I have toyed around with various kinds of potential ways to get all of the music I receive out. I believe that whether I love it or hate it, someone put their bones and soul into it and it deserves to be heard. Some time back I started Shorthanded Goals, a monthly sampling of 12 free MP32s that I received that month. As I have stated in those posts though, I could easily do this multiple times a month...so I believe along with Shorthanded Goals I'm gonna begin a new feature titled Free For All. Free For [...]
Mysterious Aussie/Swedish twin duo Saint Lou Lou managed to win me over with just one perfect little gem of downtempo dream-pop. "Maybe You" , their first and only song to date, is a sublime synth-pop ballad with an '80s-indebted 'quiet storm' vibe. It's melancholy yet hopeful, subdued yet tender. It's the kind of track you can imagine yourself hearing on the radio in the back of a taxi cab on a rainy late-summer night. In fact, I'm surprised they didn't add thunderstorm sound effects to the intro, so I guess I'll make do with an open tab [...]
I posted two weeks ago the sweet song "Maybe You" by Saint Lou Lou, and here are the remixes of the song, out today via Kitsuné! My personal favorite is the one from upcoming French producers Le Crayon and Oxford. ... Continue reading
Australian girl duo Saint Lou Lou ’s Maybe You , which we featured last month , is out today on Kitsuné Music . Amongst the pretty special collection of reMixes, which includes work from CFCF and Good Night Keaton, is this luscious Nu-Disco workout from the team-up of Le Crayon & Oxford and a spacey synth epic by Pyramid . These two Frenchmen are amazing producers of summery beach party sounds in their own rights, but together they are unstoppable. Combining their funky, carefree Disco grooves and rousing retro [...]
Saint Lou Lou's "Maybe You" will drop tomorrow (August 27th) via Kitsuné with remixes by CFCF, Good Night Keaton, Oxford & Le Crayon and this one by Pyramid. As usual we keep on posting Etienne Copin's music. As usual he keeps delivering beautiful pieces of art. His remix sounds very respectful to the original but [...]
No Direction Home Festival || Welbeck Abbey, Nottinghamshire || 8-10 June 2012 The omens were not good for the inaugural No Direction Home music festival, setting out in heavy rain that only got heavier as the traffic got slower the further north I went. However, despite the slate grey skies and constant brake lights of the M1, a journey of over 5 hours was rewarded on arrival by a break in the weather than unbelievably lasted for the whole three days. No Direction Home is a new “little brother” venture [...]
"Pyramids"... 10 minutes of sexy intergalactic r&b cut from Frank Ocean's forthcoming "Channel Orange" LP, dude July 17. The track also features John Mayer having a jam. The track has several movements and flows like a voyeuristic story. Actually not as self-indulgent as a 10 minute r&b track would appear - or at least not in a bad way. John Mayer's jam breakdown is hot. • FRANK OCEAN [FB] • DOWNLOAD | Frank Ocean - Pyramids Posted by Celebrity Sex Tape.
channel orange-TV from christopher francis ocean on Vimeo . Frank Ocean of the Odd Future Crew dropped a whole lotta news and music for you all today. The first load of news dropped is a Frank Ocean Tour you can find dates and links to tickets on the oddfuture.tumblr.com page. The second bit is that he dropped a preview video and announced the release of his new album to drop in July. Below is the track "Pyramid" which will be off his upcoming album "Channel Orange." The track is [...]
Today's another Crippling Dreams Sunday that we’d like to get lost in, but because of those special women who birthed us we should wait. There is a time and place to overdose on vitamins. Loving all moms today, and saving these electronic drizzles for dimly-lit alone time in a musty room tomorrow is probably the way to go. But it's up to you (and the stars) so either way, cheers! Seatbelts on. Once you and the silent joker are strapped in, groove smooth down this long clear melodic synth freeway. [...]

Singer/songwriter Louisa Rose Allen’s recently had a second wind, as Foxes , when Neon Gold, always with the finger on the pulse of eclectic Pop, snapped her up for the release of her new single ‘Youth’. released earlier this month. Appropriately for Neon Gold, the single exists in the nexus between Ellie and Marina. Take Marina’s quirkiness and Ellie’s percussion led bombast and wrap them up with impassioned vocals and a sense of accessibility and it should see Foxes make quite a mark in 2012. You know Neon Gold has an eye for these things. The internet [...]
Time for another prescription refill. As fall draws to a close, its important that your body is healthy and ready for the elements. Winter Vacays tend to be hardest on your body... with a few heavy doses and a strict Vacay regiment you'll be able to go extra deep this holiday season. Let's get it straight to it: The DJ Shadow's Scale It Back remix competition is now closed and there are some amazing submissions. In my opinion, Robotaki 's stands out the most with his panty dousing treatment of this feel good tune with [...]
Eh si: oggi su Soundsblog abbiamo voglia di proporre nuove promesse della musica. Questa volta è il turno di una ragazzina che l'Italia ha conosciuto in un paio di occasioni. Si tratta di Charice , giovane talento proveniente dalle Filippine che abbiamo già intravisto in programmi televisivi come " Ti Lascio Una Canzone " ed " Io Canto ". La cantante si può vantare di un curriculum di tutto rispetto (vedi qui ) ed adesso esordisce nel mondo della discografia con il singolo "Pyramid"... e si parte col piede sbagliato. [...]
