The Deer Tracks >>
Posted on 08.26.08 by Chris @ 9:43 pm

Heard this band from my inbox.

From  Sweden, here’s The Deer Tracks with their debut offering called Aurora, out on Aug. 27th (Despotz Records).  Soft pop girl/boy vocal twinkles backed my quirky drum machines.  Fits on that mixtape with AirM83,  maybe Air France.

For a start, check out Yes This Is My Broken Shield. It grows to a great build, wait for it.

Here’s the video for Slow Collision.

Two quick things… >>
Posted on 08.26.08 by Chris @ 3:24 pm

My dodgeball team (The Los Angeles Dodgers of Toronto) are now league champions!  It took us just over 2 years to get here but with a nail-biter win over the Soviets in the semi-finals and a hard-fought challenge in the finals against the Electric Octopus Experiment we came out on top.

Its not really a huge deal, but it felt pretty good.  Here’s looking forward to the fall season.

and secondly, people chasing pandas and runners (from Exitfare).

Freeze and Explode >>
Posted on 08.25.08 by Chris @ 12:29 pm

Due out Sept. 9th is the release date for Jason Drake’s (aka Cassettes Won’t Listen) new extended single “Freeze and Explode“, a 6 song record with three new songs and 3 remixes of the title track.  We’ve always loved to hear everything coming from his camp, whether a remix or something original.  Put your stereo on repeat and check out the song below.  The rest you can stream from his homepage.

Nice Train by The Donkeys
Posted on 08.25.08 by Chris @ 12:00 pm

Who : The Donkeys from San Diego.

What : I was at a wedding last night and even though I was the designated driver, I’m still feeling this morning that we should start things slowly.  So sit back, relax and throw on this tune by the Donkeys .  A new song from Living On The Other Side (their record soon to be released on Dead Oceans ), enjoy those sweet harmonies reminiscent of The Dead or The Byrds .  US tour for the band is underway, check the myspace for details.

Song : Walk Through A Cloud .

The Old Prince Still Lives At Home >>
Posted on 08.22.08 by Chris @ 4:02 pm

The Old Prince Still Lives At Home by Shad.  Why does this look familiar?  oh, right!  The original song was so popular in my time that it became a camp song when I was 16.

Great video though (by Hot Dog Gardage), clever lyrics.  Think this kid has a shot.

Up All Night by French Horn Rebellion
Posted on 08.22.08 by Chris @ 1:05 pm

Who : French Horn Rebellion from Milwaukee but currently residing in Chicago and New York.

What :  Boombastic electro induced pop from a band comprised of the Perlick-Molinari brothers Robert and David.  One’s a French Horn major in Chicago, the other a producer in New York (worked on the first MGMT ep).  Every once in a while they get together and hit the road, currently doing a bunch of American dates, guess I’ll have to wait.

Song : Up All Night .  Want more?  Check out their remix of This Is Ivy League ’s song London Bridges .

Golden Age by TV On The Radio
Posted on 08.21.08 by Chris @ 6:59 pm

Who : TV On The Radio from computerville.

What : The first single off the upcoming album Dear Science to be released on Sept. 23rd (Interscope ).  A lot poppier and accessible then their previous music, but I’m digging it.  Guaranteed, this is the song from your summer playlist where people turn their heads and wonder "who IS that???  Is that from Midnight Vultures ??".

Song : Golden Age .  Stream it at TVOTR.com .  Check the machine as well, its out there.
