Architecture In Helsinki – Places Like This

I don't think there's any band that has as much fun as Architecture In Helsinki has. The six headed Australian indie pop group in known for their eclectic over-the-top feel-good musical style. Although I like their previous album In Case We Die more, Places Like This delivers more song ...

Aphex Twin Mashups & Pet Sounds

Some say mash-up artists are "talentless hacks", unrightfully that is. Technically every song can be mashed, but choosing the right theme and executing a good mash-up is as hard as mixing a good dj-set, and we don't call them talentless, do we? How ill is Aphex Twin with the beats? I've been ...

Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid – Tongues

I like a good percussion project from time to time, and did I love Post rock band Tortoise's Bumps project at Stonesthrow from a few months back. Time for something new, actually Tongues is not a new release either but I never really got a chance to listen to it closely. Kieran Hebden, ...

Múm – Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy

Múm is an Icelandic musical group which brings a very chaotic and unpredictable, yet melodic style of experimental electronica. This is Múm's first release after the departure of singer and founding member, Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir, to compensate the band added a couple to make it a 7 ...

Now that you're probably tired of these lists, here's mine. Am I the only one to deliberately wait until the year is over before starting this listmania frenzy? Maybe I just don't care about the ...

  Sufjan Stevens – All Delighted People EP
  
  With an album already announced (and an intriguing album cover), Stevens brings this stellar EP filled with bombast and typical Stevens folk. Listen to the whole thing down below.

  How To Dress Well – “Lover’s start”
  
  Highly anticipated lo-fi artist How To Dress Well brought this suiting footage of late great Belgian singer/songwriter Jacques Brel. It’s a climax in 1971 film Franz, but works just as well here.

  How to Dress Well, “Suicide Dreams 2 (Spirituals RMX)”
  I’m lovin the jazz infused electronica of Spirituals‘ debut a lot, but this cutting and stitching remix is glorious.

  Mark Ronson feat. Q-Tip and MNDR – “Bang Bang Bang”
  
  Even though retro is the new cool, I really enjoy the song and visuals. As Q-Tip says best “Keep it funky y’all”, as he does.

    A complete waste of time. Worst movie of the year so far.

  - The Boys Are Back (2009) 2.5/5

    It's a little easy to evoke emotion when almost a whole Sigur Rós album is playing in the background. Despite that, it's a good parenting film, but there just isn't anything in it for me.

  - Inception (2010) 4/5
    2010-07-30 20:37
    
    Astounding piece of imagination (and not forget sci-fi logic). Nolan is a master at creating suspense and never breaking away from that bomb-rushing moment. I do think it could have been beneficial if the movie was a half hour shorter or there was more character development, but I really was blown away.

  - Brooklyn's Finest (2009) 2/5

    "Training Day" director delivers in dark aesthetic but fails to give me any sort of drama or heartfelt emotion. Big talk with very little content.
