Walter Schreifels sings a lullaby in the great outdoors

February 24, 2010

This video for Walter Schreifels‘ “Arthur Lee’s Lullaby” owns for several reasons. One, he comes close to flashing us in that bathrobe but thankfully does not. Two, we see him playing a real Wurlitzer. Three, there is confetti. Yeah! Confetti!! Taken from Schreifels’ forthcoming solo debut, An Open Letter To The Scene, the former hardcore [...]

Metric guns their way onto the charts

February 16, 2010

Somehow, Metric has found their 2009 album, Fantasies, on the Billboard 200 album charts. After the recent success of the album’s third single, “Gold Guns Girls,” the album has entered the Top 200 at 162. Kind of remarkable given that this is the band’s third album and the band isn’t even on tour. They will [...]

Major Lazer never dies (even if leaks do)

February 12, 2010

If you haven’t heard the illicit leak of Robyn and Diplo’s “No Hassle,” we’re sorry for you. It has now been scoured from the interwebs (supposedly), only to return at some future date on a Robyn LP. It’s a lovely little dancehall ditty that makes us believe Diplo is the clean-nosed half of Major Lazer [...]

February 10, 2010

It’s  commonly held fact that anyone willing and able to praise Linda Ronstadt (the woman who was on the cover of Rolling Stone more than any other female artist until 2000 when Madonna surpassed her) is awesome. Toronto duo Lullabye Arkestra just released an album (2009′s Threats/Worship), but they’re already back for more with the 3-track [...]

Operator Please have got your number

February 9, 2010

Aussie quintet Operator Please are devastatingly adorable, very stylish, and they’re calling you to give away their new single, “Logic.” While their 2007 debut, Yes Yes Vindictive didn’t break them in North America, they built up a solid following in Europe, Asia, and home down under. Since then, OP has grown up a little. They’ve [...]

Muse goes under the review of a camera lens for an epic documentary

February 5, 2010

Muse has had quite a year or two in North America, but it’s been a long time coming. With the release of The Resistance, they’ve gone from a veritable secret fave over here to playing SNL and having their song used in promos for Palladia (that HD music channel from MTV). Under Review chronicles the [...]

Agoria strikes a balance on new comp

February 5, 2010

Cards on the decks, we haven’t heard this comp yet, but the cover is so cool, we had to share. Also, the tracklisting (below) isn’t so bad either. Agoria is the DJ name of Frenchman Sebastien Devaud. He’s been releasing music for more than a decade but has kept a pretty low pro outside of [...]
