I wish I could go to one of these. If you’re going to be in Philly tonight, or LA on the 27th, make sure to catch Vex’d & Starkey (and Dev79 for the Philly show—his bday party!) This is Vex’d’s first proper US tour together and doing live PA, and the show on the 27th will be Starkey’s first LA…

M’Bot Re-Edits Mix
Here’s another mix! It’s mainly ’80s Italo- & Montreal disco, hi-NRG, & synth pop, with a lot of super-duper-exclusive re-edits that you’ll never ever hear anywhere else (unless you come see me play out). No grand overarching theme like the New Beat mix; just a lot of tracks I like strung together.

Skull Disco 2xCD Drops Tuesday
For those of y’all who aren’t up on Skull Disco, it’s a dubstep label run by Shackleton & Appleblim, a couple of Londoners who are among the most consistently interesting (if not the most consistently dancefloor) dubstep producers out there at the moment. Their new Double CD on Rough Trade, “Soundboy Punishments”, is a pretty comprehensive collection of what they’ve…
New Yorker, You Disappoint Me.
I quote my dear friend and Midwestern-cum-Swedish-transplant biochemist Evan: “Ladies and gentlemen, I present the shittiest article about music ever written.” Sasha Frere-Jones – A Paler Shade of White: How Indie Rock Lost Its Soul, from this month’s New Yorker. In this article, the New Yorker pop critic, former Ui frontman, and brother to type designer Tobias Frere-Jones (a.k.a. “the…

Radiohead In RIAAinbows
I downloaded the new Radiohead album — for free! As many of you have probably heard, they decided to “sell” their new album only through their website; no label involved. I say “sell” because you can choose what price you’d like to pay, including $0.00. I chose to “purchase” the album at the very lowest of prices, just to make…
