Dj FrequenciesFew indy EPs, or complete albums for that matter, make an impression on me as Surf City’s self titled EP has. It was released late last year but I only discovered it a few weeks ago. The opening track “Headin’ Inside” begins with classic, early 60’s, southern Cal guitar pickin (though the band calls the other […]
Two of my fav rock icons, Jack White (The White Stripes, Raconteurs) and Alison Mosshart (the Kills), have formed a new group, The Dead Weather. If Jack on drums and vocals and Alison on vocals wasn’t enough…they also have Queens of the Stone Age’s Dean Fertita on guitar, and the Raconteurs’ Jack Lawrence on bass. […]
Musicians and brands alike need to pay attention to Nine Inch Nails…they, Trent Reznor and Rob Sheridan creative NIN masterminds, really know how to create a user/fan experience. They hit the nail on the head when they created the new nin.com 2.o with deep user community interaction with remixes, photos, videos, forums and more. They’ve […]
Lovin the new track from Eels, “Fresh Blood” from Hombre Lobo out early June. The band’s first album in four years should turn out to be a real teeth sharpener…the albums title literally translates to “werewolf.” Check out the new track @ myspace.com/eels

So far it’s shaping up to be a good memorial day weekend in the motor city, at least for electronic music’s sake. God knows the city need a little uplifting. In typical Movement rosters (namely since Paxahau took over operations) the lineup includes a good […]
A new Marilyn Manson track “We’re From America” from the upcoming album The High End of Low (Due Out: 5/26/09) has surfaced and it’s yours for free; well as long as you care to share your email address and verify you’re at least 13 years of age. Not sure who out there decided 13 is the age you can […]
Some more free tracks from SXSW 2009 titled Tomorrow’s Stars From Sxsw. Quite pretentious, though probably true…if your looking for mainstream radio-play crap. Sorry but, nothing stood out for me in this sampler and to me, its not worth the price. There may be a track or two that reminds you of your old girlfriend…if you’re […]
After originally being stooped into thinking a new Massive Attack album was gonna hit the shelves all the way back in 2007, I’ve nearly lost interest over the much anticipated release from one of my top all-inspiring bands. They have now scheduled a tentative release date of Septemberish 2009er…but don’t hold yr breath…unless asphyxiation is yr thing.
