weekend in going to be in East London this summer ? Yes, that's a brilliant idea. It's not like every bloody thing else is happening in East London this summer, is it? I'm still at a loss as to how it makes everyone feel like the Olympics is a nation event when it's acting like a giant magnet that just sucks everything, inexorably, back into the capital. Anyway, line-up: Plan B. Jessie J. Andy C. And some people with full surnames. -- [...]
The Olympics - apparently some sort of superannuated sports day - was already a major part of the decision for Glastonbury to take a year off; Now it's claimed the Big Chill as well : The Big Chill festival's Melvin Benn, Managing Director Festival Republic, said he considered changing the date of the festival but admitted he also faced problems of artist availability: "It is with a considerable amount of regret that I have decided not to go ahead with The Big Chill in 2012. "I looked long and hard late last year at moving [...]

It's videos like this that wasteful Friday afternoons are made for. BBC show This Week decided to announce the news that Underworld had been named the musical directors of the 2012 Olympics in a rather.... unique way. After cracking a few jokes about the film Trainspotting and "performance enhancing drugs", Underworld's most well-known track Born Slippy played WHILST THE GUESTS RAVED IN THEIR CHAIRS. Yes. Really. On a show about politics. The presenter, Andrew Neil, comedian Andi Osho and MICHAEL FUCKING PORTILLO AND JACQUI SMITH ACTUALLY HAVE A LITTLE RAVE. Check out the video, oh and [...]

Last year they were shortlisted for a Breakspoll award on a collaboration with PAL big cheese Myagi for 'Rock One' and recently they've been featured at the Beijing and Vancouver Olympics and have just come off a 2 month tour showcasing their gypsy-glitch sound at coast to coast dates that included Shambhala Music Festival, Evolve Music Festival, and Burning Man. This [...]
Back for a second successive Ambient Sunday is Ghost Olympics. Last week was plaintive guitar. This time it's a more conventional ambient tune for you to download. Ready For Six is slow paced, dreamlike, distorted music. It does have some of the simple melody from lullabys but with a slightly hallucinogenic quality. So, it's no surprise that this is music intended to make you nod off. He says "It's droney, hissy, bongy and tinkly - all the noises that make the head happily heavy. You can't just be boring though - I think sleep music [...]
London's ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower has just been completed . It was being built for the 2012 London Olympics - not unlike Paris' Eiffel Tower, which was built for a World's Fair. By the way, this thing is nearly twice as tall as the Eiffel Tower and a couple hundred feet higher than the Statue of Liberty. So, good luck with having this in the future London. [via IHC ]
Gordon has news this morning of a planned appearance by Madonna : Madonna is fit for Olympics The 53-year-old singer is going to make her return with a massive gig in Hyde Park. She is planning to win back her Queen Of Pop title by playing to 60,000 fans smack bang in the middle of the Olympics. Smart is dressing this up as if it's part of the Olympics, although it's unlikely Madonna would, given that the supine UK government passed a law against that sort of thing. There [...]
Oh man, the endless treasures of vintage Library music. You have to discard some chaff, but the effort yields precious rewards. This one should soundtrack some sort of futuristic bloodsport competition. Or a videogame version of it. Or whatever wild stuff you do this weekend. Gerard Gesina - Big Green Espace

No Modest Bear premiered a newly recorded version of an older unreleased track from dream-pop troupe Moscow Olympics today. It falls right into place with their previous material and is highly recommended for fans of The Radio Dept., Slowdive and Sarah Records aficionados. There's no update on a follow-up to 2008's gorgeous Cut the World full-length, but you can order a newer pressing of that record on CD over at Japanese imprint Happy Prince . [...]
NMB just premiered this ultrawarm gazewave track by Moscow Olympics who come from the Philippines and sound like The Radio Dept but a Radio Dept that wears their love of New Order more on their sleeves. Either way, keeping the avenues open, a reworking of an MO song from a year ago, is definitely vibe-ready and is a sweet look into the sound of the four-piece's second album, on schedule at Fraction Discs . Moscow Olympics - keeping the avenues open [ download mp3 by clicking arrow in the soundcloud ]
Moscow Olympics är ett band från Filippinerna med många kopplingar till Sverige och svensk musik. De blandar suddig drömpop och shoegaze á la The Radio Dept (som de även agerat förband åt) och har tidigare släppt skivor på Fraction Discs och numera nedlagda Lavender Recordings. Och nu bjuder de på nya låten Keeping the avenues open - en omgjord och förbättrad version av To keep the avenues open som gavs ut av Beko förra året - via NMB! Ett nytt album (deras andra) sägs vara på gång och om [...]

I'm excited for fall. Everyone searches for songs that intensify the feeling of the season. You know, that ONE song that you can listen to any time during the season and it only evokes the best memories in your mind. To me that track is Insomniac Olympics by Blockhead. A track off his debut solo album Music by Cavelight , this track perfectly embodies the best part of instrumental hip-hop (to me) and as an extension makes for a perfect theme song to fall. I am currently digging a lot of this instrumental style [...]
