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?

Chocolate City @ Lux Frágil, Lisbon

May 28, 2011 by

1

  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 – […]

Top April Releases

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 […]

Top March Releases

With Austin, TX working it’s way into all things this past month I am a little biased by the performers I saw there. But in no particular order here are the best releases I encountered this past month. Where is hip hop hiding I wonder? Dirty Beaches Badlands Erland & The Carnival Nightingale The Naked […]

Songs by Source

  Whether it’s at a house party, on a road trip or just flicking through iTunes while hanging out at someone’s place, more than once I’ve had someone ask me where I get my music from: what they’re looking for is a way in. Sometimes I can’t really tell them anything that’s going to be […]

New Erykah Badu video directed by Flying Lotus

February 10, 2011 by

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 biz in 2010

February 7, 2011 by

0

  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 […]

Caribou and Four Tet Love

February 6, 2011 by

0

(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 […]
