New Operator Please Video!!!

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

You probably already peeped this on Perez Hilton, but here is the new amazing video from my good friends Operator Please. I was at the video shoot and still have paint all over the shoes I was wearing that day. The kids just finished a USA mini-tour (NYC and LA only) on their way home to Australia from the UK, and I caught their AMAZING live show at Mercury Lounge. Be on the look out for my interview with the band in ‘Sup Magazine. I asked all the really TOUGH questions.

Jose Gonzalez Covers Massive Attack

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Jose Gonzalez has always had a way with covers (remember his version of “Heartbeats” by The Knife?!) which is why it’s no surprise that his recording of “Teardrop” by Massive Attack is freaking gold.
Watch the video here:

Meet Tiny Masters of Today

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

No, you are not seeing things- the image before you is of two young children in a rock band. One of the best new rock bands! Tiny Masters of Today are a brother and sister duo from Brooklyn, ages 11 and 13. They are signed to Mute Records (home of Jose Gonzalez and The Knife) and just released their debut album which features a cameo by Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I caught TMOT’s live show two nights ago and fell head over heels for the little munchkins, which featured a cover of “Jump Around” by Naughty by Nature!

Meet Cut Off Your Hands

Thursday, October 18th, 2007


With a following by such influential tastemakers as BBC Radio DJ Steve Lamacq and Kate Moss, Cut Off Your Hands is destined to be your new favorite band. The New Zealand rock outfit’s angular dance-rock is part Split Enz, part Gang of Four and is undeniably catchy and upbeat. They have already taken the UK and Australia by storm and are gearing up for a big USA invasion, which includes several appearances at this weeks CMJ Music Marathon in NYC. I am a huge fan of their recordings and will be checking them out this afternoon. After hearing such tremendous buzz about their live show, I’m sure it will be nothing short of amazing.

A Sophomore Gem From Band of Horses

Monday, October 8th, 2007

Critics are raving about the new Band of Horses album, Cease to Begin and I couldn’t agree with them more. A lot of pressure was put on this outfit out of South Carolina to deliver a stellar sophomore album and they didn’t let anyone down. Cease to Begin is filled with the band’s trademark majestic and dreamy guitar chords and lush sounds. Buy it now!

Scout Niblett

Monday, October 8th, 2007

Scout Niblett has been an underground folk sensation for a few years now in her native UK, but she is just now gracing American shores with her new album This Fool Can Die Now. Niblett sounds like a preteen Cat Power (although she is in fact in her thirties) and has more quirkiness than all of the new singer songwriters combined. Have a listen on her Myspace.
