What happened to Jeff Mangum?

I was just thinking about him the other day. Looks like I’m not the only one.

Haha Oh Shit I love Andrew W.K.

Apparently this amazing man is opening a venue in our fair city of NYC at 100 Lafayette. Apparently this venue is supposed to be called Santa’s Party House and apparently there are no vehicles in this world that will get me to Alex W.K. fast enough for me to throw myself in his arms and […]

Ratatat Remixes Mixtape 2 Baaaybbeeeee

Looks like this has been floating around for a few months but it’s mad cute, so I’ll link you anyway. Those sweet babes in Ratatat dropped a second remix mixtape for free right here.

Tracks to peep the most are…shit, I don’t know. They included three (count, ‘em! 3!) tracks featuring B.I.G, threw in some […]

Trainers by the Truckload

 
Dizzee is back!(?) He dropped some killer tracks last year, and this new one with Calvin Harris feels like at least a half a banger to me. Synth hooks, yo.

New Deerhunter Tracks That Aren’t Really “New”

Deerhunter just posted these outtakes from the Fluorescent Grey EP on their webpage. Most traxxx were recorded by Bradford Cox himself, but this EP is one of our favorites from good ol’ 2007 here at SC, so check it out.
1. Fluorescent Grey (Home Recording July 2006)*
2. Dr. Glass (Home Recording July 2006)*
3. Like New (Home […]

Daft Cyber-Punk

I just found a way to redeem the fact that I was a sorry slacker and didn’t get field tickets for the Daft Punk show at Keyspan Park in August. I’m putting in my order for one of these

just as soon as I get copyright permission from the band and raise $65,000.

Summer dreamin’, take me away

You know what would be nicer than seeing Gogol in July amongst slavo-gypsypunk-philes in New York? Seeing Gogol amongst gypsypunkphile slavs. Yes I would sit through an hour of techno for that. There has to be vodka around that place. Maybe marinated herring.

Go Do This: Kickball at Cakeshop

One of my favorite West Coast bands, Kickball, is playing in New York this week with French band Clara Clara. You can catch them tonight at the Cake Shop or on the 29th at the Woodser in Williamsburg. Like you’d expect from an Olympia, WA band, Kickball have a bit of a hippie vibe […]

Foxy Got Robbed, She Don’t Hear You Though

ooh she fiiiiine but she crazy.
Troubled rapstress Foxy Brown was accosted early Monday morning by some of her ex’s streetwalkers and got her purse, weave, and hearing aid lifted. Foxy and her former boo were at a party at Pink Houses that night, reports the Daily News, via the illustrious and delicious Missinfo.
After learning […]

widdle bits: Anna Karina is my Moon Goddess

Amy Winehouse samples “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” in her new song, with the video directed by David LaChappelle. She has drugs under that beehive. Try to make me go to rehab, I say Yah Mo Be There. Video above.
In “sports” news, pro wrestler Chris Benoit supposedly killed his family, then himself.
A crazed cop strangled […]

We Did a Thing: Superchunk at McCarren Park Pool

Superchunk played a free show yesterday at Williamsburg’s McCarren Park Pool, the first in this summer’s series of pool parties at the popular waterless swimming hole. We obviously don’t need to tell you how great this band is. You know how people say when Morrissey sings, it feels like his lyrics were written just for […]

widdle bits: Blog ‘Till You Barg

The infamous “splasher” may have showed up at Shephard Fairey’s Brooklyn opening. No news yet on whether he has been strangled or forced to ingest Krylon. (woostercollective)
Ebony Bones, Britain’s newest vocal talent is blowing up Glastonbury this weekend. Peep her Myspace, lady got pipes. Video ass-well. Oh yeah, her hot track is “Don’t Fart […]

Seriously, DRAFT KEVIN DURANT! My boy Kirk Krack told me that Greg Oden is older than Old Man River. Dude was born in 1988.

The Journey leads to Celine Dion? GAY

I don’t even have anything to say about this.
Video tries to do “Sopranos,” ends up with praise from the NYT, but is still almost as retarded as checkered Vans. And Hillary’s campaign song is from that chest-beater now. Who cares (my parents won’t see this on the Internet anyway, but maybe Channel 5 or something), […]

Clean Up On Aisle Me

Listen Justin, I know the last video was a little bit (unnecessarily) extravagant, but you’re boring the pants off me with this one. The special effects look pretty cool, but they would probably look better if I was stoned. Love stoned. Get it? Anyway, here it is, the new Justin Timberlake video for “Lovestoned.” My […]

Angus Andrew and Sonny Kay: Separated at Birth?

Well duh, not by looks.
This new Liars track from their upcoming s/t album sounds juuuuust like a VSS song. From the spaced out vocal effects to the (oh god i’m going to type it) angular* guitars and synth’d out madness, this track has 1995 written all over it. The problem is, I don’t hate it.

Swear to God, You Are Such a PYT

 
The debut Justice album, †, drops today - or it dropped yesterday, who cares? You already downloaded it last month. Either way, wheels of steel warriors will want to pick this up. You know the deal: French dudes, Ed Banger, Uffie, a song about Michael Jackson that I have quoted as a headline at least […]
