On Setting Things Straight:Let's be frank: that best-albums/songs-of-the-decade-list isn't happening. I could try to pretend that Santa is real and that he's the one who didn't get you your Christmas presents this year, but I'm going to be honest. On Blogging vs. Life:It's amazing how life is, really. One day you're a free-wheelin' blogger doing your thang, and the next, you have a life. It's

I found a great oldies playlist over at Guilt Free Pleasures in case you're looking for some Christmas classics to play at the party, or just by the yule log. If you're Jewish, well, there's always Adam Sandler.Before the New Year, I'll be back with part one of The List. Until then, if you're not looking for some Bing Crosby,

On Thursday night, I was fortunate enough to see Arctic Monkeys at Terminal 5 in NYC. The actual concert experience was fairly unsatisfying, but that didn’t detract from the fact that they were absolutely brilliant. The opening act was Screaming Females. As openers go, they were OK, but that’s the last time I’m listening to them. The three of them really know the way around their instruments, and

In 2008, an unfinished version of “Logos” leaked onto the Internet. So disheartened by the ordeal, Bradford Cox (of Deerhunter) almost canned the idea. Thankfully, he did not. Now, back under the name Atlas Sound, Bradford returns with his well-anticipated (and finished) 3rd album “Logos”.The album starts with the very Sung Tongs/Feels-y ‘The Light That Failed’. It sounds like it is going to get

*pic*It's 2009. That means pretty soon, it'll have been just another decade that passed right before our very eyes. Many blogs will be making lists, I'm sure, of some of their favorite music videos, albums, artists, and songs from the past decade. I'll be doing the same, because frankly, I'm not very original. Sometime before the end of the year (December, possibly January) I'll post three lists

Oh dearest, dearest Sweden. I love you. I've never been within your borders, but I have experienced you through the sense of sound, listening to the many artists who have flourished and spread like a vine across the Atlantic Ocean and into my heart. From Love Is All, to Teddybears. From Shout Out Louds to Peter Bjorn and John. Sweden, if you're reading this, this post is for you. Mainly because I

Alas, November is finally here. The air has a certain crisp chill to it that is uncharacteristic of October, and on Sundays the streets are dead and quiet. Coming soon this month will be a review of Atlas Sound's Logos by Double Hawk, a guest writer on Danish Poet who also writes for the music blog Lines Of Oration. I thought the best way to welcome the new month would be by posting Booooooom's "

When I was very young I remember dancing in the kitchen with my mother while The Beatles played on our stereo. I didn't care what I looked like when I danced, whether it was around the kitchen table or at a sweet sixteen. To this very day, though I have grown more reserved, I will occasionally break out into a groove that cannot be stopped for a good five minutes. First, it starts with my foot

It's easy to forget that Manhattan is an island. Just a couple of minutes under ground and a few dozen ears popped per subway car leads you to a metropolis so totally different, it is in its own state of being. Some will look at it and grasp it by the horns while others will be overwhelmed, yet often in awe and fascination. As I said before it is easy to forget that New York is an island, for it

Every time I see the trailer for Where The Wild Things Are I cry. Every time, guaranteed. And I am not the cry-whenever-I-see-a-remotely-sad-and/or-touching-scene-in-a-movie-type. The only other movie I'm ever really guaranteed to cry whilst watching is Cast Away.

Saint-Claude is the capital of the pipe. Magon is happy to visit it.One century ago, a lot of factories of pipes were running the city (now only 2 remain), also the polishing of diamonds. Facing hard life of work and strong winters, the workers were meeting in this "House of the People", La Fraternelle (name that I can roughly translate by "The Fraternal"), to make their life better : common food

Every week I come up with a new story. A new idea. A new movie plot. The theme to a tale I've been mulling over in my head for weeks on end. An ending scene to a movie I remember first imagining a year ago. Characters are often loosely based on actors I enjoy like Jason Schwartzman or Joel McHale. The plots range from alienated families to Jewish violinists. A nerdy but incredibly smart boy who

I have a great fear of needles. When I was younger, however, I used to be fine. Fearless, per say. I was as nonchalant about blood tests and vaccines as I was going about my daily business, which didn't consist of much, being that I was five years old. After a painful doctor's visit when I was around seven years old, I have since strongly feared needles. It was a blood test gone wrong - though

Thought this music vid was pretty punkin'. The Heavy pack a some more soul into "Sixteen" (which happens to be produced by Jim Abbiss, best known for his work with Arctic Monkeys) than I usually post about on this blog, but it's a solid track that's worth a good listen.

I did a post a while back on Discovery, an electronic side project between Vampire Weekend's pianist and Ra Ra Riot's lead singer, and decided to do another being that they'll be releasing their debut album LP, on July 7th. The 10-track will include a Jackson 5 cover "I Want You Back," which seems strangely appropriate for MJ's passing. Michael Jackson never seemed like he really grew up. He was

"Freak-A-Zoid Robotz," a ridiculously robotic song (hence the name) by Bobby Evans, sounds probably what Daft Punk would sound like if they made arcade music while on acid. It's a call to robot rebellion, and the Them Jeans remix, a synth-core take on the freshly oiled classic, is nothing to be soon forgotten itself. Download the remix below, and watch the arcadian music vid for "Freak-A-Zoid

Sparkletone's haunting new instrumental, "Metamorphosis," lays down a star-spun melody that twinkles, sparkles, then soars. Carried aloft by distant piano chords and luminescent bells, the beat provides foundation to this eerily beautiful masterpiece. SPARKLETONEMETAMORPHOSIS

This is a flippin' great music vid I found over at Change The Thought for the Dan Black track, "Symphonies." Combining a mixture of different film styles ranging from the 40s to the future, the film brilliantly comes together in a sweeping "The End," going to the beat of the chorus. Not only is it a good track, but Chic & Artistic did a fantastic job designing the vid. I tip my hat in wonderment.

Pogo lives in his own little word focused on childhood memories, distinctive beats, and magical rhythms. He uses the soundtracks of children's movies and the voices of their characters to weave a world reminiscent of long rainy days, spent cuddled up on the couch watching Alice In Wonderland, or Mary Poppins. It seems that Pogo has matured in the manner of music making, but kept his imagination

Two nights ago, I was fortunate enough to get to see The Shins at Terminal 5 in NYC. I’ll tell you, it was everything I’d hoped it to be. The opening act was Delta Spirit, and I can honestly say I’ve never heard of them before. The five of them were all very clearly and thoroughly passionate about their work, and they very easily won over the audience very quickly. They were very enjoyable, but I

Drums of Death is my happy horror story: Drums of Death came to be after an encounter with a dark priest on a sorrowful night in Haiti. A musician known as Colin Bailey emerged from this near fatal encounter as you see him now: dark, dishevelled and disfigured. Cursed by magick, Bailey’s heart was cut out and as he lay on the brink of death, the voodoo priest fixed a  into his chest. The voodoo

Audionite is one of the greats. He is an amp-blaster from Berlin Germany, with some raging late-nighters and a couple classics under his belt. He sent me a list of his tracks and I picked out a fave of mine called "Sonar", an epic, seven-minute journey through dancefloors and space. I highly recommend. AUDIONITESONAR

Sure, the main goal of this blog is to post some of the best, budding, indie/electro artists out there, but I think it's still important to appreciate old school - the good stuff that got music where it is today. The Durutti Column was formed in 1978 headed by guitarist Vini Reilly. He's getting on there in age, but nonetheless can still wind out some of the smoothest guitar solos of the decade.

Logan Lynn is an indie-electro-pop king from the mystical land of Portland, Oregon. Experimenting in overexposed photography, escalating synths, and chugging beats, Logan Lynn and Carlos Cortes have weaved happy yet slightly sarcastic melodies that only they could perfect.They're set to release a new album this Fall titled "From Pillar to Post", which so far seems to be taking a more dramatic and

"We are Charlotte and Magon. We compose our music in the bedroom, thinking of the sea." This is exactly the feel that C&M portray, like looking at the ocean through a bedroom window, and thinking about love and the beach. \\\A peaceful incorporation of Magon's deep, poetic french vocals and Charlotte's delicate, weightless soprano, Charlotte and Magon create a feel that comes from the core of an

Hess Is More is Danish mastermind Mikkel Hess, a drummer from Denmark putting forth his soul through a foggy, synthesized filter. Mikkel's music is like taking an orchestra and replacing all the violins with synths, all the percussions with Rolands, and all of the flutes with whistles and whispers.I highly recommend walzing on over to his website and checking out the nitty gritty. Until then,

Two years ago, Interpol released the not-so-critically-acclaimed "Our Love To Admire", and haven't been in the studio since 2007. Carlos Dengler, however, has made himself another creative outlet. The trailer to "My Friends Told Me About You", a film produced, starred, and scored by Dengler, has just been released. The movie charts a man's downfall spiral into a subconscious world of paranoia,

Not Cool Yet is the solo work of Australia's Simon Taylor, a photographer/artist from Brisbane, Queensland. He's released a few smooth demos that seem to run in place; moving along while not really going anywhere. Nonetheless, he's definitely set his style and lain out a path to run on. His music seems to be expressed in the photos he takes, like the one above. He's vague, colorful and all around

"Many years ago I attended a recital at the University of Illinois concert hall. John Cage was composer-in-residence that year; and, to the dismay of many, he had chosen to present his 4 minutes and 33 seconds (I think that's the title, or a close approximation). It consisted of a pianist sitting on the bench in front of the piano and playing not a note. At the end of the allotted time, the

Run Dan Run are an indie rock quartet from Charleston, South Carolina. They released their debut album "Basic Mechanics", in 2007, which included a heartfelt mixture of both mellow electronica tunes and classic, indie rock choruses. Not much has come out of South Carolina that matches the touching obscurity like Run Dan Run. Their melodies take on a sense of child-like wonder, but their talent is

When there's an electronica group out there that you've never heard before, but when you listen to their music you seriously feel like jumping out of your chair and dancing like there's no tomorrow, than you know they're a good group.
