A funny thing happened to me on the way to the Red Box the other day. Not necessarily on my way there, but when I got to the shiny red giving box, the movie I wanted wasn’t there. I began skimming the screen and came across a Spanish movie, The Night Buffalo, with Diego Luna…

Juana Molina on KEXP Documentary
KEXP has done a tremendous job with the Juana Molina documentary they have available for your listening pleasures here. I knew that she was an actress, but didn’t know to what status and how much of a sacrifice it was for her to forgo her acting aspirations for her musical ones. She has also contributed…

Lissy Trullie ::: Bluebird Theater ::: 05.11.09
Don’t let the harsh voice of Lissy Trullie intimidate you. She’s dainty and melodic and her vocals are a mesh of two of my favorite 80’s female singers. Imagine if Chrissie Hynde’s voice got together with Blondie’s voice and they made a baby. That baby would be Lissy’s voice. The 70’s inspired guitar leanings ala…

I’m a sucker for summer blockbusters. In this early 2009, I’ve seen the two major ones Wolverine (zzzzzzzz) and Star Trek (no need to be a Trekkie to enjoy the great effects and above par storyline). I have a pair of passes to giveaway for the next blockbuster of the year, Terminator Salvation. An interesting…

The new album, Music for Men, from the Gossip will drop on June 23rd (it seems like there’s a lot more releases on that date) and this new remix does the original version more justice than possible in a way that captures all of Beth’s spastic features . Remix courtesy of Black Lights. The Gossip…

Italo Disco or Italians Do it Better has been getting a lot of press and love as of late. The sound has been emulated and formulated by Sally Shapiro. The Swiss will be dropping her forthcoming LP early fall, but you can catch a snippet of what is to come below. The LP will include…
Bloc Party
I guess more and more bands are getting the fans involved with the creative aspect of video making. The video was shot over two nights at Londons Olympia by fans with mobile phones. The track is taken from Bloc Party’s ‘Intimacy Remixed’ out now on Wichita Recordings / Atlantic (US) The full tracklisting is: 1….
