03.24.2010 More trouble for EMI, this time with Gorillaz big hit Stylo from their new album "Plastic Beach". Eddy Grant and his lawyers claim there are "substantive similarities" between Stylo and his 1983 song Time Warp . See more HERE . Whosampled.com seems to think it's a rip. Check it out HERE . Eddy Grant says "Damon Albarn knows in his heart of hearts – it's unfortunate that we cant get into people's hearts – he knows that this is a song that he's loved, in his [...]
03.22.2010 OK Go just recently parted ways with EMI to start its very own independent record label, Paracadute (Italian for "parachute"), 'cause they weren't happy with EMI's decision to not allow embedding of the band's videos online. This as their latest video "This Too Shall Pass" was, like, totally going viral... The band's no stranger to viral videos.

See [...]

03.19.2010 Sources say Ezra Koenig (pictured above) was raised in New Jersey, son of a therapist mother and movie industry father. He is a MoT and the fourth generation of his family to attend an Ivy League institution. Rostam Batmanglij, keyboardist/guitarist/backing vocalist, and who recently "came out" to much publicity, recently addressed the issue of the band's last album sounding like Paul Simon's Graceland album: "We actually met Paul Simon and I asked [...]

03.15.2010 Future Islands? Future Shock! As far as I can tell, it appears to be a trio based out of Baltimore, Maryland. Basic instruments used: Synth keyboards, Drum machine and bass guitar. One source described their style as "minimalist dancepunk, pop, lo-fi, post wave". The lead singer is Sam Herring and his voice is striking: sometimes it's gruff as he belts out some poignant refrain, at other times it's euphonious, even plaintive. Future Islands will move you. Beach Foam is from their 2008 album "Wave Like [...]

05.02.2010 It's the weekend! Time to make bad decisions involving liquor, ladies and some dirty club that makes you stand in a cold line for the better part of an hour only to find out you wore the wrong shoes and therefore cannot gain entrance. Or you could just stay at home put these tunes on repeat and not get laid all the same... Paul Harris vs The [...]

02.02.2010 Indie fantastic. What are Yellow Wings anyway? The Urban dictionary tells me...oh. Oh my. Well that's just awful. Necro-what!? I've made a huge mistake. This has tainted my appreciation of this song. Keepaway - Yellow Wings

It's sorta like Groove Armada is sending a hidden [...]

01.30.2010 Fan Death is super duper Vancouver lady duo who are surely going to be bringing us some Alist material in 2010. At least that's what the blogs and papers would like us to believe. With all the hype behind these two, I had to wonder if it was warranted. So I put my detective hat, monocle, and cape on, called my trusted sidekick and started building a case. After many hours of intensive private eying these two ladies, I managed to not [...]
