Fuel readers, you guys are lucky today to get an interview conducted by my new special correspondent in the field. It's an on-site, in-depth chat with Superdrag frontman John Davis at the latest reunion show in Chicago. Brian London is a musician friend of mine in the California Bay Area, and he has been a fan of Superdrag for a long and very intense time. I sent him out armed with a tape recorder and his encyclopedic memory, and he turned in a really interesting look at the music of [...]

I took this photo in Arizona last October. Ok, who's on board with me saying that this Facebook crap has spun completely and totally out of control? What used to be an interesting user-platform for it's simplicity and purity regarding promotional racket has now, thanks to program developers, turned into a nightmare. No, i don't want to be a facebook zombie. No, not a pirate either. And i don't care what football team you like, where i am on your hotness-meter, or if you buy me a digital shot of tequila. How about buying [...]
Hmmm , I was frankly agog to find that Salford's The Whip were strangely omitted from the line-up at Chibuku last Saturday. Alas, all was not lost, as Japanese DMC finalist DJ Kentaro and one half of Brighton's Evil Nine more than made up for their absence. MP3: Evil Nine - Crooked Ft. Aesop Rock ( Myspace Rip) [...]
Thanks everyone who tuned into WREK for The Mobius this past Weds, it was a blast as usual. I've condensed that last hour into a cd-friendly download for everyone -so listen and enjoy! Choyce Hacks! - Live on The Mobius (2007-09-26) And as special treat, here's the tracklist with direct downloads for some highlighted tunes... PLUS I've included some other material hype machine decided it didn't want to index from earlier in the week (yes, I'm a hit whore). [...]

Aside from creating insanely hard electro bangers, Italian born band The Bloody Beetroots also make a pretty mean t-shirt. 'Fucked From Above 19852 is The Bloody Beetroots official t-shirt and it's hot. You can pick one or three of these up by paypalling 32 euros to the boys. That's $45.05 American (shipping included). MP3: The Whip - Muzzle No1 (The Bloody Beetroots remix) MP3: The Toxic Avenger - Escape (The Bloody Beetroots remix) [...]

Not much time for words this week, so I'll just get onto the meat & potatoes! FRIDAY THE 20TH [ Click Flyers For Larger Version ] PHOENIX SAN FRANCISCO LOS ANGELES [...]

(photo courtesy of ... Kathryn Yu . Oh, you knew that!) Hey, you probably heard this already, but the Shearwater show that was supposed to be at Castle Clinton tonight has been relocated due to inclement weather. The official word is as follows: Due to the threat of inclement weather, tonight's Music at Castle Clinton show featuring Shearwater has been moved indoors to The Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts [...]

Well, what a weekend that was! Musically and generally. Friday was pretty old school house party, while Saturday afternoon was spent sipping Pimms & Lemonade in the gorgeous sun, with the new Dizzee Rascal album playing out faintly in the background. Perfect. Well, maybe swap Dizzee for Belle And Sebastien...So, on to business. So, Saturday night saw The Pioneer Club ft. Shnifty descend on Drill Hall, Lincoln, for the first Pioneer Club night on A) a Saturday, and b) organised by the guys at Shnifty. After a pretty chaotic start [...]
You'll probably feel that you've heard this one a thousand times before, especially if you have some Substance (if you know what I mean) in your collection. Yep, it is totally derivative of New Order but you can't but applaud the pristine application. In fact why not for once stop looking back to 'Ceremony', 'Temptation' and 'State of the Nation' for your kicks and instead give 'Frustration' a

If you are in New York and are reading this right now, I want you to stop, put on the same shit you wore last night, eat a mint & hail a taxi to We Are Your Friends & check out the Crystal Castles show. If you get a chance ask Alice if I can get her pager number. And tomorrow night if you're not gonna be at the super duper deluxe Missingtoof party because you live 6 hours south of here, I [...]
So, in the next few weeks Lincoln see's a whole host of incredible bands descending at its doors! You owe it to yourself to make it to as many of these as you can... - Friday 25th May - Fury Of The Headteachers w/ Rotary Ten @ Bivouac - Friday 1st June - The Wombats w/ Aurora Stripe @ Bivouac - Saturday [...]
So the all conquering Kitsune label is to release Vol. 4 of its 'Maison' compilation series on 11th June. Like the classic previous compilations, it's a mixture of pop bombs old and new.... and is of course an essential purchase. Stand out tracks for me are the Boys Noize mix of Feist, and the Hadouken! track... which I meant to post up some time ago (but didn't). I'm sure these can be
The last CTTE Mix has become The Blue Walrus' most downloaded mix to date and so I thought it only right to follow it up with a second volume before exam revision takes over so posts will be more limited to only new bands that I find and absolutely love. There are some big names again [...]

On pourrait ouvrir un blog pour en parler plus longuement, ou se préparer à compter les comments des kids outrés par TTC, piapiapia dans la machine, negro moi je jouis sur le visage des filles, et alors ? Para One à la prod, Para one au micro, lub lub lub. [...]

I first found out about the Whip about a year ago. Formed from the ashes of local electro heroes Nylon Pylon, the Whip emerged last September to much anticipation and fanfare. And boy, have they not discredited their history and past incarnation. Their sound holds a torch to obvious influences such as Depeche Mode and New Order, while the end product adds a modern touch which isn't a million

We all remember how much fun every year SXSW was. So here we go March 18-22 2009. It's just around the corner and you know you won't want to miss it. Whether you're working or whatever it is you do, now's the time to request off because you'll be a sad little rabbit when you hear all about it from your friends. The most up to date lineup list is full of amazing acts from all over. It's waaaay too good and long. Soon enough there will be afterparty RSVPs released, so keep an eye out for them. Not to [...]
