I’m calling it now. The star-studded EP Derealization by The Forms, coming out in February, will be one of the standout releases of 2011. This is going to be the record where people – fans and music publications alike – will take notice of this band who has been releasing (slowly but surely) solid music […]

A friend of mine recently said that Deerhoof is the only live band left. Apparently they are a pretty great music video band too. This video for the song “Super Duper Rescue Heads!” proves at least one of those two statements is true. The band’s forthcoming album is titled Deerhoof vs. Evil. In this song, […]

Gee whiz, it feels good to be back. In our downtime, we completely overhauled the back end of the website. On top of all that coding, we spruced up the site’s interface to make it easier to navigate. If you have any feedback, please post it in the comments. Thanks for growing with us.

Whether you’re a sniffling nose kid, a hallucinating desert-roamer or a flying whale, you just can’t catch a break in the video for “Kaputt.” The title track from Destroyer’s new album is smooth with Kenny G-style sax and sexiness. I can’t help but feel bad for all the dreams that get shattered in this video, […]

Remember when the iPad came out and the big news about it was how lame the name was? I think people have gotten beyond that now. With Gorillaz releasing an album that Damon Albarn recorded solely on an iPad, with Moog developing its own app, and with so many artists willing to embrace anything new […]

Bethany Cosentino and Nathan Williams and their cat (and album cover star), Snacks, provided some of the most darling indie pop moments of 2010. They’re like the indie stoner rock power couple who, even if you don’t really like their music, you kind of want to hang out with them. So it just kind of […]

The group have announced a contest asking people to remix “Hahahaha JK?” a standout jam from the second of their two releases this year, Sit Down, Man. The original track has a great Boi 1da-produced beat composed of the theme to “Days of Our Lives,” which in itself is maybe a joke, maybe not?

Total ghost aren’t a fictional band the way, say, The Monkees were a fictional band. Or even the way that a modern fictional band like Gorillaz are. They have taken the fake band idea and totally ran with it, taking the internet and probably soon the world by storm. Bictor and Chon hit the ground […]
