Thom Yorke, Four Tet, and Burial. (This is crazy)
I've found the vinyl rips some days ago now... you can find them on blogsearch. Both tracks are good, ego seems to be leaded by four tet and mirror by burial. Not as good as the Moth single tho ;) New Burial is out next week too. Tracks I'v…

King of Limbs
Not sure if it's their most feminine album but it sure has some of the most delicate songs they've crafted. Second half is particulary soulful and devoid of the usual passive agressive tone and progressively neurotic bombast sound that they…

Non-music blogs
When I'm not reading anything music related I'm on marketing / advertising / design blogs which aren't really amusing. For entertainment I usually hit reddit. Always has something that will take one or two hours of my time.

The New Hype Machine
Anthony I was thinking it'd be cool to have a link to the author's hypem account (when available) somewhere on the blog's hypem page. I'd definitely want to befriend the people behind the blogs if they're active on hypem, fol…

The New Hype Machine
I'm ambivalent about the dubstep scene, it feels to me very limited these days... like the trance scene, only churning out 3 to 6 quality songs at most every year and each passing year getting increasingly tiresome with the same bag of tricks. T…

To Squashed - A Merry FU
I'm sorry Merz. I came home a little bit drunk last night and wasn't happy at all to see someone attacking squashed. I overreacted. I don't think squashed is Anti-american nor violent, there's nothing wrong in being critic about t…

Welcome to planet surveillance
Hello squashed! I've always wondered if you're a redditor. The audience in there is bigger and extremely sympathetic towards the points of view you share on planet surveillance issues.

Hypem open directory? http://hypem.com/download/ Found this on google searching for the Quarks album. Thousands of fake mp3 links disguised as an open directory hosted by hypem that redirects to digital stores.

I'm going to call semifinal teams.... Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Portugal. (Spain, Netherlands as European teams instead of Germany, Portugal would be interesting.)

I didn't know they were remaking 'Let the right one in'. I've always found vampire stories incredibly dull and corny but I adored this movie, certainly the most stunning vampire movie I've ever seen. I love how natural it fee…
