“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.” – Michael Jackson.

SONG OF THE WEEK

So of late Ive been getting really heavily back into old NY No Wave and experimental punk, and gone through pretty much every compilation I could dig up on the scene, but Im finding the tracks that have really been standing out for me are still the slightly poppier numbers. From a recent compilation that [...]

BLUE SNAKES

Canyons are fast risers. Signed to that Aussie label, the Sydney based duo (formerly Perth) have just recently signed a deal with DFA too, due to release a 12″ in July. How to describe this track? Its got a touch of balearic, with a dark and low pulsating bassline, and a haunting horn creeping through [...]

CONTROVERSY #1

Hello! Patch isn’t dead, his finally been released from the hold of uni work and other shit that comes with it. I have the worst internet at the moment which, in conjunction of having a lack of motivation probably has put me off blogging but I’ll be back. Promise. I promise OK! Good.
Look at this new series [...]

Places to which the “sixth borough” appellation have been applied include New Jersey (especially Hudson County, New Jersey or Newark, New Jersey); Nassau County, New York; Philadelphia; South Florida and even Israel.

THE PROCESS

In contrast to last week it would seem i haven’t lived life all that much and have just been ‘that old chestnut’ siting around being wistful and reflective, it is winter after all. In celebration of this forward thinking melancholy i would like to bring to you The Process.
Now, JD has posted these guys [...]

SLEAZE

Ive had this ages now but I had my tunes on shuffle, these two songs came on after the other, and just felt like sharing the mood. One is an old song, and not too old cover by the always unpredictable Glimmers. Second is some mutant disco from 80’s group Heaven 17. Enjoy, or dont. [...]

ACTION FIGURE PARTY!!

It’s not every day that you stumble across music gold in the bargain bin of a record store but every once and a while you discover something that just can’t be topped. Many moons ago i purchased Chromeo’s debut LP for a mere .99 cents, totally unaware of the love that would prevail, i also [...]
