2009 July | MixBurner

Well, I decided to continue on with this series. Here is Part III. Part I and Part II can be found below. I don’t have a lot more to say than what I have already said in the previous posts. The 80′s were an undeniable, fantastic time for music and have left an unbelievable impression on the music world of today. If you aren’t…

For those who haven’t heard of them, Monsters of Folk are an indie supergroup consisting of M.Ward, Conor Oberst, Jim James and Mike Mogis.

Arctic Monkeys – Crying Lightning

The Arctic Monkey’s album ‘Humbug’ has leaked onto the internets. I guess it was inevitable but I didn’t expect it nearly a month before its release date! (24th August)

I’ve been listening to it and it’s pretty damn good. Definitely on par with their previous two albums. I will review it laters.

Way back in 2006, three years ago, I did a series of posts on Rare Hits Of The 80′s. I can’t believe it’s been that long. The 80′s represent to me a fantastic time for music and a landmark that people still reference today. Without the influence of the 80′s we wouldn’t have the music we listen to today. That…

Kid Sister – Right Hand Hi

Man, I’m a bit LTTP (Late to the Party) on Kid Sister, ‘Pro Nails’ her 2008 single featuring Mr. Kanye West totally passed me by, but I must say she has some goddamn catchy songs. I also must say that this isn’t high quality hip-hop with great lyrics and whatnot, but I don’t care because it’s just so catchy. :)

I recently found out she is going out with the DJ A-trak and…

That’s Duck Sauce talking about Duck Sauce.

For those of you who have no idea who Duck Sauce is, let me enlighten you. A-trak had a little remix project going on, trying to create some 90s-esque Armand Van Helden-style tracks. When what do you know, but Armand Van Helden himself teams up with A-trak to create some sick tunes.

So far they’ve created two tracks, one called ‘aNYway’ and the other called ‘You’re Nasty’. aNYway…

You may have already heard of Dan Black, be that through his solo work or when he was part of the band The Servant which broke up in 2007.

Since then Dan Black has begun a solo career in electronica/pop and he gained recognition for his song ‘HYPNTZ’ which I guess you would call a mash-up of Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ and Notorious B.I.G.’s ‘Hypnotize’. I’ve been following his stuff for a while now and he just released…

CALLmeKAT – Do Your Trick

CALLmeKAT – Flower In The Night

vocal electronica // experimental pop

Katrine Ottosen’s album Fall Down (2008) is a debut that should not be left unnoticed despite the flood of DYI Indie artists. The Copenhagen-based musician who records under the name CALLmeKAT takes the listener with a distinctly Scandinavian sound: melancholic, floating and intense. Fall Down shifts between the experimental and the somewhat urban dream-pop, recalling the fragility of Stina Nordenstam and the edgy mysterious soundscapes of such…
