Tweet Click the image to enlarge it Today Listen Before You Buy turns two years old, which may not sound like that big of a deal (things turn two all the time), but considering that I never expected anyone to really give a shit about the site besides myself and my cat, it's pretty fucking huge. Last year on our first anniversary I made an annual report of sorts, laying out all the stats and numbers and [...]

Género: Electronic rock, kraut pop. Ya comenté por aquí a inicios de julio sobre The Last Line , el adelanto de Tammar de su disco Visits que caía a finales de septiembre. El disco circula, y es buen disco, me encanta la portada, que satisface por igual a la legión rockera, la electro, hasta la más pop. Esos golpes infinitos kraut tienen la culpa. Pero Tammar son eso y mucho más, son drones, épicos, progresivos, grandilocuentes, sus canciones se estructuran [...]
Things are cooling off for the holidays and the music is getting interesting. The pickings seem slim upon first glance, perhaps, but prove to be quite bountiful when given the chance. For this we should be grateful. That's how we're supposed to feel this time of year, isn't it? This week gives us much reason to give thanks a few weeks early. The music never stops coming in from every neck of the woods, and what a blessing it is. -Winston Robbins Senior Staff Writer
Liz Harris, the Portland-based queen of ambient drift who records as Grouper, has teamed up with fellow PDX musician Ilyas Ahmed on a new project that they're calling Visiter. Together, they've recorded a new EP for Social Music's Record + Tape Club . Stream the dizzily pretty untitled opener below. Read More...
Noisy and epic, 'Visits' is a proper debut for the post-punk band Tammar. Read more » http://rpc.blogcatalog.com/

My good friend thereisnogrey just blogged about a band close to Melon and my heart. Had to reblog: Division Day - "Reservoir" off Visitation
On an a sunny summer afternoon I met up with Ashkahn in the heart of Los Angeles where he lives and works in his cozy apartment that he just moved into. The prolific artist showed me plenty of his recent works, along with some new pieces that he has planned in the mix. We then walked down the street to Reform School , an incredibly charming store where Ashkahn is currently curating a pop up shop selling his artwork on pins, prints, pillows, pencils, and even thongs. Yes, thongs. After going through the store, we ended up [...]
MP3: :visited - Touch Your Heat Toyko's :visited must've loaded up West Hollywood on his virtual reality headset (red convertible: check!), starting out this new one floating in some Dam Funk stasis before letting loose with that wiggly, futuristic groove, bringing more to mind the commercially-minded (but retro) instrumental beats Matrix Metals made for LA Vampires to warp/mess with than the streamlined, skyling dwelling dreamwave of "Sunset Article" . bandcamp
Det fullkomligt sprutar ut sängkammarproducenter ur Japan just nu (läs på), och det är som vanligt Cuz Me Pain som på ett eller annat sätt är inblandade. :visited , från Tokyo, har till dags dato medverkat på en kompilation som nämnda skivetikett släppt, men av Bandcamp att döma finns det åtminstone material till i alla fall ett eget släpp. Hur som helst, här kommer :visiteds senaste retro-funkiga skapelse - Touch your heat :visited - Touch your heat
Género: electronic rock, krautpop. Desde Indiana vienen Tammar , dispuestos a tensar nuestra paciencia con The Las Line , canción de adelanto a su larga duración previsto para el 20 de septiembre y que se titulará Visits . Y esta agradable afrenta que nos plantean, viene por su sonido machacón durante los cinco minutos que dura la canción. Percusiones marcadas, por momentos a trompicones, adictivo tirabuzón electrónico, guitarras con tintes rockeros, ecos vocales tendentes a himno... una compota sonora podría llegar a ser la antepenúltima evolución del [...]

Justin Bieber met with Japanese children whose lives have been devastated by an earthquake, tsunami and an ongoing nuclear crisis that has forced thousands of families from their homes. In Japan for several concerts, the 17-year-old singer spoke briefly with nearly a dozen kids. Justin walked into the room with the children and squeezed onto a couch with them. The girls and boys, all representatives of some of the hardest-hit communities in northeastern Japan, shyly peered at Bieber as [...]
Dayuuuummmmm. One year, eh? When I started the site I initially had a much broader and further reaching plan for it (which is being worked on by myself and my resourceful writers and I'll reveal to you all very soon), something that was nothing like how the site is now (a cesspool for sarcasm and snide comments). I bought the domain name back in late 2007/early 2008 and putzed around with it, first off playing with Joomla and Seeqpod (anyone remember that?), then letting it sit and then as it was about to expire a buddy (shoutout to [...]

Popop
Muidugi tuleb Jaapanist ka muud peale lustaka J-Popi, aga mõnikord on väga raske see miski muu sealt üles leida. Tokyo bänd :visited on J-Popist päris kaugel, või siis mitte. Jaapani puhul hakkad lõpuks kõiges kahtlema. :visitedi muusika on hip-hopine sämplimaania, aga seejuures õhuline ja õrn ja rahulikult kulgev. :visited - Sunset Article ( mp3 )
For this festive edition of the Pingcast we emailed ourselves to Tokyo for a Japanese music special. It's called Winter In Japan (the name took us a while). We put together a mix of our favourite new acts and got our buddy Tiger Reid in as special guest host. Tiger will be presenting her own radio show on Tokyo-based pirate radio station, Vincent Radio this Boxing Day. As well as working for awesome record label Hostess Entertainment , Tiger contributes to Monchicon and runs the amazing Tora Tora Bura Bura . You can download [...]
