I’ve been MIA, sure, but I’m coming back full force.Meanwhile, it’s here. Electro, indie, pop, whatever — I have a special place in my heart for John Mayer. And it’s fucking here.- Lloyd(Does anyone else think this is the most ridiculous album art ever?)

Owl City - Fireflies on Vimeo.Song was released awhile ago, but I'm still giving it a listen every now and then. I can't get over how similar it sounds to The Postal Service. The synth, the upbeat happy tone, and even the guy's voice. He's like Ben Gibbard Lite. Can't miss out on the awesome nostalgia-induced music video filled with all sorts of toys and gadgets that I remember playing with.Owl...

The Strokes helped me ease into indie music back in the day and I thought it was only fair to give his solo album a shot. I fell in love with Julian Casablanca’s voice the moment I heard it back in the day. Now the frontman is releasing his solo album, Phrazes For The Young, on November 3rd (Amazon Link). It pretty much sounds like The Strokes, so there really isn’t much missing… which means

I’m sincerely surprised that this song from Major Lazer (Diplo and Switch collab) has not found its way to the airwaves. I don’t listen to the radio much, but when I do, it’s all repetitive garbage. This song however is accessibly mainstream, danceable, fun, and billions times better than the multiple plays that Jay Sean’s “Down” (vomit) gets. Personally, I like the original better tha

(courtesy of Kamarola)I'm taking a break from my endless script coverage to finally blog about something. I look off my balcony to finally the see the sun shining once again in Los Angeles, a sight that has been especially shy for the past few days. Rain, clouds, winds? In the beginning of Fall, something was off in Southern California. A freak incident?It's nice to hear the sound of my neighbo...

The Swell Season - The RainI've been especially swamped with work as of late, but that's really no excuse not to blog. And speak of swamped, it seems like the whole world was caught in a downpour yesterday. Not entirely too encouraging that the rainy season is starting in mid-freaking-October. Hopefully the rain lets up at least for the remainder of this day so I can go to work unscathed…The Fr.

The things people do to hype their albums these days… Vampire Weekend had a Girl Talk-esque moment earlier today, displaying a four hour countdown period on http://www.ithinkuracontra.com/, whereupon expiration, redirected you to their main website http://www.vampireweekend.com to the download of their new single for their upcoming album, Contra.The band’s usual catchy guitar lines are abandon

In continuation with Phoenix’s effort to bring Parisian Pop back to the top, Air drops their sixth studio album, Love 2, on October 6.Hop on over to their myspace to get a full listen to the whole album before you decide if it’s purchase-worthy. Something interesting to note: it’s the first album produced entirely by the duo themselves. It’s mild and mellow, but kind of boring — certainl

Classixx - I'll Get You ft. JeppeA week late, but whatever. I've been busy and depressed over my god damn Golden Bears.The Bang Gang 12 label is doing a promotional deal where they're releasing one mini-mix each week from their artists in anticipation for the label's upcoming compilation CD releasing in October. Cassian's was dropped last week, and boy is it funky. Perhaps the only thing that's...

It’s rare to find an electro song that’s both bangin’ AND mesmerizingly beautiful at the same time. Kudos Boys Noize.Boys Noize - Gax.mp3- Albert

One of my most anticipated films this year, Where The Wild Things Are, spawns some of the happiest music I’ve ever heard. Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs devoted some time to creating an entire soundtrack for the film, under the name of Karen O and the Kids. It sounds very similar to Arcade Fire in regards to the instrumentals. The happiness primarily stems from the undeniably cute voices of t.

A dramatic change has found its way to my life, as I have made the move down to Los Angeles. That’s right, I’ve left the heart of Silicon Valley in Northern California for work in the City of Angels. After months and months of drudgery searching and applying for jobs in the film industry, I’ve landed myself at a fairly major production company. While it’s not paid at the moment, it’s a g

Steve Aoki’s new banger, featuring Zuper Blahq (Will.i.am’s side project). The song itself is pretty whatever, but at least this video is triptastic.Steve Aoki - I’m in the House feat. Zuper Blahq.mp3- Albert

KiD CuDi’s anticipated album officially drops this Wednesday and after a quick preview of his album, I’m excited to pick it up. I’m not quite positive who will win this next-gen rap battle between KiD CuDi and Wale, but KiD CuDi has a strong chance… especially with lively songs such as Enter Galactic. Strong production coupled with some great lyrical talent proves that he is going to be a

Art provided by: Crispy-GypsyYes, it's that day. 9/9/09. No, it's not the release of the Dreamcast 2. Rather, it's a storm of The Beatles merchandise ready to cause devastation within your bank account.1. The Beatles Rock Band Premium Edition ($249.99!)Perhaps the most brilliant idea from the guys that brought you Rock Band since… well Rock Band. I was able to nab an early copy of this and have.

Bag Raiders - Shooting StarsAnd….we're off! It's kind of hard to believe that I'm in my third year of college already — that there are less than two more years to slack off and live life scheduled around the next alcoholic beverage and problem set. While I can't wait to see where I'm going to end up next, I sometimes wish that I could find one of those life-remotes like the one in that film Cl
