  • Hot Damn Jammz 62: All Around the World Same Song

    It’s summertime here in the Midwestern United States but it’s winter in Australia, right? How’s everybody doing there — are you enjoying the snow and cold? Making sure to dress warmly and hang around with various brands of bears (as the Voltaire Twins do (see left))? Does it even snow in Australia? You can fit all we know about geography and global weather patterns into a tiny little box, but we do know a bit about the world of music! This week we’ve got electronic pop from Perth, indie-pop form London, garage-rock from Milwaukee, a surprisingly good pop singer from Sweden and a bunch more jammz from all over the place!

    Dominant Legs
    This boy-girl duo gives their summery indie-pop a boho feel with hand drums and flutes. Perfect for dancing barefoot in the grass!

    Summer Camp
    Another mixed-gender indie-pop duo, but these London kids like crunchy electronic beats and sweet early ’60s melodies. Perfect for doing the twist with a robot!

    Little Gold
    Warm ‘n’ fuzzy alt-country-pop with lyrics that are as sharp as they are heartfelt. Perfect for making eyes at a space cowboy or cowgirl!

    Voltaire Twins
    This synth-poptastic boy/girl duo is yet another amazingly good band from Australia. What the hell is going on down there?

    Sticks N Stones
    Get out of your room and into the garage! Milwaukee Sticks N Stones kick out hot, garage-punk licks that will get you rockin' in no time.

    Leatherette
    Sometimes groovy and danceable, sometimes lo-fi and easy listening, Leatherette mixes up the electronics that will keep you noddin' your head without you even knowing it.

    Unicycle Loves You
    Dunno about the band name, but the sound (ultra-twee, ultra-catchy pop that screams summertime) is dead right.

    Nice Purse
    Again, not the greatest name, but the sound is good. Rambling, shambling folk pop from Minnesota full of energy and really good tunes.

    My Sick Uncle
    Lil Wayne may be in jail, but that's no reason to live in a Weezy-free world thanks to My Sick Uncle's genre-mashing mixtape (500) Days Of Weezy.

    Tove Styrke
    She finished a lowly 6th on the 2009 season of Swedish Idol but her debut single, “Million Pieces,” is a stunningly good dance-pop song. Apart from Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone”, it could be the best song to come out of any Idol anywhere.

    also, Bangs!

  • News Roundup: 7/30/2010

    Todd Sampson, a veteran of the Las Vegas punk scene who performed with M.I.A. (no relation to the “Paper Planes” rapper), Self Abuse, and Samsons Army, died last weekend after a performance at the Black Door. The cause of Sampson’s death is currently unknown, but he had to be helped offstage after the show ended. Sampson’s conditions quickly worsened, and he died on the way to the hospital. [Spinner.com]

    More changes are afoot at the American Idol camp, with Ellen DeGeneres announcing her departure from the judging panel only one year into a multi-year contract. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez has reportedly signed a deal to replace DeGeneres, having previously performed on the show and mentored its contestants during Season Six. Lopez received generally warm reviews for her mentorship, which peaked with the extraction of a not-so-terrible performance of “Bésame Mucho” from the pitch-challenged Sanjaya Malakar.

    Cry him a river… or just wear a pair of his jeans. Justin Timberlake has partnered with Target, who will now carry the singer’s William Rast fashion line. The collection, which reportedly focuses on casual denim and affordable leather jackets, will launch in December and be available for one month. [Billboard.com]

    Bigger than Jesus: Liam Gallagher has promised that his post-Oasis band, Beady Eye, will release “the best record you’ll hear for the next 50 years” in 2011. Ever the humble frontman, Gallagher enthused that he has “no doubt about the music, no doubt about me. It’s proper rock ‘n’ roll. Oasis was a pop band compared to what we’re doing.” [Spinner.com]

    “Mega Python vs. Gatoroid,” a made-for-TV movie that premiers on the SyFy channel early next year, has begun releasing several previews. Among them is a clip of the highly anticipated fight between ’80s mall queens Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, both of whom star in the film. [Billboard.com]

    KT Tunstall says she’ll shed her folky past and go “nature techno” on her third album, Tiger Suit, which arrives in September. “I want to sound like Eddie Cochran working with Leftfield,” she said during a recent show in London, where she performed stripped-down versions of the album’s material. [Guardian.co.uk]

    NPR is currently streaming a recent Gorillaz concert in Syria. Recorded at the Damascus Citadel — a 1,000-year-old walled palace (!!) — the show features appearances by Syria’s National Orchestra, Bobby Womack, De La Soul, Bootie Brown of the Pharcyde, Paul Simonon and Mick Jones of The Clash, and Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays.
