Buzzbands I coulda/shoulda blogged abt in 2k10
Every year there are so many buzzbands that are available to ‘buzz about’/align your blog’s brand with by covering them on a regular/daily basis. Some artists are ‘good’ and ‘deserve hype’, but other bands sorta represent how hollow/forced the buzzosphere can be. Here are bands that Carles ‘could have’ blogged abt on HIPSTER RUNOFF this...
Will 2k10 be the ’shittiest year’ in the history of music/indie music?
I feel worried about 2k10. It seems like 2k9 is a year that we should feel ‘ashamed of’, and 2k10 is a year that we will sort of just emotionally ‘pull back’ our interest in tastemaking. I feel like 2k9 has had some ‘good products’, but maybe it was just a year where we are learning ‘how 2 use the internet’ when it comes to consuming music. It...
EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Ape School - Andrew Broder + Daedelus Remixes
According to the nightmarish picture above, either Michael Johnson’s devolved into full-fledged Cro-Magnon, or his Ape School project is growing its own dimension. Thankfully, it’s the latter, and today we’ve got two tracks reshaping some tunes off the debut album that Sam discovered earlier this year. First up, it’s Andrew Broder of Fog inflecting “That’s OK...

RCRD OF THE DAY: Shout Out Louds - Fall Hard (Passion Pit's Summertime Radio Mix)
(Photo: Christian Haag) If there’s one thing central to the Passion Pit M.O.–aside from that falsetto–it’s their transfusion of weightlessness: synths seemingly overloaded with helium, drums blasting like air cannons, the whole amalgam sounding like one giant ball pit rave. Their rerub for Sweden’s Shout Out Louds slows but doesn’t sully that jubilant...
EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: BURNS + Gossip + Passion Pit
Punch! Yay! Mitsubishi! B U R N S is totally strobe-ing out the UK electro scene right now, and rising hype says he’s the new Calvin Harris.  Put down your drink, we have to go dance like this minute or this beat’s gonna kick through our ribs like Alien!

RCRD OF THE DAY: Passion Pit - Little Secrets (Jokers Of The Scene Remix)
This fresh edit of Passion Pit’s "Little Secrets" by Jokers Of The Scene has been the arsenal cornerstone of basement DJs for weeks, but finally debuted to the masses on Monday as a RCRD Of The Day, our daily download partnership with MySpace Music. Here, the Fool’s Gold duo shapes Passion Pit’s gleefully wonky pop tune into a bass-laden, 4 AM club track, where the...

(Photo: Magnus Magnusson) Both Passion Pit and Miike Snow have debut records scrapping for summer speakers; PP’s Manners is out now through Frenchkiss while Miike Snow hits next Tuesday (June 9) through Downtown. The latter flipping the former’s new single is a nice bit of ‘09 synth-rock synergy, we’re just amped to hear the Snow guys release their army of buggy...

Lollapalooza 2009 - Recap and Day One Photos
The last Lollapalooza of the this decade is in the books and despite, what on paper, looked like a less than impressive lineup, it turned out another weekend of exciting and memorable moments just as in years past. Every year going at Lolla, one is expected to battle oppressive heat, but on Friday this year, Mother Nature decided to throw in a little something extra - a rain storm that only...
