Back To The Future AHHH...! That's the exact sound we made after hearing this song and being told that, no, it's not on Kitsune, it was made in St. Austell, Cornwall in 1982. AAAH...! - Duty Calls [mp3] Posted by: Scott 31/01/08 Screwed & Chopped One song, three speeds. How did this not catch on?

We're in Berlin, a city awash with inspiring experimental art and alive with the constant hum of creativity. It's also full of beer, giant sausages and all-night techno clubs. Awesome.

Antony) In which Beowulf's daughter wanders enigmatically around a tame Roman orgy before bumping into Sadie Frost's ex-boyfriend. Posted by: Scott 25/01/07 Fat Meal Whenever we're a little worse for wear (i.e. always) we crave burgers. Thanks to Brooklyn pop weirdos Excepter, we can now listen to Burgers while we eat burgers. We can even watch Burgers while we eat burgers. We are living in a burger wonderland and it is amazing. Excepter - Burgers [mp3] [Buy] Posted by: Scott 24/01/08 Ice Cream I scream! You scream! We all scream for new Skream! Skream - 2-D [mp3] [Buy] Posted by: Scott 23/01/08 Great Danes Efterklang - Illuminant Copenhagen is a dream city full of beautiful artists and beautiful filmmakers and beautiful musicians who all get drunk every day and make amazing music videos like this one. It's a city where doctors go to fashion shows and give awesome tetanus and diphtheria shots should you need them. Don't ask. Posted by: Alice 22/12/07 Matter Of Factz Heaven's Fallout, the new freebie mixtape from Mickey Factz finds the young Brooklynite delivering smooth, witty rhymes over jacking electro and house beats looped up from tracks by Uffie, Daft Punk and Bjork. Clever. It should catapult him into the cabal of blog-famous, fashion-savvy hipster-hop stars-- the likes of Spank Rock, Wale, Kid Sis and the Cool Kids-- who make rap that's futuristic and fun, just like in the awesome olden days when dudes dropped excitable nonsense over the latest disco hits.

See them at Electrowerkz or Bardens on 15/02.

They hail from Jozi, SA and play heavy afro-rock with deranged guitars and what-the-fuck time signatures. We recently had the pleasure of interviewing them for our new monthly column in Clash magazine (starts in March!) and they're basically the best dudes in the world. They will own 2008. Catch them in New York during February or at SXSW. BLK JKS - Lakeside [mp3] [Buy] Posted by: Scott 17/01/08 Evah After How To Make An Indie-Rock Favourite Bang For The Club, Part 1.

Spoon - Don't You Evah (Mike 2600 Party Version) [mp3] Posted by: Scott 16/01/08 Dream A Little Dream On days like today when sheets of cold, grey rain fall from the bleak, black sky we like to close our eyes and listen to White Shoes & The Couples Company. Then we are young Indonesian hipsters whizzing around Jakarta on our mopeds, crooning jazzy indie-pop in giant sunglasses, drinking milkshakes with our sweethearts. Except we are not. We are on a dirty bus, it is cold, it is raining and it will never fucking stop.

This NYC disco revival is really gathering pace. We blame DFA and their amazing new pals. Just remember to play safe new disco dudes! We don't want you all dying of AIDS like the old disco dudes.

We don't know whether it was Hammer or Tongs but they've also made this cheery new clip for arch-prepsters Vampire Weekend. Like us, they probably have fairly average hair. Posted by: Scott 11/01/08 Another Level Last year, LA punks The Mae Shi replaced their singer, bought some $10 keyboards and started writing weird pop songs. The result of their reinvention is Hlllyh, a beautifully sequenced album where two minute power-punk bangers turn into electro epics that give way to bombastic chanting. It’s a new type of awesome and out soon on Moshi Moshi. The Mae Shi - The Melody [mp3] [Buy] Posted by: Scott 10/01/08 Brutal Birthday Late last year, our pals The Brute Chorus put out their debut single Chateau on Bumpman Records, the label started by every starfucker's favourite Camden pub, The Hawley Arms. We neglected to mention it then (because we're slack), but today is Nick Brute Chorus's birthday, so here is the barnstorming b-side. Happy birthday Nick! The Brute Chorus (ft.

M83 - Lower Your Eyelids To Die With The Sun [mp3] [Buy] Posted by: Scott 09/01/08 Ghost World This FADER photo of Bradford Cox AKA Atlas Sound AKA that crazy Deerhunter dude captures the exact opposite emotion we felt after listening to his new album, Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel. That is, unless his pained contortion is some kind of grotesque, writhing ecstasy. It's hard to tell. Either way, the swooning, k-hole dream-folk of LTBLTWCSBCF (feel the initialisation) is the soundtrack to our wistful winter daydreams.
