To spin-off the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack...
British synth-pop is so retro OMGWTFBBQ where's my Casio and BK sneakers it's so retro!
This song ain't bad, but the concept for the album packaging and artwork is really good... very original.
If you've run through your The Postal Service albums for the hundredth time and want some new material, well you're out of luck. But if you're looking for a substitute, then Owl City may be just the thing.

The Cinematic Orchestra didn't simply become the super chill, dramatic, Antony-and-the-Johnsons -collaborating band that we hear on Ma Fleur (or even the amazing soundtrack for Disney's French nature film Les Ailes Pourpres - yes, only the French would make a feature film documentary about the plight of flamingos) overnight. Their sound was originally that of a big, mean, trip-hop, nu-jazz band on the cutting-edge Ninja Tune label back in 1999 when they released Motion . Dig through their archives and you'll find live performances (i.e. [...]

I sometimes stumble upon a track that has a familiar beat, but I can't quite put my finger on where I've heard it before. Hunting down the beat can be fun, especially when you find that it came from an unlikely source. I'm sure you know what I mean.

The concept is great and the execution is really where this site shines. Check out the demo video: And the music: Scrimshire As in [...]

A cloudbuster : (seen at bottom, right of center, not the sculpture) a device intended to influence weather, supposedly by altering levels of "atmospheric orgone". Not all funk sounds like it belongs on a porno soundtrack. Nor does it always perfectly fit a slo-mo pimp-walk montage. When it comes from Orgone , however, it usually does. And when I say Orgone , I'm not talking about the universal bioenergetic force lying behind and causing much, if not [...]
Can you yo-yo while walking using a folded chair as legs? Didn't think so.
