New Bloc Party video: ‘One More Chance’

Last year’s “Intimacy” didn’t really cut it for me, being way too blunt and really unattractive by all means. Not even the following remix version didn’t manage to deliver something positive, although I usually find remixes to work well on more modest releases. Surprisingly, something like a week ago, the band premiered a new single, right [...]

Download: Spoon - ‘Got Nuffin’

One of the most talented contemporary American bands, Spoon, just recently released their first material since the critically acclaimed 2007 “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga,” as the lo-fi infused “Got Nuffin” comes gracing our picky ears. Have to say, though, not the best title (as if “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga” wasn’t enough), since this [...]

New Rye Rye ft. M.I.A. video: ‘Bang’

Rye Rye’s latest collaboration with M.I.A. is the explosive single “Bang,” a thrilling roller coaster ride of a song. The video isn’t any lower either, featuring non-stop amazing dancing, with some moves sure to twist some heads (check out the finale moves!). Rye Rye’s debut album is yet to be released, but if the material it’s [...]

Andrew Bird and St. Vincent up for joint North American tour

People, you can’t possibly miss this! Two of my favorite indie artists, Annie Clark, more known after her stage moniker St. Vincent, and the mellow Andrew Bird will be touring together this summer and autumn in most of North America. Both are exquisite live performers and I can only imagine what it must feel like [...]

U2 kicks off the massive 360 tour in Barcelona with a bang!

Almost a month ago me and Andrei invaded Barcelona and painted the town red during our 3 days stay, when we even got to see AC/DC play live at the Estadio Olimpico de Lluis Company. Chances had it, though, that we weren’t able to prolong our stay a few more weeks so we might squeeze [...]

The 10 Most Influential Canadian Musicians

Today is Canada Day, the national holiday of North America’s other, more icy power state, and to mark the event I thought it would be fun to write a feature piece. Now, I’m not Canadian, nor I have any connection what so ever with the maple state, however some of my most beloved artists hail [...]

Jens Lekman infected with H1N1 swine flu virus [he's alright, folks!]

Just got word of some pretty sad news, seems like one of the most nicest artists in the indie scene, Jens Lekman, unfortunately contracted the all too dreaded and excessively publicized H1N1 “swine flu” virus during his stay in South America. Apparently Jens felt really sick during his flight back over the Atlantic when he [...]

Download: Hammer No More The Fingers - ‘Radiation’

Yes, good band names are apparently very hard to find these days, but, leaving semantincs aside, the Durham/Chapel Hill trio of Hammer No More Fingers packs quite an indie rock punch. The band’s latest album, titled “Looking For Bruce,” was released earlier this year via Churchkey Records, but it’s only been until a few hours [...]

New Dirty Projectors video: ‘Stillness is the Move’

“Bitte Orca,” the latest album from behalf of one of New York’s most talented experimentalists Dirty Projectors, is without a doubt in this year’s top 10 albums so far, and “Stillness is the Move” is simply a jewel of a single. The beat, the vocals, the lyrics, everything sounds just delightful  - a true treat [...]

Download: Erykah Badu & The Roots - ‘I Wanna Be Where You Are’ (Michael Jackson cover)

The world is still left ravashed after Michael Jackson fell in death’s cold grip, however his timeless music will undoubtedly continue to live on for generation to come. He may have had his reputation and even life taken away, but no one can touch his legacy. Honoring his legacy is also Erykah Badu, who before [...]
