This past month was rich with some lovely releases but with no time to dive into it all my list is a little short. More next month. Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi – Rome Austra – Feel It Break EMA – Past Life Martyred Saints The Vaccines – What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?
Lux Frágil wins the award for the most annoyingly difficult website to navigate and use, ever. However, it also wins the award for most interestingly decorated club I’ve been in for a long time. Portugal might be in economic meltdown, but this club is looking glamorous, shiny, and like a lot of fun – […]

It may be a little late to be doing these shout outs as we are already deep into May. I could claim that it is because I needed the music to soak in before calling out my favorites. In reality, with post-SXSW catch-up, two bank holidays in April and my big birthday (3-0), personal things […]

Although Erykah Badu’s last video for “Window Seat” caused such an uproar due to her impromptu strip show at at Dallas’ Dealey Plaza, it unlikely has anything to do with the headscarf she is wearing in this new video for “Gone Baby – Don’t Be Long”. Considering the ease for which she navigates below the […]

The music industry has been under a lot of heat for failing to adopt to digital forms of distribution quickly enough to translate into anything that can be deemed as progressive or impressively profitable. Lucky for us Ryan Van Etten, in his own blog VirtualMusic.tv, has put the heat into numbers that show a positive […]
(One last post about these brilliant guys and then we’ll shut up about them for a bit…) It’s not just Plastic People that has seen some Caribou and Four Tet love recently. Two things to put on your radar: 1) Old news, but Caribou remixed Four Tet’s Angel Echoes and the result is a slow-building […]

As one can probably tell from the title, I am trying to highlight notable releases by month. Hopefully this both provides me with my first topic for realistic, consistent blog posting, and anyone who likes monthly new music consumption a nice starting point of reference. In turn, I am very excited as this will make […]
