As soon as I heard that Cam Findlay (former Crystal Castles drummer) was half the synthie-delicious Parallels, I had an inkling I’d like it. And if the video for Ultralight is any inclination, then WOW.  Holly Dodson (half #2) really does sound like Madonna and Kylie.  With that voice, neck-breaking beats and enough Moog action [...]

Florence Welch, you make me wanna do bad things…  She’s got the look, She’s got the love, and the tracks that have come out this year are all ripe for remix.  And so we present you with a little remix action for your Sunday afternoon.  Enjoy, kids. Drumming Song (Boy 8-Bit Remix) [Audio clip: view [...]

What’s got two thumbs and loves Savoir Adore?  This guy!  Paul Hammer and Deidre Muro are clearly extremely talented instrumentalists and have produced a gem of a pop album.  I mean, seriously, how can you not want to roll around in something that sounds like a Stars X Mates of State X Viva Voce X Au [...]

What’s got a 16 candles Anthony Edwards look-a-like, Tiki carvings in watermelons and TONS of awesome sunglasses?  Yep, it’s the latest from La Roux.  If this is the first you’re hearing of Elly Jackson, get your hands on everything that you can.  She’s spent the last 2 years, along with her producer, Ben Langmaid, busting [...]

Well, damn.  Canada strikes again in 2009.  First it was the straightforward pop goodness of These Electric Lives, then the NMH contemporaries The Rural Alberta Advantage.  And now, as summer winds down, Faunts.  OK, so this album really came out in February, but it’s getting reveiwed here NOW.  So what happens when you listen to [...]

Authority.  If Spencer Krug’s got one thing going above anything else it’s a sound or authority in composition and sound.  And the new Dragonslayer LP from the Krug & Co. project is no exception.  From the first bars of Silver Moons, it’s almost as though he’s telling us truths about life, not just detailing his [...]

I’d like to introduce you to the next incarnation of Blink 182.  Now, before you get all up in arms, let me explain.  I’m not trying to say that Dan Boeckner plays 3-chord bubblegum punk, or that he and Alexei Perry write songs about hanging photos in their high lockers.  What I am saying is [...]

How about some Monday morning inspiration?  So, I wanna Be On A Boat just as much as the next blogrocker, but after a while I need something to really get into.  And be totally blown away by.  For every overproduced ‘straight from the streets’ major studio dance movie that’s been put out in the past [...]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – music comes to you when it’s ready. So as I was frantically trying to clear out my emusic credits today before the counter reset, I came across MGMTs pre-Oracular Spectacular EP. The Time To Pretend EP is pretty damn awesome. I’m almost glad I found [...]

Denver never gets the love.  Well, mostly it’s the US in general, cut off by crappy concert-promoting douchecanoes from all of the great dance music coming out of Europe and Australia.  Now, we all know that I’ve got a special place for Modular Records, but this time they were just the catalyst not the endgame.  [...]
