We bring you the sounds that crash to shore, to wash over you at night
Big thankyou to all our regular readers out there! Just hit the most read blog on Hypem, if only for the moment. Keep any feedback coming on what we can do better, or what you already like.
MP3: Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles Save Christmas (requested to be removed)
First up is an absolute french classic. A fantastic duet by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot. She has such a beautiful voice.
Second is a track taken from Para One’s soundtrack to the 2007 French film ‘La Naissance des Pieuvres’. The entire album is such a departure from his usual Dudun-Dun sound, and surprising just how well he is able to craft downtempo music as well as dancin tunes.

“After weeks of talking and thinking.
After lots of discussions, it has come to me that the best decision would be to stop thinking about releasing this DVD
All I can say is that I wasn’t told to stop by the Daft or EMI in anyways.
The problem is and will always be about the samples that the Daft Punk are using in the tracks. Copyrights owners of those samples won’t never let me release this DVD in peace.
So I took the decision to only create 4 examples of this DVD : one for me, of course, one for EMI, and two for the Daft themselves.
It will now be their decision to, one day or another, release this DVD
I would like to say, one last time, thank you to all fans whome sent me videos so I can do my work. It is all yours
But as a final gift to you, I’ll take a “rendez-vous”, here, on this site, on june the 14, at 9 PM French Time for a final surprise. After that, I’ll shutdown this website.
Mathieu”
Go hunt this DVD down anyway you can before its torn from torrent sites everywhere. Fly you fools.
OHMYGOD! CHK CHK CHK followed by a nice serving of JUAN MACLEAN AND HOLY GHOST here in Melbourne tonight. Going to be a good night.

Perhaps this could start a new post category here at waves. Whatever tracks have been bounding up your play count that particular week. Either it will give people something new to listen to, or simply remind them just how good that track was.
Also, how much does it suck when your net gets capped. Sit there for like half an hour on one page hitting refresh, walk away all like ’screw this Ill just go outside’, then realize your back at your desk hitting apple+R (or F5, whatever). I feel like Im in that south park episode where the internet just stops working…

I think it must just be me, it seems. I never really got into Cazals. Phil’s voice just got on my nerves. I never knew why. Now that Ive listen to the album I do. All the songs are just radio friendly, meandering indie fodder. But you know, Im not saying this means theyre a crap band, just personally not to my tastes.
MP3: Cazals - Both Sides
MP3: Cazals - Were Just The Same
One band that IS though, is Ratatat. Always exciting, always different. The new album, LP3, sounds alot more considered and thought out that Classics, but still keeping with their trademark jittering, glittery guitar work. Though alot of the tracks feel remarkably down tempo from previous material, it doesnt feel like theres much to have you jumping around like Wildcat did, it is still a great album.

TST. No, I dont know what it stands for. Doesnt really matter. These guys make some dark, energetic, indie post-punk. There has been so much good music coming out Melbourne lately that I feel I barely have to look anywhere else but down the road to find it. If you dig these guys, just wait a few weeks or so til there are some shows announced, then I recommend making your way down to catch them live.
MP3: TST - Halfhand

I…love…this album. Nowhere is one of THE best shoegaze albums of the 90’s. After Loveless obviously. I would like the re-spread the love of these British gentlemen, because it seems like people are just getting onto My Bloody Valentine and not some of the other, great stuff out there. Well, here is my favourite track of Ride’s debut album.
MP3: Ride - Nowhere
First of all, how good were Cut Copy back in the day of the I Thought Of Numbers EP. Not that I still dont love them, but back then it was such a different sound. Full of samples and quirkly, jumpy little synth stabs. Now, Ive actually got a track that I wanted someone to help me with. Its an old one called Stars from like 2003, and I cant find what its from. Couldnt even find it on Discogs. Was it ever on an official Cut Copy release?
MP3: Cut Copy - Stars
Most of you would have heard this original which is an absolute classic, but Tronik Youth have had a stab at messing with it, which as wrong as it should be, is actually quite good. Pulls it apart and sews it back completely wrong, like if you were actually friends with Frankenstein.
MP3: Joy Division - She’s Lost Control (Tronik Youth Shred It Edit)
Next up is a band out of Toronto, The Cansecos who happen to be SXSW this year (like every single outher band on the planet it seems) and produce some fun, danceable indie pop. Honestly, Raised By Wolves (not a cover) isnt really anything explosively new, but it does bubble along quite nicely and good if your after some some rather unchallenging sounds.
MP3: The Cansecos - Raised By Wolves
What else have we got? The Emergency from here in freezing old Melbourne have been doing the rounds for a while now and Im surprised they haven’t really exploded. Perhaps not up-tempo enough for most, which I can understand. Even their live show isnt all that energetic, but the music is great. Go see them, buy their stuff etc.
Pivot - In The Blood
First official video by the first Australian band to be signed to warp.
