  See Dan Deacon Live
  Tour, Video (10)

  That's a command, not a competition. In one of the more incongruous pieces of festival programming I've seen in a while, Dan Deacon was booked to follow Feist in her Perth show last night. While Feist was reasonably mediocre (gorgeous voice notwithstanding), it was Deacon who stole the show, playing what could quite possibly be the best 45 minute music experience of my life. I don't think I have ever had such a deliriously euphoric and ecstatic legal music experience. He is also fucking hilarious. In the space of these 45 minutes, he had everyone doing stretches, made us do ...

  Kap10kurt Dangerseekers Video
  Video (3)

  In the music business, they don’t get much nicer than Kurt and Leah from kap10kurt. Seriously, whatever they’re made of should be bottled and sold for a ridiculous price to people that are mean. And the government should force them to pay. Anyway, they’ve just released their official debut video clip for their track, Dangerseekers, (which you can download here) and it’s beyond awesome. This is the stuff I hope my dreams will consist of when I’m about to fall asleep. Want space stations and lasers and anonymous bad guys racing through the desert on motorbikes? Ok. A massive evil robot ...

  The State Of The Music Industry
  Links, News (1)

  A very interesting article on the music industry as reported by the Digital Music Forum East was on Wired.com today. It raised some interesting points from the point of view of both existing 'old-school' players and the digital guys as well. If you like downloading music and paying nothing for it or if you think the current system is fucked or if you think it should go back to the way it was then you should read this article. The State Of The Digital Music Union If you have an idea of where you think it is going you should email me ...

  Osawa is God
  Remix, Video (2)

  Goddamn it if our man Shinichi Osawa hasn't done it again. The always on formKidz by Collete totally rocked my socks a few days ago by dropping some new Shinichi madness, this time in the form of a typically euphoric remix of Felix da Housecat's 'Radio', the new single off Felix's recently released LP 'Virgo Blaktro and the Movie Disco'. It's a little less chopped up and frenetic than some of Shinichi's other remixes, but that doesn't stop it from being equally as devastating. To my mind Shinichi remixes are everything that is good about dance music: simple but effective ...

  New Daft Punk Remixes
  Remix (10)

  Ok, don't get me wrong, I’m not a Hype Machine traffic whore, but I was doing the (Hype Machine) rounds last night and noticed there seems to have been an unusually high number of Daft Punk remixes floating around this past week. Or have there always been that many floating around and I’ve only just noticed it? Either way, you can download a week’s worth of Daft Punk remixes right here in one fell swoop. I like that expression. Now if one more person tries to convince me that Daft Punk didn’t actually play at the Grammies, I’m going to mistake ...

  Vampire Weekend Support Young Knives
  Release, Remix, Tour (1)

  Is this not the one of the creepiest-looking bands you’ve ever seen? Dude on the right looks like he’s just moments away from crushing that milk bottle with his bare hands and launching glass shards ninja-star-style into the back of dude in the middle’s head. Dude on the left will probably hide in the corner and do whatever lame defensive moves those accountant-types do while dude on the right breaks a tray over his head in a really unfunny, non-slapstick kind of way. Tell me you don’t see it too. Having said that, I’m pretty sure Young Knives are just a ...
