11.06.09Skewby – “Proving You Wrong Since 1988 – The Mixtape” proves Memphis hip-hop is moving in a new direction.Skewby, "Proving You Wrong Since 1988 - The Mixtape" Hip-hop heads, Skewby is in the house and he's letting you know right up-front: this ain't what you're used to. Proving You Wrong Since 1988 is a warning filled with shots fired at the status quo of Memphis's traditional style of rap. I've had this sitting in my queue for a couple of months now, and to say I slept on it would be an understatement. Don't you be a sleeper, too -- if you do not have this mixtape, you are sleeping on one of the illest mixtapes ...

O+S will be appearing at SXSW on Friday, March 20th, 11pm @ The Radio Room.

02.25.09O+S haunt the halls on their etherial self-titled debut.There's a tricky dissonance that wafts through the undercurrent of the most beautiful recordings I've listened to in my life. It's the unexpected collaborations or spellbinding accidents of circumstance that unite elements into original flavors. The illogical syllogisms in music are the ones that surprisingly seem to work the best. Such is the case of O+S, whose self-titled debut will be released via Saddle Creek Records on March 24th.

02.23.09The Whitest Boy Alive: the inimitable Erland Oye and co. return to teach us the Rules.An observation: I think if Erlend Oye were a type of fabric, he’d be a smooth vinyl suede. After all, the Norwegian crooner has made his career out of experimenting with various combinations of the synthetic and the smooth. The latest of these efforts is Rules, the second release from The Whitest Boy Alive, due out on Bubbles in March. The Berlin-based group’s 2007 debut, Dreams, was about as close as dance-rock can come to producing a concept album; the stripped-down guitar/bass/drums/vocals galvanized by spare, funky rhythmic consistency made for an album as danceable as it is listenable. This sophomore ...

01.28.09Atlanta’s Black Lips find 200 Million Thousand Ways To Get Chased Out of IndiaThey're best known for their insane onstage antics -- things like making out with each other and pissing into their own mouths. I mean, I can't make this stuff up folks -- I've seen it in action (...pause). But on top of that sideshow freakishness, Georgia's self-proclaimed "flower punk" band Black Lips are a stunning live rock experience unlike anything you're likely to ever see. High energy, a group dynamic that is unprecedented, and hey -- they can play their instruments in the nude without blinking. Wait a minute....paused again. Recently, they escaped the jaws of death ...

12.18.08Loudersoft’s Picks: The Top Songs of 2008Last year, I procrastinated heavily. I think there were a lot of good records that came out the last couple of years, but I started to think that for every record that came out, there was an equal number of these "best-of" lists being bandied about. At first I thought, "Wow, it's finally happened. Everyone's a music critic." Then, with this pervasive thought entrenched in my gourd, I started reading these other lists before making my own. I suddenly felt small. So deadlines for the "best of 2007" rolled around, and I was in a tailspin, dogged by ...

11.08.08Ladytron’s Ghosts has been touched by the hand of BlestenationLadytron's "Ghosts", beautifully remixed by Blestenation, stayed atop the RCRD LBL charts for a while. The track remains popular for a reason: it's great stuff. Ladytron always manages to up the ante with each new release, and this is doubtless my favorite of their remixes this year. The video is pretty keen as well, so enjoy. Thanks to Kermit for the heads-up on this video, Kerm you the best. (Reblogged from RCRD LBL with kind permission) Ladytron - Ghosts (Blestenation Mix)

10.09.08Santi White, I think I love you. | Santogold’s L.E.S. Artistes gets remixed againYes okay. I admit it: I have not shown Santogold enough posting love on Loudersoft because I watched everyone else posting her music and I kind of didn't want to get involved. Seeing her immense popularity explode, I assumed the rest of the world would do it for me, and they did. But I cannot hold back any longer: I have to profess my undying love for Santogold's debut album, all of her remixes that I've heard, for the Top Ranking dubplate she did with Diplo, and just about everything else. I am totally crushed out: ...
