WAVES AT NIGHT

WORLD OF MAGICK

OK, this is a warning… You must sample/play/download/lick/fuck/etc. every song/edit/rmx that I have put into this post as it’s all gold. News wise… we now have Twitter so follow us on that bad boy. I think it’s social internet v3 or some shit so we may as well embrace it and not live like a [...]

LETTING GO

Beautiful track from 1989 from London band The Field Mice debut album, Snowball. That melody seems to have been pinched since then by a notorious melody pinching band.
MP3: The Field Mice – Letting Go

GLISS

Ive always had a very soft spot in my heart for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s First album, B.R.M.C, and have been waiting for something to come along to hit the same key as that. The new album ‘Devotion Implosion’ by LA three piece Gliss is the closest I have found. Its a misleading band name, [...]

HH + BERLIN

Ive fallen pretty hard for Higamos Hogamos. They just strike the right note between krautrock, disco punk and in some cases (like in The Future Hides Its Face) come off sounding like the more melodic synth-rock side of Regurgitator…you remember, way back, when they were still awesome? Heres a few new tracks, and a mix [...]

TRUE ROMANCE

Golden Silvers – True Romance
Watch for the girl at 0:42
There are very few bands who get me hot under the collar enough to check their myspace at least once a week for any sign of activity. Golden Silvers have had me hooked ever since their stellar single “Arrows Of Eros”. They’re one of those bands [...]

THE DEAD WEATHER

About 10 other blogs have already posted this news and Pitchfork has already done a feature article… i don’t care. I’ve never been so excited about a band combination before! Not like this. I love the rawness of The White Stripes and without sounding pretentious, i really do prefer their older stuff eg. black math, [...]

SONG OF THE WEEK

My Dad used to tell me that The Presets were just ripping off Depeche Mode. I didn’t really get it until I really started listening to them. This track I first saw on Rage years and years ago, then on the Anton Corbijn directors DVD and it kinda just stuck in my head. I suggest [...]

HIGAMOS HOGAMOS

The (hopefully) resurrected Have Fun Club beat me to this one, but who gives a shit. Higamos Hogamos will be the next big thing. Give them a year or so to refine their sound, and their infectious krautrock/psychedelic/electronica tunes will be up there with bands like Holy Fuck, Metronomy and whoever else is still kicking [...]

WOMEN IN LOVE

I’m one of those idiot friends you have who always seems to have some kind of drama going on. Although it makes for entertaining conversation when you get the question, ’so, what have you been up to lately?’ (which is usually the first sign that the conversation has ended before it has began) But in [...]

IDIOSYNCRASIES

Here I am with a little post, blogging from the lovely Sunshine Coast in Queensland. I’ve been here for a week and a bit, visiting my lovely girlfriend and calling it a holiday at the same time. Pinky promise that when I return the blog will be back at 100% running capacity… or something like [...]

FUCKING FUCK

This has to be a short post because Im getting packed to head off to the Golden Plains festival tomorrow (to catch Gary Numan, Of Montreal, Mogwai and plenty of other sweet stuff).
Im basically obsessed with heaps of great old Krautrock tunes, which Ill have to post next time. But one band that draws its [...]

RAD BEACON

I was never a massive fan of Dan Deacon, i loved his sound but found it all just kinda went in ear and out the other, just party music right? It was only after seeing him live at Summertones last week that i really “got” it. Setting up IN the middle of the crowd, talking [...]
