Listen to a sample of The Great Gatsby Soundtrack

April 16th, 2013

I’ll admit – The Great Gatsby is going to have to include some horrifically offensive scene to stop me from naming it my favourite film of the year and I haven’t even seen it yet. Maybe it’s a bad idea to go into a movie already loving it. My obvious bias could easily prevent me [...]

It doesn’t get much more Pacific Northwest than this, guys. I caught acts like Jack White, Bon Iver, St. Vincent, Felix Cartal, and many, many more. [...]

The xx “Last Christmas (Wham! Cover)” (Stream)

December 17th, 2012

Christmas music is often the worst genre of music. Often just a quick cashgrab, original songs are either ignored to do the umpteenth version of “White Christmas” or some kinda unlistenable. One of the better originals written in the last 30 years is Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” which has become the victim of numerous covers. I [...]

The XX ” Chained (John Talabot & Pional Blinded Remix)” (Stream)

December 14th, 2012

John Talabot and Pional have been busy this year and now they have taken on The XX with “Chained”. This track is definitely a standout piece that is a bit more unobtrusive for a “dance” tune. The breathy vocals, instruments, and the synthesized beats are laid one element on top of each other. Combined the [...]

The xx go for a swim in their new video for “Chained”

October 15th, 2012

There’s something about The xx’s seductive slow jams that just goes hand in hand with slow motion imagery. The band’s new video for Chained combines the two into a beautifully-shot clip where all three members dive into the sea for a swim – in slow motion, of course. The song itself, a track off of [...]
