Vicki 's Top Lists of 2012 I went into 2012 with a very ambitious goal of trying to cover more musical ground than in the year before. I set up a playlist and began adding songs from all of the new releases, in an effort to keep track of them all. By March my playlist was already over 100 songs, and undoubtedly did not encapsulate everything new. This approach allowed me to sample a lot of different songs from a variety of artists, but I never really felt that I'd absorbed anything. More importantly, [...]

Thanks To Camilo for this great artwork. Looking back at 2012, there were plenty of albums that I loved. Was it the best year of music in recent memory? Maybe not, but it was a damn good year in its own right. There is a lot that we may look back on and remember well into the rest of the decade. This year I listed my Top 40 albums, as well as a few honorable mentions that were as close to making my list as they come. I didn't get to listen [...]

Favorite Albums of the Year Our last post of the year is the favorite albums list. Just like last year , I'll present my list of favorite albums from the year before I jump on my flight back to Denver. 2012 was an impressive year for albums, in my opinion. Last year, I had 3 albums that I loved and a bunch of [...]
![Best of 2012: Remixes [Top 12]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4692200_lg.jpg)
Last year was the first time that I did a "Best of" Remixes. So why not do it again this year. I am a sucker for songs being remixed and probably giving a bit of life to. You may agree or disagree on this list. Besides it might make you dance to it. So here it is my Top 12 Remixes of 2012. 1. Florence + The Machine - Spectrum (Say My Name) [Calvin Harris Remix] [...]

Win our top 31 albums of 2012 ! Read the original review Given the considerable success Passion Pit 's first album Manners garnered, it's always interesting to see what a new band will follow-up with. And while not a huge departure from their debut, Gossamer shows a surprising amount of restraint for a band known for their euphoric blend of electropop. While "Take A Walk" wasn't necessarily the first single everybody was [...]

I now present the top 3 finalists for this year's "Home" award. Appropriately named after Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros' hit song of the same name — a song so good, it's impossible to hate, even when it's overplayed and overused. In 3rd place, Of Monsters And Men with their hit "Little Talks". Having already conquered their homeland over the last couple of years, 2012 saw this six-piece from Iceland conquer North America and beyond. The band's debut LP, [...]

Two of our favorite artists have come across our eyes, rather our earz, yet again. So many people remix Passion Pit tracks and fall short of what the vibe the Passion Pit is trying to emit... that's is not the case here with remix artist Viceroy . If anything the vibe has been pumped up quite a bit. There are a few more climbs and a few more drops than the original, but it follows in stead with the Passion Pit -esque anthems. San Francisco native Viceroy hit the nail on [...]

You know who loves a good list? Every single one of you. Now get on with checking out the second part of my Top 50 Songs Of 2012 . In case you're curious, I chose the songs from the 400+ tracks that I shared around here throughout the last 11 months. Enjoy. 40) : Passion Pit - I'll Be Alright : I'm still not sure what Passion Pit were aiming for on their sophomore effort, but I dig this track a lot. I think it shows how adventurous their sound can be. From Gossamer [...]
La primer noche este gran nuevo festival, nos ha dejado mucho que contar; 3 experiencias totalmente diferentes en 3 venues distintos, con bandas nacionales e internacionales. Por nuestra parte, en la ciudad de Puebla, tuvimos la oportunidad de disfrutar -bajo una noche muy fría- de Pato Watson en DJ Set, Ana Tijoux, Band Of Skulls [...]

On the surface, PASSION PIT may seem like the kind of act that wouldn’t have a trouble in the world. Especially if you take the bright uplifting sounds on all their records as their way of telling you that (we may have been guilty of thinking that in the past). But in reality; there is a hell of lot more to this Boston 6-piece than first meets the ears. Since that fateful day in 2007 that lead composer/writer/vocalist, MICHAEL ANGELAKOS , wrote an EP’s worth of tracks for his at the [...]

Passion Pit además de haber sacado un disco nuevo, ha participado con este buen remix del tema "At Home" de Crystal Fighters , remix que forma parte del disco "Star of Love. Remixes" que estará disponible a fin de este mes. Si no has escuchado el disco "Star of Love" aún está disponible vía Soundcloud .

Passion Pit did a Remix...get out of town. No seriously, this remix of Crystal Fighters' track At Home by Passion Pit , is the bees knees. Picture this, you're sitting At Home, all kinds of bored, maybe a little unmotivated...and then this song comes on and the world becomes a better place, because at least you're At Home . Electronic Dance Music just gives a warm feeling in the pit of the soul. Crystal Fighters forthcoming remix album “Star of Love (Remixes)” is set for [...]
Got another one for you from E-603 . This just came out on August 10th...it's off of his latest mash-up album entitled Smoke Show , with Torn Up coming before that. It's called the Seaweed Song originally done by Passion Pit , who is one of our all time favs here at TheEagazm ...like I said, this Remix is worth checking out. You can thank Ms. Stephanie Truong , good friend and loyal fan of TheEargazm , for this one here. We love posting songs that our fans send us, [...]
![[memories] Outside Lands 2012](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4457945_lg.jpg)
It's been three plus days since Outside Lands came to an end and i've needed every minute of it to fully recover. This was my first legitimate music festival and it was a lot to take in. With that said, I would do it all over again this weekend if I could. I had so much fun last weekend, not even the total lack of sleep, the nightly struggles of finding my way home, the $9 beers, or the bird that shat in my eye Friday night will keep me [...]

Outside Lands 2012 has an eclectic set of artists to say the least. I'll be covering it this year and even though my main goal is to see acts I've never heard before, there are a few I know who I've got to see! Check out my top picks for Outside Lands 2012 below and let me know who I should and shouldn't see ( here 's the full line up). If you happen to be going as well, hit me up in the comments or on Twitter and we [...]

Never did smoking cigarettes and drinking straight spirits look so god damn sophisticated as in PASSION PIT' s new video for ‘Constant Conversations.’ The film takes us to one of those places full of secrets and hurt, but it’s all so classy and tasteful, you just want to be there anyway. Plus I get huge kicks out of watching MICHAEL ANGELAKOS sing; the guy is so suave. ‘Constant Conversations’ has a definite groove, almost indicative of the clips intended era. I actually really love it; [...]
