The new cut "Cousins" from Vampire Weekend' s upcoming album Contra is a frantic frenzy of jaunt. It's a short burst of energy, coming in at two and a half minutes, with those California influences Ezra Koenig has cited in the abundance of interviews. Dick Dale would be proud if he heard those ripping surf rock guitar lines. Contra is out on 1/12. Vampire Weekend - "Cousins"
![[NEW] Vampire Weekend – Cousins](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2131517_lg.jpg)
Vampire Weekend are (officially) back! All is right in the world again! I have some college work to catch up on, but how could I concentrate when there is brand new Vampire Weekend to post about??? Vampire Weekend's new single "Cousins" is finally here in recorded form! I can give up listening to Cousins live all day now. Hurray! My roommate will certainly be pleased! If I had to compare it to a song on their debut album, it would have to be "A-Punk". Both are short, quick, pumping rockers. I really adore Ezra's quick chants [...]

N.A.S.A. is more a concept than an actual artist. North America/South America (N.A.S.A.) is the idea of combining multiple music influences from two large and broad continents. Earlier this year the creative collaboration of Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon released their debut piece of work entitled 'The Spirit Of Apollo'. This was essentially a 17-track compilation of a huge variety of collaborations. By calling upon artists ranging in music styles, influences and cultures and pairing up unusual duos, trios and even quartets the idea is to bring closer cultures through music. The result is a very diverse and [...]

Coasting Listening to this track, I half-expect Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield to suddenly appear, in a mess of sideburns and jerry curls. The krautrock thump of the drums, combined with a wobbling, dirt-encrusted riff that Dick Dale himself would cream himself over, make for something that sounds like it's off the soundtrack to a undiscovered Tarantino VHS.

surf // indie eclectic During my year spent in Tel Aviv I've learnt about many indie artists and been to a countless number of local gigs. Many of these discoveries I have already shared with you, avid readers, yet there is one act both Paul and I have been wanting to introduce to a winder audience of music lovers. Tel Aviv-based Boom Pam sounds unmistakably Mediterranean. There are Greek influences (think energetic Greek wedding music), Oriental motifs (traditional Middle Eastern melodies) and Balkan rhythms (passionate and vibrant) in their music. You can [...]

From Disco Punk : You might know about the TOTM Mixtape that NASA made for a Hong Kong based store. Well, we've been keeping this for a while and we think that it's already about time to give it away. The mix is FANTASTIC, it would be a total waste to let it be restricted only to those who spent $1,000 on CLOT. And as the artists are now ok with that, feel free to share it. Sounds good to me.

![London All Stars - British Percussion - Barclay Records [reissue]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2020066_lg.jpg)
I've been trying to gather info on this band/album ever since it came in the mail, and I've found that this album came out in 1965. Thus, this must be a reissue, right (I mean, copies of the original vinyl LP cost $600 , so ...)? Right. Now that we've got that settled, I can get straight to raving: London All Stars ' British Percussion is a fantastic collection of instrumental tunes that slot between surf music circa The Ventures and [...]
Bristol Duo Malakai Unleash 'Ugly Side Of Love' Album Debut on Domino Records January 12, 2010 "Malakai are a stand-alone Bristol sensation" - 4/5 Mojo "Malakai mix Love-style garage psychedelia and trippy samples with modern production savvy. The result is catchy, off-kilter backdrops for vocals that are a clear tribute to Horace Andy. Think Mellow Gold-era Beck crossed with the Kinks." - The Observer "Outsider pop that's unlikely to remain out in the cold for long" 4/5 – Q "Like a hyperactive DJ spinning between a nuggets boxset" - 4/5 Uncut [...]

T he name Snowman may not jump out at the average North American, but in the quartet's hometown of Perth, Australia, a snowman is actually somewhat exotic-- given that the city has only recorded one temperature below freezing in its entire history, it stands to reason that there haven't been a great many of them built there. But while their name may be a little mundane, the music they make is anything but. Over three records, they've established themselves as a band bent on carving their own path, and The Horse, the Rat and the [...]

L'attesa è finita. Stasera alle 21.15 scatta la terza edizione di X Factor , il talent show di Rai Due . Confermato il team, con Claudia Mori al posto della Simona Ventura . Come al solito qui si parlerà solo della musica, non del gossip. Bocciata al penultimo giro Simona Galeandro , la vicintrice di Castrocaro 2008 , definita "troppo tradizionale". Dunque ecco tutti i partecipanti, sotto la direzione di Francesco Facchinetti al banco di comando. C'è invece e ci fa un gran piacere, la leader di una band [...]

What do you get when you mix The Jesus and Mary Chain , industrial sampling, and a "passionately loud volume"? A Place to Bury Strangers , of course. Since releasing their self-titled debut that mixed My Bloody Valentine with Ministry , the proclaimed "loudest band in New York" have had me nothing but eager to hear a sophomore effort. Come October 6th, their second record will drop and it doesn't disappoint. Titled Exploding Head , its just as powerful and abrasive as their first LP, except in this second go [...]
