[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??

Ok, somebody please explain to me how this whole album releases in the U.S./UK thing works, because I’m LOST (no appropriately timed pun intended). Bristol band Malachai released their debut full-length, Ugly Side Of Love, last year in the UK, but it didn’t make it across the Atlantic until this week. What’s the deal?

Charlotte Gainsbourg needs “umph” on IRM

The Urban Dictionary defines “Umph” as lots of strange sexual things, but I’ve always understood the word to mean that little extra power to make something great. Like “My car just needs a little more umph to get up this hill” or “This amp could use a little more umph to really ROCK” or “Charlotte… Continue reading Charlotte Gainsbourg needs “umph” on IRM
