The guys at Bad Lip Reading have done it again, taking that vacuous, candy-coated pop group known as One Direction and giving them the treatment their nauseating music deserves: a remix, but this time with a twist. They’ve created the trailer for their first foreign language feature film, and it’s genius.

I came across this band thanks to NPR Tiny Desk concerts, which are awesome. They are a Canadian band from Ontario built around singer and songwriter Tony Dekker. And, wow, this guy has a great voice. This video is a three-song set which includes Everything is Moving So Fast, Pulling on a Line and Various [...]

I probably met Shakey Graves in a divey venue in Los Angeles with a few people in it, but I can’t be sure. It seems the most likely. Needless to say, I was an instant fan of his music. Totally lo-fi, unique and undeniably badass. A great live show and a swell fella.

Ever since it opened back in 2000, ABICUS has been my favourite store. Run by husband and wife duo Tim McPhee (yes, of Firekites fame) and Tiffany Minell, ABICUS brings the best of fashion and music together and serves it up on a shiny slab of amazingly polished concrete. We caught up with Tiff to [...]

Actress is probably my favourite producer of recent times. He’s a British music-maker who does that thing we all want to do but few of us actually can do and that is take the listener out of the real world and put she or he somewhere they’ve never been before. He’s a creator of atmospherics [...]

‘Woah!’ That was the exact thought that popped into my mind when I heard the first sequences of John Grant’s Pale Green Ghosts. Definitely not the type of music you would expect from the former frontman of the Czars, but ingenious all the same. Pale Green Ghosts could best be filed as dark minimal electronica, [...]

I first discovered Karen Dalton through a friend and she features in the Bob Dylan autobiography, ‘Chronicles’, where Dylan says she had ‘a voice like Billie Holiday and played guitar like Jimmy Reed’. This clip is taken from a French TV show at her then home in Summerville, Colorado, in 1970. She struggled with addiction [...]

My favourite album of recent years is In Dust by Roll The Dice. It’s an electro-acoustic affair full of piano, heavy bass, ear-pleasing effects and space. Gently emotive, it makes aimless, middle-of-the-night driving feel like bathtime.

DJ Hiatus and Shura from London have done it again. They just released another of those lovely chill-out tunes that make you immediately switch into groovy relax-mode, the right kind of tune for any roadtrip. The track is accompanied by an equally enchanting stop-motion video directed by Tom Jobbins: Who would have thought that you [...]

Do you ever feel like your self-indulgent tendencies often plunge you into a dark and strange world of non-social music listening? You know it’s happening when you constantly find yourself, headphones fixed nicely, listening to a range of usually not so socially acceptable tunes. Maybe it’s Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Shania Twain or a continuous [...]

Sad news came through recently with the death of Jason Molina, frontman for Songs: Ohia and the Magnolia Electric Co. Molina, a gifted songwriter and lyricist, had endured a lengthy battle with alcoholism and died on March 16 aged 39. This song is a touching reminder of the depth of his music.

As the story goes for California-based DKNG Studios, one day they were at SXSW when “a guy walked into our booth and asked if we would be interested in doing a poster for his band.” The band turned out to be The Black Keys, DKNG said yes, and they’ve also made this sweet making-of video [...]
