I’ve Just Discovered :: Frankie & The Heartstrings
Here’s what I know about Frankie & The Heartstrings:
1. They are from Sunderland, in the UK, which according to Wikipedia is also the home of one-half of the Eurythmics (the less-famous one).
2. They have very little music recorded to date, but it’s all very good, in a classic British rock sense. Think the Clash, […]
I’m Paranoid Just Like A Funk Fly.
Elmore Judd (real name, Jesse Hackett) makes music like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Weirdo, leftfield soul funk mixed with gypsy jazz, postdisco and tribal rhythms compose his newest release, Unborn Again. I’ve spent a good amount of time lately perusing his catalog of work and blown away accurately summarizes my take on the London-based […]
Monday Mornin’ Mixtape :: Monster Mash 2009
The boys of Minneapolis have got it going on. While I’ve yet to travel there myself, I’ve long been observing from afar a city that touts a unique merging of the design scene with nightlife. Flyers are exceptionally executed, and parties are not only curated, but branded. There’s quite a few people doing this well […]

All Alone, I Drink From This.
TFPP (or, Total Fucking Pizza Party) are a great new act hailing from the LA-area. They recently released an album for free download titled Phil Spectator and it’s a great romp through the mind of two talented art-musicians. The sound ranges from weird, glitched-out dance, to droning, downtempo art-hop. Phil Spectator is fairly experimental, and […]
My Secret is Hidden Within Me. My Name No One Shall Know.
The enigmatic creature known as Antony has hooked up with Lavazza coffee to sing—in Italian—the classic opera staple, Nessun Dorma. This is part of an ongoing project for the fine coffee producer to showcase music and artists that, “inhabit the same spirit as savoring that perfect cup of coffee”.
More info about the project can be […]
Pop Parfait :: The X Factor Edition
Ok, so not exactly a full on X Factor edition, but two of the highlighted performers did cut their teeth on that “talent” show whether as a judge or performer. Below are some recent highlights from the global world of pop music, and all it’s beautiful/ugly permutations.
Alexandra Burke (of X-Factor fame) calls upon the oh-so-now […]
