  Bagraiders Remix Galvatrons
  Release, Remix (1)

  Sometime last year, I think around October, a whole bunch of people started raving on to me about the Galvatrons and telling me to go see their shows. Apparently they were packing out and just playing a really solid live show. A month later they signed to Warner Music and have been on the go since then... I found it really refreshing that the band had an indie fan base and wasn't just some pop manipulation. This is especially amazing considering they are doing to hair metal what Wolfmother did to Led Zeppelin. Now I just have to put up with ...

  Shoes Shoes Shoes Shoes
  Release, Remix (0)

  I already displayed my wealth of love for French electro wonder-kids The Shoes back in March, but recently the remixes have been flowing out so thick and fast, and their touring schedule expanding at such a prodigious rate that it seemed only fitting to revisit G and B Shoe and give you all a taste of what's been happening. First up is their gloriously summery take on the Mystery Jets' 'Young Love, the first single off the MJs highly recommended new album 'Twenty One'. It's a simple remix, but The Shoes have taken the gilded 70s guy-girl guitar pop of the ...

  New Beck Album
  News, Release (2)

  So the world’s sexiest scientologist (pipe down, Tom Cruise, no one thinks it’s you) Beck Hansen, is rumoured to be releasing his new album in the next four to six weeks. And oh my god, four to six weeks is hardly enough time to prepare for my brain to explode with all the anticipatory excitement, so this is all very overwhelming. Apparently the rumour has been generated from MTV speaking to some of Beck’s friends/colleagues, so it could well be bullshit, but it’s still an amazing thought that we could be hearing the Danger Mouse-produced 11th (?) Beck album later ...

  Sweat It Out Launch
  Events, Release (1)

  "Australia's Number One DJ" Ajax has started up his own record label called Sweat It Out. As part of the launch he invited select media along to an inner city gay bar steam house to tell the world about the first release - a mixtape by the imaginative name of Sweat It Out Volume 1. The mixtape has been put together jointly by Miami Horror and Ajax and signals the start of a series of releases over the coming months including a debut E.P. of originals by Miami Horror. Despite the tacky media event I am actually quite excited about Ajax starting ...

  Dandi Wind, Marry Me
  Release (7)

  Following Nek's and Luke's lead in the search for a potential wife, I've found mine in the tiny firecracker that is Dandilion Wind Opaine Schlase. If I happened to be a boy. Who happened to like girls. For now she'll just have to be the subject of my very massive girl-crush. Dandi doesn't really have to do much to render herself fascinating to those of us who didn't grow up next door to a giant replica igloo, but never the complacent creature, she's just achieved something that, at this stage, the majority of her more well-known musical peers can't: she's ...

  Potential Wife of the Week: Lykke Li
  Release, Reviews (3)

  Oh, those Scandanavians are just irrepressible aren't they? It seems that when the French surrendered their semi-serious claim to whimsy, this loosely understood band of snowbound socialist wonderlands emerged from nowhere to carry the torch into the new millennium. That's right, Scandinavia is the new capital of musical whimsy. I said it. I presume I'm the first... But leading the fray, somewhat surprisingly, appear to be the purportedly bland Swedes, who seem to be pumping out a hyper-blogged sunshine pop artist every month or so. The latest musical flavour explosion is, of course, Lykke Li (real name Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson...), ...

  New Van She: Strangers
  Release (2)

    With Strangers we find ourselves one step closer to Van She's full-length debut, V, which is set to be released at some stage in August on Modular. I couldn't be more excited about it, especially since Strangers is such a beautiful track. While the first single, Cat and the Eye, left some of us kind of disappointed, its distant and non-committal air disguised rather unconvincingly as fashionable nonchalance that altogether sounded just a little bit flat, Strangers has seen a solid return to form for Van She. Like Sex City and Kelly before it, Strangers is smooth, catchy, and of ...
