Considering I’ve spent the last two days listening to nothing but the Uptown Saturday Night collection from Time-Life, it’s safe to say even the most seasoned blogger hits low spots with new music. Ever the optimist, I’d like to believe there’s music out there that’s flying below the MGMT/Vampire Weekend level on the radar. Here’s where you come in, our clever comment section. Have at it…tell us what’s out there that we’re missing. I might not give up the eighteen discs of Uptown Saturday Night, but a little variety would be nice. Just don’t try to sell me on El Guincho, for pete’s sake.

Dallas Orbiter from Minneapolis. Fantastic stuff, sort of Explosions in the Sky-like psychedelic rock.
Ok, here’s a few more that haven’t been mentioned. There’s loads of great new stuff that I’ve been keeping on heavy rotation. Blitz ‘n Ass by Jahcoozi is my fave of the moment. And they’re proof that you can judge a book by its cover (best album cover ever)

The new Bugged Out! Presents Suck My Deck by Boys Noize is pretty hot as well. The couple of new Fischerspooner tracks that I’ve heard hopefully means that their new one is going to be good. The Glimmers have a new one called Are Gee Gee Fazzi is good, One by Ida Corr is some pretty good pop, there’s X Marks Destination by The Whip thats good, a new one from Cut Copy that I like and a new Junkie XL thats good called Boomin Back At You. There’s plenty more that I can recommend like Coburn, the new B-52’s and Atomic Hooligan. Needless to say I’ve been doing lots of exploring lately…

Today I heard Mugison for the first time and it kinda blew my mind. Someone told me it was “face-melting,” so I was expecting serious thrash, but instead it was rock and metal and blues and pop all muddled together in a way I’ve never heard and didn’t remotely expect. So, basically, it’s impossible to describe. There’s a reason he’s “platinum in Iceland” … he’s got a new album coming out (hopefully) in the US later this year called Mugiboogie. It’s damn good.
DJ Vibe from portugal is the best DJ of 2008.
well besides derrick carter I mean
@kisskisskiss:
I suppose I’m being extremely optimistic about that Fischerspooner “Danse en France” because they’re on Kitsuné now and I’ve yet to be disappointed by any release from that label. The remix is better than the original.
@NickEddy: YES YES YES!!!
god earl brutus were so good, their live show was TEH AWESOME also.
apart from listening to lots of v*mp*re w**kend and a pretty random set of croatians (for the Euro Pop Cup: [freakytrigger.co.uk]) the best thing i’ve heard recently is 30 year old brit-folk from Bridget St John, the cherry red rerelease of Thank you for… [www.cherryred.co.uk] has an awesome live set from some french folk festival on it…
Upcoming Long Blondes disco songs on Couples album!
also, dudes, these are all great tips, hopefully i’ll get some time to check them out (the scottish pirate metal in partic.)
