Nicolas Jaar has put out a new track featuring Scout LaRue on vocals (the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore). And damn fine vocals they are too. It’s a smoldering beauty and very hard to […]

I know we only mentioned these guys last night, but on further digging I found this piece and it’s a work lifesaver. Released last year it is a “90 minute tonal workout […]
This caught my ear today. To be released on 14 February 2012, a new album from Lucky Dragons called EXISTERS. They are giving away the first track here. It’s a hazy mix […]
The first single from the Magnetic Field’s new album has hit the net and as ever, it’s lots of fun. “I’ve always been a ladies man and I don’t have to brag, […]
In Hype Machine’s 2011 version of their Zeitgeist series they have selected No More Workhorse as one of the blogs to determine the top 50 albums of the year! As the Hype […]
We did a post last year that still gets a bit of interest about when Mercury Rev were a really exciting rock band and I heard an old Flaming Lips track today […]
As much as December is filled with lists of what was good in the year just gone, January has now become filled with predictions of what will rock our collective worlds, in […]
I spent the weekend in my family home and at one point I had a random shuffle through a pile of CDs in a box – I pulled out the following three […]
Directed by Marco Morandi for Dustin O’Halloran’s “We move lightly” this is a lovely video using digital animation to perfectly compliment O’Halloran’s haunting yet beautiful music (Robert Lippok-Pataphysical Remix). We mentioned A Winged Victory […]
Ah. Ok, here we go! Time to nail my colours to the mast. What does that mean anyway? After a quick google search… “In nautical battles colours (flags) were lowered as a […]
Well, maybe not a gift, but a very good deal, none the less. Just found this on Foggy’s facebook page: “limited Xmas bundle: buy a ticket for Kurt Vile, The War On […]
These lists basically mean nothing but we love (and hate) doing them. It’s definitely a love/hate thing. I love it because it’s enjoyable going over all the music you’ve heard in a […]
Yes, there are those that love this season of good will and kindness to all men, and then…. there’s Gruff. I guess his name gives a lot away, bah humbug and all […]
I did travel to ATP thinking that the first day would be the clear winner, but I left confused, bewildering and racked with conflicting emotions. Troubled, would be the easiest way to […]
Saturday was hump day for me, with a post Tyondai Braxton Battles curating the day, and a line up that didn’t sparkle my imagination. I’d have to be honest and say if […]
Yes, the dust has settled and all that’s left are the belly aches and a few fleeting memories. Before it all fades away, I’m going to go back through some of the […]
Recently I have discovered the band Lilys who were formed in the late 80s in Washington DC. Apparently the band revolves around one core member, Kurt Heasley. Anyway, they have plenty of […]
I’ve kinda neglected Videodrome so here’s the official video for a song I’ve been digging the last week. It’s Believer by John Maus. It was apparently “created using a mixture of rare […]
Ok, so Caribou are taking the reins for Sunday, and I’d imagine that they’ll be the best band of the day themselves, as they are playing with an 11 piece band! It’s […]
Saturday is post rock day at ATP, with Battles taking over the curating mantel. So, what’s in store, i hear you cry? Well… Bitch Magnet is a great name for a band! […]
Only hours remain until ATP’s Nightmare before Christmas, so I’m hitting the books hard! A lot to get through in very little time. Lets see, who do I know nothing about that […]
Phil Carney was in Red House Painters between 95 and 2001 and later played with Sun Kil Moon. He’s recently started to record under the name Desertshore along with pianist Chris Connolly, […]
Altered Zones, the Pitchfork off-shoot, has officially closed for business. I didn’t always dig the music they were showcasing but I certainly appreciated what they were doing. Apparently the two founders are […]
Two new gigs for you from various parts of left field. Well, one of them anyway. A Winged Victory for the Sullen were mentioned before by us here, and are strangely making […]
Ok, so this is oldish news. As fans of Sonic Youth probably know Kim & Thurston separated after 27 (yes 27!!) years of marriage. This happened a couple of weeks ago and […]
It’s the first Music for Babies in a long, long time, which I think is number 8! Laura was born in Colarado in 1973 and already has a fine selection of folk […]
One of the best Irish bands around ‘O Emperor’ are giving away a free track. It’s actually pretty good, see what you think below.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while and it really hit me how much I a) love John Carpenter movies and b) love the music in his films (which he largely […]
