Robert G-G-G-Gomez In Space

I have to say I'm really digging a lot of the DC-9 in Space weekly installments. The one for this week is Robert Gomez...and I'm diggin' it. Like most of these installments it's shot very well and edited very well and the bands always sound great. Plus, it's the best use of an old typewriter as percussion I've ever witnessed.

Battle Of The Remix All-Stars

So, today I'm prepping for an interview with Bjorn of Peter, Bjorn & John fame when I came across a new remix of "Nothing" in my inbox. No, not my box. I'm still thinking the LehtMoJoe remix is superior to this one. Although, this one isn't bad... why always so negative?

New Pearl Jam "The End"

It's a live recording from their show at London's Shepard's Bush Empire. Hearing this and "The Fixer" are making me really want to hear the new album after the mostly dud of the Avacado album.

Wye Oak Get Remixed And Come To The D

So, first things first--Baltimore's Wye Oak got the remix treatment from Baltimore producer Mickey Free. It's a nice re-imagining of "That I Do," it gives it a bit of a darker electronic element to it. You can find it below.

Also, they are coming to town with Cotton Jones at The Cavern on October 2. Should be a great show... in a small intimate setting.

New Ian Brown?

Looks like the King Monkey, Ian Brown, has a new EP out exclusively on iTunes. But, if you actually looked for his new Stellify EP on iTunes it's not actually there. What gives? It's not on Imeen either, so, not sure what's up with that. However, you can hear a snippet of "Stellify" on his Myspace page... and it sounds pretty promising. No mariachi horns like Solarized, but, plenty of piano.

Brown Recluse

These guys were all over the blogosphere last week and after finally hearing them this weekend I can see why. Philly's Brown Recluse combine a bit of chamber pop with their indie pop and create a sound worth listening to. A little bit of Belle and Sebastian, a little bit of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin all rolled up into a ball of awesomeness.
