Supreme Balloon
Mon, 12 May 2008 06:39:22
If R2D2, Luke Skywalker's and C3PO's trusty sidekick from Star Wars, made a techno record for toddlers, it would most definitely resemble Matmos's Supreme Balloon. This record sounds like an Atari video game that's overdosed on a corrosive concoction of crack, blips, beeps, bells, whistles and the ... more

Mudcrutch
Wed, 07 May 2008 07:14:10
Mudcrutch offers more nostalgia for Tom Petty fans than it does detours for the iconic frontman of the Heartbreakers. The eponymous album is a collection of tracks dating back as far as the outfit's inception in Gainesville, FL, in 1970, as well as a few new nuggets written to round out the release, ...more

Marié Digby is just one of the many to cover Rihanna's ubiquitous romp, "Umbrella" [watch video here]. Her version, acoustic and far less bombastic than the original, became a YouTube sensation last summer, suddenly garnering the 25-year-old brunette a legion of rabid listeners all across ...more

Weezy watch out!You may have some serious competition emerging from the swamps of good ole Louisiana. It's unlikely that anyone will unseat the current "King of the Game," nevertheless, it's worth a shot. Enter Max Minelli. The erstwhile Southern rapper has been at it for over 15 years, but he's ...more
Hard Candy
Fri, 02 May 2008 10:05:24
Madonna sure has her well-manicured finger on the pulse of musical trends. At this point in her storied career, Madge is keeping up with what's current in dance music and then putting her own spin on it. Hard Candy is a dance-pop record, as we have come to expect from Madonna, but it's also her most ...more
If
Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:28:56
Mindless Self Indulgence have made their Masterpiece with IF. All of the classic MSI elements have been turned up to 666, and there's no turning back. IF is chock full of infectious electro, trip-punk that has no business being this catchy, but it is. Spastic riffs crescendo into cracked out ...more
Saturdays=Youth
Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:12:42
M83's mastermind Anthony Gonzalez has finally found a muse that's worthy of his immense creativity: youth. Now, we're talking youth in the sense of whimsical '80s films, where the protagonists experiment, grow up, learn and change over the course of a weekend. It's those idyllic Saturdays of ...more
Rabbit Habits
Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:56:20
The sheer speed and energy on Rabbit Habbits will come as no surprise to fans of Man Man's 2006 LP, Six Demon Bag. Man Man are back with the same rambunctious vocal force and outrageous honky-tonk stylings; this time with even fewer moments of reflection—and that is meant in the best possible ...more
E=MC2
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 07:39:58
Mariah Carey shoots and scores with E=MC2.
The high octave siren has endured her share of ups and downs over the course of her best-selling career. How can we forget her "breakdown" and the mess that was Glitter? We haven't forgotten, but we certainly can forgive, thanks to E=MC2, which ...more
Unbreakable
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:55:05
Take a listen to some of the hallmarks of My Children, My Bride's Unbreakable: moshtastic breakdowns, machine gun drumbeats, barely bipedal, knuckle-dragger riffing, and robust, communal singalongs. This type of music, with its full-bore aural assault, has reached its point of saturation, and My ...more
