Shades & Diabolical Bells




Can you hear it? The diabolical bells are calling your name! Don't blame us if these new tracks get you in the mood for a lil' somethin'-somethin'! Enjoy!

The Listing
Annie - My Love Is Better [We're getting a 90's/10's mash-up vibe and we like it! Annie is back on top.]
The Bravery - I Am Your Skin [The 2nd release from their Dec. album. Classic Bravery, plays like an old friend.]
White Rabbits - Percussion Gun [Call in the militia! The spellbinding guitar melodies,  courageously persistent drumline, and a good smack on the ass. All in a day's work.]
Vampire Weekend - Cousins [It's no Mansford Roof but after a few listens we were fans and now thoroughly appreciate another smartly crafted song from V.W.]
Puscifer - The Mission (M is for Milla Mix) [This song is what Dadaism would sound like. Odd but oddly enjoyable.]
Dragonette - Stupid Grin [Embracing her electronic roots - a true electronic song with pop-rock lyrics, and by golly, it works! Also check out Liar from the same album 'Fixin to Thrill']

The Defroster


Turn up the heat with these new tracks in today's The Listing.

The Listing
Snow Patrol - Just Say Yes [Snow Patrol goes a little electropop. A very smart move.]
Basement Jaxx (feat. Sam Sparro) - Feeling's Gone [Spacetasia warms up with this song. Sparro & BJ make for a fantastic, gapless collab]
Charlie Winston - Kick the Bucket [For more Charlie Winston, check out "I Book, You Book" and Charlie's MySpace]
Seawolf - The Violet Hour [From the New Moon soundtrack. We swear it's a fantastic single. We swear.]
Vitalic - Poison Lips [The Video says it all - unusually interesting]
Van She - Kelly [A go-to for the past few years. We're shocked a song with such flawless hooks hadn't snagged the U.S.]

And to really warm things up, check out this ridiculously brillant 'Vive la Recession' flask - The New Museum Store

Wannabe


From the South Bay to the Valley
From the Westside to the Eastside
Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time

After an endless sifting through songs, we've come across a few that all have something to do with or remind us of LA and hopefully are fresh to your ears. Take it easy, pour yourself some pinot, and enjoy!

The Listing
Eagles of Death Metal - Wannabe in LA [the glorious video @ the end of this post]
Jet - She's a Genius [While recording in LA, the band lived in Brentwood and partied hard in Hollywoodland]
Rilo Kiley - Silver Lining [Some country twang about the twats who move to LA]
Gin Wigmore - Oh My [Twenty & in Hollywood]
Ya Boy - We Run LA (ft. Dr. Hollywood) - [We mean... It is catchy though]
Miike Snow - Silvia [Early morning on PCH]
Passion Pit - Little Secrets [...they're everywhere. Welcome to LA]



Paris Deux


A cautionary tale better told en Paris. Today's The Listing has a bite to it, some frost for you.

The Listing

Chasing Jones



Chase & Status. Norah Jones. We know what you're thinking - different genres, voices, aesthetic. But recent events (ie. new singles) show these two acts may just be more closely related than you'd think. While Chase & Status' lyrics on their newest single "End Credits" can be considered an existential outlook on life and our vast minds -their deepest insight, musically speaking, to date- the song's rhythm and calming crawl is very much akin to Jones' newest "Chasing Pirates" -  similarly about how the mind can ponder and sprint sometimes too much for our own good. Wanna know how to stop it? Check out these tracks. It's a complicated match but it'll make sense to your ears.

Enjoy Parts I & II of today's Song to Love.

Song to Love - Part I
Chase & Status - End Credits (Feat. Plan B)

Song to Love - Part II
Norah Jones - Chasing Pirates
