WatchLoyal Divide - Otto
Loyal Divide is a Chicago based band, originally from Columbus, Ohio. They are masters of layering electronica, base, groove and punk to create a completely new youthful sound. Their full-length debut album, ‘Bodice Ripper’ deserves better treatment than a mere mention and I shall cover it shortly.
The song of the day is Otto, a single they’ve made in collaboration...

Metallica : The Outlaw Torn
The Outlaw Torn by Metallica on Grooveshark
This is the last song of their album Load Released in 96 , a come back after the groovy/crunchy/ heavy (22 million copy selling) Black Album that came out in 91. Ah but then 91 was the year when Nevermind (Nirvana) changed the map of how guitar music would be made (said with fanboy tone).
Quite possible that...

WatchSpitzer - Odessa (Spring Version)
Spitzer is a duo of brothers from Lyon, France, they have no pretense, no showing off, just pure beautiful minimal sound. Their music is catchy and a little reminiscent of 80s techno which has gone through a lot of refinement.
A bit of background, they used to have a powerful 90s electric guitar, indie rock sound and long hair , which give way to cold...

Watch Young folks - Peter Bjorn and John
Yeah! I know what you’re thinking. I’ve gone emo. Me and pop do not really mix well together, but, this song, this song just makes me incredibly jumpy. It has the nice Indy music wibe and the girl+boy vocalist thing going for it. Do you sometimes not see yourself as the old man? Who cannot figure out how to use the universal remote? Watching...

Fun Lovin’ Criminals - Run Daddy Run Sometime in the early 90s Pulp met Italian Mafia in a Black neighborhood, shook hands and rolled a joint. Fun Lovin’ Criminals (FLC) was a fresh breeze that blew across your face and ruffled your hair a bit and went away without moving that newspaper in your hand. This would be what we call trip-hop now. One thing about 90s is that it was a time for...

Watch[ VLA ] - Carbon Based Lifeforms
VLA introduces great calmness and can be the music to induce deep thought or fall asleep to. It seems that for a long time there isn’t much happening, but, that I feel is the whole point of the exercise: to be able to capture serenity in it’s truest essence.
“VLA” (which stands for the Very Large Array radio astronomy observatory)...

WatchPhutureprimitive - Xotica
Xotica, has a bass line so filthy, it tastes like teenage sex on the garage floor on a hot summer day, punctuated with lush melodies and vocals that complete the picture. This song is oozing out sex appeal.
Kinetik is the much awaited second album of electronic artist Rain aka Phutureprimitive. Released in march 2011, Kinetik does not disappoint, even considering the...

WatchEntheogenic - Love letters to the soul
Probably the best lingashtakam (a shiv pooja) I’ve ever heard. The song is a crash course in psychill. It’s the first track, a half an hour tour de force on their new 2011 album: Gaia Sophia. Even though they have been around since 2002, I’ve not heard too much Entheogenic. I bough the album on impulse and boy was I happy that I did.

WatchChase - Son Lux
The song is the 6th song from the new Son Lux record We Are Rising. What stuck me most was his ability to use natural sounds with electronic sublimely. We Are Rising achieves what most people forget about music, its ability to take you on a journey. We Are Rising creates a mood and a performance.
The album grew out of a challenge by NPR asking Ryan Lott to record an entirely new...
