SADDLE CREEK's NEWEST, PERHAPS BRIGHTEST TO COME



Former Q and Not U member John Davis + Laura Burhenn = GEORGIE JAMES

For the love of indie pop rock, these two have come together and made sweet, sweet music for us to overdose on. We first heard of Georgie James this time last year when we fell in love with the track, 'Need Your Needs'. Well, it's a year later and we still dig. They recently just signed a deal with Saddle Creek and will be touring in support of their first full length, Places.

Here's a healthy dose of hand-claps and pop riffs.

OK, the presses must really be stopped presently

XL FINALLY got around to posting the video for "Amylase" by Cajun Dance Party on YouTube.



It's hard to believe we first got into these kids over a year ago, but they seem to be only getting better and better. We can't wait to hear what the album is going to sound like. Is it irrational that we're actually kind of SCARED of a band this good? Like, what are they going to sound like once they hit legal drinking age?

Fucking amazing. This is also a vast improvement upon their last video, which was utterly crap, although the song was brilliant. Glad that's sorted out.

So the new Lil' Chris video is out then

...and it's a cover of Jermain Stewart's "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off". This is possibly the first time a 17-year-old boy has said these words, even in song.

We know we just posted about Swedish europop princess Sally Shapiro, but since then a few critical points have been brought to our attention:

1. She is amazing.
2. Sally isn't her real namd and she doesn't perform live.
3. There's a fucking AMAZING (and we do mean AMAZING) remix of her already AMAZING (and we mean AMAZING) song "Hold Me So Tight" by Kimono Kops.

Sally Shapiro - "Hold Me So Tight (Kimono Kops remix)"

This may possibly be Sally's Best Song Ever™. It's like the best Ladytron song they never wrote (and probably never will, are we right). Sally's record is coming out on Paperbag (same label as Tokyo Poilce Club) so be sure to cop that shit as soon as it hits your local indie retailer.

SILVER LINING

The DN's have a lot of love for Rilo Kiley this week (and when we say this week, we really mean always and forever!) WHY DOESN'T ANYONE EVERY TALK ABOUT PIERRE!?! What a dreamboat...Ok back to the music...

The band teamed up with "pal and director Autumn de Wilde (Death Cab for Cutie, Spoon) for their 'Silver Lining' video, the second single from the band's new album, 'Under the Blacklight.'

In the heavily gold-colored clip, frontwoman Jenny Lewis turns runaway bride, leaving guitarist Blake Sennett at the alter. How's that for subtext?" (via Spinner)

If you like artists on Arts & Crafts, you'll prob like this band too...

and they're not from Canada and are actually on Polyvinyl...but anyhow!



WHO: HEADLIGHTS (Erin Fein, Brett Sanderson,Tristan Wraight)
WHERE: FROM CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS
ALBUM: Kill them with Kindness (Polyvinyl Records) is their debut album released in 2006.
IF YOU LIKE: Earlimart, Stars, Broken Social Scene

The album might have come out last summer but it's always refreshing to hear infectious pop tunes that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside while you bop around. Hand-clapping is always a plus. Keys are a nice touch too.

Get ready for this band to become one of your new favorites.

P.S. I really like their video for their song, "TV" and I would have embedded that goodie in this post but alas I cannot. But I promise that it's worth watching, so check it out here.

It Came From WTF: Lil' Mama's so fucking Zwinky

If you've been on Myspace anytime within the last 3 million years, you've probably seen those insanely annoying ads for "Zwinkys" ("Zwinkies" we guess? Does grammar even matter anymore?), which, when we've allowed ourselves to think about them for no longer than four seconds, seem to be some sort of icon generator for "instant messaging" your "friends". Or something. Anyway, our interest has been slightly peaked by these actually rather frightening-looking pixelated hoebags because, well, of THIS:



Wow. Just wow. We had no idea this (once again for the record) INSANELY ANNOYING advertising campaign had reached places OUTISDE OF MYSPACE, let along primetime television. And the fact they Jive have decided to put all their cards on the table and market Lil' Mama (who, may we remind all of you, is actually a GOOD RAPPER) to the tween demographic kind of breaks our souls--OK, we guess our souls are more just sort of sprained, but you can't deny the awesomeness of "Lipgloss" and "No Music". Oh well, we guess that just makes us EVEN MORE like 15-year-old girls than we thought.

EDIT: OK, HOW FUCKING CREEPY IS IT when the Zwinky WHISPERS "'Voice Of the Young People' comin' soon!" What in the holy name of fuck?!?! We assume that's what Mama's album is called or something, but Jesus, we thought we were in Children of the Corn or some shit!

EDIT 2: Sorry, we didn't mean to make a 900 word post about fucking Zwinky, but this 10-year-old girl just slayed the universe.

Technosexuality must end

Recently, Disconap reported that London electronic artist Frankmusik had remixed Mika's "Relax (Take It Easy)" and made it listenable. While this is an amazing musical feat, we couldn't help but notice, via photographs on his Myspace profile, that it seemed he had taken to intimate relations with his keyboard. We took it upon ourselves to look the other way and savor his mini 8-bit emo masterpieces for the time being, thinking that perhaps this was just a one-off fluke, London is a strage place after all. But no. Frankmusik's obscene desires run much deeper than we thought.



DISGUSTING. Obviously Frankmusik is ILL and a MENACE TO SOCIETY. This unnatural union must cease at once. If a man can stick he weiner into a USB port, what's to stop him from using a TOASTER, a MICROWAVE, or even a COFFEE MACHINE? Our very way of live, as Americans, is in grave peril.

If you're on our side (our side being the side WITHOUT the degenerate piano-buggers), please go to Frankmusik's very first live performance, tomorrow at the Buffalo Bar in London and protest his abominable lifestyle. Don't let his amazing music fool you into dancing, celebrating the UK dance scene's new savior, or having any sort of fun whatsoever. The man is sick.

This isn't the new Roisin video, but frankly it might as well be

We're totally not over how FUCKING AMAZING "Modern Timing" is, every time we listen to it, it creeps further and further up our Best Songs Ever 2007™ list. Shit is unreal.

Anyway we've been trolling around Youtube for the video to the new California Roisin single, "Let Me Know", and came across this little thingy instead.



It's Roisin on the photoshoot for the SLEEVE of the new single. Frankly if we've ever heard of a better comcept for a video then we can't remember it. Imagine it: the MUSIC VIDEO is FOOTAGE from BEHIND THE SCENES of the PHOTOSHOOT for the AMAZING SINGLE ARTWORK. When you BUY THE SINGLE it would be like the CONCLUSION to the video you've been watching for the past two months. WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE PAY US TO COME UP WITH THIS SHIT?!?!?!?

Band With A Million People In It Sing About Sex

This is Bling Kong.



We've loved them ever since we randomly got a copy of their debut EP, Greatest Hits: 3.16.03 - 5.20.03, and found it to be chockfull o' nuts. Every song was ranuchy, pornographic and clad in leather--just the way we like it. They also have an album out called Do The Awesome which is... awesome! The band are playing After The Jump on Saturday, though we'll just have to see how they're all going to fit on one stage. We think there might be some sitting-on-laps involved. We sent some questions to Box, ...sizzler and Shredder of the band and this is what they had to say.

1. Hi guys. Unless I'm mistaken, all of your songs are about sex. When push comes to shove, what was your best lay evs? Give or take.

Box: Some of our songs are about murder, too. But my favorite personal experience was when this guy took me back to his apartment where we drank 40's with orange juice (drink OE down to the label, fill the rest back up with OJ) and watched Sleepaway Camp while cuddling. Then we boned. Totally romantic.

...sizzler: I once went out and bought 30 dry pounds of glass noodles. That makes between 150-200 pounds of cooked noodles. My ladyfriend and I filled her bathtub with all the noodles and played around in it for a while. We didn't lock and door and didn't realize the roommate and her mom were there until the mom unexpectedly walked in on us. The roommate then got extra pissed because we broke a bunch of her kitchen utensils scooping up all the noodles into trash bags to throw out the window.

2. If all the BK cheerleaders formed like Voltron, who would be the head?

Shredder: Whoa, you are not speaking my language here. We're chicks, remember? A better question might be: If all the BK cheerleaders were Josie and the Pussycats, who would be Josie? And I can't really reveal that.

3. Quentin Tarantino says you can't be a complete fan of the Beatles and of Elvis, you have to choose one. I believe that same goes for the Smiths and the Cure: where do you stand?

Box: Cure, for sure. Dudes in lipstick always win.

...sizzler: I have the Elvis lightning bolt from the TCB logo tattooed on my arm.

4. What is the cause of global warming?

Box: Clearly, us, especially certain dudes' epic van toots. Sorry, Al Gore.

...sizzler: I'm at a loss for a witty answer to that one.

5. Obviously the wittiest answer was to give me the real, scientific cause. Your band has a lot of people in it. This is kind of a dumb question but was that a conscious choice? Like did you go: 'OK, I want to be in a band with 16 million people in it' or did you just keep adding?

Shredder: BK was conceived to be as epic as possible from the get-go, a plan that included as many drummers and cheerleaders as possible. We kept adding until we couldn't fit any more people on the stage, and even still it's a squeeze.

6. Write a cheerleader chant for me! On the spot!

A-W-E-S-O-M-E
Disconap is awesome, totally!

7. What's the craziest thing that's ever happened on a BK tour?

Shredder: Craziest or stupidest? We've had a lot of stupidly awesome nights of drinking and dancing. Sometimes on pool tables, sometimes to karaoke, sometimes pantsless. Once we set off some fireworks in the snow on a college campus. We've closed bars in Kentucky and soaked in hot tubs in our undies. We've lost a wheel on the New Jersey turnpike. I'd say the craziest thing we ever did on tour though was play an art gala in Ohio that was a fully catered red carpet affair with a balloon drop during our last song.

Box: All those things were indeed awesomely crazy. I'd add though that Lexington seems to always carry the promise of something crazy. God bless Kentucky and their bartenders who are generous with the Basil Hayden.

8. If you could ask one fashion designer, living or dead, to design the costumes to your ultimate concert, who would you choose and why?

...sizzler: Coco Chanel. Excluding her affair with that Nazi officer, her entire life and work is pretty epic.

9. Who in BK has the gayest iPod?

...sizzler: Rainbow Stylin'! By far and away The Tobies has the gayest iPod in BLING KONG. Similou's "All This Love" is probably the toughest thing on it.

Box: That song is dripping with butt sex.

Shredder: We should admit to enjoying his supremely gay playlists on long car rides though. Then we blast some harsh noise from Sizzler's pod to clear the air of all the gay slow jams.

10. Finally, I love your band but not enough people know who you are. You have 15 seconds to come up with the best pitch EVER to convert regular people to BK fandom. BEGIN!

Box: We do a choose your own adventure rock opera about a couple who are bored with their relationship and the various ways in which they fuck it up trying to make it better. It includes sex, adultery, sex, violence, sex, hookers, drugs, three-ways, and a maybe a little sex if you're nice.

Shredder: Loud rock and roll with chicks in short skirts and 2.5 times more percussion than Def Leppard. And all the songs are about getting laid.

11. TIME'S UP! Thank you, Bling Kong!

Box: Thank YOU, CEC! Wanna do it?

They were never really gone! Gone!! GONE!!! to begin with, as "new" album Hey Hey My My Yo Yo has been out in Europe and Japan roughly since the Invasion of Poland in 1939, but it's FINALLY getting a US release, so thank God for that. It's actually REALLY good, like the first album only groovier, more mature (kind of) and actually GAYER, if you can believe it. There's an amazing song on it called "We R The Handclaps" (note playful omission of the letters "A" and "E" in the title) and here it is.
