The Buzzcocks – What Do I Get

With all my friends going from drunk party animals to grandparents overnight, I’m finding it more and more important to indulge in music that keeps things feeling young, fresh and inspiring. Face it, everything was just more magical prior to worrying about jobs and getting married before you you get too old came into the [...]

Bishop Allen – The Ancient Commonsense of Things

I was sent a promotional copy of Bishop Allen’s latest LP Grrr… a week ago but just got around to listening to it last night and what an unexpected surprise it turned out to be. The album is very lighthearted and high spirited, a quality not too many would mind in today’s climate. The Ancient Commonsense [...]

Phoenix – 1901

Drake & Lykke Li – Little Bit

Cut Copy – Far Away (Bag Raiders Remix)

So I’ve heard about 6 remixes of Far Away by now and I have to say this is by far the favorite. Bag Raiders are a production duo from Sydney who started buzz last year with their single Fun Punch. Much of their exposure comes from a steady line of popular remixes, all unique, all [...]
