Foster the people with torches?

"Torches" is the album from another LA band - Foster the People, in competition with Broken Bells I guess? Some good tunes, such as "Pumped up kicks" that also exists in raaaad Dubstep version right here. Have a go, apparently the alternative scene has still some imagination to offer. Not bad.

Broken Bells Broken Bells Broken Bells Broken Bells

Broken Bells' new album "Broken Bells" brings surprisingly creative music, in stark competition with MGMT, Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes and a zillion others out there. Definitely worth hearing, especially "Sailing to nowhere" and "Your head is on fire". Where do they get all this. Where??

Check it out!

Circadian confusion!

DEV (Devin Star Tailes, yes, that is her actual name) has an album out "The Night the Sun came up" and I know I called Chase & Status the best base album since Pendulum and Kelis latest, but this one bags the chicken as well. Miss Tailes, born 89 - not bad, has apparently figured out what Ratatat and so many other figured out a long time ago. The people like the base.

Do not miss her collaborations with The Cataracts, especially pseudo-mainstream monster hit Base down low.

In solitary pursuit of of authority

The dubsteppers Chase and Status have released their album "No more idols" and they saw that it was good. Probably the heaviest party album since Kelis' "Fleshtone" and Pendulum's "Immersion" - blast it in speakers with proper subwoof going and a wattage of approximately 200.

And, for heavens sake, do not miss the Dizzee Rascal collaboration HEAVY. All your friends will like it. If not, they are not your friends.

Kamikaze without a cause

The Sounds' new album "Something to die for" had a song on Scream 4. Quite an achievement. Other than that, the sound of the Sounds is qualifies as "Indie Rock" because they have added electronic stuff in some of their songs. If there was such a thing as generic indie rock... well there is now!


I'm not saying it's not good, especially if you really enjoyed their other stuff. I would give this one at least 2-3 runs on the old Walkman.

You, yourself and infrared seasoning

Red Hot Chili Peppers new album "I'm with you" has Josh Klinghoffer filling the big shoes of John Frusciante whose music has brought him to "different directions" (pointing away from RHCP).

Kiedis still sounds like a careless Californian and subsequently, critics may critique the lack of musical evolution. Still there is the odd surprise to put in your pipe. Go for it!

Submerged British Humor

The Britons can make anyone laugh. This movie, "Submarine", however, is more of an American movie where people speak with an English accent. This could partially be explained by the disclaimer "Ben Stiller Presents" on top of the movie box. If he had as much to do in this one as he had with "Greenberg" then I am not surprised.

I guess you could watch this one, a movie about selfish boy who finds happiness in the end. Why not, right?

Solar location unknown

Probably the greatest Swedish singing band of latter years; Kent, have released "En plats i solen" and I had great expectations! But alas, it does not really fly anymore. Ever since "Tillbaka till samtiden" the band has gotten progressively mediocre. Unfortunately.

Maybe I'll give this one a run through again, but I predict that Joakim Berg will soon embark on a solo carrier to try and find that sound of his again...

Hurting lyrics by happiness... Li

Second and better album by Lykke Li Timotej Zachrisson called "Wounded Rhymes" beats the first one "Youth Novels" by miles and miles. From song one you can tell she improved the style and started to make great music.

Let us look forward to the next album, hopefully as innovative and catchy as this one. Check it out! "Silent My Song" and "Youth knows no pain" should be heard!

Broken albino sperm whale

Moby's latest release "Destroyed" sounds totally like Moby, so if you like him... Honestly, the album grows on you and 15 songs for almost 72 minutes by this Juggernaut? It will put you in your place fo'sho'.

If you like beats and rhythm, check out "After":
