I could've made this list twice as long but I capped it at 50. Most of these are actual singles. The rest should be. Beyond the top ten, ordering is fairly arbitrary. Metronomy - The Look ( MP3 | Video ) I first heard this song back in February and I have yet to tire of it. I wish the keyboard solo outro lasted forever. Exlovers - Blowing Kisses ( MP3 | Video ) Rocking shoegaze pop of the highest order. [...]
I waited till 2011 to finalize my albums list - all my lists - partially due to laziness, being busy, the holidays... but mainly because I'm not sure what the hurry is. I don't do this for the web traffic (clearly), so I gave myself a little more time to decide than usual. (And as long as this goes up before the Village Voice' s Pazz n' Jop, I don't feel delinquent.) So here's my list, the top five or so have been a lock for almost half a year, but the rest were in flux right till I [...]

The Schönbys are fictional, made-up awards for me to let you know what I've enjoyed listening to during 2011. Winners and nominations are drawn from music I have seen, heard or bought during the preceding 12 months. 2010, to me, seemed a poor year for music. When it came to choosing my top albums of the year I struggled to come up with a top 5. Was it a general dearth of good music, or just the fact that having a young baby meant I had other things on my mind? Maybe both these things transpired to cause [...]
Ook wij kunnen in deze tijden van list-o-mania niet achterblijven, daarom: onze (democratisch...
It seems that the real cool kids on the blog don't do end of year lists. Well we like them and hope that those miserable sods slip in their paper shoes and find other people's dirty hankies in their bobble hats. Those artists who will be sobbing into their pillows tonight because they didn't quite make it onto our list include blistering aural adventures by: Wooden Shjips, Cave, Dead Skeletons, Eat Lights Become Lights, The Field, Moon Duo, Blanck Mass, Hills, Benjamin Shaw (sorry, Jamie), Gruff Rhys, Dels, White Denim, King Creosote & John Hopkins (robbed!), and Mike [...]
It's almost the season to be jolly, but just before the holiday season we are in the midst of "the list." Yes music mags/zines and blogs are full of endless lists, lists about the best albums, best gigs, best songs, lists about lists. It could leave you feeling quite listless and we can't have that, so , here's our list, we've even checked it twice! Yup it's that vertigo inducing career high that results in being presented with a special VPME trophy ( known colloquially as a " Pipster " ) we therefore present the music that touched, inspired [...]
21. Benjamin Francis Leftwich 'Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm' - 2011's preeminent folk record (from a man). 22. Manchester Orchestra 'Simple Math' - Intense and tranquil all the same. Stunning. 23. You Me at Six 'Sinners Never Sleep' - Boys grow into men for prime pop-punk. [...]
Género: indie pop, rock. Thomas Sanders (vocals), Peter Cattermoul (bass, vocals), David Thorpe (guitar), Jonny Sanders (drums), Peter Hefferan (guitar, vocals) son los piratas de Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom, y el pasado 23 de mayo con One Thousand Pictures (una eternidad) pusieron a la venta su segundo larga duración, que ha pasado de puntillas por nuestros oídos. Al menos por los míos. Poco se ha hablado del disco, y no está nada mal, a la altura de su debut Little Death , quizás más pop. Como muestra, [...]
Tweet Earlier this year Pete & The Pirates released 'One Thousand Pictures' so in all likelihood they made anything involving words to describe its wonderfulness entirely redundant. The way pictures and their painting ways are known to do. In our eyes, or more specifically our ears, lead singer Thomas Sanders is the epitome of those genius writers with a gift for the lyrical gab and endlessly loopy melody. It's quite a distracting talent, keeping us from the billion other lesser species that [...]

by Stephanie Stevens-Wade Photos by Joshua Lawrence For a majority of music lovers the start of summer is the start of festival season: overpriced tickets, boxes of wine, headache-inducing lights shows and portaloos that burn your nostrils. Whilst you're packed like a sardine in the crowd dodging the flying cup of 'cider' spinning above, a day festival, set in a secret serene Kentish woodland sounds like heaven. Curated by The Laurel Collective , [...]
In the wake of their sophomore album One Thousand Pictures , and despite rapturous acclaim from broadsheets, tabloids and radio DJs alike, Pete and the Pirates front man Tom Sanders sounds pensive. "We're going back to basics. That's how we started out, meeting up in each others bedrooms," he begins, explaining the band's new tactic for song writing, "Yesterday and the day before we spent some time recording. We're doing demos, basically – pretty good quality demos of a few new songs. It sounds really cool; quite strange, but quite intriguing. It's compulsive [...]

After the release of Pete & The Pirates second album, One Thousand Pictures , Reading's finest jingly-jangly guitar band release their new digital single, 'Half Moon Street' on August 29th, in advance of taking to the road on a headline tour of the UK the month after. Added to this, they have also released a couple of most worthy remixes - from the aforementioned album - as free downloads, including a Phewneral remix of 'Winter 12 and the excellent Dan Le Sac Remix of 'Come To The Bar'.

It's been some time since I've posted on this blog and I am happy that topomodesto gave me the opportunity to put together a mix. In the face of algorithm driven mix generation I hope that there continues to be interest in crafting diverse listening experiences. What may start as a matter of convenience easily translates into common practice. Collecting and orchestrating music samples into coherent ideas may be perfected by professional dj's, but I find my interests don't take root until I search out the connections between songs and artists myself. And this invariably leads [...]
SINGLE REVIEW: Record store geeks are aware Tame the Sun kills amps and vinyl stock from Male Bonding's Endless Now . This is a virtual high-five over to magician/producer John Agnello , or at least until I see him at the Mercury Lounge show this coming August, 29 2011. This track first leaked via Spin and it's pretty awesome. Sub Pop's Male Bonding have all the right ingredients and hooks in this tune. Starts-off with a dirty-gritty ampeg bass and just takes off to outer space from there. The vocals have a [...]
Dan Le Sac 's applied his midas touch to Pete & The Pirates ' 'Come To The Bar' off their latest album 'One Thousand Pictures' , out now. We've been given exclusive access to it and we think it's a rather ace, chilled, half tempo affair that wouldn't be out of place in a club in the middle of the night or on your stereo the morning after.
