A fine recipe indeed, all a boy really needs/wants is the love of a great woman. The acceptance by those he admires, and the warmth of a great meal.
….but sometimes that’s not enough. And sometimes the downs are heavier than the highs.

Why we’re so happy:
1. This is the debut release from Big Stereo Records.
2. Big Stereo is one of our favorite blogs.
3. Travis that runs BigStereo is a lovely boy.
4. Mixes from previously endorsed and well, close to heart JOCKS, SEAMS and GOLDEN BUG are set to follow.
BIGSTEREO is proud to announce our brand new 7″ single series, and no better band to start out with than one of our favorites, Baby Monster. “She Comes Alive” is a treasure: synth washes come like waves, built around a soaring vocal that unveils brilliant production and the kind of pop nous that only comes around every so often.

What can we say, the man has FIIIINNEEE taste
1.Taken from the Arthur Russell tribute album Electric Minds, out now
2. The Justice track floating around the web is so clearly a fake. Seriously, do you really think the band would relaunch with a substandard piece of filler. Never.
3. This track is disco twist.
4. Memory Tapes are still buzzing like a spinning top.
5. I love the weird and wonky vocal on this track.
6. I have never kissed a red head. FACT.
7. Aleks from Disco Dust is 30. Happy Dirty one boyo.
Welcome to 2010 and the new of Drag. Here’s a new cat with rave reviews across all corners of the web and something we’re enjoying immensely. Eskmo has already received the endorsement of almost genius Flying Lotus and it’s worth downloading his mix for Brainfeeder right away. Enjoy.
File under dark hip hop inspired electronica.
This is a popjustice thing.
It’s Goldfrapp
Wonderful! Dropped into my inbox a few days ago AND NOBODY has yet posted. Awesome.
Encompassing all that Nite Jewel stand for with added deepness stolen from the world of disco but with a beautiful undertone of ambient. Perfect for late night evenings creating HTML godliness. Of the four tracks we’ve been sent - it’s tough to post just one, or even two as they’re all aces. Just about pipping it is:
Brusque Twins are from Montreal and go by the names of HH and DFJ. Metadata says: D George & H Hensman
MP3: Brusque Twins: Diptych
The genuine levels of excitement building around this band are no surprise around here. Big fans of all things Warpaint. Originally on Manimal Vinyl - now on Rough Trade. Awesomeness
88 Days fave Jon Hillcock put us onto this lot The Sticks this morning, and as sometime Brighton residents, interest piqued. We think a little of Let’s Wrestle’s early days, and of Cold Pumas, and between the latter and this lot, suddenly Brighton’s music scene doesn’t seem as BIMM as it perhaps once did. IT IS RIGHT TO GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE for xxjfg, Cold Pumas, The Sticks and the Freebutt.
The Sticks have a record out now on Upset The Rhythm, a stunning 20 tracks in 37 minutes. Recommended purchase.
Here’s a new podcast by Nite Jewel AKA Ramona. I found out about her through Dam-Funk, who thankfully introduced me to her music and to her as well. They’re now working on an album for Stones Throw, tentatively titled “Nite-Funk”. Turns out, she and her dude Cole (who plays in one of my favorite bands Haunted Graffiti) live down the street from me. I hang out with them from time to time and whenever we do, we nerd out on old records. I asked her to do a podcast of some of her favs, so here you go. Another one to get jealous of. Whaddup to 12ManRambo too.
Set list:
“Indian” - Baffo Banfi
“More More More” - Ray & His Court
“You Really Turn Me On” - Prophet
“War” - Bruce Haack
“Between Righteousness” - Ed N. “Sted
“I Pity Inanimate Objects” - Godley & Creme
“Remind Me” - Patrice Rushen
“Ba-benzele” - Brian Eno & Jon Hassell
“Superlady” - Jeff Phelps
“Piano Instrumental” - Joe Meek
“Siren Shallows” - Iasos
Stolen from Stones Throw because well, it’s easier to download from here than via iTunes etc - but hey - subscribe to their podcast!
