Bob James and David Sanborn – Quartette Humaine (2013)

May 20, 12:33pm Something Else! Reviews

Apart, and most certainly together, Bob James and David Sanborn have most often been associated with a sound more easy-going and palatable than necessarily challenging. Not here. Quartette Humaine, imagined as a tribute to Dave Brubeck's time-shifting collaborations with Paul Desmond and ultimately recorded a week after Brubeck's passing, showcases two underrated jazz artists reasserting something that maybe we all [...]

‘I have ultimate respect for the man’: Journey’s Neal Schon on his distant relationship with Steve Perry

May 20, 11:41am Something Else! Reviews

Neal Schon, touring again with Journey after completing a pair of solo efforts and sitting in with Sammy Hagar, is never far away from questions about his old bandmate Steve Perry. He admits the two haven't spoken since 2005 - though, at the same time, there are no lingering animosities, either. "You know what? I say nice things about him, [...]

[video] Today’s Hits: “Cooler Jerk” on Chic-A-Go-Go

May 20, 11:38am You Aint No Picasso

I couldn't really tell you what Chic-A-Go-Go is, but it looks like a rad, ultra-low-budget kid's show. The reason it's popped up on my radar is because they hosted a lip-syncing performance by James Swanberg BKA Today's Hits. This dude has been writing a song a day for years, with a great many of them [...]

[New] Smith Westerns – 3AM Spiritual

May 20, 11:18am ShinyShinyNew

Smith Westerns' sophomore Lp Soft Will is on its way and, having already dropped Varisty (undeniably one of ht best songs of the year), they've continued the pure gold streak with 3AM spiritual. The apathetic circular melodies that made their debut such a winner are back in full force and it doesn't seem to far fetched to predict that their new one will be one of the best full-length of 2013.

I've spent the past couple days packing up books, records and everything else I own in preparation for our move this weekend. While doing that I've also been converting the last of my CD collection to digital backups. This has led me to no small number of old favorites that I haven't heard in a [...]

Download: Swizzymack – Big Butt

May 20, 9:54am Vibe to This

Like Sir Mix-A-Lot, Swizzymack has released a track that gives more air to a woman's derriere, in case the above artwork didn't make that clear enough. "Big Butt" is more than just your average booty shaking banger, with sharp trap cuts, and a heavy electro foundation, Swizzymack has created a soon to be club staple.

[New] Two Jackals – Cartagena

May 20, 9:10am ShinyShinyNew

The Brighton based four-piece Two Jackals have just dropped their first proper single. Premiered on Fake DIY this morning its a looming slab of dark, ethereal melody topped off with sparkling guitars and heavy hearted vocals. Not something that will put a spring in your step as you trudge to the office but pretty perfect all the same.

‘It affected me very much’: Stevie Nicks on the Beatles connection in Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Beautiful Child’

May 20, 9:06am Something Else! Reviews

Stevie Nicks has spent years sorting through the tangled history of her affairs with bandmates Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood. With "Beautiful Child," however, she was talking about someone else. The coming-of-age song, part of Fleetwood Mac's sprawling 1979 effort Tusk, actually focuses on a brief fling that Nicks says she had with Derek Taylor, the late road manager and [...]

[New] Virals – Wax-Work

Messy post-punk layabout Virals is back with a new song. Tiled 'Wax-Works' its a searing blaze of scuzzy melodies and sunny riffs. The grungy, slacker aesthetic is already pretty massive this summer (Splashh, Childhood etc) so get ready to see him making waves in the festival fields.

Would I Ever See The Exit Door

May 20, 8:24am Fluxblog Is So Hot Right Now

Classixx featuring Nancy Whang "All You're Waiting For" The key word in the title here is "waiting" – it's a song about counting down the seconds to see somebody, and the nervous energy that goes into anticipating that moment. The little nuisances along the way to that moment seem like more of a hassle than they would usually, and the excitement is mixed in with a vague fear of disappointment. But despite this tinge of doubt, "All You're Waiting For" feels like an optimistic, happy song, and it's not just a matter of a dance beat [...]

Real Connoisseur – Jungle Jakarta

May 20, 8:12am Loudat

MONSTER BREAKS AND BASS Just so happened to catch young upstart Real Connoisseur DJing in a dirty basment nightclub this weekend. The 19 old Oxfordian successfully took the place to pieces and then kindly handed me a copy of his forthcoming release "Jungle Jakarta" due to drop some time in June. ( I think that's what he said .I couldn't see very well by that point) A thunderous rolling cut fusing electro sensibilities with crack-smoking warehouse jungle breaks. Watch out for this one.

Mercury Falls – Truth Over Lines (2013)

Patrick Cress' brainchild Mercury Falls is back again three years after they debuted with a project I previously opined that in their alchemy of jazz and alt-rock, "these guys figured it out right from the start." Fueled by a successful Kickstarter campaign, Cress & Co. assembled another batch of studio recordings christened Truth Over Lines. The follow-up to the praiseworthy [...]

| Tracks | Shannon and The Clams: Rip Van Winkle

May 20, 6:44am Mescla Sonora

São um dos segredos mais valiosos do garage norte-americano nos dias que correm. De coração assente nas décadas de 50 e 60, Shannon and The Clams trazem à memória coletiva os mais genuínos e melhores momentos do rock n' roll swingueiro dessas décadas, orgulhosamente festivo e apaixonado, próximo da interpretação atual dos Detroit Cobras ou Hunx and His Punx. Rip Van Winkle acrescenta mais um exemplo arrebatador ao seu espólio de canções, soando como poucos em pleno 2013. Absolutamente irresistível. MP3 Download
