Heavy Cross is the first drop off The Gossip 's upcoming album, Music for Men . The album is set for release internationally on June 22 and the song, its no surprise and just as you would expect, great! Tagged: The Gossip
While I was being lazy and not making my regular posts over the long weekend, Hamilton's The Rest , left a full preview of their forthcoming album, Everyone all at once, in my inbox. The 7 man show undeniably lives up to the Canadian indie band standard and offers some pretty laxed summer jams. Here are my fave pics from the album. The Rest - Modern Time Travel (necesities) The Rest - Walk on Water (ausicious beginnings) If you like what you hear above, they've [...]
"TGIF is an initialism for the phrase Thank (God/Goodness/Gosh) It’s Friday [...] it has become a common expression of relief at the end of the work week and anticipation of relaxing or partying over the weekend" Simian Mobile Disco - I believe Groove Armada - Love Sweet Sound Tagged: Groove Armada, Simian Mobile Disco
I. Can't. Stop. Listening. To. This. Song. More so though, I just can't stop listening to everything Passion Pit comes up with. Their first EP, Chunk of Change , was a huge success. And their debute album, Manners , which drops May 19, is sure to continue to reel us in and offer 'em up some star status for the duration of the summer at the very least. I am predicting hottest band of the summer. Passion Pit - The Reeling [...]
As if N.A.S.A. ( Dj Squeak E. Clean & Dj Zegon ) hadn't done a good enough job when they aligned Kanye , Santogold and Lykke Li for Gifted , Mr. Aoki had to come along and ante up! Bravo Steve. Bravo! N.A.S.A. - Gifted feat. Kanye West, Santogold and Lykke Li (Aoki Rmx) [...]

Peter Funch is a German photographer who clearly understands how boring our lives can be and how we share this boredom in sync with those around us. You can see the rest of the series here Here's a tune by Passion Pit , who I have been meaning to do a post on for a while now because they are pretty much amazing, which came to mind as I viewed the series, Passion Pit - Sleepyhead Tagged: Passion Pit, Peter Funch
Some jams just never get old, especially those that were produced in excess of a decade ago by artists still taking the world by storm today. Stardust , a Parisian trio comprised of famed producers Alan Braxe and Thomas Bangalter ( Daft Punk ), and pop-vocalist Benjamin Diamond forged themselves into one hit wonders in their own right. But Music Sounds Better with You wasn't just a catchy tune one hummed as they twiddled their thumb at the bus stop or screamed at the top of thier lungs while loaded on wine coolers with their girlfriends moments before [...]
I awoke to some pleasing news yesterday, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are closing the show at this year's Bluesfest ! Just days ago I reviewed my summer 2009 festival and show line-up, which I think is shaping up quite nicely. The roster currently includes first time viewings of Santogold , Amanda Blank , Lykke Li , Cold Play , Beastie Boys , Beast , Neko Case and Holy F*ck! , and a slew of welcomed repeat acts like, Thunderheist , the Roots [...]
Pretty much precisely what you might expect from a Justice take on Kravitz ; Soulful, little bit jazzy, great riffs throughout, and of course, a good dose of electro. Lenny Kravitz - Let Love Rule 2009 (Justice Rmx) Tagged: Justice, Lenny Kravitz
For those that don't know, DiscoTech is a 3-man remixing machine from Germany. Their mission, take a radio hit and edit it to the point it becomes acceptable to play at Friday's scenester showdown. Coldplay - Viva la Vida (DiscoTech Rmx) Kanye West - Homecoming (DiscoTech Rmx) Their US tour just ended Sunday but I suspect they will be back in North America in no time. Tagged: Coldplay, DiscoTech, Kanye West
I'm not sure Idiotproof really does Greg or Isis any justice here. Check it out and judge it for yourself. I will say that he really made it his own, and that I appreciate that. Thunderheist - Nothing 2 step 2 (Idiotproof Rmx) Tagged: Idiotproof, Thunderheist
Little Boots album, Hands , will be released globally on June 9th. When Fred Falke dropped his mix of LB's New In Town a couple of month back I knew we had another remix hit. I have to admit that I was expecting something from Van She Tech or maybe even Diplo . Despite their absence on this round of remixery, the Emil and Friends is one pleasent surprise. A1 Bassline is certianly no surprise. The guy is the best kind of whore the scene's got right now. [...]
What a coincidence! Tax day and Harper's bday, the same day! Well now that we have got that out of the way, lets dance. Groove Armada - Love Sweet Sound (Mark & Fundagenda's Rmx) Guns 'n' Bombs - Riddle of Steel (Classixxx Rmx) Tagged: Classixxx, Groove Armada, Guns 'n' Bombs, Mark & Funkagendas
I've been a little neglectful lately as my focus has been on a report. My apologies. Anyhow, here it is, the new Peaches track, Talk to me . The Canadian producer, and queen of bitch and dirty lyrics has tour dates set for Vancity, Calgary, T.O., MTL and quite a few U.S. cities to promo her forthcoming album, I Love Cream , which is to be released May 4. Hop on over to the promo site to view a mini documentary full of all the twisted egoisms and gender bending you would expect of her. [...]
Most things are better in Paris. Especially food. I am sure that the report I have been writing for two days would be better done in Paris. MSTRKRFT/Stardust - Music sounds better in paris Tagged: Daft Punk, Paris, Stardust
I really think Emily Haines of Metric could use a 12 step program to get her off the downers it seems she's always popping. Until then, I will be satisfied with this Twelves edit of Metric's Help I'm Alive . But seriously, does the girl know how to smile? Metric - Help I'm Alive" (via RCRD LBL) Tagged: Emily Haines, Metric, The Twelves
So here's the deal, Justice has robbed Daft Punk of their samples. Daft Punk, who you play, now has to get them back while battling obnoxious and annoying fans and collecting points. Sound way too cool to be true? Click the the start button above to try it for yourself! Why couldn't they just be friends, one more time, Daft Punk vs. Justice - We are your friends one more time (Jamieson Rmx) ...or at least pretend to be one more time, Daft Punk vs. MGMT [...]
