Scheduled are Jay-Z, M.I.A., The Raconteurs, and a bunch of other awesome acts, including about 40 Polish bands (among them one of my favorites, *MYSLOVITZ). If you feel [...]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF8lcGoS9Yc]  Artist: Bomb the Bass feat. Fujiya & Miyagi Track: “Butterfingers” Album: Future Chaos I guess this is more a videooftheweek rather than song (though the song is not bad…). Bomb The Bass, or more specifically, Tim Simenon, is an English dance and electronica DJ on Electric Tones (his own Amsterdam based label). His 7th [...]

Bjork’s New 3-D Video for “Wanderlust”

Bjork’s new Encyclopedia Pictura directed video for Volta’s “Wanderlust.” Oh, and you may need some 3-D glasses. Sick.

Album Review: The Helio Sequence Keep Your Eyes Ahead

8 Helio Sequence’s 4th LP is a welcomed shift from their earlier records. Singer Brandon Summers apparently blew his voice out and had to re-learn how to sing, and it did wonders for the band’s overall sound (and you can clearly hear that his entire vocal approach has changed from 2004′s Love and Distance).

Electrosound Mash-Ups

Just came across the site for Electrosound, a mash-up DJ from Besançon (Northeaster France). He has a ton of free MP3′s of his mash-ups, including Britney vs Nirvana “Gimme More Teen Spirit,” Justin Timberlake vs Daft Punk “Around the Sexy Back,” and Lady Sovereign vs Gorillaz “Love Me or Dare Me.” Fun.

My Muxtape?

Apparently so.

My Poproks Most Annoying Hip Hop Song of 2008 Q1

Soulja Boy – Yahhh! [new]by kenjiiro Last year’s list was pretty extensive, but let’s just make it official now. Of course, you know I kinda dig the “Low” song because I rock them Reeboks with the strap. So that’s out. Most annoying human being of 2008 Q1? YAAAAAAH!!!

My Poproks 10 Best Albums of 2008 Q1

You’ll notice my #1 (ehem, ugh. Oh God, sorry, I love it), and also #3 (I vowed that the Kate Nash album would count for 2008 according to My Poproks). And still on the fence as to whether Maths + English will count for ’08 as well, but it isn’t out officially in the US [...]
