If you hate synthesizers, you probably should stop reading. If you like synthesizers - like a lot of synthesizers - the new Bear in Heaven album may be for you. Idle Heart - the first song on I Love You, It's Cool - is straight off a 1990s Pet Shop Boys album. The rest of the album is '80s and '90s synth love. I hear a lot of New Order and even the Smiths - Sinful Nature reminds me so much of How Soon Is Now ? [...]

A part of their Record Store Day tribute to Pet Shop Boys.

Cat Stevenslores The general assumption as to whoy Teenage Fanclub release albums so infrequently - 20102s Shadows was just their third effort in the 21st century, assuming you count 2000 as part of this millenium - is that despite having three superb songwriters in their ranks, they just work very, very slowly; if this is true, then clearly bassist Gerard Love isn't the limiting factor. Based on Electric Cables , the debut album from his solo project as Lightships , he has no shortage of [...]

Pero bueno, Memphis Industries estara editando durante el Record Store Day un pequeño lanzamiento de Field Music en [...]

Andrew Dawson is a name that might not ring a bell at the moment, but that's about to change. The classically trained pianist from Minnesota quietly won three Grammys through his work as a mix engineer on Kanye West's albums The College Dropout , Graduation and, most recently, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy . Now he's made the transition to full-fledged producer, and set up his SoundEQ studio in Hollywood. "It's got a really cool vibe," says Dawson. "I have a little writing room upstairs that actually used [...]

Humanizing The Vacuum has exhumed Neil Tennant's 1992 Details piece in praise of hate: Positivity is fundamentally middle-class. It's about having the time, the space and the money to sort out where your head is at. Therapy is just another side of positivity. It's a leisure activity, a luxury for people who don't have any real cares. It's new age selfishness, the new way of saying that charity begins at home. And positivity makes the world stay the same. Hatred is the force that moves society along, for better or for worse. People aren't driven [...]
Hey, it's a post with a couple of bands from the 80s. I've never done that before! Pet Shop Boys Se A Vida É (That's the Way Life Is) (Mark Picchiotti's Deep And Dark Vocal) Se A Vida É (That's the Way Life Is) (Deep Dish Liquid Remix) To Step Aside (Ralphi's Disco Vox) To Step Aside (Hasbrouck Heights Mix) To Step Aside (Davidson Ospina Dub) [...]
Goin' Old School isn't a trip down music memory lane, it's a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: One of Pet Shop Boys ' finest moments (and that's saying something), 1986's 'Suburbia'. 1982's biggest anthem in the form of Ultravox 's 'Hymn'. Epic! It's 1982, Hip Hop is about to get as cool as it ever will with Whodini 's ' Magic's Wand'. You can buy most of this music from: [...]

Who are Pop & Eye ? We don't know much about them. What we do know is that they come from Sweden, they eating spinach and creating "space pop to make your body rock". Some insists that behind this mysterious band is no other than Tiger & Woods, who they claim that they have nothing to do with Pop & Eye. Anyway, the good news is that Pop & Eye are back for more funky goodness. Last year, Pop & Eye landed with their "Spinach Spaceship", a great tack off their first EP "Out To [...]
Tal como el año pasado , me motivé a hacer un mixtape ideal para las tardes de verano, piscina, playa y tragos ligeros. A diferencia de 2011, la temporada estival 2012 traerá dos nuevas entregas de la serie Pileta Mix. Ésta, la #2, es la versión diurna. Muy pronto llegará la #3, pensando más en la noche y la oscuridad. Infinitas gracias a Claudia Jaime por la increíble carátula. ¡Ojalá lo disfruten! Pileta Mix #2 (Día) - Enero 2012 by nicocastrog [...]
Seriously, the musical landscape of the 90s didn't have shit on the randomness of the 80s. Kate Bush Alternative Hounds Of Love The Handsome Cabin Boy I'm going to level with you,I don't know what's so "alternative" about this mix of "Hounds Of Love' aside from the fact that it's about 50 seconds longer than the original album version. It has the "do-we-do-do do-we-da-da" and those awesome drums still, so it still kicks ass. The real star here is the B-side, "The Handsome Cabin [...]
Earlier this morning on Twitter, I referred to "The Reflection of You", the brand new...

With Beavis and Butthead back on the air after nearly a decade-and-a-half hiatus, I thought I'd take a moment to offer my belated thanks to these two badly-drawn boys for turning me on to a couple of bands that otherwise would have escaped my attention. Even before MTV got out of the music video business, Beavis and Butthead were airing videos that would never have gotten any airplay via mainstream channels. Presumably channeling Mike Judge's musical tastes, Beavis and Butthead provided US viewers with the first glimpses of several well-below-the-radar bands including the Dead Milkmen, the Cramps, Daisy [...]
![Favorite Christmas UK #1 2011 Edition [Top 11]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3949359_lg.jpg)
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!! Come tomorrow will be Christmas Day. This year it falls on a Sunday and in the UK has to be the most important day for the music industry. It is having the Christmas #1 song . I noticed I haven't don't my favorite Christmas #1 since 2008 . So why not update my favorite songs that made it to #1 on Christmas day/week. There are some songs that have a festive theme and some not. Not going to add in of the Simon Cowell's garbage that started [...]
Someone on Twitter pointed out that Being Boring is a very December-ish song. True, and it's also my favourite Pet Shop Boys song. The chord change going into the words "When you're young" is pure magic. The melody goes on forever. The lyric seems to encapsulate an era and a lifetime. Pain + pop again, and an element of "better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all". Of course Behaviour is my favourite Pet Shop Boys album, with its themes of heartbreak, infidelity, and death. My other favourite Pet [...]
