Filthy Dukes send me the best Messages

filthy-dukes

cause nothing really matters when we’re out of control

Filthy Dukes – Messages (Ft. Tommy Sparks) / Removed by label request.

Apparently Filthy Dukes have been grabbing blog headlines for months now but I only stumbled upon them yesterday when Silence-Killer recommended them (pick up 2 remixes there). Not one to discount a trusted source, I picked up the album… and then had a lot of trouble putting it down. “Messages” follows “This Rhythm” as the latest single off their debut LP, … continue reading

Man Like Me represent London Town

manlikeme

now turn to the crowd and sing your song

Man Like Me – London Town

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 Cancun. I imagine sun soaked bodies and booze soaked beach parties. Break out the ghettoblaster and a grip of D … continue reading

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 described themselves as having a “master plan to infect the world with a dirty groove like some out of control … continue reading

Patrick Wolf pulls us through Hard Times

patrick_wolf-bachelor

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 25 year Londoner plays like every instrument under the sun and as far as I’ve heard, plays them well. “Hard … continue reading

Comet Gain look for Love Without Lies

comet-gain

i am just another dumb movie, can i borrow part of your life?

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 Bill Clinton’s first year in office. They have 7 albums under their belt and they are still cranking out jams … continue reading

Basement Jaxx make me wet with Raindrops

jaxx-raindrops

just like a waterfall straight through the heart of me

Basement Jaxx – Raindrops

Whaaaa! New Basement Jaxx!!! If you are all like “Why you flippin? Their last few albums weren’t even any good, bro.” Then you haven’t hit that little play button yet. Push it! The guys that brought us “Red Alert,” “Romeo,” “Take Me Back To Your House,” and awesome videos like this, are back with beautiful artwork to a beautiful song. “Raindrops” doesn’t even have their usual … continue reading

Brakes ask that you Don’t Take Me To Space, Man

brakes1

singing goddamn i’m happy just to be alive

Brakes – Dont Take Me To Space (Man)

You may have noticed that new little eMusic Daily Download box in the right sidebar. eMusic subscribers can pick up a free song everyday! What does Amazon give you? One a week? Ha! That, along with a million other reasons, are why I love eMusic and have been a subscriber for 3 or so years. Oh, and this hot track by Brakes? Yeah, … continue reading

Rogues suck? It’s just Not So, Pretty.

rogues

lock me in a room with time, see who comes out alive

Rogues – Not So Pretty

The word “Rogue” has a definite history of associations in my mind: from the X-Men in my early years to Rogue Wave and rogue missiles/soldiers/whatever in later years. I think UK’s Rogues are poised to overshadow all those. These guys have only dropped one mastered track on the world but their collection of demos on their MySpace show huge promise. “Not So … continue reading
