![[Electronic] Keeping Balance w/ Phoenix Remixes](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2139692_lg.jpg)
The Music Ninja is all about variety and balance (nothing compared to the picture on the right tho!). Our previous post was the amazing acoustic version of Phoenix - Lisztomania but just so you know we are serious about keeping it balanced.. check out this dubstep version of Phoenix 1901 by Neon Steve and a much layered Lisztomania version by Alex Metric and another take on 1901 by Alan Wilkis to even things out.

My recollections of the two Levi's OnestoWatch 5 night revues earlier this week veer from the hazy to the crystalline. Both events were heavily subscribed. Violens were undeservedly on first on Tuesday, their shimmering pop went down a treat. Crystal Fighters pulled out all the stops, whipping the crowd up into a melée that saw assorted Hoxton luminaries lose their shit. Not literally, the day after Clock Opera continued to cement their reputation as White Noise made its way into the record emporiums. Wolf Gang impressed sonically, though it was difficult to enjoy as a spectacle once my brain had [...]
RED HOT TOUR 2 Acts You Should Know Metric and Band of Skulls - Two of the brightest emerges on the emerging music landscape are on tour together right now. They will play back-to-back tonight [ ticketing ] at the House of Blues Boston . [...]
Want a couple of free tickets to Friday night's Metric show at the House of Blues? Of course you do. "How do I get them?" you likely ask. Simple: 1) Email two friends who are not yet melophobe readers, linking them to melophobe.com (or your favorite page within melophobe), and saying something enthusiastic about us. It can be enthusiastically positive. It can be enthusiastically negative, but then you have to live with the guilt of talking shit while asking for something for free. 2) Address a new email [...]

Haven't done a real time review in a while, and hey, Fall Be Kind just leaked. Let's see what's up. Here's a live blogging of my thoughts, revisited only for editorial clarity or to fix grammatical errors... Graze (5:22) - Dang, kinda sounds like a Disney film. Like, this fits in well in Aladdin specifically. A ballad sung by Jafar. Dreamy piano drops in at the 2-minute mark. Kinda John Tesh-y. The synth swells and whispy vocals a minute later is similar to Mercury Rev, but like, kinda bad [...]
Contrast Podcast recently asked music bloggers like myself to submit our favorite 50 songs of the year for their annual "Festive 503 podcast. Our selections were then compiled into a shortlist and now we've been asked to recruit votes to narrow it down. For the curious, I've bolded the 10 songs I personally voted for. I really, really want "Nice Very Nice" by Kurt Vonnegut & Dave Soldier (from their album Ice-9 Ballads ) to make the final list. Not only because it's my favorite song of the year, from my favorite album of the year, [...]

It's a night of firsts: The first-ever performance by Marvelous Marbles (left, photo by Colin Meney) at the first-ever show held at Bloc 11 in Union Square (Somerville).

I can honestly say I'm a fan of pretty much everything Emily Haines has done so far, musically. There is Metric of course, and there is her solo stuff, but there's also - let's not forget - her many wonderful collaborations. Some, like " Anthems for a 17-year Old Girl ", seem to be universally loved while others, like " Stopwatch Hearts " or " Uptown Girl ", are less well known. From her songs with Stars and The Stills, to her involvement in Crystal Method and even Tiesto projects - it seems that this is one musician who cannot [...]

We last caught Metric at the WFNX Best Music Poll outside at City Hall Plaza in August. The sound was fairly insufferable (just the nature of an outside show at a venue that wasn't planned for that use) but we got to see a rare-ish acoustic performance with Metric playing as a duo. For a glimpse of what that was like, Metric have shared their new acoustic EP with us, check it out: [...]
We featured the PINKNOISE family as the Indian representative in the November edition of the Music Alliance Pact . The song we featured, 'Dream Dream', comes from a soon to be released live DVD called Quirkwork that features the Kolkata rock act performing at the Princeton Club in their hometown. While the band had earlier posted footage from the DVD on YouTube, they're now offering a six song MP3 sampler available for download via their Bandcamp page. The tracks for download are 'Junk' 'G-Metric Yoyo' [...]
For ramblings on how I came to compile this list go here . And for commentary on previous selections: [ #50-46 ] 45. The Weekend - The Weekend (2000) Probably the most obscure selection on my personal list comes by way of London Ontario's now defunct The Weekend. At the turn of the century I was listening to a lot of embarrassing music and, as expected, when I took the time to revisit some of those [...]
