“That Beep” has been out for a while to stream on Architecture in Helsinki’s web site, but now it’s officially released and has a full-fledged music video! The video looks to be inspired by either Apocalypto, an Of Montreal show, or maybe both. The song is supposed to be a part of the Aussie band’s next… Continue reading New Architecture in Helsinki Video – “That Beep”

(Clicking on the links will also find you the associated mp3s).

Bodebrixen
If you want more proof that Europeans are much more fun than Americans, here’s Bodebrixen. They hail from Denmark, the land of good music, and give us strange, fun janglypop (ala Suburban Kids With Biblical Names). Using horns, guitars, synth and harmonization, they create a very pure, wondrous sound. Their sound is certainly nothing groundbreaking, but… Continue reading Bodebrixen
King Khan & BBQ Show at Sonar
King Khan & BBQ Show are quite possibly the most exciting duo to take any stage this year. They are made up of Canadians Blacksnake (King Khan) and Mark Sultan (BBQ), both former members of Spaceshits, and will be playing at Sonar in Baltimore this Wednesday. Their recordings sound like old 1950s garage band tapes,… Continue reading King Khan & BBQ Show at Sonar
Shiny Toy Guns At 9:30 Club
Oklahoma’s own dancerockpunk and sometimesemo band, Shiny Toy Guns, is playing at the 9:30 Club this Tuesday. Again, I can’t go (still poor) but like always, you still can for a “meh” price of $20! The group is touring on their latest Album, Season of Poison, which came out earlier this month. I haven’t heard… Continue reading Shiny Toy Guns At 9:30 Club
Edie Sedgwick as Edie Sedgwick
If you try to tell me something is wrong with dressing up like a 1960s heiress and close “friend” of Andy Warhol’s onstage, I’ll say good day! Edie Sedgwick, also known as Justin Moyer, dresses up like the real Edie Sedgwick and sings otherwise non-Edie Sedgwick related songs. It’s all very confusing, but results are… Continue reading Edie Sedgwick as Edie Sedgwick
Little Boots Drops Arecibo EP
Earlier this year Little Boots was just a British girl making YouTube videos from her apartment. Now she’s finally released her debut electro/dance/pop EP, Arecibo. It only has two tracks (four if you count remixes of each), but it’s worth it. “Meddle” is clearly the standout single, while “Stuck on Repeat” is the B-Side, despite… Continue reading Little Boots Drops Arecibo EP
Minisnap: Old People Going Indie
Comprised of members from New Zealand four-piece The Bats, Minisnap is another of those hip, new side projects full of young, fresh-faced musicians. Wait, what’s that? The Bats formed in 1982? So that puts the members of Minisnap at roughly… mid to late-forties? Wow, a middle-aged people band that doesn’t play “Mustang Sally!” Age aside, Minisnap… Continue reading Minisnap: Old People Going Indie
Ladyhawke’s Debut Album
After a year of singles from Australian singer Ladyhawke, she has finally released her self-titled album, Ladyhawke. You can expect lots of 80s-inspired dance pop–with an accent! You can pick up the album today on iTunes, Amazon, through the label, or pretty much anywhere else. Here are two of the tracks: Ladyhawke – “Dusk Till Dawn” (MP3) Ladyhawke… Continue reading Ladyhawke’s Debut Album
Mashup of the Year: Britney Spears and Department of Eagles
Yes, my first and only preemptive Mashup of the Year award is going to somebody who isn’t Girl Talk. Don’t get me wrong, Feed The Animals was amazing, but what he didn’t do was put together trashy pop song “Womanizer,” by Britney Spears, and cool indie tune “No One Does It Like You,” by Department… Continue reading Mashup of the Year: Britney Spears and Department of Eagles
