Hey all - am in the process of moving this shiz over to Wordpress/self-hosting, thus the lack of posts of late. Fear not, I haven't disappeared and will be back shortly on a new URL etc. etc. Much love.
Untitled. Shit, you know your laptop is getting old when it can't even play HD videos of Lykke Li anymore. Rather unfortunate. Yesterday, the singer released a video that has left fans equally intrigued and confused in a way that only the best films can. Beautifully shot, it begins with her artistically writhing on what appears to be some kind of deserted beach before violently stabbing the sand around her and emotively staring into the distance. You're left to draw your own interpretations. I could [...]
![[MIXTAPE] Modest Mouse Mousecast 01 - 'Future Music Festival'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3136833_lg.jpg)
"She walks around here like she's better than everybody. You walk around looking so out of place" DILT reader Stephen just sent me the down low on Mighty Mouse 's set of mixtapes by the imaginative name of 'Mousecasts'. I actually had no idea these existed so cheers for the heads-up, man. 2011's first Mousecast (titled 'Future Music Festival' as that's where they'll be playing in March) features a kick-ass mix of tracks including Beth Ditto 's 'Do [...]

![[REMIX] Jessie and the Toy Boys - 'Push It' feat. Yelawolf (Skeet Skeet Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3134626_lg.jpg)
"I've been trying to get a little bit closer to you" When you follow th e self-proclaimed "Ghetto Guetta" on Twitter , you know you're going to be hearing a lot of sick tracks. I am of course referring to the super talented DJ Skeet Skeet , who has created remixes for a slew of artists from Ke$ha to Shwayze (whatever happened to [...]
![[REMIX] Toro y Moi - 'Still Sound' (Teen Daze Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3134591_lg.jpg)
"'Cos I don't want to be here alone..." At last, friends, the weekend is upon us and with it the ensuing onslaught of debauchery and hedonism. I have three stellar remixes to share with you all tonight because, let's be honest, you kind of deserve it after such a strenuous week. Top of the agenda is a seriously orgasmic remix of Toro y Moi 's 'Still Sound' by Canadian dream artist Teen Daze . The original was superb in itself, [...]
"No time for cameras, we'll use our eyes instead. No time for cameras, we'll be gone when we're dead" I just went to watch the new Matt & Kim video for 'Cameras' on MTV.com (don't judge me man, it was the only place I could find it) and was promptly bombarded with an endless barrage of Jersey Shore adverts. I think they were quite literally the last thing I wanted to see but whatevs, the video is awesome and completely makes up [...]
![[NEW] Best Coast - 'Sunny Adventure'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3131753_lg.jpg)
"There is so much magic in the warmest summer night" I know what you're thinking: this blog is totes turning into a Best Coast fan club of late. You're probably right. What can I say, though... I have massive love for the band and they just keep that love coming by constantly releasing new material. Last week, I posted about the split single and upcoming tour with Wavves titled 'Summer is Forever'. What I wasn't aware of [...]
"And I would like to be your girlfriend so I could dump you" Darwin Deez has quickly risen from virtually unknown to a fairly prominent spot in my eyes and ears. I've been saying it for a while but I'll say it again: 2011 will be his year to shine. I'll bet you an arm and possibly a leg that by the end of December he'll be a household name. Having noted my appreciation for his music, the kind folks over at [...]
![[NEW] Blackbird Blackbird - 'The Clouds Are Rising'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3131703_lg.jpg)
The clouds are rising. Today was certainly an interesting day. I won't bore you with the lurid details but let's just say that school-related work is far from my best friend. Luckily, a terrible day is drawing to a not-quite-so-terrible end thanks to this new Blackbird Blackbird track 'The Clouds Are Rising'. An appropriate title, indeed. Mikey briefly uploaded it this demo to his Soundcloud before swiftly taking it down but we were [...]

![[MIXTAPE] Death To The Throne - 'An All Radiohead Mixtape'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3249463_lg.jpg)
"This is an all Radiohead mixtape by Death to the Throne. Word to your mother" Fucking insomnia. It's basically 5am up in here and I've been awake for hours doing absolutely nothing productive with my life whatsoever. The one good thing about living in the early hours of the AM are the amazing musical discoveries I seem to make solely in the bewitching hours. I can barely string a coherent sentence together right now so I'ma let the track below do the talking for me instead. In short, [...]

"I want to hit you, but then I kiss you. Want to kill you, but then I miss you" I don't care what anyone says, dude: the lolcat meme is and has always been amongst the far superior breed of Internetz-related crazes. It has long been my dream to witness lolcats in music video form and now, thanks to Best Coast and the lovely people at I Can Has Cheezburger , that beautiful day has come. If [...]
![[REMIX] Cold War Kids - 'Mine Is Yours' (Passion Pit Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3125585_lg.jpg)
"What is mine is yours..." Ah, don't you just love the obligatory "hai, we're standing pensively in a sunset" band promo photo? The boys of Californian indie outfit Cold War Kids show us how it's really done. The band have a new album out on January 24th by the name of 'Mine Is Yours', the follow-up to 2008's massive 'Loyalty to Loyalty'. Early reviews for the album haven't exactly been positive (see BBC and [...]
"We run this town. We don't give a fuck" Even if it's just a copy + paste job, I love getting unique e-mails written by band members rather than the same ol' crap continuously spewed out by the tired press machines. As soon as I see that a band has taken the time and effort to write personally, I'm instantly 95% more receptive. Props to Brooklyn-based Built by Animals for doing just that. I'm actually bloody glad they caught my attention because their [...]
"Before you make a sound and try to turn us down - I'm gonna stuff your mouth with all your riddles" I've got two tidbits of very good news to share, friends. The first? Peter Bjorn and John are releasing their sixth studio album on March 28th, the aptly titled 'Gimme Some'. But that we already knew. The second, though, is much more interesting: the band have just unleashed a new video for first single 'Breaker Breaker', available exclusively through [...]
![[REMIX] The Drums - 'Me & The Moon' (Clock Opera Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3122810_lg.jpg)
"Darling, you can be so unforgiving" Wow... this may officially be the best remix I've heard so far this year. Okay, it actually came out right at the end of 2010 but really - who gives a shit about these irrelevant intricacies? Clock Opera have reworked The Drums ' 'Me & The Moon' and I literally cannot stop listening to it. I know I've been a bit harsh towards the latter in the past but either they've [...]

![[NEW] Cut Copy - 'Sun God'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3120468_lg.jpg)
"Are you gonna give me your love? Love won't be enough" I think it's safe to say that Cut Copy 's third studio album 'Zonoscope' is one of the records I've been looking forward to the most this year. The tingling anticipation and promise of a potentially stellar favourite so soon into 2011 meant that the bar I set for it was super high, and that fact made me very nervous. Having now heard it in its entirety, I'm ecstatic that 'Zonoscope' has [...]
