oh….the audacity…of huge!

“I got that crank trippin’ baby shoe
I got that grape kool-aid filled swimming pool
I got those Roomba robots that clean the floor
I got that mother of pearl oyster fork for sure
I got that Tammy Faye milk money butterscotch
I got that Mama Cass you know I got that Peter Tosh”
It wasn’t that [...]

all hail the ruling class!

Oh it’s so tempting… So very tempting. It’s always exciting to jump into hyperbole when describing a band who is simply teeming with potential. Like a shot from a cannon, a comet that passes by in the blink of an eye or any cliche that seems appropos, a brand new band’s first stab in the [...]

who doesn’t love friendly fires?

“Rub that line out of the sky
I can feel the night crawl
A broken drum and tambourine
Rub that line out of the sky
I can see the clouds form
Taking shape in front of me”
I’m going to take a wild stab in assuming that if you’re reading this blog, you’re already well aware of [...]

procon – turn it up, up, up, up, up!

The party doesn’t stop with our friends from the Great White North. It’s the long awaited second single and promotional film for Toronto’s Procon! This one is called Lunar Hammer and after witnessing the video, one can draw their own conclusions as to what a lunar hammer is. I know I [...]

the electric chariot of fire makes a stop tonight…

 
Yes. Time for another plug! NYC Suede-heads! If you’re loitering around the Bowery and are in the mood for some quality electronic rock, go to the Mansion. A band near and dear to my heart, Electric Chariot will be performing at 11pm tonight at Crash Mansion, located at 199 Bowery. It’s a show not to [...]

burn the negative…

Hailing from the English Northwest, I’d like you to meet Burn The Negative. A promising electro-rock band that has been making waves in their native UK and I believe it’s only a matter of time before the word gets out amongst the hipster cogniscenti here. The Guardian describes the band as [...]

she wants animal attraction…

I hate lazy journalists. By “journalists”, I include critics, fellow bloggers, reviewers and the like. I say I hate them because of the process used to critique music nowadays.  Very often instead of taking the time out to properly research a band and listen to what they are trying to express and the manner in [...]

james leon’s purple heart…

“Shades of violet
held inside
dreams of colour
come alive
will you trust me
take a bite
I’ll make you feel good inside”
Ever hear a song or watch a video that is so dirty you feel like you must take a shower afterwards and not in a bad way? I’d [...]

dancing is her remedy…

No more poison
Killing my emotion
I will not be frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Stop stop preying
Coz I’m not not playing
I’m not frozen
Dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh
Hot off the presses, ladies and gentlemen! It’s the promo film for the brand new Little Boots single Remedy! An absolute stomper of a tune [...]

la roux is indeed bulletproof…

been there, done that, messed around
I’m having fun don’t pull me down,
I’ll never let you sweep me off my feet,
I won’t let you in again, the messages I’ve tried to send,
my informations’ just not going in,
burnin’ bridges shore to shore, I’ll break away from something more,
I’m not to not to love [...]
