The Idle Hour(s)
A few decent shows to travel for this weekend. I’m not sure if they’re actually worth traveling for, but if you just so happen to be in that city at that time, why not.
indie rockers? serial killers? maybe both. These fellas are from London or NYC (the truth is unclear); however, they have a penance for singing about the dust and rust of the dirty south. One part NYC, one part...

Justice releases new single from upcoming album
r
It’s been awhile since I’ve heard anything original from Gaspard and Xavier. They’ve been busy winning grammys for their remixes. Their new album is rumored to drop sometime in 20(10/11). Here is the first single from said release. Short and Sweet.
Justice - Beginning of the End
EDIT: Turns out this was a fake track released by a hacker. The internet is so much fun....

Story of the day(s)
Neo-Nazi matchmaking service run by a lady who is the mother of the Miley Cyrus knock off, white nationalist, tween pop group, Prussian Blue……. Oh emm gee.
I’ve already signed up for an account just to see how bat-shit crazy these people actually are.. I’m only kidding though. I’m too afraid of being put on some terror watch list.

The Idle Hours
The Hood Internet is playing tonight in Detroit at the magic stick. It will be an in your face sweaty hipster dance party. They’re a mashup duo, with a lot more AnCo and Ratatat then ace of base and elvis costello in ‘em. I’ve been wanting to see these guys for a long time, but it will be a game time decision due to an illness I’ve been fighting with samurai prowess....

Dinosaur Feathers
My first favorite band of 2010. Pefect experimental pop music. What I wish all the chill wave/AnCo imitators were. Head over to their website and download their entire 4 track EP for free. Here is an extra one for you as well.

Coachella Line-up Released
The only band in large print that I would like to see is LCD Soundsystem. If you dive down into the rest of the lineup there are a ton of great bands.. I’ll have to put together a Coachella playlist to get you up to speed with who is going to be there. If you’re going to attend an “indie” music festival (Is Jay-Z indie?), you have to be able to sing along like...

Haters will be Haters
Haters hating on something that deserves no hate
If anything, VW has proved, with their sophomore album Contra, that they are who they are and they make the music that they make. Their music is not a product of their image and their image isn’t a product of their music.
This is a great album
Vampire Weekend - White Sky

Billboard picks Nickelback for band of the decade
It’s about time they get some recognition. I mean their songs are so beautiful and meaningful. Thank you to the lovely Angora Holly Polo of the Donnybrook Writing Academy for reminding me of how great Nickelback really is. This song is powerful.
Nickelback - Photograph

Song(s) of the day
Everyday I post what I’m listening to so that you can listen to it as well. My intent is to have every person on the planet singing along to the same tracks at the same time. That would be quite vexatious.
Baby it’s cold outside, so here is some proper Siberian music. So close your eyes and let your mind retreat to a cabin deep in the Wisconsin wilderness. If you’re at work,...

HypeM contracted God to come up with a kick ass algorithm to aggregate all of the blogosphere’s best of lists and then placed said lists in a nice tidy format for us. Wasn’t that nice of them.
