I found this video on Facebook yesterday when I was just stumbling through my news feed, you know how it goes. Nevertheless, this video comes from the Bay Area, and features my hometown Foster City! Besides that, I am loving the track. The lyrics are honest and really lighten up your day. The beats in the background are sick as well, and have that "feel good" hip-hip ambiance. Keep in mind these artists are new and that I'm sure they will have more to offer in days, months, years, to come. Just to put this out there though, [...]
Lady Gaga will grace the cover of Elle 's UK edition this month, and the singer is clearly jumping ahead toward Spring fashions — in the behind-the-scenes footage of the photo shoot, Gaga wears frilly, feminine frocks in shades of light pink, periwinkle and mint. (A fitting color, since, as she stated in her "Marry The Night" prologue , she believes "that mint will be very big in fashion next spring.") Jump below to watch Mama Monster wear a variety of pastels in the video, as Two Door Cinema Club's remix of "Electric Chapel" (available on [...]

Million tears - The Pastels Speaking of songs with a million versions. I posted the 123 version before , so this time it will be the Kid Jensen session version from 1984. Unnecessary, but hey it exists and some of us find it thrilling that it does. Yes, i'm really cool...
From the LA Times : The BBC News reports that the pastel drawing, believed to date from the 1880s, is currently on display at the Abbey Walk Gallery in the town of Grimsby, England. It was purchased by a British couple 18 months ago for just £1,500 ($2,463). The portrait shows a man who resembles Van Gogh sitting cross-legged in a chair and wearing a top hat. The report states that the couple has been attempting to verify the subject of the drawing. The portrait bears the signature "Jeanne Donnadieu" and features the word [...]
Labelling yourself "progressive electronica", as Liverpool's Capac do, can be a bit problematic, because if you add nothing to the textures already being fired onto the internet by seemingly everybody with an e-mail account, you end up looking a little bit self-absorbed, maybe even a bit deluded, and quite a bit of a dick. Capac, as they probably know, have no need to worry. "Palindrome" eases its way to amongst the most interesting left-field electronica we've heard this year, and it wasn't even released this year. How progressive is that? Its gently swelling synths and stuttering production is [...]
Something Going On - The Pastels I watched Upside Down: The Creation Records Story last night and of course it wasn't good enough for me. It wasn't made for me. It should have been called "Breezy excerpts from the Creation Records story: Catalogue numbers 12, 15, 55, 57, 70, 73, 87, 96... blah, etc. with whatever drug stories interesting enough." Primal Scream, Oasis. You get it. It was bound to be this way. I think i would need [...]
Million tears - The Pastels ? and the Mysterians sang of 96 tears, an oddly specific number that carries in its specificity that those tears were indeed real, tallied, felt, cried. The Pastels in 1984 raised the lachrymatorial ante: One million tears. Who's to say that number is any less calculated than the Mysterians'? Is one million such an outrageous number? It is such a go-to hyperbolic number, but it is as likely to be a precise measurement as any. Time, significance, personal propensity [...]
I november förra året skrev jag kort om min längtan efter ett nytt släpp från den fromme electronica-producenten Shells , vilken då lindrades något tack vare låten Clay . Igår välsignades vi med en hel liten EP (d/l) och alla förhoppningar om vad Khalid Rafique är kapabel till besannades. Titelspåret Pastels är särdeles behagligt Shells - Pastels
London appears to be in the middle of a heatwave. I have just been to the park by my flat, and there are grown men with no shirts on. I didn't know where to look. The timing couldn't be better, then, for Shells to release the Pastels EP. Shells' work is the ultimate sunshine soundtrack; microscopically delicate compositions in a vaguely Hebden-like mould. The title track is probably his best yet, complete with a fantastic drop about half way through. Download the EP for free below. [...]

I've been wearing this record out lately. Similar to the first two Pastels records.
Supposed to understand - The Pastels Doo-be-doo Doo-be-doo Ba Ba Ba-da-da .

![[Listen] – Two New Songs By Exlovers – "Moth-Eaten Memories" & "Blowing Kisses"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3136138_lg.jpg)
Exlovers are a 5-piece indie-pop group from London. I first heard the band when I downloaded their 2009 EP "You Forget So Easily" solely because I liked the album artwork (something I do very, very rarely). And boy, am I glad I liked that album artwork because the songs on that EP were enough for me to declare Exlovers as one of my favorite new acts. The best thing about this band is that they successfully do what a bunch of other indie-pop bands fail to do: they never let their songs become too sugary sweet. They are [...]

Die Heroen des C86 , die sich hartnäckig geweigert haben, auch nur entfernt mit der Bewegung etwas zu tun haben zu wollen und die mit diesem "Truck train trucker" trotzdem so etwas wie eine Hymne geschrieben haben?

MVRemix RockWhat does music eight years in the making get you? A dynamic duo encompassed by multi-instrumentalists that are inevitably familiar with collaborations. Aidan Moffat and Bill Wells are set to release "Everything's Getting Older" comprising of distinctive piano driven, jazz-filled love ballads concocted with Moffat's unique, but definitely more reserved lyricism. The accomplished Aidan Moffat spawns a distinct discography, which include his solo projects under Aidan John Moffat, his full name or as part of his band Aidan Moffat & the Best Ofs. Not to forget his pivotal part in the Scottish Arab Strap band. On the other [...]
