Health – “Die Slow” (Tobacco Remix)

by Mark Jackson on August 21st, 2009

Woop woop! “Die Slow” and it’s accompanying Pictureplane remix that I touched on a few months ago still rank high on my favorite tracks of the year. Then I saw this and just got ridiculously excited: mp3: HEALTH – Die Slow (Tobacco Remix) Tobacco is part of the psychadelic electro-pop band Black Moth Super Rainbow, [...]

Nine Inch Nails’ Lights In The Sky Tour HD Footage Downloads

by Mark Jackson on August 18th, 2009

After Nine Inch Nails finished their epic Lights In The Sky tour featuring a ridiculous light show if you want to call it that (screen show would probably be a better word), Interscope denied a DVD of the whole thing. For what reason is anybody’s guess because the videos I’ve seen are just astounding. All [...]

HEALTH – “We Are Water”

by Mark Jackson on August 16th, 2009

Their anticipated sophomore album Get Color is out September 8th on Lovepump United, and along with it could be one of 66 random but cool prizes if you are lucky enough to find a winning ticket in your CD case.

by Mark Jackson on August 11th, 2009

I didn’t think they would roll these out until the year was over, but I won’t complain: by the time the year does end we’ll have more end-of-year lists than we can handle– as usual. But as you can see below, the best-of lists are only the highlight. Also included are essays on the state [...]

Organ Morgan – Cocaine Afternoon EP Preview

by Mark Jackson on August 9th, 2009

Some interesting tunes from a yet-to-be-released EP from experimental electronic trio Organ Morgan. As Matthew Mayes explains: “It’s very much in the same vein as The Avalanches, and was heavily inspired by their one and only album Since I Left You. I personally feel there wasn’t and still isn’t enough of this music around…other influences [...]

Two tracks from the ambient musician’s April-released album.

Romanthony – “Collins Ave”

by Mark Jackson on August 5th, 2009

I listen to a lot of progressive stuff, so coming across this laid back Romanthony song is nice. I don’t know if too much music these days is too attention-stealing or it’s just too hard to relate to, but this tune seems to rid both those issues at least for me. Kick back or whatever [...]

Database + French Horn Rebellion – Beaches and Friends (The Twelves Remix)

by Mark Jackson on August 5th, 2009

I caught this track over at Hot Biscuits (…), and it’s real smooth electro-pop. Reminds me a lot of Cut Copy, who I just realized I’ve never posted on before surprisingly. I’ve heard a few Twelves remixes but Database and French Horn Rebellion are new to me. It’s a feel good track (feel good artists [...]
