I'm trying to give a listen to a number of new records (including Mum and Ape School amongst them) at the moment, but until I find proper time to hear them out and post a couple of reviews, here's a greek tune by Rodes' front man Nikitas Klint (aka Cheap Science). True fun...old school style!

Cheap Science is Making my Name
Summer wait for Mad Men
Is there a better show out there at the moment than the highly addictive Mad Men? Solid characters from Matthew Weiner and an amazing cast in the beautiful settings of downtown Manhattan in the 60's. I'm eagerly awaiting for the new season...August 1961 ain't that far away is it now?Aceyalone & RJD2 - A Beautiful Mine

Pains of Being Pure at Heart @ Gagarin (inc. Flakes)
So we finally made it downtown for yesterday's live by PBPH. Before the "main event" however, there were 2 supports to be "served". First up were Flakes, an indie punk/rock/pop band from Patra (and a touch of UK). To be honest, we were happily surprised by their energy and sound on stage. Their music is clearly following the leads of Arctic Monkey and other british indie rock/punk-ish bands that e

EJEKTing Tonight!
Well..due to unforseen factors, we didn't make it to Monika's live yesterday. Hopefully we'll at least make it to today's first day of Ejekt Festival. Legendary Pixies are headlining and along with them we'll catch Starsailor as well. But the other two bands are the ones that we're really going for. First of all, Editors, who are one of my favorite bands and quite good on stage (seen them 2 yea...

Gossip present Music for Men
Gossip are one of those punk/dance groups that we came to love during the endless cocktails downtown at Pop. They have always mixed punk and dance elements in a combination that urged you to foolishly jump around and sing/shout along with them. Backed up from the gay and lesbian community and a highly successful third album Standing in the Way of Control in 2006, their new release Music for Men...

Yeap..I am a Vampire
After seeing Juno once more (don't ask why...) I have to admit I love it more and more (and especially the music). I'm still laughing out loud with "they're yellow" and singing to Polisar's intro song and Antsy Pants' Vampire (yes..I'm a Vampire too). Add Cat Power, Belle and the feel-good ending and you got a charming deal!

Pony Pony Run Run...Yeah Yeah!
Long time since the last Clip of the Day. This is such a lovely summer tune and video..with all its 80's glory and beats. The new album from Pony Pony Run Run is already out in digital format and is suprisingly interesting. This clip is from their single Hey You. Check it out.

Arthur and Martha Navigate us back to C86
Arthur and Martha are synth/pop duo from Leeds/London. Their real names are actually Adam and Alice (god knows why they changed them...but all indie bands need to have some wierd story behind them) and their music sounds (as Guardian posted it) like a new take on C86. Sweet melodies are combined with twee lyrics to make up a cheerful debut. Navigation will be available on the 29th of June on Ha...

Our Dark Night Of The Soul
This is perhaps the project of the year. Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse have combined forces along with cult (and beloved) director David Lynch in a dark, mystical and alluring album. Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse provide the melodies, a set of guest artists the vocals and Davil Lycnh the 100+ page artwork, which will be exhibited in the Michael Kohn Gallery in LA.Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - ...

Jarvis rocking Primavera
A small take from Jarvis Cocker's performance from this year's Primavera festival. Hopefully BLR will provide more videos, pics and comments since he was our representative there (no festivals for me this year).

The Legends are back Over and Over again
The Swedes are back! (or at least Johan Angergård). The new record by the Legends is coming out in May from Labrador records and a first quick listen to it is more than promising. Johan has shifted style a bit on this one and moves more into noise pop and shoegaze, without losing the swedish pop style(which we all love). Someone commented that it sounds like TPBPH and there's nothing wrong in t..

Long time no see...
Back after a month's absence! Lots of work (endless hours) and 2 weeks in the U.S.Fuc**.A. and back in the pithole for me...I kind of missed everything new in the music scene but hopefully I'll catch up in the next couple of weeks (or at least I hope so). Until then...

Back to 1901
