- » I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY
Fuuuuck, this song rules. Mi Ami carry this pounding rhythm for over 6 minutes here, without losing any of it’s original steam. read - » NOTHING HURTS
So if you have read this column at all regularly, you’ll notice I’ve got a bit of a semi for British 3-piece Male Bonding. Their simplistic pummel has been pretty joyous to my ears over the last year or so. read - » GETTIN UPPERZ
T54 are a band from Christchurch. They used to be called Joe Sampson and the T54. They played at Glastombury, which was effectively a microcosm of the messiest parts of CALH, over New Years 2009 vs 2010. read - » LATIN AMERICA
So it’s not as intense as, say Frenchys, but Holy Fuck still churn out a bit of tension here in their new single, Latin America. read - » ALWAYS LEFT BEHIND
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… read - » SPANISH SAHARA
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. read - » HEALTH

Tweencore: We drink the fountain of youth and glorify musics that are all abouts its!!! BFF styles! read - » Aquadoom
Most dangerous and feared of all sports – synchronised swimming – meets Japanther… read - » Hardcore Coronation Street
From beyond the (g)rave, it’s the 100 best things on my dead hard-drive. read - » Righteous Fists Of Harmony
Real nice new vid for recent visitor Daedelus’ upcoming EP! read - » Bohemian flair
“Once this process of ‘gentrification’ starts in a district it goes on rapidly until all or most of the original occupiers are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed.” read - » Indie spam
Ruling! Heh, spam in the genre of indie/experimental (with ‘troll’ sub-genre), received in TKS comments today. Hey Mr., I totally wasn’t insinuating anything! read - » ACCADACCA
A bastion of your parent’s/grandparent’s record collections are in Wellington tonight, making for a strangely family-friendly event. I’ve not seen as many black shirts since the Destiny Church march in 2004. read - » Daft Crunk
40 minutes of ass shaking lazer booty that causes snakes to crash planes and wizards to learn kung fu! read
