Hah, what a funny picture that is, the whole hair in the face and holding rock thing.. Totally bananas they are. Anywho, I've been gaming like there's no tomorrow and the fun thing is that I can call it fysio-therapy, since my hand got better playing WoW, so I will continue in that line of [...]

Putting on my Hipster Runoff cap/oversized tee for a moment, I have a question. How do y'all feel about re-releases? Not in the 10th/15th/200th Anniversary editions of albums but more like bands re-releasing old singles as new. I didn't really mind it when people like Bloc Party or the Futureheads did it because we'd get nice new B-Sides. But I don't know. It's happening more and more. Cut Copy just rebooted Hearts On Fire for another spin last month, right? Well, sure, that tune was only released on a limited run of vinyl and didn't even get a [...]

This could very well be one of the best electronic/dance/techno tour to ever grace Australia, in my eyes anyway. With the release of Van She's debut album 'V' coming out very very soon, and the lead single 'Strangers' doing wonders already, this tour, in support of the single, is shaping up to be something quite special. And what makes it even more exciting? The band are planning on playing more rural towns and travelling just about everywhere in Australia with some of the best up-and-coming dance acts and bands. Here's a message from the band: "Yo [...]
That's right WoW, Switch is the man! and like you have mentioned before he also has an alia's 'Solid Groove'. I haven't seen much under except for these oldies. They tend to have a Switchesque sound but a bit funkier. Radioclit – Mature Macho Machine (Solid Groove Remix) Solid Groove – This is Sick (Switch Remix) …Is this incest? Van She has been moving and grooooving recently and I'm [...]

I'm not going to lie to you...this week was friggin hot...and not in that stupid Paris Hilton way. Physically crippling your brain hot. Sweltering to the point where EVERYTHING becomes a headache. Boiling to a point where sweat doesn't drip, it pours off of you like a monsoon. Luckily we've had some recent relief so instead of it being in the 100s, it's just the 90s. Fantastic. Well here's to summer in Baltimore. Thank god there's cold beer and cold showers...oh...and these: mp3: Van She - Kelly (Cut Copy Remix) mp3: Ratatat [...]

Well its been a little while since we've posted anything Australian so i thought i'd post one of VanShe 's tracks remixed by Yuksek - who is French, but that doesn't matter. Its called Strangers and its short and sweet - clocking at four minutes thirty - it gets straight to the point. Check it out, and I look forward to posting some more tunes from Australian artists. Van She - Strangers (Yuksek remix)(320)
Two peeps featured here often are back to combine for a great one. Pretty poppy but still has some kick to it. Van She - Strangers (Yusek Remix).mp3

Exactly three years ago I posted the first Mobtown Mix, and the 4 readers I had (hi mom!) at the time loved it. 30 mixes and more post-punk bands than I can remember later, things are so much more cutting edge now...or are they? For this mix, in commemoration for the 30th mix and three year Mobtown Mix anniversary, I went through all of the previous mixes and picked out the best songs off each mix. I tried to keep it up-tempo and chronological by album release date, but some mixes were themed (valentines day, [...]

My criticism isn't reserved solely for the douches of the Galvatrons , no, there's lots lots more to go around. So welcome to a new HYPRBL section, dedicated to Shit Covers. Shovers . I could've gone for Shit Art, but Shart is already reserved for Shit Farts. Basically, I put a lot of importance on cover art. New Order's cover art became iconic and Daft Punk [...]

With Van She on the war path ahead of the release of V I managed to score a sneaky interview with Mikey from the group (and Van She Tech , yo) which never actually made it to print, so it's blog-only now, I guess. Works for me. Copy et paste. D: It feels like forever since that first EP came out. It kind of felt like you guys had disappeared there. What's happened since then guys? Why the delay? M: Well in short we got side tracked by techno, [...]

The Horrors - You Think I'm Lonely Van She - Strangers Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya - Fuck Friend

CUT COPY: Signed to Modular, leading his band C//C , Dan Whitford has come a long way from small time DJing. Joined by Tim Hoey and Mitchell Scott, the trio recently released their sophomore album. Although I prefer their debut, ' In Ghost Colours ' is fresh and interesting, but its tracks failed to make my favourites. They are, my favourite track from their debut, an old song, and a mix of another aussie outfit Van She . Cut Copy - Saturdays [...]
Photos by Andral Ludovic - Great work. And while you're at it, check out this page of advertisements. There's some pretty funny stuff there. Child prodigy turned electro-wizard, Yuksek, is making more of an appearance these days with his ever-inspiring remixes. This time it's of artists like Mika, Ghostface Killah and Van She. "Lollipop" has all [...]

So, I'm sure we all know who took 2007...yeah, well anyways. 2008 is still looking bright for a lot of acts, and here are a few I think will stand out. But before we go there, I ponder what the year has given me so far. Let's just say, what I thought I wanted wasn't good for me and what I thought I didn't want was good for me after all. Now, the tunes? Lykke Li - Little Bit Doesn't this song make your chocolate that's in your pocket [...]

Great retro vibe and smooth progressions on this track from Van She. Bio from last.fm : Formed in the early part of 05, Van She are a new band from Sydney. Unashamedly taking bits and bobs from 80's post punk, funk and synth pop, 90's grunge, French house, film scores, 70's Krautrock and the latest collection of innovative artists like Tom Vek and M83, Van She are that unique beast that one was beginning to believe no longer existed – a band that takes all these influences from days gone but makes them [...]
Torsdag it is. Sagt på en anden måde, så er det atter engang blevet dagen, hvor vi gøre klar til fredag. Den bedste måde at gøre dette på er, som sædvanligt, at smide 5 af de allerfedeste tracks op her på bloggen. Smid dem på iPod'en, og få en vild weekend ud af det. Vi byder som altid på lidt forskelligt, hvortil fødderne med garanti kan flyttes! Estelle ft. Kanye West - American Boy (LAZRtag Remix) (download) Correct Effect - Smoke and Lasers (download) [...]

Photos by Fiedel Living in a big city is tiring, and I find myself a lot of the time wanting to do nothing but flop on the couch, watch reruns of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and boil my future-children with my laptop while perusing the interwebs for music. And I'd like to share with you my journey: Things got started after reading another amazing post about Van She , this time from fellow Chicago blogger redthreat . The aussie groupe-deluxe whose inspirations stem from 80's post [...]
