Posted by Ben Anton on
December 5, 2008
We need more videos to just be four minutes of pure pop bliss and interesting visual pieces like landscapes, televisions, light spirals and CGI. The new record from the UK’s most promising piano-pop band (sorry Coldplay, old news), Keane, also titled Perfect Symmetry, is out right now. Oh, and this whole post is mostly for the lovely girlfriend, natch, as she’s totally into everything this band has put out so far.

Video: Lily Allen - "The Fear"

December 4, 2008
Oh, Parlophone, you’re so funny, posting this new clip from Lily Allen with no description on YouTube in the “Pets & Animals” category. The song itself has already been viewed nearly 80,000 times when it was released three days ago, and we have a feeling that the video is going to be huge. Lily looks amazing (seriously) throughout and dig the whole “Material Girl”-stylized pouty-dudes-dancing scene. Clever lift. The new record lil miss LDN, It’s Not Me, It’s You, will be out February

Between April 16 and 19 of next year, BAM will be hosting a showcase about famed choreographer Merce Cunningham called “Merce Cunningham At 90″. Cunningham is often described as the world’s greatest choreographer and so it only makes sense that, in his honor, a few of the world’s greatest acts will pay him tribute–in music. During the ceremonies, the showcase will feature music from Sonic Youth, former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, and mixed-media sound composer Takehisa Kosugi. T

Download: The 1900s - "Age Of Metals"

December 3, 2008
The 1900s, that wonderful troupe of Midwesterners (fine, they’re from Chicago) who create intensely beauteous indie pop, have just issued a mini-album called Medium High for digital release (with a physical release happening January 20). “Age Of Metals”, the first track we’ve gotten our hands on from the release, is a masterpiece of acoustic guitar, drum repetitions and vocal caterwauls, but thematically, it’s far from the conceits of Cold & Kind, the band’s debut. Looks like they’ve be

News: Bumblebeez to write thirty songs in thirty days

December 3, 2008
For the entire month of December, the Aussie brother-sister Colonna crew (Chris and Pia) Bumblebeez will be sharing with the world a new track every day…hopefully. This will be the first work since August’s US release of the Prince Umberto & The Sister of Ill LP. Let’s all keep fingers crossed about the kids actually being able to finish the task, but either way, it’s a pretty rad idea to finish off the year. The first track, “Follow The Seals To The Land Beneath Us”, can be heard

It’s called Which Bitch? (amazing, amiright?) and it’s the follow-up to The View’s excellent debut Hats Off To The Buskers. The record will be release on February 2 in the UK and the day after here in the states. The band will also be heading out on a UK mini-tour of sorts starting the day of release.

Hot shit from unknowns are totally going to be big in 09, we can already tell. Long gone will be the need to wait for Diplo treatments or that new banger from LA Riots. We’ll be posting more content from kids who are just starting up or only have a few hours logged in Ableton instead. We can see it now. So, to get a jump start on it (only 30 more days guys!), here’s a few amazing remixes from some dude in Phoenix who calls himself Death To The Throne. The Rye Rye and Chromeo cuts are ste

(photo by Christine Edwards) With a member of Thunderbirds Are Now!, consistent “yeah”s throughout and an overall sense of glee an reverie of all things power pop, Friendly Foes are like rediscovering your love for that vinyl pressing of Zen Arcade or No Pocky For Kitty. They mix up a frantic mess of guitar, bass and drums and reel it in with peppy, super-addictive lyrics, creating a version of hooky anthems that have been sorely missed around the halls of rock these days. God bless them.
