All my friends that have seen this movie in Mexico have said it’s one of the year’s funniest and the soundtrack is raising a lot of eyebrows because of the tremendous talent that has been assimilated on the album doing Mexican standards. Camilo Lara (aka Mexican Institute of Sound) and Carlos Cuaron are directly responsible…

Sasha and Digweed to headline Global Dance Festival
More details later, but this looks pretty cool. Unfortunately, I’m not 18, nor do I own glowsticks, but I can say that I’ve seen them both. Not at the same time, but I would like to cross off of my list of people to see while still alive. More details and acts to come. Sasha…
Pet Shop Boys
This is not meant to be funny, sarcastic or snarky. The new Pet Shop Boys, Yes, is a return to true form for the quintessential 80’s duo. The album has all the elements that made them so popular, with catchy lyrics, 80’s synth arrangements, sugary beats, and flamboyant innuendos. Don’t hold that against them, they…
Pretty Lights
I’m happy to see that Colorado is seeing a resurgence in musical talent. We might not be Silver Lake , Brooklyn, or Denton, but we ‘re a pretty tight niche community. The latest act to surface is a producer by the name of Derrick Vincent Smith, aka, Pretty Lights. His live shows are accompanied by…

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
I was able to catch them at SXSW this year, a short set, but enough to reinforce my love for the sappy bunch. Baeble caught The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – 2.27.2009 at Music Hall of Williamsburg, which you can see in its entirety here, and below is a short clip from the…
Empire of the Sun Video
Here’s the video for We Are the People. It will be interesting to see if they do a proper US tour this summer. You can see the video here. Empire of the Sun-We Are the People (Sam La More Remix) [mp3]
Everything Absent or Distorted Tour Diary (sort of)
Everything Absent or DIstorted hit the Northeastern portion of the US of A on tour this past March, and though, they didn’t take great notes on tour, they did take some splendid photos. Here’s to hoping that they do more of these! You can see the rest of their photos over at Donnybrook. EAOD-Japanese War…
The Avett Brothers New Tour Dates
The Avett Brothers will be opening up for Dave Matthews (don’t even front, I know that most of you have an album or two and Two Step is probably one of my all time favorite songs) on their upcoming tour, but they also have a ton of new solo dates below. The Hermanos Avett will…
