Frenchie Love: Jamaica “I Think I Like U 2″
The French are putting us to shame in the American-invented arena of rock videos. Is this dearth of creative energies due to the demise of MTV? Or is it due to dwindling indie label budgets? Either way, I blame Jerry Lewis. The latest examples in this disturbing trend are Hold Your Horses’ 70 Million video [...] -

First Taste: Glass Candy “Feeling Without Touching”
Ida No knows that abstinence is the only form of birth control that is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. No IS her surname (her middle name is Said – Ida Said No… to sex… OK too corny – got the memo). Or maybe it’s about tantric sex? One thing is certain; there is something déjà [...] -
New Album Alert – Hole “Nobody’s Daughter” Album Art And Track List

Now, kiddies, let’s sit back and watch to see how effective C. Love’s public Facebook apology worked at softening the [...] -
Ezra Koenig On WNYC Talking About Music And Literature
+ = Ever wonder why Vampi Weeker’s lyrics evoke such vivid imagery. We are willing to bet that it has something to do with Ezra Koenig’s stint as a creative writing major at Columbia University. Listen to WYNC‘s recording of Ezra Koenig and novelist John Wray trading bon mots in a sit-down pow-wow at The [...] -

Warpaint Interview
The wonderful wiccan wood nymphs that make up Warpaint like to think of their music as “the byproduct of a democratic process.” I like to think of it as the perfect soundtrack for a virgin sacrifice. Kidding! TMAPs loves us some Warpaint. Enjoy All Our Noise‘s interview with the L.A. quartet featuring live performances (spotlight [...] -
Carpe PM “Affection Affliction”
All-around noteworthy nightlifer, DJ Jess, anointed “Best DJ in NYC” by The L Magazine and Citysearch.com, has released a new track with his indie dance outfit Carpe PM. The single, Affection Affliction, is equal parts Depeche Mode and New Order with a dash of the balefulness that makes Morrissey – well Morrissey. It screams “you [...] -
Karen Elson “Stolen Roses”
So Jack White has somehow transformed his British supermodel wifey into the next Loretta Lynn – abracadabra. Homegirl sounds like she’s been singing along with “Coal Miner’s Daughter” all her live-long life instead of settling in for “a cuppa” promptly at 4:00 pm. Enjoy Karen’s newest acapella offering, “Stolen Roses,” below and her proposed album [...] -
Covers – Jónsi Does MGMT’s “Time To Pretend”
In more loosely-related MGMT news, listen to Jónsi’s (Sigur Rós) heart-wrenching rendition of “Time to Pretend.” It’s as cathartic and mellowing as a blood letting – making it the perfect accompaniment to Monday’s much needed glass o’whiskey.

New Album Alert – MGMT “Congratulations”- Entire Album Live Streaming Now
Listen to MGMT’s latest album Congratulations in its entirety here. To say that it is a departure from Oracular Spectacular would be a sensational understatement. Congratulations is marked by a groovy 60′s fuzz-ridden vibe punctuated by vocal deliveries reminiscent of Freddie Mercury and Andy Gibb. Thankfully, their abstruse lyrical style remains intact. I am stuck [...] -
TMAP INTERVIEW: Javelin
Javelin, the überkool electroband that counts David Byrne amongst its admirers and the MoMA as a previously played concert venue, is about to embark on a whirlwind tour with Yeasayer.

Juliette Lewis And The New Romantiques Video “Uh Huh”

Live Review: Warpaint At Music Hall Of Williamsburg 03/03/10
Though they were Akron/Family’s opening act, the queenly quartet that is Warpaint played to a crowd of their own hard-won loyal subjects last Wednesday at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Evidence of this was the crust of barely legal teenage boys adhering to the front of the stage like barnacles hoping against hope that their favorite [...]
