You are about to begin reading Pinglewood’s first post-holiday post, If On A Summer’s Night A Blogger. Relax. Concentrate. Dispel every other thought. Let the world around you fade. Best to close the door; the TV is always on in the next room. Tell the others right away, “No, I don’t want to watch TV!” [...]

If you hold a mirror up to this photo all you will see is a wall (probably) because HAUNTS with their undead swagger and lyrical obsession with darkness and blood are clearly a band of modern day, rock’n’roll vampires. They suck, but they do not suck, and like all good vampires have a handy sideline [...]

Lucky Dragons are experimental Californian art-hippies whose jones for audience participation turns gallery gigs into unbridled communal freak-outs. When they’re not staging ditzy new age happenings, Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara make albums full of sweet, fluttering loops that lull us into a beatific, dumb-smile trance. Right now we are easy targets for sinister, robed [...]

From this photo it’s not too hard to work out that 24-year-old Benny Boeldt aka Adventure is a Wham City dweller and pupil of electro spaz overlord Dan Deacon. He’s already helped score the Baltimore collective’s ridiculous Jurassic Park play and this weekend takes part in Whartscape 2008, their idiosyncratically awesome festival. Adventure’s self-titled album [...]

One of our favourite ’08 trends is Amazing New Rappers Giving Away Their Awesome Mixtapes For Free. Wale‘s is out, Cool Kids‘s is out, CuDi‘s drops Friday, and at the end of the month we’ll have Kizzaland from Izza Kizza. As a taster, FADER alerted us to cartoon-loving Kizza’s new Sesame Street jam, produced by [...]

We thought the Pinglewood origin story was outlandish, but our tale (raised by bears, sold into bloggery aged 9) pales when compared to Crystal Fighters‘. Their genesis- involving a Basque country funeral and the prophecies of a crazy warrior grandfather- really is something to behold. With a single and further deranged live shows to come, [...]

Poor Bathgate. Thanks to early adopters like Scarface, Capone and Rick Ross there are no good gangster names left. He has to make do with a bad Dustin Hoffman movie. At least he has a nice line in post-Cool Kids slow-mo bass pops. Maybe he should steal the name of the rapper in Tropic Thunder. [...]

After an epic weekend of too much fun we were looking for something gentle and friendly to ease us into the week, a musical massage, so we turned to Gentle Friendly. We can probably take a snooze while this is on, we thought. Wrong. GALLOPING DRUMS. FRENZIED FEEDBACK. WHITE HOT ENERGY. Hello, week. We are [...]
