New Build (Full Album Stream)

And it's up. Thanks to PMA (Again) on this one. They Rock. So far the four songs that were leaked last month were the best (INMYOP). May add Schizm of the mind in there tho as it sounds like a My Bloody Melody produced by OMD. Pretty well displayed genre busting over here. This is some serious Gabriel influenced pop. Still on Do you not feel loved? as a washer (Mind Cleaner) and the vocal at the end of Finding reasons is up and out! I say buy it. If I can find a record store I just might.

Miike Snow Video for "The Wave"

This is a pretty good song. At first listen it swings. Sounds morphing with each other, tweaked vox and a drummer boy roll. All things I like. The video is not describable. Odd but pulls you in. In an, I must see what happens next. Nothing does but you still keep watching. Well, there are dancing cops eating bagels and pastries so that's pretty good.

New Gorillaz Feat James Murphy (LCD) & Andre 3000

This is pretty much the shit. Funk, pop, bop, into punk-esque screaming & guitars back down to an echo synth, kik & Snare simplicity walkout. Yup, the shit.

Handbraekes is pretty bad ass

Technot or future what ever you want to call it, is everywhere rt now. This colab between Mr. Oizo & Boys Noize is Pretty nuts. Thanks to Disco Demons for the hook. Good blog, great attitude. Get funked.

New Dr Dog full length album stream

I've been waiting for this new record for quite sometime. When I first heard these guys they were already around for a while. My brother looked at me like is was living in cave when I asked what he thought of them, although, he did agree with me that they are sick. This new album is good. It's not super consistent but I dig that too. All about the spectrum of 50's pop, 70's soul, 70's folk rock and even some new school, Honeycut type of synth based intros and under vibes. Good deal. Dig it.

Black Francis makes electro!!

Good to see Frank Black breaking out of the blues for some Grand Duchy colab with his wife. In this land of strangers... there are dangers.

Sebastien is mad!!!! (SO GOOD)

Dood! I think Tellier's lost his mind! In the best "Dune"- like kind of way:) This record is looking to be FUCKING EPIC! Check the video and see if you agree...

New Santi Gold - Big Mouth

Good stuff here. Fun vibe. Free download. or watch the video here via PMA http://shuffler.fm/tracks#!channel=site_url%253Ahttp%253A%252F%252Fprettymuchamazing%252Ecom&position=1326952505.13269525277584&track=511806

Old song. New video. Sick sh*t.

This ones on SKOA. Great blog. Anyway, Old song, new video. Excellent animation/concept. Always dug the lyric in this track. Skank Guitar drop on melancholy acoustic rolls. Sweet execution all around.

New Scissor Sisters :) Hell yes Moomba

New Video VIA PMA blog. Good shit here. Track is awesome, video is cute but, odd but really, it's the Scissor Sisters so.... for them it's tame. Sounds like it's gonna be a good record!

New solo by Ra ra riot singer

Pretty good from what I see / hear so far. Have yet to listen to the full album but I like this video :) Enjoy. Oh and thanks to some kind of awesome!

New Holy Ghost Video & Download feat. Michael MacDonald

I've been spinning these guys for years. Love me some Holy Ghost. This video hit today all over. Pretty cool animation. The track is very much HG typical, delayed synths and a clap beat but, as always it's smoking. And it's got the old head Michael MacDonald singing on the chorus. Pretty crazy. Got this hook from Pretty much amazing. Great blog, check em out.

New video for Helena Beat by Foster the people

So these guys had a hit with pumped up kicks last year on the PB&J vibe. It was good but a little same same.... although everybody seemed to like it. This track has been out for a while but the video popped up recent like and reminded me that THIS TRACK IS SICK. Oh and my brothers chum Isom from Chain gang of 1974 is playing with them now so it's extra sweet! Big things I see for these youngsters.

Man I love me some Kasabian

New Kasabian album drops soon. I must say I'm kind of surprised these guys aren't Aussies :) Some what similar in style to the last album but so what! They are good at what they do. Can't wait for more of this record. For now here's the title track video courtesy of listenbeforeyoubuy.net Enjoys

SebastiAn - Embody

Not brand new but the album is... SebastiAn (Ed Banger Records) is future funk! Nasty and just plain NASTY!This guy is making music for me :) And I hope you too. Enjoy

Oh land...Oh man.

Oh land. I was digging the remix that's been out for quite some time of "sun of a gun"by Yuksek, but this "wolf & I" track is smooth as hell. Great vox style, simple beat that's still full and very peaceful. Dig it.

Another TVOTR Track

This new one hit today and it's strange. Quite a few styles in here, Bowie, Tribal drums, Fishbone kind of horns at the end. Pretty cool at first listen. Have to wait and see how I feel after 10. So far so gold though. The break at 3 minutes is slammin and ripe for a remix.... :) May have to hit this one up. Enjoy

JUSTICE-CIVILIZATION

Um. yup. Really on the "A cross the universe" vibe... Heavy. But something different here... Vocals. A lot of vocals... Very good, very addictive, very interested to hear more from this album. I remember playing D.A.N.C.E. in the winter before it came out and said "This will be everywhere during the summer" to some friends. Well it did and I couldn't have been happier. Then they went the movie route and "ACTU" was good but not pop... more hardcore. With the return they went even more metal... I've been on the kick for quite some time saying electro is the new heavy metal, like 15 years actually. So with Justice making Pop-metal and MSTRKRFT rocking Iron Madien ish I think a few others have come around to the notion that genres can be non existent now a days. Throw a little Black Flag on some Daft Punk, put a KRS-One vox on it and there you go... Oh wait I've been doing that for 15 years! Oh Alec, Mr Empire... You had it right Industrial Grunge Tech KICKS ASS!!!

Yelle (Simian Mobile Disco) RoCKS!

So this album is fucking ridiculous! I don't even speak French anymore but so what. The beats are by SMD and not many producers today can compare. Art first listen I kind of neglected the vox cause... well it's Yelle. Cutesy and pop but the more I listen the more I get addicted. Seriously ahead of the curve over here. Get over, hear?

P,B & J Original "Second Chance"

So this track isn't all that new now (2 months or so) but RAC just remixed it so here's a side by side for you. If I never heard the original, I might be listening to this a lot. Usually RAC Has some 4 on the floor bang. This time however they went with the melody and turned a punkrocker into a mellow zone. Dig it but the original is far more exciting. What do you think? Hit the comments!

Peter, Bjorn & John RAC Remix (A side by side)

So this track isn't all that new now (2 months or so) but RAC just remixed it so here's a side by side for you. If I never heard the original, I might be listening to this a lot. Usually RAC Has some 4 on the floor bang. This time however they went with the melody and turned a punkrocker into a mellow zone. Dig it but the original is far more exciting. What do you think? Hit the comments!

Biblio - Excuses (Video)

This new Biblio on Warp Records is... well... Nasty. Like if Prefuse & RJ hooked up at a bar with a singer. Glitch is not dead

R.I.P. Nate Dogg

So I realize this is not a new track but due to today's news I figured I'd post a remash I did a few years ago. R.I.P. Nate Dogg the slickest west coaster. 213

New TV on The Radio

So this is the second track I've heard from the new record. I was not feeling the first as it seemed a little lazy to me but this on the other hand is good. Real good. Glad to see them back. "Dear science" was amazing. Can't wait to hear more.

MSTRKRFT - Beards Again

New MSTRKRFT just went up. This is pretty CHUNKY shit right here. To quote another lover "Pretty Maiden". Very serious and really good.

Starfucker (Via SKOA)

So this is Starfucker. I've been playing their tracks out for a few years now. They are really good. This new full album stream and video for "Quality time" is courtesy of Some kind of awesome. A blog I follow and quite frequently have good back and forth with on new music. They have good opinions as well as pretty good taste in music. The video is funny as hell and the album is all over the place in the best way. From a "My Bloody Valentine" wall of sound style to a strait dance floor bang. They chase a lot of genres down, hold them on the floor and tickle them until they cry uncle.

The Cars are back

So I think it's only fitting that my first post is of a bands return to the spotlight. The Cars were a major influence on me as a kid and still are. The second I read that Ric was talking new material, I kind of lost it. I mean... New Cars. Wow. This is Blue Tip one of the first tracks out there and it's good. Like no joke good. I think a lot of Cars fans may be disappointed with this track but not me. It sounds like Ric was hanging out with James Murphy and he got inspired to flip his own version of "Watch the tapes" with some big guitars and chunky analog synths, it definitely is a dancer. Can't wait for more from this epic reunion.
