Not my favorite track off the album . . . but a good performance.

Sigur Ros on Gogoyoko music service

Something sigur rós care deeply about is fair play in music. here is georg talking about gogoyoko – a new online music store and social network where artists receive 100% of their sales revenue and a 40% cut of gogoyoko’s advertising revenue, based on the streaming of their music.

georg: “finally there is something that actually changes things, rather than just slightly … this is taking the concept a lot further”

The Simpsons reveal location of Springfield (kind of)

View Larger MapThis isn't music related, but I am posting anyway.

On last Sunday's episode of the Simpsons, Moe Letter Blues, the bartender Moe revealed that he moved to Springfield because on a calculator, the zipcode spelled "Boobs."  That means that Springfield is either in the zipcode 58008 or 80085.  Well, there is no 80085, but there is a 58008 - Barney, North Dakota.  Unfortunately, there is no nuclear plant or neighboring Shelbyville near Barney North Dakota.

Album Review - Ratatat - LP4

A quick few thoughts on Ratatat's upcoming LP4 [out June 8 on XL Recordings].  Their self-titled debut LP, Ratatat, was AMAZING.  Its its lead-off track, Seventeen Years [mp3], is still one of my all time favorite indie electronica tracks - hands down!  Classics had some good tracks, but LP3 kind of bored me.

LP4 combines a lot of the best elements of their previous 3 albums, reintroducing the heavy electric guitar edge that was too absent from LP3.  There are LOTS of new textures and sounds on this album as well.  If not for Seventeen Years, LP4 might be my favorite Ratatat album.  Well . . . maybe it will be in any case.


I will explain more in June, but for now here are some samples:
