Twin Sister – Bad Street
Only a week later and I’ve got some new Twin Sister for you. Despite the title “Bad Street” it seems the band crashed a little girl’s birthday party on a pretty good street. Unless they’re the bad ones on this … Continue reading
Flight Facilities – Foreign Language / Crave You & Luke Million – Arnold
Flight Facilities (with a little help from Jess on vocals) have a new single out called “Foreign Language” that’s very disco-tastic. This song would fit in perfectly at the height of 70’s disco-mania and it has a very appropriate music … Continue reading
Memory Cassette – Surfin (Sail A Whale version)
Back in 2009 when Memory Tapes were still called Memory Cassette they made a song called “Surfin” that Sail A Whale then made into a beautiful remix. Sail A Whale’s Sebastian Rozenberg has now made their version into a music … Continue reading
Björk – Crystalline

Givers – Up Up Up
What would Vampire Weekend sound like with a girl in the band? Probably a lot like Givers. Caution: Listening to this song may create a strong urge to put on boat shoes and head off to the Cape.
Friends – Friend Crush
This reminds me a bit of Luscious Jackson. It’s definitely got that girl group from the 90’s vibe to it.
Twin Sister – All Around And Away We Go
I love this song and its video. The lead singer has this really sexy nasal, breathy quality to her voice, as if Nico tried to sing through the top of her head. As soon as she starts to sing that … Continue reading
Bell – Chase No Face
So say you really like Feist, but you’re a hipster, so of course you can’t ACTUALLY like Feist because everyone and Starbucks already likes Feist. What are you to do? Well hipsters, you are in luck, because you can still … Continue reading
Beastie Boys – Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win (feat. Santigold)
Spike Jonze has made an epic new Beastie Boys video featuring GI Joe’s, Yetis, Nazi zombies, sharks and much, much more. It’s pretty much the definition of awesome. RIP Walter. Bonus Beastie video: The Sesame Street gang lays down some … Continue reading
