Mr. Fyfe Dangerfield is giving me a lot to look forward to in 2010. “She Needs Me” is the second offering (I’m assuming) from Dangerfield’s upcoming debut solo album, Fly Yellow Moon. Go here if you haven’t heard Fyfe’s infectious debut single “When You Walk In The Room”.On the chipper “She Needs Me”, Fyfe sounds [...]

The single will [...]

I can’t tell you much about Monarchy. I can only tell you what I know and what I know is that Monarchy is a duo from London serving up some glorious electro-pop music. I can also say that our favorite boutique label Neon Gold is releasing Monarchy’s debut single, “Gold In The Fire” in February [...]

Artwork by ShakeLupe Fiasco has finally released his hotly anticipated mixtape, Enemy of the State: A Love Story. Lupe calls Enemy a “cassette” because it is intended to be heard in a continuous fashion. He wants you to forget that CD players and MP3 players introduced the “skip” button, but honestly, why would you want [...]

Photo courtesy of Sleepy Number’s Facebook PageHe calls himself Sleepy Numbers. And Z. And Zzz33333. And Zach. Whatever you call him though, there’s no denying his talent. His gimmick is rapping straight over instrumentals of alternative rock and hip-hop songs, sometimes leaving the chorus untouched, sometimes rapping right over that too.Zach overcomes less than perfect [...]

Reader's choice/PMA choice: Radiohead - In Rainbows So far this column has dedicated itself to two albums each year. We've liked that model… it's given us the ability to delve into more bands each year, and discuss more music. It's worked too, since generally there have been multiple bands that deserve "Best of…" honors. 2007 [...]

The Grateful Dead sample in this Animal Collective song, the only authorized sample of its kind, is off a track on their new Fall Be Kind EP. It consists of the lyric, "Willow sky/ Whoa, I walk and wonder why." But in the song, Animal Collective. samples the line so it begins in the middle [...]

The Notwist somehow commissioned this rare Grizzly Bear remix for their upcoming single "Come In". Grizzly Bear bring something new to the table, something they didn't quite touch base on with their latest release, Veckatimest. It's curious though, I mean, can you imagine a Grizzly Bear song sounding like this? Fuzzy, fireworks drumming and blips [...]

Photo Courtesy of Force Field PRNeon Indian, whose album perplexed us, has remixed Grizzly Bear’s “Cheerleader” — off the PMA-adored Veckatimest — not once, but twice. As expected, the remixes sound like Grizzly Bear through a psychedelic lo-fi filter. What wasn’t expected was how well Grizzly Bear wears this filter.The first remix is called [...]

Goddamn this Graphics EP is good. It’s one man from New Jersey… channeling Battles, 1980’s Vangelis synths, pop-song chord progressions, Hot Chip electro-blips and bloops, and well… to be honest, I’m doing the improbably-named Dayve Hawk a disservice by limiting him with comparisons to other bands.Considering that Hawk (as Memory Tapes) is often grouped [...]
