Puro Instinct’s 2011 debut Headbangers in Ecstasy was a dream pop record that washed over you like 65 degree sea water on a 95 degree day; refreshing, to say the least. In fact, I’ve heard countless dream pop records since and Headbangers is still my favorite. It just takes me away to some other, less…

Another shiny diamond from Bat For Lashes’ forthcoming album The Bride. I love it’s jumpy beats and its overall haunting vibe. It’s mesmerizing, really.

I love it when I randomly come across a wonderful song. I just stumbled upon Danelle’s “Numb” when it came on after something else I was listening to on Soundcloud. It’s a perfect electro-pop ballad if ever there was one. Oddly enough, it even has some trap-rap style percussion, although there’s no actual rapping during…

“Ibifornia” is the title track from Cassius’ first album in ten years, which will be released on June 24th; Ibifornia is an imaginary utopia that they have created on the album with lush, tropical melodies. A place “where the sun rises high and the horses run free,” as the song’s narrator says.

Aluna George’s latest, “My Blood,” is a slow-burning, steamy R&B masterpiece that will be perfect in a vampire movie someday soon.

As you can hear above, Sarah Jaffe has done an exceptional cover of the Old 97’s “The New Kid.” The track, which sports some great upright bass, is from the benefit album Desperate Times. The project consists of artists such as Ben Kweller, Polyphonic Spree, Hayes Carll, The O’s and others covering Old 97’s tracks…

If you like artsy, experimental pop then today’s #songoftheday should put a huge smile on your face. It delivers more sounds than one could possibly count, layers and layers of them, and it also shifts directions when you least expect it. A real artistic statement, not something even remotely aimed at the radio. All in…

Have I mentioned how happy I am that Kerli is making electro-pop again? Her dance music was great, sure, but her lyrics and voice fit electronic soundscapes better than club beats. At least that’s my opinion.

This is the first Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley collaboration in years. In over a decade, I believe. In any case, they still sound great together. More importantly, Ace can still fucking shred. His long solo here is fantastic. It’s no wonder there’s lots of smoke — the legend is on fire!

RAC has been one of my favorite remixers for ages now. His versions of Lana Del Rey’s “Blue Jeans” and Katy Perry’s “This is How We Do” are easily as good as the originals. His version of Foster The People’s “Houdini” is better than the original. I could go on and on. Well, now we…

You never know where you’ll find a good song. I went to Youtube to check out a video by a rapper a record label sent me the link for. Well, to be perfectly honest, it was rubbish. But then this one came on and immediately grabbed me. First, I was just impressed by Ruth B’s…
