cut copy – lights and music (moullinex remix)

Since so many of us are depressed and/or bitter after yesterday, it seemed like a good opportunity to brighten the world’s collective mood. For all of the talking about Cut Copy that I’ve done after discovering them during their abbreviated 4-song set to close out the 2008 Pitchfork Festival, I don’t think I’ve ever posted any tunes of theirs. I’m not sure why this is but when I heard this remix recently, it was clear that now’s the time, the time is now. …read more and hear the song…

delphic – counterpoint

the third album released this year that im kind of obsessed with right now is “acolyte” by uk band delphic. special thanks to peabs for telling me about them in our pre-coachella preparation of excellent bands we need to catch. this album is an excellent example of pitchfork completely missing the mark. i mean, the production on this album alone is worth the 5.0 rating, without even taking the songs into account. in other words, this album takes on a whole new life when listened to with headphones. nice job being terrible, pitchfork. i, for one, would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys friendly fires or cut copy or having fun. …read more and hear the song…

second chances with tv on the radio

in honor of me receiving my ticket to bonaroo today (im kind of confused since nobody was home today when they dropped it off, but im not asking any questions), i decided to write about tv on the radio, one of the bands im most excited to see at the fest in a few weeks. and by a few weeks i mean less than 2(!!!!). thats partially because i was supposed to see them 2 or 3 summers ago at st andrews, …read more and hear the song…

the softer side of crystal castles

in the car on a drive this morning, i heard hipster runoffs episode of blog radio on xmu. they were laying down the sickest beats ever, to the likes of the twelves remix of metrics “help im alive” and a pretty nuts remix of vampire weekends “the kids dont stand a chance” which far surpassed my expectations, then a similar sounding remix of cut copy’s “lights and music”. …read more and hear the song…
