As Boston's Rock N Roll Rumble limps to its couldn't-care-less conclusion (Who won: the embarrassing white boy rap, the embarrasing white boy indie pop, or the embarrassing white boy "classic rock"?), we sadly add another band to the list of those that were totally slept on while they were here. Squids have indie cred up the wazoo, with roots in the UK riot grrrl scene (Helen played in Petty

'nuff said, right? download: Von Südenfed - Fledermaus Can't Get It update: i guess this is the first single from the upcoming Tromatic Reflexxions LP. makes sense; i picked it for this post, although flooded is pretty rad too. bonus: november group this is alvan long's old band. they won the rumble back in 82 or something, and were pretty rad. alvan still has the linndrum from back then,

This scot has already been hailed be some to be the next "mylo", whatever that means. Well i know what it means: calvin harris rocks. It is kinda like some of the the early LCDSS stuff in the new disco sense, and almost has a DMX krew thing going on since he uses old-school computer sounds without sounding like chiptunes. not that would be anything wrong with that :) He had a top ten hit in

Mark E. will be blending and bending grooves and backing beats for the party armada known as Big Digits. Typical big digit beats are layered with ciara and kelis hooks, reggeaton umbrage, and comedy record laugh tracks. Plus, it's

in the woods close to a spring, 30 inches deep in snow, squids are in a peach pit, surrounded by guitars and a drum cave, recording a new ep for our friends. new songs = = = barcelona, questions, bull run, horror movie, nonplaces, sea shanty === maracas, theremin, phaseshifter pedals, scary victorian children singing a ghost story. we are learning how to farm from the farmers, eating root

This could easily be construed as a valentine's day mix, given that i'm posting this on february 13th, but it's not. Unless of course, the love of your life is DANCING. It's a tribute to my homies the Crimp Yr Hair djs. They came up to boston for a one night only birthday bash and mixed the hell out of some killer dance beats. In their first outside of philly gig they more then held their

M.I.A. just posted up on her myspace page a video for her new song "Bird Flu". (It's all over the likes of GVB and others, but i'm posting it here just for reference.) The vid is rad and the beat is pretty tight. Tribal drums, rooster samples, and kids yelling are all awesome, but the song kinda goes nowhere. Maybe it's the popist or dance dj in me, but it just seems like the song could've

Not sure if they are going to post about it here (one day we will get Karen to post) and since it always easier for someone else to write the hyperbole for you let me say this: THE UV PROTECTION CD RELEASE PARTY IS GOING TO BE OFF THE CHAIN/HOOK/RACK/PLANET. You see, not only will UV be releasing their long in the coming 2nd cd “clean. modern. comfortable.” (although spies have spotted the cd

Big ups to Marya of 280 Studios who tipped me off to the burgeoning phenomena that is The Pack a few months back. Now that they're on Jive/Zomba, I expect big 'tings from them this year. For those unfamiliar, The Pack are a band of high school skater

As the weather turns the thermostat up and the activity level down, some of us here at 440 turn to thoughts of cleaning and california. The convergence of these wintery ideas brought me a 7 inch that I got the first time Big Digits went out west (and also found while cleaning what was a total disaster of a room) by the ear wrecking Foot Village. Foot Village is a four piece all drums/shouts
