If you read my U-N-I post a few months back, you may recognize the name "Miguel Jontel." He is the young man who set fire to the chorus on U-N-I's "Lately." And, Miguel is largely responsible for my personal discovery (and ongoing iPod affair with) U-N-I. If my brother had never played the version of [...]
This has been bubbling for a couple of weeks now, so I thought I would post the official YouTube Preview. Afrojack appears to be over his "Let me make every beat with the same drum pattern as 'Pon De Floor'" phase and back to churning out proper heat. "Take Over Control" will be available for purchase tomorrow [...]

Do you like happen to like Joy Division? Do you dig The Cure? Those questions were more rhetorical than anything else but if you do check out The Twin Shadow. My buddy Jason referred me to his myspace page today and I felt the need to write instantly. A really cool sound from a guy [...]
Neon Hitch is going to be the next Lady GaGa or Ke$ha. But at the moment she is slumming it in blogville. One day soon you will step into the car of one of your pop-radio friends and Ryan Seacrest is going to be introducing Neon Hitch's latest hit single, "We're Bitches But We Fight" [...]

As if touting a roster of members from Bon Iver, Megafaun, The Rosebuds, Solid Gold, Doomtree & more isn't enough to ensure you want to know and love this. (full list of GAYNGS members below.) These songs keep popping up on the playlist lately, and each time one comes on I note Frank bobbing his head [...]
Hey Los Angeles Muffin readers, just a quick note that Faded Paper Figures are going to be playing Spaceland tonight. You can read my review of their 2010 album here. They are basically a really fun three-piece electro-pop group. I imagine this is going to be a fun show with people doing a bit of bouncing [...]

Namaste Muffins. Now I don't know about you, but your boy Trizzy is slightly unfamiliar with the ways of the dubstep - this is somewhat odd only because I definitely got into a heavy beathead phase back in college. Ahh well, you kids and your ever-evolving genres, how's a man to keep up? The sounds [...]

I don't have a lot of time to write as its summer here on the westcoast. And around these parts we spend as much time as possible at the beach. And while we're on the topic of the beach have you heard this new band The Smiles? They channel the ocean as if they're [...]
June 29th Terius "The-Dream" Nash did us all a favor and dropped my frontrunner for R&B Album of the Year, "Love King." This album is the 3rd installment in the "Love" series ("Love/Hate" 12/11/2007, "Love vs Money" 3/10/2009), and I feel like his most sexy and cohesive project thus far. Who is "The-Dream?" If you've had sex [...]
Been digging alot of the girl/guy duo thing lately? Happy Sunday. Phantogram Recently, I find myself saying 'dirty bass' to people around here a lot. I want to put it on everything. I keep walking into venues to find this doll of a girl hiding behind a mess of flat shaggy art bangs and a fella standing [...]
I am addicted to the thought of aimlessly traveling around the world. I have caught myself constantly skimming through travel books, studying maps and even my musical taste seems to have taken on somewhat of a wandering persona. I am not quite sure what that means, but I will say that the tunes I have [...]
Today we're talking with the blokes from UK's Panic Attract. They're currently in the midst of building hype for their debut album which is still being recorded. They've given us the opportunity to have a listen to their first public track, and in two words, their sound is 'very promising'. In addition to the [...]
Okay, not maharajas, but I needed a little something referencing the motherland to keep the alliteration going. But why Train? I'll tell you why my Muffin friends - in a move seemingly conceived as a way to make both the Indian and the Indie-an in me the happiest man (men?) on earth, Mumford and Sons [...]
Happy 7-11! Animal Collective - Lion In A Coma (AWESOME unoffical vid - props to PMA) Janelle Monae - Tightrope (Wondamix) ft. B.o.B. & Lupe Fiasco Brandon Flowers - Crossfire (holy Charlize Theron!)

On the heels of the release of their latest album, The Nerve, we catch up with Filligar. Casey, Johnny, Pete, and Teddy have been traveling the country for years playing mainly to the college crowd (but in their defense, they were in college at the time). But with their new album they have accepted [...]
