In a world where remixes and otherwise altered versions can often outshine their original tracks, it would be impossible to sift through all the amazing and pathetically generic "remixes," "edits," "rubs," "versions," and "mixes" out there in music land. I've decided instead to sift through our own archives from the past year and revisit some of my favorite cuts. I found that many of these artists have come and gone. or maybe I'm just not paying attention. If that's the case I plan make new friends in the New Year but hold on to the old and perhaps get [...]
This has been a truly awesome year for music both in the blogsphere and live entertainment world. The music industry has shifted so much that most artists with a sound sense of marketing and publicity can get their music exploited without help from major labels or corporate muscle. Below are 10 of my favorite albums this year which have all gotten great feedback through my shows on WVUM and through this here blog. There's a mix of well known artists and some lesser-knowns who really pushed their own albums to make sure we heard them. This was a tough list [...]

Stuarto Glasser, host of the All Around the World Music Show, called me up a little after 5pm Friday and asked if I could fill in for him. Thinking it would be a great way to attract a few more listeners I agreed. I headed home and put together a playlist of some of my favorite indie artists from around the world. The first half of the list below aired as the split show: The Indie Music Show from All Around the World. I began with some lovable indie [...]

Aerea Negrot, perhaps best known for her collaboration with New York DJ Andy Butler's ever-experimental collective Hercules and Love Affair (with whom she sang as well as danced), has finally branched out into solo territory with the genre-bending Arabxilla, produced by Tobias Freund and released in September 2011 on BPitch Control. The reputable German electronic label (founded by one of the most respected names in Berlin's famed electronic music community, DJ/producer Ellen Allien) seems the perfect fit for hard-to-place Negrot, as both tread far beyond the beaten path. Born in Venezuela to competitive dancer parents, Negrot [...]
Cut Copy are one of those bands that straddles the indie rock and DJ world. The remixes of their songs are sometimes as popular as their originals-especially when they get names like Mylo , Moulinex , Holy Ghost , Boys Noize and others to mess with their tracks. I caught Cut Copy lead Dan Whitford at the soundcheck for their Miami show. Cut Copy are here in Vancouver for a sold out show Friday and the good news is there is a second [...]

![[Listen/Watch] – Midnight Magic – "Drop Me A Line" And "Calling Out"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3708848_lg.jpg)
Tweet Buy me a soda and put me on a retro train with Giorgio Moroder, as long as it's not the Midnight Express. At least that's the feeling I've got from what the 9-member band have ensembled this time. First hitting each other up in L.A and later basing themselves in Brooklyn, New York, and joined by Carter Yasutake from Hercules And Love Affair, they formed a super group that you just can't stand still in front of their soulful energy. This [...]
