SOPP IT UP WITH A BISCUIT.

Or some nice fresh crusty French, or soft Challah, or whatever your bready item of choice is. Its just really good.

Senior from Röyksopp is a great new addition to albums that I'll probably be digging for pretty much ever.

NEW ZELAND HEARTS.

Photobucket
On a tip from a dreamy girl I have some new heavy rotations from The Naked and Famous. This up and coming Kiwi quintet has really won me over with the few songs they have available for listening pleasure as well as their stellar little vids...checka..

Photobucket
Pre-order their first album Passive Me Aggressive You which drops Sept. 6 and get a free limited 7" of 'Young Blood' b/w 'Crazy'!!

Both of these are supreme sounds & visuals...mad plays for my fall fa sho.

The Naked and Famous - Young Blood

VIDEO PUSHING.

Yeah Erykah.



Not a horrible horrible production cost for a great video.

Feelin this video made by Burn Ignite on Julius Wright...fella got some talent.



I've always been so-so on Yeasayer. Their first album was ok, very listenable, but I was a bit taken aback when an unpleasant family of overachievers I shared a holiday with remarked on them in particular, in my first few listens of All Hour Cymbals. This video has me more like 'WTF' than, 'OMG.' Someone must've watched Eraserhead a couple times before writing this treatment. I do dig Kristen Bell though, and all looks really nice. 5D?



Also, some more photos and a nice review of the Empire of the Sun show, of which I attended night 2/4...it was beyond amazing.

Ok, now lets push it.

AGELESS.

Photobucket

New No Age!!

From Los Angeles, and their new, 2nd album, Everything In Between...

I dig these guys. Its sounds like parts of LA, recorded.

Sometimes the older ones get too just mashy for me, but its all about the sounds. And keeping them going.

No Age - Glitter



And the b-side

No Age - Inflorescence



Pre-order from InSound....

Official out Sept. 28 on Sub-Pop.

New crazy '3-D' interactive video for Broken Bells' single 'October'. This is my favorite off an album that really jumpstarted the early days of 2010 for me!

Of course (it's Danger Mouse & James Mercer of indie darlings The Shins!) since the 'pre-release' of their self titled first album, they have become something of a monster!! Their shows here in LA are impossible to get tickets to!

Well, I love this song, and this video is pretty fun and interesting...as I was 'doing' it for the first time, I started thinking of how I could video capture my screen, and post how cool my personal interactive video had been...and then...it saved it for me! Oh geez. The world has to end soon.

LUKE STEELE = PRINCE 2010.

Photobucket

Empire of the Sun blasted with existence in my late Vancouver days, beginnings of 2009. I saw the video for 'Walking on a Dream' and that was it. The song was amazing, and the visuals just added to the intrigue. Soon after I acquired the album and was again, blown away. Fabulous from start to finish.

W'hen are they playing in the US?' was going around for a while; the day has come. 4 consecutive sold out nights @ Henry Fonda / Music Box (their first stateside gig was Lollapalooza a week or 2 ago if I'm not mistaken). Of which we caught #3. You could in no way tell that that was the case. Homies played like it was their only US show.

They have only the one album, so the set wasn't SUPER long, and Nick Lattimore was absent, but they dropped in a few non LP tracks, performed to the utmost 100% of the way through, and KILLED with some new instrumental BANGER post 'Walking on a Dream' encore.

4 thumbs up. Rock on.

Empire of the Sun - Tiger By My Side

Empire of The Sun - We Are The People (Shazam Remix)
