Après une édition 2008 bouclée par deux programmations ex-cathedra ce printemps (au superdelux de Tokyo et au festival Rodinakino de St-Pétersbourg), le Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival pose les premières (grosses) pierres de sa 8e édition qui aura lieu du 14 au 18 octobre à la Cinémathèque suisse, au Zinéma, au Romandie et à l'Oblò. Au programme donc, comme toujours des films et de la musique barrés qui promettent de grands moments d'émotion aux 9000 visiteurs, à commencer par le point fort cinématographique 2009: la rétrospective consacrée au «Camp Cinema», mouvement emmené par Jack Smith, [...]
Dimanche, The Extraordinaires était de passage par les studios de Daytrotter pour une session live. Ce groupe est originaire de Philadelphie comme Man Man pour qui ils ont assuré plusieurs premières parties. Vous pouvez écouter la session live de The Extraordinaires ici.

Once again, we here at TSURURADIO are very proud to introduce 2nd in a series of guest writers from our beloved communities found in Our Society , on the Facebooks , and in the Twitter . Personally, I think the music lovers in our communities make up some of the most wonderful, unique, and beautiful folks in all of internetland, I really do! Got an album you are just dying to talk about, a mixtape you've been aching to share? Come on in, hang [...]
This past Sunday, hometown The Extraordinaires played their first Philadelphia show since their record release party back in June. They received a warm reception at Fishtown's Kung Fu Necktie, opening for the UK's Fanfarlo . Jay Purdy and crew treated their fellow Philadelphians to songs old and new as the crowd danced around, sang along and simply admired the local legends.

DId you know that Carlos Santana has a son who also makes music? Salvador Santana isn't an axe-master like his daddy, but instead prefers to rock the talkbox, as he does in this collaboration with GZA, "Keyboard City." "Keyboard City" is a pretty laid-back joint, and this is after mash-up extraordinaires the Hood Internet have stuck their hands in the song's guts. In more GZA collaboration news, the MC/producer has some more work coming down the pipe with some reasonably surprising artists, like King Khan, Dan Deacon, and Devendra Banhart, so watch out for [...]

Last week , we brought you 2 remixes of Blue Skies, from Noah and the Whale 's upcoming release, The First Days of Spring . Today, we continue on in fine fashion with another fix sure to put a big grin on your face. Quickly establishing themselves as remix extraordinaires, The Twelves have just come through with an arrangement that uses basslines worthy of KC and the Sunshine Band, which, in my little mind, is a sincere compliment. It's funky, [...]
WARNING: DIFFERENT LEVELS OF QUALITY WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THIS POST Absolutely awesome: Coldplay 's Strawberry Swing It's the fifth single taken from their multi-platinum album Viva La Vida , and alhough the tracks don't exactly set the charts on fire (which is totally logical, since the album sold 8 million copies), the band still offers amazing [...]

By the time you read this, I'll have departed to Chicago for this year's Pitchfork Music Festival . However, due to a concoction on laziness, lack of funds, and apathy, I won't be attending Friday's festival festivities. Sigh. However, all is not lost. After a relaxing afternoon exploring the city, I plan on heading to the Life During Wartime Dance Party . A chance to see mash-up extraordinaires The Hood Internet , is one too great to pass up. If you haven't heard of the Chicago champions of vs. remix and [...]

Pic: Lykke Li myspace,"Narcissique". L'electro pop féminine connaît son heure de gloire ces temps-ci. Parmi les La Roux , Thecocknbullkid , Little Boots et autres Dragonette , celle que j'idolâtre (et oui rien de moins, ça a bien atteint l'idolâtrie) c'est Lykke Li . La nymphe suédoise avait suscité le buzz depuis l'automne dernier avec "Little Bit" et depuis c'est la déferlante: elle collabore avec les [...]

Before we get started, you should check out this developing story about a disturbing incident that occurred in Fort Worth over the weekend. Unbelievable. Cool Out (The Cavern): We've been told that tonight will be an MJ tribute, with lesser heard material from the performer's early days and not the "usual three songs everyone's been hearing all weekend." Should be a good time. Paul Slavens (Dan's Silverleaf) [...]
It's Friday and there's buckets of shows around the area. There's one place to be and that's at Sonar for Black Lips , Spank Rock (featuring Ninja Sonik ), Popo , and DJ Jacob Safari (of The Mae Shi). Should be pretty rad. Down in DC the Red and Black have Elizabeth and the Catapult , Vox Pop , and Wendell Kimbrough while the Black Cat has our friends Bellman Barker , Donny Hue & The Colors , The High Strung , [...]

Nothing like seeing rock bands at 2 in the morning. I started my day yesterday with a wonderful brunch at Egg than I ran over to the Music Hal of Williamsburg to catch the Extraordinaires . These guys are as fun as they look in this image. I knew of them because they are good friends with the Peekers and they always raved about them, but I never had an opportunity until this weekend to see them. They put on a really good live show. Bands in general need [...]

Northside Festival | Day 3 | June 13, 2009 With shows going on from afternoon to well into night, Saturday was clearly the big day for the Northside Festival. Maybe it was because there was just more going on or maybe it was because I just happened to pick some not-so-popular acts to catch, but I ended up feeling the night's theme seemed to be a sparse crowd attending a show from a great band. Shellshag : [...]
