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.

Vampire Weekend – A-Punk Last week we had our hair cut and the barber told us his last customer had directed a film about two boys who spend a summer remaking Rambo.

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 [...]

Did you know there’s an Arthur Russell documentary screening at the Berlin Film Festival? 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. Hercules & Love Affair [...]

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 [...]
