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 [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

I just recently stumbled upon this brilliant song that will most certainly be part of my summer tracklist, the beautifully lazy “Sun Was High (So Was I)” by Bethany Cosentino aka Best Coast. This is definitely a stoner anthem, fit for any beach house get to together, sea side stroll or, of course, torch lighting. The [...]

Not your typical Mars Volta video, seeing how it’s all fairly simple, featuring altering shots with the band playing their latest single “Since We’ve Been Wrong” in a studio, while being streamed on an old TV tube with a vintage feel. It’s quite appealing though, despite its simplicity. It has one of those reminiscent vibe wrapped [...]

I’ve just finished watching Karim’s latest video for the chilling “Triangle Walks,” that just premiered over at stereogum, at the end of which is hard for anyone not visually impaired not to sit back for a few good seconds and gasp “WOW!” The video just hits you from the very few frames - beautifully dark-blue lights, [...]

I’m really a big fan of Vincent Moon and his La Blogotheque sessions. The spontaniety of the show, how you can watch your favorite indie band playing in the street, even with ‘house hold’ instruments, all from the confort of your own home is amazing for me. However, I nearly can’t believe it how a [...]

“Kids, don’t do drugs” might serve as a good motto for MGMT’s latest video for their incredible single “Kids.” The video’s story follows around a toddler (most likely on acid. lol) who seems to see monsters everywhere he walks around, even in people. Guess there’s a dormant monster within every of us, even in your [...]

Yesterday aired the first episode of CBS’ The Tonight Show with new found host Conan O’Brien at its helm, picking up after Jay Leno. The whole show was marvelously entertaining, like any premiere should be. Lets not talk TV for now, shall we, let’s talk music! Conan’s first musical guests for last night’s airing were [...]

Natasha’s second single from one of the year’s best albums, “Two Suns,” gets a pretty typical Bat for Lashes approach for its video. Costumes, nature, bright/dark contrasts and some goofy wire flying around. Nice to see Nat doing her own ’stunts’ though :). Not sure where the blond-wigged version of Natasha comes in. Anyone care to [...]
