Okay I think I first heard this at the Mount Pleasant / With Moths / Rhinoceros extravaganza at Watusi approximately a month ago (that was a p. cool show by the way, too many Phil Elverum vibes to count), and it’s almost disturbing in it’s fidelity to the original…
Mark Linkous, of Sparklehorse, committed suicide. Sad face.
What do Lil Jon, the RZA, Jake Gyllenhaal and Joe Jonas have in common?? Uh, the new Vampire Weekend video…
Golden Axe, Thought Creature, Old Grey Wolf at Mighty Mighty this Saturday!! Gameboy in yr grille suckazz
Woahwoah according to the Matablog, Cold Cave are now playing with ex-members of [...]
Ummmmm so looks like Foals did a total Primary Colours on this one, their new track Spanish Sahara proving that they can move beyond mathy hi-hat ravaging annoyance pretty expertly.

HEALTH, Los Angeles industrial noisebrokers, are coming to obliterate some ears this summer. Nicely. But forcibly. Fresh off their pretty blistering sophomore record Get Color, packed with stop-start juggernaut riffs, pulsating electronic beats and their trademark disaffected vocals, their tour down under will see them hit up all main centres in their first visit to our shores.
Okay so my laptop has been pretty destroyed recently so posts will be sporadic, but in the meantime, here’s an autotuned, not-quite-right cover of Beyonce’s Halo, by Major Lazer.
BASS. Lots and lots of bass. It’s the most striking thing about Telepathe’s live show. Literally. SFBH shook so much during their closer of So Fine that collapse wouldn’t have seemed like too much of an impossibility.
