Usually I'm only at a loss for words when I see a really adorable dog cross my path. I kind of gasp and squeal like a child and suppress thoughts of snatching the pup up and making a break for it. But, I'm so excited about this project I don't really know how to talk about it. Morgan Nagler, whose previous band, The Whispertown 2000, released their album "Swim" in 2008 has re-emerged as simply Whispertown with a shiny new record called "Parallel" to be released through Acony Records on March 20th. "Open the Other Eye" is such [...]
![[VIDEO] Oh Land: Speak Out Now](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4049733_lg.jpg)
Oh Land is set to re-release her brilliant self-titled album and as part of the release package there is a new single and video to get us all very excited. 'Speak Out Now' is a beautiful addition to the album, it's packed full of her optimistic exuberance, uplifting lyrics and halcyon serenity. I still am completely captivated by her ability to balance her seemingly boundless energy with an incredibly calming ability. The video was shot last month in Denmark and like are her videos finds it somewhere between a peaceful dream, stunning other world and a [...]
**GRAMMY week is in full effect! Tonight I will be attending the world premiere of RE:GENERATION Music Project presented by Hyundai Veloster in association with the 54th GRAMMYs. Expect a full report on tonight's event come morning but, in the meantime, please check out my latest feature "Will Mainstream EDM Still Be EDM?" below.** Electronic and dance music is often seen (and unjustifiably so), as an undercurrent to the mainstream: always in the background, always there in a club or a hyperactive car commercial, but never really something that millions of people will turn to for [...]
Foster The People plus St. Lucia is a match made in musical heaven. Given St. Lucia's uncanny ability at perfecting warm, chill, caribbean synths you would expect their remix of 'Don't Stop' to mellow down the wonderfully danceable track and add warm glowing synths. Well then you would be like me, and you would be COMPLETELY wrong! St. Lucia this time has amped up the energy, sex and strut with electric guitars, deep synths and a sultry saxophone outro. Rolling Stone just premiered the [...]
![[EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD] Graph Gonzales: Eyes In The Dark (Automatic Panic Dark Radio Edit) + VIDEO PREMIERE](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4046180_lg.jpg)
I first had the pleasure of hearing 'Eyes In The Dark' back around Halloween last year, and its dark, seductive 802s inspired synths were the perfect way to welcome in the spooky holiday. The impeccable electro chanteuse has been very busy working on a new video for 'Eyes In The Dark'. Graph is mysteriously alluring as she pulls you into her dark world. The video is full of mystery, slightly disturbing clear clown masks and heaps of sex appeal I can't think of a better video for such a perfectly addictive dark synth filled track. By the end of [...]
In the animated world of ' First Serve ', De La Soul's Plug1 & Plug2 narrate the story of two young boys from Queens, New York with big dreams and larger rhymes. Their forthcoming concept album follows two friends, Deen Witter (aka Plug 2 / Dave) and Jacob 'Pop Life' Barrow (aka Plug 1 / Pos), as they make their way from jamming in Deen's mother's basement to hitting the big time and signing to Goon Time Records. Check out the video for their forthcoming single below and catch up with the rest of the story over at their [...]
![[VIDEO PREMIERE] The Limousines: The Future](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4044512_lg.jpg)
The Limousines track 'The Future' is the stark meeting of Shoe-gaze synth-pop and the macabre. Their first hit 'The Internet Killed The Video Star' briefly hints at this darker side, but 'The Future' lets it all out. The dark imagines and lyrics oddly hide a very positive and simple zen like outlook on life. "I wanna laugh as many times as I can before I die/I wanna love, I wanna smile; I don't need much, I'm a simple child/I wanna laugh as many times as I can before I die/I wanna love, I wanna smile, just wanna [...]
Sometimes songs just grab you and take you along for the ride. That is exactly what 'Slave to the Arpeggio' did to me, and what a wonderful dark-synth filled ride of musical mastery was it! Who is the man behind this song that hi-jacked me, through me in its trunk and created a fierce Stockholm Syndrome-like admiration?! That man is Katzenwaffe , a music producer and graphic designer hailing from Sweden. (Seriously the epicenter of most things wonderful in music) The run of notes, the pound of the drum machine and sizzle of the synths is unescapable and like [...]
![[VIDEO] Milano Sun: Already Gone](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4044150_lg.jpg)
Three young musicians from Gothenburg, Sweden set out to travel Europe with only their talent, love of music and a spirit of adventure. As trains take them to cities both famous and remote armed with the simplest of instruments they are inspired to create music that bares the mark of the places they visit and the people they meet along the journey. Their music is a soundscape that evokes the serene yet powerful energy of the sea, towering cliffs, rustling wind and crisp clear skies the trio are able express their feelings of love, loss, regret, betrayal and fear with [...]
![[VIDEO] OK Go: Needing/Getting](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4043854_lg.jpg)
The internet has heralded in a new Golden Age of music videos, and GRAMMY award winner, OK Go , has consistently been on the leading edge pushing its boundaries ever farther outside the conventional and expected. They took the lip-dub style video and elevated the style to Gus Van Sant levels with ' This Too Shall Pass ', created an entire internet meme and reintroduced us all the Rube Goldberg Their latest video for 'Needing/Getting' has only one expected thing in it, in that it's in no way the expected music video. Their [...]
From every direction, society bombards us with romantic movies, "I love you forever" candy hearts, and "LuvU23 text messages from teenagers who don't understand what the word really means. And then, once in a great while, we see or hear something that not only sends a clear, brilliant message, but which does so with great hooks, tasty harmonies, and voices that melt your heart. "A Million Years" is that once-in-a-great while song, and from a once-in-a-great-while artist, Johnny Stimson . I've often said in these pages that there are lots of artists I [...]
You know how people say they watch the Super Bowl for the commercials then 5 minutes into the game they're yelling at the refs through the TV and clapping every time the team with the cuter outfits makes a good play? I guess that's kind of how I am with the GRAMMY's. I say I just want to see the performances, but next thing I know an entire week is devoted to slideshows of red carpet outfits, acceptance speeches, who had the best hair, why did that person change 14 times, who is sitting by who, where's Gaga's meat suit, [...]
Two-time Grammy Award Winner and one of the modern era's most gifted pop troubadours, Jason Mraz will headline Live In The Vineyard on April 13th in the legendary Napa Valley! "I Won't Give Up," the heartfelt new single from Atlantic recording artist Jason Mraz, is quickly proving the first undeniable pop smash of the New Year. One week from its release, the song debuted in the #1 slot on Billboard's "Digital Songs" chart, with sales surpassing 225,000 and the lyric video has received over 7 million YouTube views to date! [...]
\ I'll admit - my first exposure to Lana Del Rey was her SNL performance. I was confused to say the least. She looked a bit like a made-over contestant from that short-lived reality show The Swan and I really wanted to walk through the TV and give her a mic stand. But then I watched her music video for Video Games.. and she's adorable. She gives me this vibe like every task or activity she does in life is done at about a quarter the speed of most humans. Just taking it easy. The recorded version of [...]
Picture yourself walking into a chic modern hotel or spa. For frame of reference purposes.. let's say you're from Virginia and you're walking into the Standard hotel in LA circa 2005. In you walk and the music just makes you feel fancy! It sounds like the future, but calming, and what you imagine sophisticated robots living a life of luxury would listen to during meal times. I'm more of a "let's listen to Billie Holiday while we dine because I'm retro" type of gal, but this track "Mercury" by c.db.sn has me thinking otherwise. The introduction reminds me of a [...]
Ahhh February, when the weather is not consistent, children of love find more ways to spend money on each other and we at Kick Kick Snare show our lust for all of you, by throwing 20 songs on a digital mixtape (CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE).

Approximately 6 minutes ago I threw on a 561 song party- playlist titled " letsgo up" (shout out to smart playlists ) and this banger kicked me in the dome. As I feel it is my duty to get you pumped and ready for the evening, I felt obligated to share this one with all of you. This is in new way "new" (released in May of 2010) but if you haven't heard it, it's new to you. KickKickSnare, White Girl Lust and Prince hope your evening is filled with the lust of [...]
Between the fish-tailing beemers/Alf Romeos, guns, garments, and M.I.A. with her royal-partier elegance, this video will certainly be on a some best video of 2012 lists. Shot by Romain Gavras in Ouarzazate, Morocco, it me wondering what other artists could do with an extra 500k-1mil bucks for a music video. "Bad Girls" was filmed in one of the worlds largest movie studios in the world (The Mummy, Gladiator), Mathangi had this to say about the shoot: "It was dope to have so many people from so many different backgrounds speaking so many different languages come together to [...]
