here come the young men. introducing blacklist…

 
Yes friends, it is exactly are you feared…More NYC love! I’d like to introduce to Blacklist. A dark post-punk band from the concrete jungles of New York City. Show them love. Show them respect. Just show up their shows and groove to the chiming guitars and hypnotic drums. They’ve been honing their craft showly and [...]

the dossier…tomorrow night. gulp!

You may remember not too long ago when I posted about a simply glorious electronic pop band from right here in NYC called The Dossier. I don’t think I got the point across very well about how much I love their sound so here I am to let all of you New Yorkers know that you [...]

esser’s got me in a headlock…

“Stamp me in the carpet like a piece of dirt,

If the words fail then you just floor me,
I’ve got a problem, it’s called living,
When will I learn that you’re no good for me.”
 
He looks like the son of Morrissey but stylistically reminds me more of a young Robbie Williams, Ben Esser [...]

kanye! the clipse! it’s kinda like a big deal!

It’s always a good day when you find out one of your favourite hip hop groups have come out of the woodwork to grace us with something new. In this case, It’s Virginia’s Clipse and their brand new single featuring the one and only Kanye West called Kinda Like A Big Deal. I must say [...]

i hope alison goldfrapp is listening…

“Im gonna take you out tonight 
Im gonna make you feel alright
I dont have a lot of money
But we’ll be fine
No, I dont have a penny
But I’ll show you a good time”
The 8th of June will bring the release of another anxiously anticpated record and should be one of the hits of the summer presented to [...]

tiga wants to lick your shoes…

Where the hell had Tiga been? I swear it felt it had been about ten years since Sexor came out instead of three. It seemed like I couldn’t walk into an indie disco night here in Williamsburg and not hear You Gonna Want Me every time and then nothing…until now. After a long wait, here  comes [...]

the battle lines are drawn…

 
It’s only fair that if I’m going to mention the brilliance of Frankmusik that I also continue waxing poetic about Miss Elly Jackson aka La Roux, the current queen of analogue dance pop. The new single Bulletproof continues the roll she’s been on and sets up a very interesting chart battle between Elly and Mr. Frank. [...]

the hits just keep on coming…

“Ever since we met we’ve never been too clear
All our insecurities turn up in all our fears
And how we’ve tried to make our problems disappear
Never searchin’ hard enough to find only more tears”
 
How much do I love Frankmusik? Words simply can’t describe… His debut record Complete Me  due [...]

the tiny terror and his merry men have returned…

“No one cares when you’re out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
No one cares when you’re down in the gutter
Got no friends got no lover”
 
Placebo. Nuff said. One of the most consistently excellent bands the UK has produced the last fifteen years are at it again. I’m [...]

identity theft?

 
“That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed but my good friends is all I need
Pass out at 3, wake up at 10, go out to eat then do it again
Man, I love [...]
