Air France: “Collapsing At Your Doorstep” MP3
June 3, 2008 – 10:10 am
Amazing track from Sweden’s Air France. I love thsi type of sampling (reminds me a lot of Jens Lekman, which might be an erroneous correlation due to their national heritige but whatever) - very subtle and very beautiful. The bass line is silky and the whole song just washes over you in a way that, [...]
King Khan & The Shrines: “Torture” MP3
June 1, 2008 – 3:38 pm
King Khan & The Shrines is a real band. Raw and hyper-talented. Bringing to mind the best of 60s garage-punk. They are friends with Black Lips Their new album, “The Supreme Genius Of…”, comes out June 17th. Great aesthetic - musically, visually, and otherwise. I love what they are about. Can’t wait for this album [...]

The Muslims: “Only My Time” MP3
April 1, 2008 – 10:36 am
Last week GvB posted about yet another amazing band, The Muslims from San Diego. The Modern Lovers comparison is right on (especially for the track posted below), but they have their own distinct sound outside of that. I love this track and I really want to set up a show with these guys and The [...]
Izza Kizza: “Walk the Dawg” MP3
March 27, 2008 – 2:35 am
I read this post the other day about Izza Kizza and was interested enough to sit down and listen to his music. So radical. Super bizarre. Way catchy. So so so weird. I love it though. Timbaland’s production is flawless as always. This song is my favorite from what I could grab online, but there [...]

March 26, 2008 – 8:50 am
I’ve been hearing buzz about Jay Reatard for a hot minute now but for whatever reason didn’t really pick up on him until I read this post on Music for Robots. Dude KILLS it so hard. This song is amazing. Perfect pop song. I can’t wait to hear more of these singles as they come [...]
Al Green: “You’ve Got The Love I Need Babe (Feat. Anthony Hamilton)” MP3
March 25, 2008 – 2:59 pm
Radical new track from one of my all time favorite artists. The sound of this recording is amazing! It really recalls the essence of what made Al Green’s work so good - super smooth, never overdone, perfectly balanced. The bass in particular really brings it all together. Helps to have ?uestlove as a producer to [...]
James Pants: “Ka$h” MP3
March 13, 2008 – 10:07 am
James Pants is on Stonesthrow and is making some of the wildest music out there. Amazing synth sounds, freaky sloppy rhythms, and bizarre instrumntation. Pick up Rhytm Trax Vol. 1 at Turntable lab for a taste of what is to come from his full length Welcome in May. Also, enjoy this song:
James Pants - [...]

March 11, 2008 – 8:21 am
I haven’t discussed No Age here yet, but I am a real big fan. Caught them lvie a couple weeks ago and they put on an amazing live show. Great interaction with the crowd and tons of passion for what they were doing. Pitchfork did an interview with them last week and it made me [...]
