Seabear : i built you a fire
Iceland's Seabear has built a new album and music video.

The Go Find: Automatic
More music from Morr Music , this time from the Belgium group The Go Find . Their sound has an insatiable pop hook that can easily become 'too pop' if not done right, and The Go Find's Dieter Sermeus seems to know where that line is. This video for It's Automatic from their new album, Everybody Knows It's Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight . The album is officially just ten days old since [...]

Implications of Google Buzz

Feb 10, 2010, 1:23pm Puddlegum
Implications of Google Buzz Google Buzz snuck up on most of us, avoiding the pre-release hype and allowing us to form opinions of Buzz as it was hitting our Gmail accounts. If you haven't heard yet, Google has fully thrust itself into the social networking arena, by integrating Buzz with every Gmail account. Yes, emails in Gmail have been called "conversations" since the beginning, but Buzz allows them to realize that vision. Buzz is available in two versions: desktop and mobile . Interestingly, there are features in the mobile version that are missing on [...]

The role of indie in Super Bowl 44

Feb 8, 2010, 12:24am Puddlegum
It was hard not to notice the prominence of indie bands featured in this year's Super Bowl commercials. We had heard that NFL licensed Wake Up from Arcade Fire and that all proceeds would go to help Partners in Health in their Haitian relief efforts. But we were surprised to find Arcade Fire's song used as the NFL anthem, with several versions playing throughout the game. Then to hear Grizzly Bear [...]

Steve Jobs’ Ballad of a Thin Man

Jan 27, 2010, 11:29pm Puddlegum
Steve Jobs’ Ballad of a Thin Man (Photo courtesy of Gizmodo) In 1966 Bob Dylan embarked in a new musical direction, taking the folk community by surprise. They had viewed folk music with acoustic guitars and vocals as the purist form of music, thumbing their noses at the exploding popularity of rock music. This sentiment for folk could be felt especially in Britain as bands like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and The Kinks brought blues-influenced rock-n-roll to the forefront. Bob Dylan had become the icon for the purists, and they weren't quite ready for his change. What people didn't [...]

Uniform Motion: Life I was thrilled almost immediately when I first heard Uniform Motion earlier this week.
