......probably know this song better than many other flop singles from 1994. While I can't vouch for this myself, I believe it is a playable track in Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour . I believe they are some some sort of interactive electronic games. Whatever happened to the days when you picked up a tennis/badminton/squash racquet and did it yourself all in your own head? mp3 : [...]
We've posted some new reviews. You can check them out below: A Wilhelm Scream - A Wilhelm Scream [12 inch] Kids Like Us - The Game This Time Next Year - Road Maps and Heart Attacks Lion of Judah - (Number-rology) [7 inch] Touché Amoré - ...To the Beat of a Dead Horse [12 inch] [...]
click image to view artist in itunes Sounds like: At the Drive-In, Get Up Kids, Colour What's so good? Emocore! Okay, it isn't. But some of you might claim it to be borderline. I, however, would maintain that these guys bring a raw and exciting sound to an already well-travelled genre. And because that isn't the easiest thing to do, I feel as if this English post-punk/alternative trio, Tubelord , deserve to be featured on Indie Shuffle . Indeed, [...]
I'm with you, kids - let's celebrate the end of another week. Before we leave, though, let's do a quick recap: - We had more fun with Magnetic Fields covers . There's a whole slew of more fun coming this Sunday, when Part Five drops. - I dreamt of crack . which was whack, but it helped to remind me of The Moldy Peaches, which was whacker. It also reminded me to subtly plug my nascent dream blog , which was the whackest of all. - We saw Random [...]
No kids, Madonna hasn't invited vogueing, she just stole it from the underground. Watch this awesome documentary of the pioneers of this extraordinary dance style. Unbelivible scenes!
Nesta sábado o Killer on the Dancefloor toca no aniversário de 3 anos da Blush produções. Aproveitando essa passada deles por aqui, aproveito pra postar uma de suas mais novas mixtapes!

Todas as informações sobre a festa estão na agenda mas já vou adianto [...]
A couple of weeks ago, we went to New Orleans for a friend's wedding. We had a chance to see the World War II museum and the fancy new wing that Tom Hanks helped contribute with and the new theater much cooler than an Imax (it's in 4D!). The picture from above is taken from the museum, and before the trip, I had no idea there was a WWII museum. I guess Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are teaming up again to retell the story of the US invading the Pacific during [...]
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Blake Butler is the rare young writer who consistently and effectively challenges his readers. Scorch Atlas is a haunting collection of interconnected stories and vignettes, a dystopian work of genius. The book itself is a work of art. The internal pages are individually distressed, and the page edges and cover appear burnt and scarred, and the design complements the book's theme perfectly. Matt [...]
By DL and Frank Phosphate FRIDAY Mary Anne Hobbs / Blixaboy / Pandai'a / Royal Highnuss /VJ S (eye) Plus Unified Minds /Gallery Cat/ MC Astro / Bodega Brothas (Outside) (Green Elephant): Pretty big catch for Dallas to have such a prominent figure of both Dubstep as well as the BBC here all the way from London. Hobbs played music by Wanz Dover's Blixaboy project on her influential show, which is what eventually led to this event, and it's good to see [...]
For the first time in months my Google calendar boasts no shows of note this weekend. Not to say that there aren't any good shows in town, just none that I've marked weeks in advance. On the bright side, however, that does free everyone up travel Oswald's Trail of Tears route this anniversary weekend. Personally I am thinking about visiting the empty tomb of Nick Beef. Anyhoo, keeping with yesterday's promise for more non locally-relevant music, I give you Computer Perfection. Comprised of former members of Detroit's Pas/Cal, the indie-rock vets perfectly mix 8-bit sounds with they psychedelic [...]
Let me be the first to wish all of our readers a very merry Thanksgiving holiday. While you're stuffing your gullet with turkey and dressing, we'll be here all holiday long providing you with the latest Chicago music news and reviews. Also, beginning in December, we'll start our best of the decade/best of the 2009 lists. So that'll be fun. This weekend, we're spotlighting tonight's Pixies' show, Peaches and Permanent Records Third Anniversary Bash at The Hideout. But before we get to our picks for top weekend shows, a reminder: [...]
Interview with Rhymesayers artist Toki Wright – recorded live at The Metro in Chicago, Illinois on November 18 th , 2009. The Fresh Air Tour featuring Brother Ali, Evidence, Toki Wright and BK-One. Being a fan of hip-hop for some time now I have seen quite a few hip-hop shows and have met quite a few artists. I can't enough how true and respectful and giving the artists on the Fresh Air Tour are. This was easily one of the best hip-hop shows I have seen in my life. A total party from start to [...]
As I mentioned earlier this year, it seems that as a result of the recent times, Brooklyn, New York has become the center of the world for indie rock aficionados. Sure, maybe the Dodgers will never move back east, but Brooklyn has definitely developed into something much larger than their former baseball team could ever compare to. Singer/songwriter Tim Williams certainly feels right at home and well within the walls and camaraderie of Brooklyn. While literally clicking alive on the heels of his third full-length album , Careful Love , Williams channels his personal darkest hours of reconstructive [...]
Nobody can argue against the almighty power of the mixtape, especially after a year like 2009. We have seen artists like Wale, Drake, and Kid Cudi rise from underground hip-hop to the main stage of radio, MTV and iTunes. As purveyors and champions of the mixtape, we here at BDN strive to filter the best of the best to you the reader. Here are some late season goodies that have been playing around the office the last few weeks. First up is the much anticipated Mixtape Volume 4 by Hood Internet . [...]
If you like punk, and you live in L.A., Headline Records is the place to go to. When I have friends from out of town, I make a point to drive down to Melrose. Jean-Luc has seen the scene grow from an international standpoint. And if you have a chance, listen to him talk. Like with Curtis from TAANG, when I'm in Headline, I'm just a student in this punk game. 1. When did you start Headline Records, and what gave you the idea [...]
I'm copying this verbatim from a press release I just got from Pierce Freelon of The Beast. I wish they'd had cool events like this when I was in school! HIP-HOP/JAZZ QUARTET THE BEAST PARTNERS WITH NCJRO TO GIVE MUSIC EDUCATION SEMINARS AT TRIANGLE HIGH SCHOOLS The Beast will deliver jazz education workshops at Durham School of the Arts and Chapel Hill High School this semester.

Micachu and the Shapes are the latest hot indie band to end up soundtracking a Crayola commercial, as their "Golden Phone" has been turned into music kids can melt crayons to. It seems crazy to me, since I am 64, that normal crayons stopped being enough for kids, and they need to be involved in the crayon making process. These kids have no idea how hard we had it back in the '40s; only eight colors, and we liked what he had. We never even dreamed of melting crayons, because of the Great War, and all. [ Stereogum ]
