A month or so ago, a list of dates began to appear on all the usual music message boards. They were claimed to be leaked tour dates for a 2010 Daft Punk arena tour. Earlier today, a few of our peers (namely NME , Undercover , and Gigwise ) finally caught wind of these dates and reported on them. Well, kids, don't get too excited yet. As confirmed by the band's label, these supposed "leaked" dates are in fact fake. While the legendary French electric duo is expected to make a return [...]
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Hos, Hookers, Call Girls & Rent Boys collects stories, poems, and essays by sex workers. Compiled by David Henry Sterry and RJ Martin, Jr., the book organizes this collection of refreshingly genuine and brutally honest writings by category (love, life, money, etc.). The New York Times wrote of the book: "From the unappealing title, you might think this is a truly trashy [...]
Eventually discharged from the Air Force for being uncooperative and "evidencing a dislike for the service" , Marvin Gaye went so far as to fake mental illness in his efforts to escape the mid-century war machine he'd so gracefully speak out against with his first post- Tammi Terrell output in 1971 . Jokes to be made about the Gaye family and mental illness aside, it's a telling rebellion from artist in restless youth, one that first came to mind upon hearing the song featured in today's post. "Get It On In My Mind" is an [...]
The Note Books series features musicians discussing their literary side. Previous contributors have included John Darnielle , John Vanderslice , and others. Jookabox (formerly Grampall Jookabox) releases its third album, Dead Zone Boys today, a zombie-love rock opera. In her own words, here is the Note Books entry from Jookabox's Lisa Berlin: This same time last year I started reading about this magical place where this magical family had a magical farm. "I'm going [...]
Terribilis! Oh Tracy ! Oh Tracyyy! Ansiado el tercer trabajo publicado por el sello catalán, que ya está ahí preparadito! Esta vez es Bitcode quien aparece en portada. El de El Masnou deja su huella en Tracy tras pasar por Galleta como Dj Code. Tras sus inicios en el mundo del Hip Hop, subcampeón de Catalunya y España en 2001 y 2002, con sólo 17 y 18 añitos, deja caer su vertiente más pistonga (pistera+bailonga). Con "For Trash" empezamos creyendo que tenemos ante nuestros oídos un tema french housero [...]

Described as "The Presets on crack", Unit 13's debut album 'thesexthedeaththedisco' is a loud, dirty, and throbbing journey into the club scene. It is the sweat, euphoria and desire of bodies on the dancefloor. It is the voice of the club kids, the deviants and femme fatales. Robert Finder and Ivan Teklic began collaborating as Unit 13 in early 2008. In January 2009, their album was complete. They signed a deal with Australian label Generation Entertainment, and 'thesexthedeaththedisco' is now available on Beatport (link below). Unit 13 - Fall Into Me [...]

Recommended Show: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2009 SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS @ MUSIC HALL OF WILLIAMSBURG 66 North 6th Street Brooklyn, NY 11211 $20, 8PM With this being the start of the weekend and CMJ still going on, there should be some good shows tonight. There are some pretty good ones, but nothing so amazing as to be obvious. However, School of Seven Bells performance at Music Hall of Williamsburg tonight should be pretty memorable--and just off the beaten path enough that badge holders MIGHT be able to get in without too much hassle. [...]

My boy White Mike from out here in San Francisco has put together a very nice mix made strictly for dancing. In fact, it's called Dance Dance Dance. Check it out. By the way, we'll be spinning together on Friday October 30th here in San Fran at a party called "Something Wicked". I'll be posting the flyer up on the sidebar soon. Hit me up (BlaQwest) for the guestlist. For now, enjoy the mix. White Mike - Dance Dance Dance Tracks: 1. [...]
As the Remix Roundups enter double digits I decided to drop the incremental titles and go for a more archive-friendly date format. You will thank me someday. About this collection of hot remixes? You can thank me now. ♫ The Very Best - Julia (Javelin Re-do) / This is one of the best remixes I've heard in a while . Javelin takes one of the weaker tracks off of TVB's fantastic album and completly rips it up, turning "Julia" in to a full throttle fist-pumper. [more The Very Best ] ♫ [...]
You may know Vitalic , who is French/Italian DJ and Producer Pascal Arbez . You may also know some if his side projects, Dima, Hustler Pornstars, The Silures, or Vital Ferox. All I know...is this is some highly sick music. I first listened to his track "Poison Lips" which is available for download below, along with a video. His music is super thumpy, but also has these synth swells that are just plain nasty. In 2005, Vitalic's debut album, OK Cowboy was released on Different/PIAS Recordings. Pascal states that all of the [...]
It is no secret that I have what some would clinically deem an unhealthy fascination with that we call the moustache . I've sported one for several years now; it's red. Well the latest video from Camera Obscura finds the band's mastermind, Traceyann Campbell, doing the same. Yeah, it's fake (of course), but that doesn't matter. Like all Camera Obscura videos, this one features a unique little storyline both fun and creative. "The Sweetest Thing" is off Camera Obscura's latest, My Maudlin Career , their [...]
One of Tracyanne Campbell's great gifts as a singer is her ability to inject a very real sadness into the bright indie-pop of Camera Obscura . My Maudlin Career has many such moments. The video for the new single "The Sweetest Thing", which premiered on Pitchfork recently, is a perfect example. The video features wigs, fake moustaches, Simon & Garfunkel look-alikes, and a sepia-toned costume party - all trying their best to disguise the sense of longing that runs throughout the song. "I would trade my mother to hear you sing"…..damn. [...]
