[MP3/LIVE] The Good Natured – “Video Voyeur” (+ recent LA shows)

just give me what i want, don’t leave me hanging til the morning light

♫ The Good Natured – Video Voyeur

Try to contain your jealous rage when you hear that I got to catch The Good Natured live this week… and last week. Yeah, pretty radical. And the fact that they absolutely smashed both shows doesn’t hurt either. New stand-alone single “Video …

[EVENT] Hyundai Re:Mix Labs Roundup: Anamanaguchi, Cut Chemist, & Jason Reitman

♫ Anamanaguchi – Airbrushed (RAC Remix)

Whew. What a busy week! Hyundai’s Re:Mix lab was a wild success and kept my evening full and free. The best way to be. Friday night was a ripping live set from Anamanaguchi and their 2 on-stage Nintendo consoles (above). After people reassembled their faces from the …

[EVENT] Re:Mix Labs Update: Skrillex, DJ Premiere & College PLUS Anamanaguchi still to come!

♫ Skrillex vs Capital Cities – Kill Everybody vs Safe and Sound (Soft Spoken mashup)

I can’t really stand Skrillex (aside from the great mashup above) but seeing the dude that draws tens-of-thousands blow his bass in an intimate venue was pretty cool for sure. Thats him next to DJ Premiere on stage at the Re:Mix labs event from Wednesday night. …

[MP3/LIVE] Y LUV – “Keep It Rollin” + Live at Silverlake Lounge 12/7/2011

so here we are, me and myself now

♫ Y LUV – Keep It Rollin

One of the year’s best EPs was just followed up with this fantastic track. “Keep It Rollin” is a bit of a slow-burner as churns along with signature Y LUV momentum, vocals soaring high and wide as guitars noodle underneath and my brain softens with joy. The band …

The mad scientists of indie music, Part 1: Chad Valley, James Vincent McMorrow, Active Child and Royal Wood

Mad scientists

They all have something really unique about their style, like they’ve pulled together obscure pieces of the past and invented something new. Why did I pick these four? Well, I saw all of them perform in the span of a week recently, and the whole time I felt like I was on a freakish ride through the minds of some …

THE GAY BLADES are a must see live

If you have been following TBE for awhile you may, like me, have seen Brandon feature The Gay Blades once or twice.  Subsequently, when I saw they were coming to Austin, I of course asked Brandon “what’s up with these guys?”  He told me they are a “cant miss” live.  Well, last night I was properly introduced to The Gay …
