“I let them dress me up in other people’s clothes / But you still don’t wanna know,” sings Juliana Hatfield during “Invisible,” the melodious opening track to The Juliana Hatfield Three’s sophomore release Whatever, My Love. The other two of the three are drummer Todd Philips, and bassist Dean Fisher. And if this album hasn’t…

Janine and The Mixtape, otherwise known as Janine Foster, has been releasing a track per week for nearly two months now, “Lose My Mind” being this week’s fine edition, which comes not merely as a Soundcloud file but as a video as well.

Another year, another fantastic Record Store Day release by Garbage. This time around it’s “The Chemicals,” which features Brian Aubert of Silversun Pickups. But don’t expect it to sound like Silversun Pickups because it really doesn’t. At all.

“It’s all good with me if I know it’s all good with you,” sings The Wombats’ frontman Matthew Murphy during “Pink Lemonade,” just one of many fun songs from their infectious new album, Glitterbug.

To that end, it is a wonderful come down song. Somewhat hyperactive, but its anxious beats aren’t too punchy, just lively enough to command your attention.

This one is so good my jaw dropped the first time I listened to it. I’ve now listened to it three times in a row and I’m still in awe of how superb it is. Which shouldn’t surprise me because Todd Terry and Armand Van Helden have been two of my favorite remixers since back…

Armed with just the guitar and the sound of Chris Chu’s voice, POP ETC deliver an inspired cover of Tom Petty’s classic “I Won’t Back Down.” Their rendition is true to the original but there’s a different vibe about it just the same with Chu delivering more of a pop vocal and singing the chorus…
