Brightest Young Things


So, sure, we won't hear any new songs from the Kills anytime soon, but the blogs have been a buzzin' with music and information that you are just hoping someone would aggregate every once in a while for you. And every once in a while, I actually have time to do so. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the magic carpet ride:

(FREE) MP3s!!!!!!

  • Via Discobelle: (Delorean's) “Deli” is one of the most beautiful, adolescent masterpieces you will have had the pleasure of hearing since “If I Ever Feel Better”. A rush to the street, under the sun, in the hope to find at the deli, enough to sustain a whole life of unconscious promises…” Get MP3 here.
  • Via Gorillavs.Bear: Chaz Bundick's side project Les Sins, makes blissful, shimmering disco-house jams that are pulsating and repetitive but also kind of dreamy Get the 2 MP3s here
  • via Pitchfork: You cannot not love Air France. Goteburg's fine pop outfit just gave out a loveletter in 3 parts called "GBG Belongs to us" (all Saint Etienne references seem to be purposeful, and in perfect timing with the Foxbase Alpha rerelease) Get it all here.
  • via Pasta Primavera: On Post War Years: this is some pretty fantastic music that blends analog electronics with an almost jazz fusion beat, then coming together in a modern indie sort of way (complete with hand claps) Get MP3 for "You and Me Both" here.
  • via Subpop: that free sampler you keep hearing about: everything from Vetiver to Handsome Furs to Tiny Vipers, yours and free to get right here
  • via RockSellout:The original frontman for new-wave legends The Stranglers, Hugh Cornwell, has made his new album free for your downloading pleasure! Get the whole thing here
  • via JDUB Blog New Modest Mouse. Nuff said. Get it here.

  • Oxford collapse breaks up (via stereogum)
  • While Courtney Love revives Hole (via same source)
  • Radiohead/Wilco/Johnny Marr album details have been announced. All of indie music obsessively starts awaiting August 10th. (via NME)
  • Evanescence and some girl from American Idol join forces. All of indie music does not know whether not to care or be afraid. Regardless-hide your impressionable teenagers. This is not what angst is supposed to sound like. (via musicnews.net)
