In this world of mocha breves and soy chai lattes, Coca-Cola Blaks and shitty Red Bulls, you must dance. Dancing is essential to the survival of the species, people, and MSTRKRFT are prepared to serve. Featuring Jesse of the profoundly-spazzed-out Death From Above 1979, MSTRKRFT has a name that describes their immense body of remix work -- its masterful electronic insanity that forces a decision on you every time one of their tracks is playing. After remixing stuff for everyone else, here comes their own master work, The Looks with a guarantee of madness. Watch as ...
I am a sucker for handclaps. I am also a sucker for horns and silly pop songs. Therefore, it only makes sense for me to spin a song that I recently discovered for all of you. The band is called Monkey Swallows The Universe and their song "Jimmy Down The Well" is great. A fun song to dance around to on a summer night where the sun is still shining for the last half-hour of the day. And have I mentioned the handclaps and the horns? It makes this song go from twee-cute to awesomely mellow. (Yes, too many adjectives ...
Hey kids, have you behaved and done what Bethanne told you to do? You should have. She knows her shit -- recognize, bitchez. So, I'm sitting here in Los Angeles having a great time but remembering how much I hate it here. Every time someone walks into the room, it's never normal -- it's a "grand entrance". Yes, I actually am looking at you -- and thinking what an idiot you are because you're dying to be noticed. Now that I noticed you, I'm going to stare at the floor some more and dream ...
A long time ago, E.J. turned me on to Polyrock and I fell head over heels in love with the record that I have. A solid, weird mix of post-punk and spazz rock, this is probably the band that should have influenced many contemporaries (The Dismemberment Plan, Beep Beep, etc.) and probably did. Regardless, the songs are quirky at best, yet with repeated listening, they start to make sense, and that is what I love about Polyrock. I am sure that E.J. will probably mention a lot more information from what I can give you today - seeing as he ...
Hello! As E.J. has stated before, I'm Bethanne from Clever Titles Are So Last Summer and I am watching over this blog with lots of love for the next few days. I won't break anything (I promise), but I do have some good songs lined up for consumption here and hopefully it'll make E.J. proud. :)
First up is a band that is getting ready to tour with Cursive in the next few weeks: LaSalle. Hailing from my hometown of Lansing, MI, this three-piece combines alternating boy-girl vocals amid hard-tinged indie rock. You might recognize a few faces as Mike (guitars/vocals) ...
I'm on business for a few days, so I've turned the Loudersoft reins over to Clever Titles Are So Last Summer's Bethanne while I galavant around the nation. You kids be good and eat your Weetabix and do what Bethanne says while I'm gone, k?
You know, I haven't updated since Friday, and my boy Pretty Tony posted this totally old video in a bulletin. It's been a long time since I saw it, and I about fell out of my chair laughing to see it again. So, welcome back to 1998 again. Here's the classic "Barney Meets Tupac" video. Watch it again for the first time and I'll update in the morning, mmkay?
The FADER Magazine, considered by many to be the definitive music magazine for the discerning music fan, is now about to meet yet another first: the first magazine to be distributed through iTunes for purchase. I think this is really cool, I'm downloading it right now myself and I'll post a review later. For now, I'll just copy and paste this press release because I have work to do!
The FADER's annual summer issue, one of the most anticipated issues of the year and featuring the best of what the season in music has to offer, will be the ...
What can I say about a woman with album titles like Fatherfucker? The teaches of Peaches are about to heat up the summer skies with the release of her latest album, Impeach My Bush, and it's gonna make you go downtown and eat it like a vult-cha. She wants to show you her thing, she wants you to rock the shocker, loves some slippery dick and guys, listen up: Peaches wants to take you home for drugged out sex but only if you agree to fuck your male companion in the ass. Well, ok then. This ...
