This is a classic case. A classic case of a remix being better than the original. Yes, that’s right folks. As proved true in the memorable example of Timbaland & Magoo’s “Luv 2 Luv U”, a bangin remix can often confuse people into thinking it is the original track. Confused or not, this track is […]

CSS HAS A NEW SONG!!!!!
(Can you tell I’m excited?)

CSS - Rat Is Dead (Rage) (mp3)

I feel like I’ve missed the boat on this one, but better late than never! This is one of those songs that you hear all the time, but you never knew who it was. Well, now you do! The duo just nabbed a spot opening for NIN, which is HUUUUGE. For a little indie electronic […]

I really like this song. And I’m glad we’ve got some new music from these youngsters. I had a brief moment of obsession with “The Next Untouchable”, but I’m ready for a new song to attach my affections. Finding this song also helped me find out that they’re signed to XL. I think XL is […]

It’s getting rarer these days that a concert moves me more than it entertains. On Thursday, I saw Ingrid Michaelson at the Troubadour. She was incredibly charming and had an amazing voice. It reminded me why I got into the music industry in the first place. She was pure talent, untarnished by label intentions or […]

Seems like the only logical post on this first day of 2008 would be my predictions for artists to watch. So here goes nothin:
AdeleSinger-songwriter with a gorgeous voice garnering comparisons to Amy Winehouse (minus the drugs, jailed hubbie, and beehive). Here’s an oldie post about her and her best song yet (lots more to come […]

After a much needed break, I’m back with the ubiquitous “best of” post. Of course I waited until the last minute… that’s my style So without further ado:
Albums:
1. Band of Horses – Cease To Begin2. Arcade Fire – Neon Bible3. Feist – The Reminder4. […]

a.k.a. The Pirate Song. Easily, one of the best songs off of September released Leaves In The River, this song gets the 2nd video of the album. It’s not a very exciting video, but it is quite pretty!

Sea Wolf - Winter Windows (mp3)
A few tour dates in the new year:
Jan 4 - L.A. Natural […]

It really is a shame that I’m just now discovering Jens Lekman. I don’t know that words can describe his music, but I’ll try. This Swede effortlessly blends indie pop, rock, and elements you wouldn’t expect. I swear in the first 30 seconds of “I’m Leaving You Because I Don’t Love You”, I was half […]

Remember that covers CD I was scouring Amoeba for? Well the San Fran Amoeba had 3 in stock when I was there for Thanksgiving (boo Hollywood). Needless to say, I dropped the $30 and have been enjoying it ever since. This has to be one of my favorites because it’s hilarious. Who would ever put […]
