Saturday, December 31, 2011Happy New Year | Black Swan Runners Album in 2012![]() Boy does time fly by. It seems like just yesterday when I wrote the New Years post for 2011! Well I'm really glad this year is finally over, it feels like I crammed a lifetime of stuff into just one year. And if you're reading this blog, you're hopefully interested to know that the Black Swan Runners album is finished, mixed and mastered, check! Stay tuned in the next few weeks as we'll be posting a couple of songs and the artwork soon.
Thursday, November 17, 2011This Must Be The Place (Starring Sean Penn) | TrailerI just stumbled on this movie and can't believe it seems to have fallen under the radar seeing how it's scheduled to open next month in December. How can you go wrong with Sean Penn as a Robert Smith (The Cure) styled aging goth rock star who is in search of his father's executioner, an ex-nazi war criminal who is a refugee in the U.S.... Hopefully things become clearer after watching the above trailer.
Sunday, November 13, 2011Black Swan Runners | Debut Album Coming Soon![]() Just want to give a quick update on Black Swan Runners' debut album that we're planning to release in February of next year. We've finally made it to the mixing stage and the tracks are getting prepped right now for our favorite mixer, Alex Newport, to work his magic as he did on the last Coco B's album. So excited to finally(!) make it to this point and to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Sunday, November 6, 2011The Black Keys | Lonely Boy: VideoThe Black Keys have been on a roll lately and judging by this new song and video it doesn't appear they are ready to slow down. This video just confirms that sometimes it's best not to overthink what you're doing - KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).
Wednesday, September 7, 2011Girl Talk | Documentary: A Day In The LifeMonday, September 5, 2011Wilco | The Whole Love: New Album![]() If you're a fan of Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot then the new one is a shoe-in to complement other classic Wilco albums. They kind of lost me for a bit in the making of the last two albums with the shift in band members and the addition of Nels Cline. But after listening to The Whole Love (streaming now @ their website), reminds me of the time I am Trying To Break Your Heart ruled the year in 2002. Born Alone: Live Acoustic Version | Track 6 | The Whole LoveSaturday, August 27, 2011I Break Horses | Hearts: Album StreamI am loving I Break Horses debut album Hearts right now. It's the perfect combination of ingredients that brings to mind The Primitives and The Raveonettes at their best. Not too many bands are able to pull this off and still make it sound new and intriguing. Highly recommended, click on the above picture for the full album stream.
Monday, August 15, 2011Saturday, August 13, 2011Wednesday, August 3, 2011Tycho | Hours: Dive LP PreviewThere's just something about Tycho, aka Scott Hansen, that not a lot of artists have the ability to accomplish using primarily electronics. Tycho's tendency toward hypnotic beats isn't the most original, but it's his use of catchy and organic sounds that make his stuff perfectly genius. The above track is from Tycho's full length titled Dive and scheduled to be released in 11/2011.
Wednesday, July 27, 2011Ryan Adams | A Punk: VideoNot only does this video prove Ryan Adams is pretty much a genius, but damn can Vampire Weekend write a good song or what!?!?
Wednesday, July 20, 2011Labrador Records | Compilation: Free MP3 Download![]() I've been listening to Labrador Records 22 track compilation Stockholm Belongs to Us for the last week or so and really can't say enough good things about it. If you're unfamiliar with the Labrador Records roster, this compilation is a great introduction to the sounds coming out of this Swedish label. Here's the link: http://www.labrador.se/stockholm/. And did I mention it's free!
