Urban Outfitters

RIP Buddy Miles

Some more homework for those you who never gave this band a listen. Here’s Jimi in one of his best incarnations...Band Of Gypsys...with Buddy Miles on the drumkit and vocals.

The Ting Tings - Great DJ

You will be humming this chorus when you’re scrounging through the darkest recesses of your refrigerator. Trust us.

Cut Copy - Lights & Music

Pure pop dreaminess...can’t wait for their new CD...comes out end of March.

Swervedriver - Blowin' Cool (live)

Hittin' you up with a Shoegaze doubleshot.

Ride - Vapour Trail

Part 2 of the Doubleshot!

Jump-steelo

You don’t ever wanna mess with one of those neighborhood jump-style mobs. 

JB Gets Down

The Godfather shows off some of his dance steps. Solid gold soul.

Easy Skanking

This guy is doing the “Urban Outfitters just redesigned their website” jig. For real though, go see Rockers if you haven’t already.

Crystal Castles - Air War

Ice cream heads. Enough said.

Vampire Weekend - A-Punk

These guys are definitely getting some shine. Fun vid....look for their CD on Jan 29.

Radiohead - Scotch Mist

We know everyone’s seen this, but it’s gotta been seen again. Another reason why these guys rule at most everything they do. Radiohead make us feel like they’re our friends. 

The Smiths - This Charming Man

Part 5 of the “Bedrock of Indie Rock” series: Not much to say here. If you don’t know, you better ask someone.

Kid Sister - Pro Nails

"She got her toes done up with her fingernails matchin”. Dope.

Cherry Chocolate Rain

Ridickalous.

Tecktonik

We’ve already posted about our love for Yelle but what we want to know is if people are really gonna give Tecktonik room on the dancefloor

British Whale rulezzz…

Justin Hawkins broke free from The Darkness only to find the light with his new project British Whale, which is simply another level of true awesomeness. This cover of the Sparks hit “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us” is off the dartboard.

Hüsker Dü - Could You Be The One?

Part 4 of the “You Don’t Know? You Better Axe Someone” series: Hüsker Dü purists will probably cry foul saying New Day Rising is what you want to listen to but we like the sugary hooks and cleaner production of “Could You Be The One?” off of 1986’s Warehouse: Songs and Stories.

Secondhand Sureshots

Currently in production, this documentary film by the dublab.com creative collective is an experiment in sound recycling. Secondhand Sureshots follows four amazing, LA-based beat makers (Daedelus, J-Rocc, Nobody and Ras G) on a secret mission to create new musical magic from the dusty remains of thrift store vinyl armed with only $10 and their minds.

David “Ram Jam” Rodigan

One of the best soundsystem selectas out there...we can’t help to think of our high school shop teacher whenever we see Papa Rodigan mash up the dance.

Rollerskate Skinny - Speed To My Side

So said a young Holden Caulfield, “She’s quite skinny, like me, but nice skinny, rollerskate skinny.”
