The Hold Steady announce U.S. tour dates

Normally news about The Hold Steady would come from Lee or Jon, our resident Hold Steady experts, but due to schedule restraints you’ll hear it from me! Now, I shouldn’t get your hopes up too high.

[MP3] Little Girls: “10 Mile Stereo (Beach House Cover)”

Little Girls (aka Josh McIntyre) recently covered “10 Mile Stereo” by the current rulers of dream-pop indie, Beach House. It’s a pretty nice, more lo-fi version of the song (which JUST came out btw) that keeps the dreamy aspect alive. Which, as we all know, is very important (??). Regardless, it’s another current indie artist… Continue reading [MP3] Little Girls: “10 Mile Stereo (Beach House Cover)”

Massive Attack reveal a terrifyingly chrome future in “Splitting The Atom” video

If you thought the future was gonna be all under water, you were clearly very wrong. If you also thought it was going to be all safe and pleasant, you were also very wrong.

Why wasn’t Malachai’s Ugly Side Of Love released here ages ago??

But if you let it, it will pass you in a second, leaving behind a trail just impressive enough to make you chase after for another chance (if… Continue reading Toro Y Moi just makes great, chilled out music on Causers Of This

[MP3+Video] Sunglasses: “Whiplash”

I Guess I’m Floating just posted “Whiplash” by Georgia duo Sunglasses, and I’m immediately smitten. The sweet, dreamy pop tune is some weird combination between easy vocals, soft synth and robot noises. I like! The bonus? It has a video that I’m equally smitten with. Winner! Seems like the whole Southeast is the place to… Continue reading [MP3+Video] Sunglasses: “Whiplash”

The Grammys: Why bother trying anymore?

Well that happened. Music’s biggest night nightmare of the year played out just like we all knew it would: unpredictably and hilariously miserable. Seriously, so many LOLs! Remember that time Dave Matthews Band was old and boring? And that other time Justin Bieber was too busy trying to be a “cool black guy” to speak… Continue reading The Grammys: Why bother trying anymore?
