Loving this song and video for “Raid the Radio” from General Electriks, and it’s so true, the radio is a wasteland 9 times out of 10, lets free the DJ’s. If you like the classic Blackalicious sound, then you love RV, you mebbe just don’t know it yet…

PR:
General Elektriks is the brainchild of Hervé “RV” [...]

Good morning darling, you are so beautiful I want to keep you in my house, and oddly, Icelandic indie artists Múm know exactly what I mean.

This track was rejected by Britney Spears and I’m so glad, because it’s so much better for the quirkydancey, deadpan song when the lyric “I need a tall boy” is sung by a man. It’s a twist I think even she will appreciate, and Har Mar Superstar does it with typical flashy pants panache.

The songs are drama pretty, and sad like after all those years. Also the bandcamp player is snazzy, so here you go folks; enjoy the building piano and thoughtful electric guitar of this EP from Sacramento indie, pretty antipop pop band Tin Can Notes; and the pained and painted hollar that still stays sandy [...]

Classy and creepy and then irresistibly danceable, St Vincent’s song Marrow is successfully complimented by the video, which slams the world into the stuttered banging blankness that is exactly what the world is like in that trauma moment when you need the H – E – L – P.

Oh the darlings, they are deadpan but smiling tricky in the corners of their eyes as they bring hooks to sneak up behind you till you’re dancing, till you’re full of faith in love. Hexes and Ohs! We worked with them for our Fringe Mess in July 2009 and now we can’t wait to have [...]

Moby’s right, I was just kitchen grooving yesterday and thinking about it: Beyonce’s Single Ladies is the best pop song in ages, perhaps eva, and the choreography is aggressive, brilliant, hilarious and sexy in an empowering way.
Even if you’re not interested in rings or being called “it” – as in “ïf you like it [...]
