Introducing a slice of soul from Down Under

Before I get into who this soul sister pictured above is, let me briefly introduce myself. Whilst living in Mexico at the beginning of 2008, I was scouring the net for info on SXSW parties to attend and stumbled across The Couch Sessions and LOVED the site. Stone and I then began exchanging party info [...]

New Music: The Drums

The Drums are a new band from Brooklyn, by way of Florida, who sound like they were plucked off a sunny California beach circa 1953. The four fresh-faced NYC transplants, led by childhood best friends Jonathan Pierce and Jacob Graham, are getting some serious buzz right now. They’ve have become my latest obsession too, thanks [...]

New Video: M.I.A. “Theres Space For Ol Dat I See”

Just peeped this on a friend’s Facebook page. Apparently M.I.A. dropped it on Twitter. It’s a video for a new track called “Theres Space For Ol Dat I See”, though I’m not sure if it’s from an upcoming album or not. The visuals are pretty trippy and the song is slow…like “end of the night [...]

New Music: Tinie Tempah

My friend Inie over in London sent me this video that friends of his over at us (design studios) worked on. It’s from a new London rapper named Tinie Tempah for his song “Pass Out”. While I’m not sure how I feel about his braggadocious style, he is very clever with his lyrics (my favorite [...]

New Music: Tinashé

My girl Amelia over at Put Me On It just hipped me to a new artist (well for me at any rate) from London (of course) named Tinashe. The stylish singer/songwriter/producer is definitely an artist to watch for 2010. He has upcoming performances at some of London’s best venues and has already been featured on [...]

New Music (Video): Lazerbitch’s “Coquette”

Baltimore’s Lazerbitch is all about making big moves these days. Fronted by dynamic disco diva ingenue Libby Picken with backing by “Mad Max” Maxwell Houston, the group’s latest single, “Coquette” has hit Beatport and iTunes, and may indeed be their best work to date. A disco electro mash, the classically trained Picken coos sweetly over [...]

Who Is Wallpaper?

*Handing in my late pass*
I came across this video in BoardsMag.com’s screening room and I’m not really sure what to make of it. Wallpaper is Eric “Ricky Reed” Frederic and Arjun Singh, a duo out of the Bay Area that I am just hearing about for the first time. Apparently they’ve been around for a [...]

New Music: Anjulie

A month or so ago, I was in line at Starbucks paying for my coffee, when I noticed the cover of singer Anjulie’s album. It’s colorful and eyecatching, and being the magpie that I am, I was instantly intrigued. However, not wanting to purchase a CD impulsively and then be disappointed, I decided to turn [...]

New Music: VV Brown “Game Over”

A lot of times when a new video comes out from an female artist I like, my first inclination is to look at her wardrobe and styling in the video. If it’s not that great, chances are I’m not going to like the video. Not so in the case of UK soulstress VV Brown’s new [...]

New Video: Amanda Blank “Might Like You Better”

I’m not the biggest Amanda Blank fan, even though I like a few tracks she’s been on…and I’m not saying that if her song came on in the club I’d stop dancing…I just am not really big on her. Still, I thought maybe watching her new video for her track “Might Like You Better” would [...]
