Gimme Shelter - Patti Smith Coral Den - Midnight Movies (friends of Alexi Murdoch!) People As Places As People - Modest Mouse Speak To Me Bones - Land Of Talk No One Would Riot For Less - [...]
MP3: MATT & KIM "Yea Yeah" ( MattAndKimMusic.com ) Although this single from their new self-titled album doesn't add up to much more than a couple of pop punk kids goofing around on the keyboards, Matt & Kim's playful energy is irresistable. The album is now available on I Heart Comix Records. tags: music | mp3 | indie rock | indie pop
Ever since I got my hands on the Matt & Kim EP (blogged about here and her e) I've been a fan of this Brooklyn duo. Go ahead and check out videos of their performances over at YouTub e for an example of their live work as well, since it's so good. Their debut full-length just came out recently and one of their tracks ended up getting a good nod over at p-fork . Anyhow, I was more than excited to finally sit down and give the album some [...]
Two new songs dropped into the ol' mailbag this week and I'm passing 'em along. No theme today. No reason. Just stuff I liked. Four Tet 's new release is Remixes . It includes a 2003 mix from the late, great Jay Dee of "As Serious As Your Life," a track from Four Tet's album Rounds . The groove is similar to the original, but Dilla gave it that characteristic soulful touch of his. Then [...]
::: Spank Rock - Put That Pussy On Me (Diplo Tonite Remix) ::: Matt & Kim - Yea Yeah ::: Clipse/MIA - Definition of a Roller ::: Brazilian Girls - Jique (MSTRKRFT Remix) ::: CSS - Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above ::: MSTRKRFT - Thank Me With Your Hands (Panthers Remix) OK, so I'm totally into these remixes of late. I'll listen to anything by Diplo or MSTRKRFT. I especially like the remixes of [...]
I don't have a specific theme for today, or even a particular artist to pass your direction. All I've got are some tracks that are doing me good, so perhaps they might treat you the same. A couple of new ones, a couple of old ones, a couple of pertinent ones; but not enough for a mixtape or anything. Call me indecisive. The Black Keys release their new album today, titled Magic Potion . Saw the boys live at the Fillmore on Saturday night, impressive as always. I always [...]

Ok, so the deal about the last week or so is that I've only been playing EP's. Not, it gets tiring to keep heading back to my CD player, but these things are killing me. Seems like there's been a rash of excellent (mostly debut) EP's hitting the floor these days. And, to top things off, all these bands have come to me through the interweb. Music blogs are the best, no? Anyhow, without further ado, I present a little list of my top EP's of recent past. Most of 'em have been released [...]
Taking a page out of an excellent blog, I Think I'm Floating , I think it's finally time I get around to posting about Matt & Kim. I actually found out about this band from a couple of friends in Brooklyn who went to one of these hosue party / concert affairs. Check out the YouTube video above . I want them to play at one of my parties. Although it's just a two-man drum 'n keys set-up, I'm so down with it. Here's a couple of tracks straight off their [...]
