tired of being sexy 2008-05-16 17:42:15 Cansei de Ser Sexy, which literally translates as Tired of Being Sexy, makes no excuses when it comes to their raunchy lyrics and fiery image. with song titles like 'Art Bitch' and 'Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex', CSS is sure to please lovers of envelope-pushing electro/rock. the band, originally from Brazil, sings in both Portugese and English and the subject matter of most of their tracks is pop cul Read more:tired
robot egg 2008-05-16 17:42:08 the unique Uffie, alter-ego of the lesser-known, Miami-born Anna-Catherine Hartley and one of my personal favorites, has just released a new track to her MySpace by the name of 'Robot Oeuf', which translates as 'Robot Egg'. i can't make my mind up about the track - it marks such a dramatic departure from her traditional cute-yet-naughty style (so prominent in her masterpieces 'Pop the Glock', 'Di
sweet melodies from georgia band 2008-05-16 17:37:22 Cartel is a band that will definitely appeal to fans of pleasant melodies, saccharine hooks and easy-to-remember lyrics. from the catchy Wasted to the more melancholy Save Us, the band's appealing and light music manages to stay in the minds of listeners without having to franchise the Jonas Brothers' irritating tween territory. to listen to and/or download the band's most memorable track The For

He is behind some outstanding remixes including
indie a la hannah montana 2008-05-15 16:51:41 despite the lead singer's younger sister being Miley Cyrus, Metro Station remains one of this year's best newly-discovered talents. a MySpace phenomenon since their inception in 2006, the band were recently signed to Columbia Records. scenesters are sure to love their bittersweet refrains, regardless of how shallow and superficial the lyrics may be. 'Shake It' is the band's most-played track on My
brighton beats 2008-05-15 14:47:44 surprising considering their edgy 'New York/Tokyo' sound and look, Fujiya & Miyagi were formed in Brighton at the start of the new millennium. memorable first single 'Collarbone' brings a new brand of geeky edginess to the table with it's thumping bassline and bass guitar whilst the relatively bland 'Ankle Injury' manages to redeem itself by adding a touch of novelty to a genre already very mu

lindsay lohan is just a little bossy 2008-05-15 12:57:07 a short snippet of what is supposedly Lindsay Lohan's new single 'Bossy' has been leaked onto the internet. i can't say i'm impressed at all - the beat is nothing more than ordinary, the lyrics are superficial and lindsay's voice is mediocre at best. her voice, much like the entire track, is way over-produced and sounds like a Heidi Montag/Paris Hilton reject. considering she's been working hard ( Read more:little

ice cool tunes, literally 2008-05-18 18:37:47 i apologize for that terrible "pun" - it's getting pretty late and my eyes feel like they're about to fall out but it's all good. so... who am i talking about you might ask? i present you Eskimo Joe, an incredible band from down under with some dark but nonetheless fascinating tracks, including the slightly morbid 'London Bombs' and the phenomenal 'Black Fingernails, Red Wine'. don't get me wrong Read more:tunes

believe in the bravery 2008-05-18 17:47:37 unless you've been living under a rock in a cave in the middle of the Afghani desert (that's right Osama - i'm looking at you) for the past 3 years, you have no excuse if you haven't heard of synth-rock band The Bravery. personally, they are one of my all-time favorite ensembles so i thought i would share 'em with those of you unfortunate enough to have never heard of them. if you haven't, i HIGH Read more:believe
mc svensk 2008-05-18 17:26:08 contrary to popular belief, Sweden isn't just the land of strangely good Ikea hot dogs and hawt girls - it's also home to Adam Tensta, the country's premier hip hop MC with tracks that sound like a hybrid between Daft Punk and Kanye West. that's a good thing by the way - just in case you weren't sure. choosing to avoid the typical US hip hop cliches, Tensta (named after the Stockholm suburb he gre Read more:svensk

hi-tech discotech 2008-05-17 20:19:27 readers beware: Young Love may just be too cool for you - they have quite literally knocked my socks off. i have no idea how i stumpled upon this New York-based group but what i do know is that their tracks are some of the most memorable and youthful i have heard in a long time. inevitably, the band's style of music is not going to please everyone BUT electronic, dance and indie fans will definit
ruby ruby rubyyy! 2008-05-17 19:57:57 British indie rock doesn't get much better than the Leeds-based Kaiser Chiefs. what i really mean by that statement is that the band's lyrics are the kind everyone loves to sing at parties when they get slightly... happy. anthem 'I Predict A Riot' brought the band to prominence in 2005, winning them a Mercury Prize and a spot on NME's "Greatest Indie Anthems Ever" countdown. this year, the boys ca
