Wednesday, January 21st, 2009Yesterday was a great day! Not only can we finally say PRESIDENT Obama, but Matt & Kim‘s newest LP Grand, came out as well. I couldn’t agree more with the review over at Spin.com… “The tap-dancing keyboards and pounding drums of “Daylight” and “Don’t Slow Down” soundtrack the duo’s reflections on what it’s like to [...]
FREE DOWNLOAD: The Decemberists – The Rake’s Song
Saturday, January 17th, 2009In preparation for their 5th full-length album release due out March 24th, The Decemberists are offering up a free download of “The Rake’s Song”, from The Hazards of Love. Apparently the whole album plays like a story, so the album will be performed straight through for their upcoming concerts. You do have to sign up [...]
Housse de Racket remixes
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008So I have been hearing this song on the radio here in Switzerland for awhile by a French group called Housse de Racket. It’s you average catchy pop song, but for some reason it has really stuck on me. Here are a couple remixes you can check out by their fellow Parisians Gonzales, 25 Hours [...]
Gang Gang Dance at Music Hall of Williamsburg Friday night
Thursday, November 27th, 2008I’m hoping most of you actually do take a listen to the mixes by Vibes and Stuff that I post, because he has a knack for picking great music. Gang Gang Dance who was featured on his November ’08 Selection is no different. A band based out of NY with a sound that is being [...]
School of Seven Bells
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008I cannot stop listening to Alpinisms, the full length debut release of Brooklyn based School of Seven Bells (thanks again Andrew!). A record laden with dreamy pop and echoing guitar chords, it’s the heavenly harmonies of twin sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza that give the album an almost other worldly feel. They are playing Webster [...]
Lykki Li “Little Bit” (Aether remix)
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008So it has taken me awhile to jump on the Lykke Li bandwagon, probably because she has been everywhere I look in the blog sphere. Well, I’m not going to deny it anymore, because her album is growing on me more and more every day. As of late, I had especially been taken with “Little [...]
Stricken City
Friday, October 24th, 2008I love Brit Pop…especially the kind i can dance to. I mean sure, there are a ton of indie pop bands out there, all sounding the same, but London’s Stricken City just does it for me. Sometimes you can’t explain the difference but you know it’s there. Maybe its their lax guitar rifts or lead [...]
Matt and Kim
Sunday, October 12th, 2008Do you ever find yourself thinking, “hmmm….I bet it would be a lot of fun to hang out with them for a day”? No? Maybe it’s just me (my #1 would be Amy Sedaris). Well, I’ve found myself day dreaming once again, but this time about Brooklyn based duo Matt and Kim (honestly, I think [...]
Micachu
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008So I’m totally in love with Micachu and The Shapes “Golden Phone” track that Vibes and Stuff had on his September mixtape. London continues to be a hotbed for music right now, and this young lady proves it. It’s definitely an acquired taste, with funky off-kilter sounds, but it’s a great listen. Micachu (real name [...]
Emiliana Torrini
Sunday, September 14th, 2008Although I haven’t purchase the whole album yet, (see yesterday), I am positive Emiliana Torrni’s third album will be great. “Gun” was the song that first attracted me to the album, a dark departure from the folky, acoustic music she is known for. It’s gritty, yet funky bass, which is essentially the pulse of the [...]
