So if you do this internet thing, chances are you already heard this song at some point today. We figured we'd be a "bad" blog and post our MySpace rip. It's totally heinous of us, but someone was going to do it sooner or later. The Richard X -produced "I Know Your Girlfriend Hates Me" isn't too far evolved from what Annie was doing in '04, but don't let that dissuade you from giving it a fair listen. The song drifts for a while, but if you can wait until [...]

photo via Princess' MySpace It's official: Southern rap has saved trance music. This is among the many things about the present I could not have predicted five years ago. Perhaps in 2009, Paul van Dyk will tour with Rich Boy . And for some reason I'm not sour about that at all. The stars have aligned, and it seems meant to be. "Pretty Rave Girl" is a testament to such whodathunkitness. It samples [...]
directed by Barney Clay Services have always struck me as Brooklyn's best answer to Ed Banger . (Although I'm sure saying that kind of thing in certain circles could get me assaulted.) In any case, it's nice to see this duo moving up in the world. Such moving up can be indicated by Barney Clay's direction of this video. He's not exactly a "big name" director, but he directed Gnarls Barkley 's " Who Cares? " and [...]

photo via www.gloss.fsnet.co.uk Icelandic singer Heidrun Björndottir (bka just Heidrun) could very well be the next link in the Robyn / Annie / Róisín / Bertine / Yelle dance-pop chain. We've had our eye on this broad for a minute. She was a member of the now-defunct Gloss and has worked with Gus Gus and Pleasure . Lately she's kept busy fronting Cicada . This alleged solo track just popped up on her [...]

photo via Lady Raptastic Retraction: Janet Jackson does not use a Fatboy Slim sample. She uses a Daft Punk sample. Why would I intentionally force such a mistake on you? Because I just can't bring myself to care about who is sampling Daft Punk anymore. Will.i.am was the last straw. If your dad's navy garage band reunited and covered '90s Moby B-sides, I'd probably care more. And just for Janet's suckiness, we're going [...]

A little off-topic, but not as much as you might think. Alex Patterson reunites The Orb for their eighth studio album. This time around, Patterson steers clear of "ambient" notions for the most part and opts to relive the comic dubby moments of the act's earlier work. Here's the video for the album's first single: The new album, The Dream , is due out on February [...]

Mr. Polar 's debut full length, Love Songs of the Hanging Gardens , was one of our favorites in 2006. His sophomore release, I Need You to Hold on While the Sky Is Falling , will hit shelves early next month. We understand that the main difference this time around is that Polar has produced the new album himself. ( Love Songs was produced by Environ label owner Morgan Geist , who is one half of Metro Area .) Geist is a true [...]
