where were you in 02?

i was in high school but i'm pretty sure i wasn't being played on national radio. a finalist in this year's JJJ Unearthed High, Tim & Jean aren't doing anything groundbreaking but they are making some very fun synthy electro-pop.

Tim & Jean - Come Around

while we are on the topic of JJJ Unearthed, melbourne's Seth Sentry has another track on high rotation. probably the only australian hip-hop i have ever been excited about.

Seth Sentry - Simple Game

MGMT woke up in Mick Jagger's bed with Debbie Harry

that's the self proclaimed sound of Austin nine piece Til We're Blue or Destroy. an interesting name brings an interesting take on guitar driven dance-pop and apparently a great live show. don't like the odds of them hitting our shores any time soon, so in the meantime....

Til We're Blue or Destroy - All Shook Up

the only pain should be champagne

"you are probably sitting in your room listening to instrumental music"

more than two years in the making, Decoder Ring return with a double album full of experimental, atmospheric instrumentals. "They Blind The Stars, And The Wild Team" is out now and the first taste is free!

Decoder Ring - Beat The Twilight

a little something on the side

more beautiful music from Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver fame). so much love for anything he touches. the collaboration with Collection of Colonies of Bees is no exception.

Volcano Choir - Island, IS

jimi liked it loud

this song has nothing to do with Jimi. it's very Booka Shade and needs to be played very loud.

Jimi liked it loud.
