♫ The Big Pink – Dominos

It’s not often that Pitchfork and I agree, heck even when we do it’s usually for different reasons. Luckily one of those occasions popped up the other day when upon their recommendation I gave a listen to The Big Pink’s “Dominos.” Woah, be careful …

Seb is a guy from London who spent time growing up in the Middle East and has passed on his great track, “News For You.” “News” is a soaring electro-scape with dreamy vocals about still being in love with an ex-partner. At first it washed over …

Cosmo Jarvis sings Mel’s Song for all of us

cosmo-jarvis

before we started we were already over, because i can’t talk to girls when i’m sober

Cosmo Jarvis – Mel’s Song

The maturity of Cosmo Jarvis’ lyrics are on par with the above artwork but don’t hold that against him. Just because most guys don’t sing about their balls or body odor doesn’t make Mel’s Song any less sharp, witty, …

Dragonette are Fixin To Thrill us all

get on the floor, don’t make a fuss, just do it

Dragonette – Fixin To Thrill

While I never fell in love with Dragonette’s debut LP Galore, I always appreciated their vibe and did get hooked on a few tracks. I guess I always felt they had huge potential that they weren’t fully realizing. Judging by their new single’s …

I haven’t been to London since I was a tiny bloke and years of hearing about the weather and expense of living hasn’t made me eager to return. Until now. With “London Town” Man Like Me sing about the city like it was Miami or …

Magistrates want to Make This Work

magistrates

if you wanna free your mind maybe we should make the time

Magistrates – Make This Work

I guess Magistrates released this single last August but it’s new to me and I imagine it slipped under more than just my radar. “Make This Work” is a soulful jazzy number that evokes smokey bars, lost loves, and drinking alone. They have …

show me some revolution this battle will be won

Patrick Wolf – Hard Times

Ok, after yesterday’s 17 years late discovery of Comet Gain, I am feeling a little behind the curve admitting I had never heard of Patrick Wolf until recently. The dude has over 12 million listens on Last.fm and three 8.2+ Pitchfork rated albums. Holy Jeezo. The …

Comet Gain – Love Without Lies

Now this is a foot-stomper! Crank it up and wake the neighbors! Who are the wild youngsters behind Comet Gain, you ask? Well that’s where things get “a wee bit odd” as they say. Apparently Comet Gain has been around since …
