So to keep up with my late to the party theme going with the post from yesterday, I've decided to feature the band Locksley today. Their power pop is pretty infectious. And what better way to display it than with their first ever single Darling, It's True. The single was released over a year ago [...]
For those that like Jimmy Eat World, I present to you, The Dangerous Summer. I thought it was a new track from Jimmy Eat World when I first heard it actually. And to be honest, I hadn't heard of The Dangerous Summer. It turns out the song is over a year old. So, of course, [...]
It was a nice weekend without technology. I only checked my email a lot, and pretty much avoided Twitter and Facebook. Came across a Polygon Palace remix of Kids of 88 at electrorash. I haven't heard Polygon Palace for some time and they were kind of, out of sight, out of mind. Then I randomly [...]
There's not a great reason for posting November Rain today. I just heard it and remembered how much I loved it. If you have 9 minutes, join me in enjoying the Guns 'N Roses classic. Or at least the last two minutes, which are of Slash and are pretty epic. Have a good weekend everyone. [...]
So I'm going to be honest-I've avoided Lemonade and pretty much all the derivatives. I know the instrumental lends itself to freestyling. I'm just not that much into Gucci Mane. But, how can you not like KAM Royal's take? It's more like a finished song than just someone freestyling. The New Orleans native shows off [...]
Elton John recently got into the news saying, "Songwriters today are pretty awful." I don't take that much of an exception to Sir Elton's statement but there are also some very good songwriters today. I guess, depending on who you are listening to, either statement can be very true. To combat this perceived plague of [...]
Buy Gilgamesh as soon as you possibly can (here's an iTunes link). Gypsy & The Cat are amazing and I'm going to echo others like From Go To Whoa and The Blue Walrus: they're going to breakthrough soon and become huge. Honestly, they are going straight to the top of my must-see list; I'll be [...]
In another life, I want to be Scottish. Everyone would have to use the word brogue when talking about my accent. I could be brooding, strong, and silent in my sleep. I would say that the blood of Old Tom Morris runs through my veins. And I could wear plaid without thinking about fashion. I [...]
Going old school today. Everyone knows N.W.A. or should. Dre and Co. are some of the most influential musical talent for this generation. Express Yourself is a classic for all forums. You can play it at parties or working out or just staying in alone. It's also my favorite of that album and from the [...]
With lots of up-and-coming rappers sampling indie tunes to establish a presence in the overflowing stock of internet music, it's harder to find the good artists. They stand out but shifting through lots of not so good music takes time to uncover the gems. Fortunately, it's all worth it when you get someone like one [...]
First, they don't look like the picture. Second, you have to take any chance you get to recall The Hangover, even if the subject is only tangentially related because it's an awesome movie. Third, the band has Vegas in their name and thus the picture is totally applicable. Fourth, the band hails from Canada. Fifth, [...]
Any mention of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool is seemingly forever paired with the sad news that Charlie Haddon, the lead singer, committed suicide earlier this year. Before they had their moment, he was gone. The digital release of their debut effort, The Golden Years reveals the underlying, if only subconscious, acknowledgement that it's bittersweet [...]
I heard this awesome unfinished dubstep remix on Soundcloud by Louis Leatherbarrow and loved it instantly. I hope Louis finishes it because it is one of my favorite things that I've heard on Soundcloud. I just couldn't wait to share a finished version though. While I can appreciate the Sopranos-like ending to it, I thought [...]
I previously posted a Clock Opera remix of Marina & The Diamonds' I Am Not A Robot. I am a big fan of that remix and I'm glad to see that Clock Opera is starting to get even more recognition. They're in Kitsuné’s tenth Maison compilation (The Fireworks Issue). The compilation will be released November [...]
In honor of PMA's 3 quarters through the year top 50 songs list of 2010, I'm posting one of my favorites from their list: #7 Robyn's Cry When You Get Older. Robyn is a Swedish star. Pretty Much Amazing is awesome music blog. They made a list. Here's the top 10. Check out the awesome [...]
I Am The Agent is a self-described alternative rock band, hailing from Australia. It's said they are making the rounds around Sydney. Hopefully their fanbase is growing there. I can say they've got a fan halfway across the world here. These Aussies deliver a sort of new grunge revival. It's not the Pacific Northwest melancholy [...]
"She's got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin, And if I bring a little music, I can fit right in." I love those lyrics everytime I hear them. Seems fitting for my life. I'll let others try to interpret the song because their views are probably more correct than mine, but I wanted [...]
Edits and remixes tend to augment and add to the original. Dj Moodz does the opposite here and it's an amazing version and job well done. I had to share it. Dj Moodz notes that the edit "[focuses] more on the beauty of the song than the beats." That's a great description for this version [...]
I'm in an introspective mood. I'm just thinking and listening today. Sort of daydreaming and yearning for something but not sure what. It's a feeling that I'm not properly describing but it's one of those times where you're kind of anti-social and just want to be alone and not concentrate on anything. Not depression; it's [...]
It's a rainy day here and I seem to be in a melancholy mood. I don't know if it's the weather or it's Monday or if I'm just in that type of mood to start. So a sad song was a necessity. Something where the lyrics are closer to depressing than celebratory. Despite the need [...]
