Nothing says "I'm Swedish" quite like ethereal, incomprehensible vocals, and obscure, but beautiful nature videos . The title of this song from Urberget translates as "behind these bleeding eyes," which is a bit gory. His tape is coming out on Ingen Våg which means "no wave," but sounds much funnier. Urberget - Bakom dessa blödande ögon [mp3]
Sadly, Nicki Minaj's album wasn't the epoch-defining rapper-guzzling monster we'd hoped for, perhaps because her cartoon rawness sat uncomfortably atop all those plinky-plonk trance-pop beats. It wasn't all bad though, like the Drake-guesting lullaby Moment 4 Life . Here Star Slinger lends Alfred Bitchcock some of his spacedust. Nicki Minaj - Moment 4 Life (Star Slinger Remix) [mp3]
For this festive edition of the Pingcast we emailed ourselves to Tokyo for a Japanese music special. It's called Winter In Japan (the name took us a while). We put together a mix of our favourite new acts and got our buddy Tiger Reid in as special guest host. Tiger will be presenting her own radio show on Tokyo-based pirate radio station, Vincent Radio this Boxing Day. As well as working for awesome record label Hostess Entertainment , Tiger contributes to Monchicon and runs the amazing Tora Tora Bura Bura . You can download [...]
You know the bit in Pet Sematary where the boy, Gage, gets run over and his dad buries him in the Micmac burial ground in the hope that Gage will return from the dead, and Gage does return from the dead but instead of a nice kid he's now a scalpel-wielding , town-terrorising c annibal ? Well Blessure Grave ( RIP ) was pre-fatal car accident Gage and Soft Kill is Gage with the scalpel. Convoluted metaphor! And if you haven't seen the film, sorry, we've basically ruined [...]
Sunset Article is a new song from Tokyo's :visited . When I put it on the ice on my windows melted, the sky turned orange, and I started smiling FOR NO REASON. Much more of this stuff soon, when the Pingcast broadcasts live from Japan. :visited - Sunset Article [mp3] :visited - Like Sheynius [mp3]
Young L - Conscious Minds This is how you flip a sample.
Last D2P of the year at The FADER with the awesome Waskerly Way . We talked about cats, obviously.
These are crazy , crazy, crazy, crazy Nites . Nites - Fall In The Seduction [mp3] Nites - It Is An Excuse To Get Hurt And To Hurt [mp3]
We think we've almost decoded the new Waskerley Way EP (Gâteau: a french cake. Gato : a Spanish cat. Supercat : A super cat). We just need to figure out how Energy Legs and New Norse fit in. Maybe they are both cats? Or, um, cakes. Waskerley Way - Gâteau [mp3] [ Buy ]
Like a sonic schizophrenic, Chris Powers has many musical identities . Termeric explores his exotic, epicurean side. Like the work of some half-crazed, globe-trotting parasitologist-chef, his new album Natural Gel is a gastronomic Petri dish full of sautéed culture cells and stewed bacterial colonies (and beats, yo.) Buy it now from Alpha Pup Digital and the titanic Triple You Tapes . Termeric - Chin [mp3] [ Buy ]

For this week's Dollars To Pounds I caught up with the production powerhouse behind 78% of the music I write about, Rory Brattwell.
Fixers - Who Says Boys Kaleidoscopes are cool.
Hey Phil Jones from ATL, also known as Dog Bite . Dummy asked you ' how's it going? ' and you said, 'pretty fresh, trying to live in the future.' That's awesome. Judging by this new single you are doing a pretty good job. Dog Bite - Machino Machino [mp3] [ Buy ] 1. "I woke up." 2. "I forgot." 3. [...]
Solar Bears - Primary Colours At The Back Of My Mind So that's what the back of a mind looks like.
This hypercoloured jammer from D'eon 's new album Palinopsia starts out like Fleetwood Mac and ends up a kind of Second Life spiritual. Without any doubt, this would be #1 on Jobe from Lawnmower Man 's best of 2010 list. D'eon - Keep The Faith [mp3] [ Buy ]
This week I asked the lovely Lonely Galaxy , "What is your favourite chocolate to eat when you’re on your own?" (HA!) You won't find this kind of searing journalistic inquiry anywhere else on the internet.
Drugg is buddies with Visions Of Trees , and so awesome by association, but he has nothing to do with D/R/U/G/S . His dosed-up, bleak house EP, Shackled is out soon on Less Music and it might just be worth cutting your hand off for. Drugg - Shackled [mp3]
This Friday (03/12), the UK's second and third best music blogs, Transparent and Don't Die Wondering (aka Merok Records ), take over legendary Hoxton warzone Charlie Wright's International Bar for their new club night extravaganza, Fantasy On Repeat . The dream team line-up of amazing young labels is completed by guest DJ spots from Young Turks and Tri Angle . Darkstar and C Powers will also be spinning digital music files, while goth star Pictureplane plays live. We have a pair of tickets to give away. [...]
Winter is here. There is ice in the trees, ice on the streets and ice in our cold, dark hearts. If this thermometer was an inch longer we'd all freeze to death. Fostercare 's frosty new mixtape will not thaw us out. Fostercare - Land Ov Ether Take Me Back mixtape [mp3] 1. The Orb - Loving You (Orbital remix) 2. Fostercare - Mask (FC Refix) 3. Salem - Babydaddy 4. This Mortal Coil/Cocteau Twins - Song to the [...]
