Check out the Jono Chanin directed video for Spanish Prisoners’ first single “Know No Violence,” from their Gold Fools album. The video has all the snowy goodness of the white winter season, plus a delusional amnesiac hipster chick. Yes, good stuff. I really love this song, so much so that I’ve provided the lyrics so you too can all sing along. I am really too nice to you guys. Peace.

Not one to rest on his laurels Brooklyn, NY-based producer Chi Duly puts a hell of a spin on one of Toronto’s soon-to-be favorite sons The Weeknd. And what he’s done is no mean feat, on Balloons Of Haus what you hear (and your body feels) is a cross sampling of The Weeknd’s complete body of work. From his first offering House Of Balloons, then onto Thursday, and finally culminating in the latest Echoes Of Silence. Now, The Weeknd’s growing mass of fans can move from listening to Abel Tesfaye in the bedroom and move it to the dance floor, but I have a feeling the vertical dancing will be just as dirty. My fedora off to Chi Duly for giving us another shining example of his production prowess. Peace. Continue reading “the weeknd // balloons of haus + chi duly”
You have a tendency to perk up your ears when such a reputed indie label as Rough Trade describes a band as follows, “The band’s (Pulled Apart By Horses) self-titled 2010 debut was a sonic maelstrom of screamo and hard disco riffage; here was heavy music that you could shake a tail feather to, pop music at its most corrupted. Dance music played by wiry punk weirdo’s.” Such an introduction surely got my attention. So, get in touch with your inner ruffian and see if you can blow your speakers out playing PABH cranked up to 11. To get you up to speed, as a primer check out their 2011 release Until My Head Exploded: Greatest Hits. I gather you need no explanation on what you do with this one, but don’t be surprised if the neighbors call in 5-0. And that’s not all, I also have the band’s latest video for the raucous mosh pit ready single “V.E.N.O.M.” I warned you! Peace. Continue reading “Pulled Apart By Horses // Until My Head Exploded: Greatest Hits // V.E.N.O.M (Video)”
I went walking in a wood, it was cold and near dusk. Around my ears I wore the season; brittle and chilled. Through a copse of trees the wind Continue reading “Mon Khmer – Mon Khmer”
You don’t need me to tell you Bear Hands is an excellent band, such things you already know. But for those skeptics a listen is remedy enough to poke a hole in their haterade filled cups. I’m posting Continue reading “Bear Hands – High Society”
Sprinkle this song liberally over your day and your bound to develop a craving for it quite soon. Thieving Irons is the creative outlet for Nate Martinez, whose no newbie to this whole music thing.

All I can say is give this album a listen. I’m not going to go on about how fantastic the band Extra Arms is, nope not this go round. I’ve listened to their latest LP In Parallel a lot and it still hasn’t gotten old. I hear references of The Cure and Radiohead. But that’s ok, a band has gotta have their influences, right? I’m done talking, stream the entire album below. Peace.
