The Dears new album Degeneration Street

Acclaimed Montreal rock band The Dears are proud to announce the release of their new album, DEGENERATION STREET. A welcome return to form and for fans of the operatic hysteria of past albums, NO CITIES LEFT and GANG OF LOSERS, DEGENERATION STREET finds Murray Lightburn, Natalia Yanchak, Patrick Krief, Robert Benvie, Roberto Arquilla and Jeff Luciani creating a sweeping collection of orchestral pop / rock that is at once enlightening, angst-ridden and mesmerizing. Set for a February 15th release on Dangerbird Records, the praised grandiosity and cathartic signature sound of The Dears was captured and produced by Tony Hoffer (Phoenix, Belle and Sebastian).

First single "Omega Dog" encapsulates The Dears' neo-romantic songwriting and acts as a calling card for DEGENERATION STREET as a whole; ranging from electrifying pop, to full-on primal screams; grinding guitar solos, to soulful baroque. DEGENERATION STREET is an album propelled by passion and driven by The Dears' dedication to creating music out of real emotions, music that has connected the group with a legion of fans and critics.

Lykke Li - Get Some

She sung "I'm your prostitute", and dance with exotic beat and percussive joy.
And she shared the anthem with you here, download the song from the player bellow.

The more time Lykke Li spends in the limelight, the further away she seems to get from the shy and lovelorn girl she was on her breakthrough hit. "Get Some" finds the tables turned completely, lyrics speaking of men twisted around digits over the top of tubs thumped like Bow Wow Wow. "I'm your prostitute," she states, matter-of-factly. Should we be worried? On the evidence of this, the first track taken from her forthcoming second album, the kohl-eyed Swede is more than capable of taking care of herself.

Sunday Girl vs. Rusko - Hey Stop (Club Mix)

A nice remix, simply pumped my mood from Monday morning to Friday night out. :)

Sunday Girl's "Stop Hey" is suited for electro-slow dances, a modern day Marie Antoinette ballroom bumper. Pitted against dubstep crackerjack, Rusko, it becomes speedier and airier, almost enhancing its forlorn love song elements and giving it the dual ability to help your pining heart. Hers is for your bedroom ruminations, his belongs to exorcizing loneliness by blowing the lid off in a room full of people, underneath flashing lights.

Warpaint released Fool

Warpaint is Emily Kokal (vocals/guitar), Theresa Wayman (guitar/vocals), Jenny Lee Lindberg (bass/vocals), and Stella Mozgawa (drums). An all-girl quartet from Los Angeles.

They're music are pretty much dreamy, beautiful and mesmerizing. Which you should listen to their upcoming album "the Fool" that just released by Rough Trade Records

Asobi Seksu - Transparance

Troy Von Balthazar

is a singer-song writer from New York, that will released his new album How to Live on Nothing out October 26th. (Third Side Records). Which will give an adventure into the gloomy sadcore movement.

check the single Dots and Hearts.




I feel like hell but I look okay. » Ideally, one should be able to stop at this impeccable confession, slipped into the heart of the shattering Tigers, to paint the portrait of Troy Von Balthazar.


Because, indeed, Troy Von Balthazar looks okay. He’s handsome. He grew up in Hawaii. He surfed there for a long time. In the 90’s, he was the leader of a loud and abrasive band, Chokebore, becoming cult the day Kurt Cobain picked them to open for Nirvana. He also lived with Leonard Cohen – his only admitted admiration – who took him in for a while and on whose guitar he composed his first solo songs. His album came out in 2005 aptly named “Troy Von Balthazar” and was noticed by the critics and the European public. That’s because this man is keen on weaving enchanting pop songs.

Vampire Weekend - Cousins (bootleg)

From last night amazing show, only recorded 3 songs, not much because i didn't feel comfortable holding a cheap phone camera for the whole show.

And here are some blurred photos

Monkey to Millionaire feat. Marsha

still M2M

the camera shaked

i think the picture quality need improvement

and no, i don't want to bring a dslr to a rock show.

so, i prefer it blurred rather than bring a chunk of big camera to a rock show

Thank you to Trilogy Live for bringing them to Jakarta.

Vampire Weekend - Horchata (live in Jakarta)

i should say it's one of the best international gigs in Jakarta for 2010 that i attend (which is not much).
Played about 2 hours (or one hour, lost my time orientation) set full of energy and familiar songs to singalong.

The only regret was that i missed the Horchata booth. :(

Oh Land - Sun Of A Gun

The video for the latest single by Brooklyn-via Copenhagen artist.

and here's what they're saying about it

Other than showcasing Oh Land's infectious music, the video explores imaginary landscapes, including what appears to be a snow-blanketed tundra covered with spheres of light. Video director thirtytwo (Blur, Elbow, Franz Ferdinand, and Arctic Monkeys) pays homage to Oh Land's history as a ballet dancer by meshing modern and classic choreography against the backdrop of contrasting the light and dark imagery.

"I want my music to feel like 2050 meets something really classic, like meeting a stranger that feels as familiar as an old friend," says Oh Land.

The Sunshine Factory

I'm a sucker for the noises from dream pop/shoegaze band.
Even if most of them have almost similar background "discovering My Bloody Valentine", and off course every band said that they're adding something to reinvigorates the genres which mostly not so easy to define since we have a lot of noises.
The only way to differentiate bands in this genre are to listening each one of them deeply and passionate, and yet still sometimes still not that easy, especially for a fresh new band like The Sunshine Factory.
But as i wrote earlier, "i'm a sucker for noises"

Broadcast Live in Singapore

BROADCAST- Live in Singapore 2010

Singapore
2nd December 2010
Venue: Stereolab, Singapore
Time: 9pm
Tickets: S$38 Advance S$43 Door

Each ticket comes with a first drink of Heineken.
Tickets on sale from stereolounge.sg and kittywurecords.com from 22nd October 2010

On their way down under for their first ever Australia tour, December will see much lauded psychedelic pop practitioners BROADCAST make a quick stopover in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur for the very first time.

Birmingham natives Trish Kennan and James Cargill have been the ever-present driving force behind Broadcast since 1995. Although Broadcast has taken on several different evolutions since its formation, growing to a very cosy six piece at one stage, Kennan and Cargill have always remained as Broadcast’s beating heart. Fuelled by their joint affinity for film, and electronic culture, Broadcast’s brand of electronica, samples and sci-fi synths provide a hypnotic soundtrack, balanced with the warmth of Kennan’s dreamy 60’s vocals.

Signed to the iconic Warp label, Flying Lotus, Grizzly Bear, Atlas Sound and Dangermouse, are counted amongst Broadcast’s growing fanbase, with Dangermouse sampling Broadcast on ‘Poem of Dead Song’ on the DM & Gemini album ‘Ghetto Pop Life’. Regularly drawing comparisons to a darker and edgier Stereolab, 60’s
psychedelic band The United States of America’s influences are present throughout the Broadcast body of work.

Featured on the soundtracks of ‘Austin Powers’, ‘Ma Femme est une Actrice’, ‘21’ and ‘Morvern Callar’, the engaging appeal of Broadcast’s psychedelic pop has enabled them to comfortably exist in the spheres of their passions; music and film. On the small screen ‘The L-Word’, ‘Skins’ and ‘CSI’ have all featured songs from
Broadcast, with Simpson’s creator Matt Groening also hand picking Broadcast to perform at this years edition of All Tomorrow’s Parties in England for which he is curator, as well as the influential Sonar festival.

Flying Lotus - Kill Your Co-Workers

The band made an animated video clip that showing 3d characters killing each other during a parade.
They also inviting animators to create their own animation using the characters from the video.

APA INI APA ITU (iniitu.net)

Our Belgian ini.itu records family back to their half-hometown these couple weeks. In this quite rare occasion, they invite some local outfits including A Stone A, Evans Storn, Husnaan and Seniman Purbakala to the family gathering. The man behind the label ini.itu records is S/, who also performs as Blindhæð, which as a structure of sonic deterritorialisation is the meeting point of rumbling Lynchian drones, fuzzy microsound and electro-acoustic improv. Blindhæð has released 3 projects until now: one downloadable compilation on Ruidemos, a limited edition LP on ini.itu, and one limited edition CD-R on Mystery Sea. For this event, Blindhæð will be hosted by local friends, and will be processing Indonesian field-recordings and instruments into a journey of broken ambiences and hermetically digitised micro-clusters of sound. Modus operandi: variations, faint
nuances, mediation of thickness and opacity, opposition of lines and dots, interplay between organic found sounds and electronic textures, reminiscences and physical presence.
