the Deadly Syndrome

Ever since i saw them in San Luis Obispo, 2006, opening for (and far outshining) Hot Hot Heat, i have been smitten by their poetic lyrics and catchy tunes. What happened to HHH anyway?

Deadly Syndrome--Wolves in the Garden

How the Hell'd We Get Here?

Obsessed.

Nina Simone--Sinnerman (Felix Da Housecat Remix)

Au Revoir Simone--All or Nothing

I love this girls voice. They have a solid future if they can keep a unique sound.

Tantalizing work from visual legends Shynola, the thought put into this video is contagious. I thought it was all done on a computer until a recent interview with the guys said that it’s 100% illustrations. An incredible video for one of my favourite songs of the Coldplay album.

The Decemberists--The Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid

XXX

Been wanting to write about these chaps/chapese for a while. We had a scare a couple weeks ago when their pianist split off, thought we were gonna lose em. The xx released their self titled debut in August, crafting a sound that is whispy, futuristic, heroin induced, slow churning pop. Vocals are handled by both boy and girl in a quaint, romantic interchange without the lovey-dovey shit that you would expect. Quite the band...

The xx - Heart Skipped A Beat

Florence & The Machine – You’ve Got the Love (The XX Remix) (Renaissance Man Edit)
