I think I know what Santa might be bringing Phil for Christmas. Strut Records has released a fab new compilation called Fac.Dance. The two-disc set is compiled and annotated by Bill Brewster (a la djhistory.com) It's an auditory history of Factory Records. If you're a frequent TCA reader you've got to know about Factory Records.

Wanna make music? The reality of making bedroom pop (or any other kind of music) just got a little smaller and bigger at the same time. GarageBand is now available as an app on the iPhone. This makes me very happy! Via Mashable: "Apple has updated its GarageBand for iOS app to support the iPhone [...]

Not a good season for indie marriages. Last week Thurston and Kim of Sonic Youth threw in the towel. Today US Weekly reports that after two years of marriage, Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard have separated. US Weekly spoke with the couples manager and reports that the separation was "mutual and amicable" and that "there [...]
I've never been in love during October...
Seriously. Like a real live WTF? Flaming Lips have already sold out of their new 24 hour single (as yet, and possibly untitled) which is embedded in a genuine human skull. For those who haven't been lucky, or rich enough to purchase one of the five $5000 skulls will be able to stream the song [...]
I was going to pull down the live video of this song I posted a couple of days ago after they released the damn thing with no fanfare today. I thought I'd leave it there as a chance for our listeners to compare the studio version to the live performance. Chromatics, as I said before, [...]
While we wait patiently for another Boards of Canada record, and there will be one according to the black square on the discography section of their website, we have a little treat to share with you! The insanely talented DJ Food took the pre-release of BOC's Geogaddi back in 2002 and made a 20 minute [...]
I've been looking for this song in some format since Chromatics played with Glass Candy last month, and here it is, their next step. Chromatics have always been great in every incarnation we've seen. They've grown into a great pop band, as is evidenced by their (and several other Johnny Jewel projects) appearance in the [...]
The 2011 Treasure Island Music Festival is a wrap, and day two proved to be more emotional, personal and beautiful than day one - and that's a tough act to follow! The weather was lovely throughout and there were solid acts from start to finish. I'd like to thank my blogging partner Paige, and all [...]
I'm loving this new M83 double album like nobody's business. I've always been a moderate fan, but Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is thoroughly engaging, moderately melancholy, and harks back to a bygone era - primarily the 802s, specifically 1986. Grab it now and take a long walk in an autumnal setting or a leisurely drive [...]
Thanks to my good friend and DJ Partner in crime, Freddy King of Pants for getting this stuck in my head for the last month. It's over the top, camp as Christmas and produced by the one and only Giorgio Moroder. Enjoy! 123 version after the jump!
The 2011 Treasure Island Music Festival's day one is in the bag - and Paige and I are sacked! I can only try to describe how fun, cool, unique and chill this annual end of summer celebration is, and San Francisco's notoriously finicky weather was on it's best behavior for the occasion. Today, we had [...]
