Robyn – “Indestructable” (A-Trak Remix) (MP3)

I feared A-Trak’s remix of “Indestructable,” his being a style embraced far more by “bro” than “homo” culture. I could hear the stuttering bounce-step in my mind before I even hit play, and while I’ve been known to drop his Kanye remixes to kick a bored crowd into gear, I didn’t want him messing with Robyn’s pop perfection.

The Suzan – Golden Week for the Poco Poco Beat (Review) (Review)

The Suzan

Golden Week for the Poco Poco Beat

Released by Fool's Gold


From the time that Shonen Knife were drafted by uberfan Kurt Cobain as Nirvana’s opening act, the term “Japanese all-girl rock band” has evoked a very specific image and sound for American music listeners.  The so-called “Osaka Ramones” were the personification of all things cutesy in Japanese culture.  Their bright, matching outfits, affinity for album art that looks like it was taken straight from any nine-year-old’s stationary, and whimsically nonsensical lyrics were perfectly matched with their sugar-coated three-chord power riffs to give American audiences the impression that the Japanese ...

Duck Sauce “Barbara Streisand” (Video)

OK, we get it. Everyone hangs out in New York and gets crazy super fly with models and talk boxes and high-top fades.
