Miss Derringer

Sometimes you have to suck it up and love the Los Angeles music scene.
Miss Derringer being that of a rare jewel arrising from this city that seems to sometimes soley crank out blasted indie-core with dim lyrics and boring drones.

I always said that the Raveonettes are best at covers, but I found this today: 'Unchained' by Miss Derringer.

[[PS: I'm dedicating 'Unchained' to my beautiful Goddaughter, of whom I will never have enough time with. I love you, Christina.]]

She's going to be at the Viper room Jan 14, 2008. I want nothing more than to see her perform "Tonight I've Got a Bottle." I'm going to be drinking my daddy's drink [whiskey] while standing in the front being rowdy...oh,yes.

The Twelves

If you're looking for something fresh and new, check out this unsigned band, The Twelves.
From Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, "The Twelves" were formed by the duo J.Mig (João) and Matuto (Luciano) back in 2005. They also feature vocalist Aniko (Anne) in a few tracks.

G/L/A/S/S/C/A/N/D/Y

Lately I've been into the smooth beats of this band, G/L/A/S/S/C/A/N/D/Y introduced to me by my good freind Franky. From their hypnotic beats to their sporatic blogs, this band gripped me the minute I heard their song 'Computer Love.'

Computer Love reminds me of myself, sitting at home on such a saturday night with no one around but me and my puppy.

Bat For Lashes

Bat for Lashes was an accidental meeting since I stumbled upon it looking for CROSSOVER tracks. It is said that the Lashes have been compared to an almost Bjorky feel, but to me I could best describe them as cryptic beats + ET.

Emily Haines and the Soft Skeletons

I love side projects, this being one of my favorites.
Metric's Emily Haines' softer side of music is fantastic.

MP3 of the day:

YELLE

As far as female french rap artists goes, I prefer YELLE over UFFIE any day. With her first single 'Je Veux Te Voir' composed of lyrics bashing the so-called french rapper Cuizinier such as:
"Cuizinier avec ton petit sexe entoure de poils roux
Je narrive pas a croire que tu puisses croire quon veuille de toi.."
Meaning "Cuizinier with your tiny dick hidden in your red pubic hair, how can you think we'd possibly desire you?" [translation by A. Sanchez] YELLE packs quite a punch.

A Cause Des Garçons

Enjoy this mp3 'Jogging' from her Debut CD out now and available on iTUNES.
