Hard-Fi: Cash Machine

One of the best new tracks I’ve heard in a while: Hard-Fi: Cash Machine. The album’s not bad either.

Her Space Holiday

Her Space Holiday’s Young Machines was one of my favorite albums. Turns out the new album’s going to be out in a couple weeks. There’s a preview track at the official Her Space Holiday web site. There’s also a bunch of remixes on HSH’s MySpace and a mix tape by Marc […]

I just wanna get stoned, and write “fuck” on the wall

New NIN video

Leave your masterpiece un-finished

The Suburbs are Killing Us is hosting their name-sake, the My Favorite song “the Suburbs are Killing US.” Find the November 4th entry.

The Strangers were one of my favorite live acts in Oly, their mp3s don’t really do them justice.
There’s a couple more Strangers tracks here, and two by my friend Adam’s band Kickball.

Avenpitch mp3s

I first got into this band when they were called the Flesh Peddlers and I read a review that said their album sounded like it was recorded by a bunch of Tweakers who broke into Trent Reznor’s studio and set it on fire and tried to make an album before the studio burned down.
The Flesh […]

Lucky Pierre, again

So I got the new Lucky Pierre, and I like it. It’s much more upbeat than McMahon’s Prick stuff, but still pretty melancholy.
Here’s a semi-recent interview with Kevin McMahon.
And I noticed that there are 3 mp3 samples on The Official Lucky Pierre Page, but they don’t include “Side Walking.”

Jim’s Big Ego

Looks like there was a Jim’s Big Ego remix contest. Haven’t listened to the remixes yet, but I will.
Check out the videos for “Stress” and “Little Miss Communication” on the Jim’s Big Ego site
