Stop it. Stop it. Just fucking stop it. Don't panic, this is emphatically NOT about pedophilia. Before you get your knickers in a twist have a quick look at the tracklisting, and in particular the band names, and hopefully you will see why the podcast has the name it does. So what am I really on about? Well, I happened across a band recently called Young Girls, and it finally became clear that after Bear Crystal Wolf Fuck Ghost bands, the new fashion is quite clearly paedo bands. Band whose names, whilst not exactly dodgy in themselves, lead [...]
This was the song we wrote our piece about for the Sweeping The Nation Noughties By Nation series. Music by the XX Teens, lyrics - yes - by Fox News: [Part of Decade Null 2008 ]
MP3.com founder and current MP3Tunes CEO Michael Robertson has counter-sued EMI for distributing free MP3s via MP3 blogs and its own sites, and allowing anyone to download them, "except, apparently, MP3tunes": MP3Tunes has made detailed factual allegations that EMI and...
XX Teens - How To Reduce Your Chances Of Being A Terror Victim The greatest record ever to be inspired by a Fox News feature
91. Funeral For A Friend 'Memory And Humanity' (Join Us) – Does anybody actually care anymore? 90. Mogwai 'The Hawk Is Howling' (Wall Of Sound) – Decent comeback record from Scotland's post-rock posse. 89. White Denim 'Workout Holiday' (Full Time Hobby) – Alright but it's a bit self-indulgent at times. 88. The Streets 'Everything Is Borrowed' (The Beats) – Not a bad record but Skinner's genius goes missing at points. 87. Cage The Elephant 'Cage The Elephant' (Relentless) – [...]

ARTIST: XX Teens With free mp3 download DATE: 11-11-08 REVIEW BY: Chase Domergue The words "genre defying" are a bit overused, and constitute a phrase that really doesn't make sense. I'd go more in depth with that opinion, but that would just add up to a bunch of sentences of me trying to explain some idiotic statement. And, it'd make me look like a self-righteous [view more]

ARTIST: After the Gold Rush.010 Free mp3s from Land of Talk, Vampire Weekend, Deerhoof, Annuals, Britney Spears, Black Ghosts and more! DATE: 10-19-08 WRITER: Mark Ziemke PHOTO: Old Timer McGee I actually like the Fall. It means a gnarly winter is on its way, but before it shows up there is just this sort of chill and beauty around that makes you stop and think for a bit about, I don't know, life or something. The other thing about Fall is how much new music [...]
And here I was thinking that it was Green Acres. With the launch of their debut, Welcome to Goon Island, out on Mute Records this past Tuesday, XX Teens [Myspace] have dropped something that, I have...

In the midst of a long day of watching the beginning of the Major League Baseball playoffs, I kinda forgot all about putting this week's Graboid up today. After a devastating grand slam during the Cubs/Dodgers game, I decided I needed a break and sat down to get this week's releases up before the night ends. To be honest, I haven't given a full listen to hardly any of this week's albums, so I can't really suggest anything in particular. Though, most of the sample songs I skimmed through have been pretty good ( Ani DiFranco [...]

We like it when the good stuff comes straight to our inboxes. And rather than keep them to ourselves, we like to share. So check it out below, four of our favorite recent videos that make wading through all that spam worthwhile. Pay it forward...

There was a whole crapload of Christmas releases that I took the liberty of deleting. If you really care about those, you can look them up yourself. I'm always ready for a new Ben Folds release. Anberlin has released the same album four times now. The Nightwatchman (a.k.a. Rage Against the Machine 's Tom Morello) has a new album that's sure to be protest-a-licious. And I'm admittedly a fan of Joshua Radin 's Zach Braff-core. Other than that, maybe I'll check out the new [...]

Photo Credit: Danny Clifford/Hottwire.net/WENN With the sterling efforts of the bands opening the festival over the last 2 days, XX teens have a high standard to meet today. They saunter on stage with 2 immaculately dressed frontmen, one attired in a beige dinner jacket and bowtie bearing a striking resemblance to Finch from American Pie; the other sporting black sunglasses and slick black hair achieving an impressive pastiche of a Spanish lothario. The looks match the ethos as fun is clearly the order of the day, with throbbing baselines and disco vibe, mixed in [...]

We are really digging the XX Teens . Their debut Welcome To Goon Island has been in heavy rotation non-stop in the office. The more we hear it, the more we can't turn it off. The lads have conjured quite the stir in their UK homeland and plan more of the same here in the states. Welcome To Goon Island hits our shores September 30th. Take a listen to single Darlin' for yourself - [...]
Today for your viewing pleasure, a handful of new and newish videos from Mute Records, including selections from their newest signings XX Teens (think Jonathan Richman on amphetamines), Hercules and Love Affair (this one looks like one of those old Lexus commercials), I'm From Barcelona (our former Band of the Weeker makes himself at home in the elevator), M83 (80s nostalgia alert in the best way imaginable), and Goldfrapp ("Caravan Girl" = "Cinnamon Girl" circa 2008?). Have a look see... XX Teens - "Darlin'" (above) [...]
