Mike D’S Top Tracks of December Mike D’s Top Tracks of December 1. Bad Bad Hats “Midway” I was turned on to Minneapolis’ Bad Bad Hats thankfully by my friend Will Noon (from the band fun. / Straylight Run). What separates Bad Bad Hats from the other indie bands in the scene is Kerry Alexander’s larger-than-the-room vocals. This track, off their debut LP Psychic Reader, will be stuck in your head for days after three listens, and she shines in it. The songwriting reminds me a lot of Liz Phair, and the record also leans on other ’90s alt rock icons like The Breeders, PJ Harvey and Letters To Cleo. The record was named one of the indie albums of 2015 by Buzzfeed. I HATE Buzzfeed and its lowest common denominator reporting, but they got this one right. Bad Bad Hats play the Sinclair in Cambridge, MA on February 5. 2. Beach Slang “I Break Guitars” Here comes another big indie breakout artist of 2015. Their debut The Things We Do To Find People Who Like Us seems to be on every rock critic’s top end-of-the-year list and it damn well should be. Punk rock ‘n’ roll isn’t supposed to reinvent the wheel, but when it’s done this right, it feels like it does. This record shows a shit load of promise for the Philadelphia band and this track is my favorite off of it. I generally get bummed when I hear bands or songs that people tell me are influenced by the Replacements, but “I Break Guitars” is the exception. Vice also named the band artist of the year along with Future, Speedy Ortiz, Iron Maiden and Kendrick Lamar. That company is all you need to know about where they are going. Get on the bandwagon before it’s too late. 3. Public Access TV “In Love And Alone” Finally a celebration of self for self’s sake. Relationships are hard and listening to songs about relationships are even harder sometimes. What’s easier than relationships is giving up and falling back into a relationship with yourself. This song is a garage power pop blast that should be played as loud as humanly possible. While the song writing seems to be out of the Buzzcocks’ playbook lyrics-wise, the jam itself is more of New York Ramones / Devil Dogs vibe. Great track. 4. Cool Uncle “Break Away” This song has my vote for best song of 2015 that you haven’t heard. The project’s concept is just as good on paper as it is on tape. Cool Uncle is superstar producer Jack Splash (Kendrick Lamar, Katy Perry) paired with smooth jazz legend Bobby Caldwell (best known his 1978 hit “What You Won’t Do For Love”). The result is modern day yacht rock bliss. Think along the lines of a mellow or lounge Gnarls Barkley. The self- titled record has a bunch of collaborations on it (Mayer Hawthorne and actually Gnarl’s Cee-Lo Green) and this track features Jessie Ware. Sweet summer yacht rock bliss in a winter month so warm we might as well be drinking can beer on a boat. 5. Miike Snow “Heart Is Full (featuring Run The Jewels)(Remix)” Run The Jewels is unstoppable. Their last record “Run The Jewels 2” was not only the best album of 2014, for me it’s still the most played record of 2015. Here they take the lead single of Miike Snow’s new album III and straight up knock it out of the park with a remix and new verses. Killer Mike has been on a roll ever since starting to work with EL-P. The 2012 EL-P produced R.A.P. Music solo record was just a foreshadowing of the shape of what’s to come. Now partnered together as Run The Jewels, Killer Mike is not only performing at his best, he’s getting the attention he deserved. And with appearances on “Real Time With Bill Maher” and in front of rallies for Bernie Sanders, Killer Mike is getting the platform that his voice deserves as a talent and visionary. 6. Kirk Knight “Brokeland” Just like I don’t typically like anything that’s proclaimed to be in vein of the Replacements, same goes for Wu Tang Clan. Any non-original Wu Tang member, but rather affiliate’s material, always is a dud on delivery. Kirk Knight, a member of Pro Era crew, took the right elements out of 36 Chambers and other mid ’90s New York City hip-hop. The 20-year-old’s full length “Late Knight Special” is a solid album and this track is my favorite off it. The beat sounds like a RZA beat, too. I look forward to seeing this young rapper evolve. 7. Leon Bridges “Smooth Sailing” And here is perhaps the biggest breakout indie artist of 2015, Leon Bridges. This year saw the gospel / soul singer go from his first national tour at the beginning of the year to bookending it with an appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” That’s not to say there wasn’t hard work in between, but that’s a hell of a rise for an authentic musician. He is most often compared to Sam Cooke, and this track sounds so vintage you would not have a hard time convincing me it was from ’50s. He is supposed to put on a hell of a show too. Looking forward to finding that out for myself. Leon Bridges plays the Wang Center in Boston on March 5. 8. Baroness “Shock Me” Baroness are back and this is the second song teased off the upcoming album Purple, which will be released December 19 on their own newly formed label Abraxan Hymns. It’s not only the first new music from them in almost four years, but it’s also the first recording since their serious and near fatal bus accident in Europe shortly after the release of Yellow/Green. While elements of the metal act’s trademark seem in tact with this track, the vibes over seem different. It starts off with keyboards, which is entirely new to the band, for example. Vocalist John Baizley is one of my favorite vocalist in metal. Hopefully the record is as good as this song. 9. Babes “How Do You Make Love Stop” I think the way a listener hears a song of heartbreak is often more a channel of reflection of their own life. Is it a song of overcoming the hardships of love for relationships sake? Or is it a hard knock reality of the pains of lost love? I think that this song, while being beautiful, is of the view point of pessimist. “Love is the only game we all play and lose.” Ain’t that the truth? The band is from LA, which one can tell from watching the music video. The music video takes the piss out of you so to speak, watching 3 and half minutes of people crying. I recommend the song, I don’t recommend listening while watching the video. Love hurts. 10. Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment “Sunday Candy” I’m late to the game on this one. This record came out in May, but as we reflect on best of list of 2015, I revisited Surf. The record is sorta Chance The Rapper’s follow up to 2013’s breakout Acid Rap. I say sorta because it’s a collaboration with trumpeter Nico Segal and a band of collaborators called The Social Experiment, but Chance’s imprint is all over this record. This track is a sweet tribute to his grandmother. And the record is still available for free to download on iTunes, so get on that..

    An undiscovered island. An epic journey. An illustrious ship. Known just by its name and its logo, GALANTIS could be all or none of these things. A Google search only turns up empty websites and social pages, and mention of a one-off A-Trak collaboration. Is it beats? Art? Something else entirely? At the most basic level, GALANTIS is two friends making music together. The fact that they’re Christian “Bloodshy” Karlsson of Miike Snow and Linus Eklow, aka Style of Eye, is what changes the plot. The accomplished duo’s groundbreaking work as GALANTIS destroys current electronic dance music tropes, demonstrating that emotion and musicianship can indeed coexist with what Eklow calls “a really really big kind of vibe.” “GALANTIS is about challenging, not following.” says Karlsson. Karlsson should know about shaking things up. As half of production duo Bloodshy & Avant, he reinvented pop divas like Madonna, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue in the early 2000s. He co-wrote and produced Spears’ stunning, career-changing single “Toxic” to the tune of a 2005 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. Since then he’s been breaking more ground as one-third of mysterious, jackalobe-branded band Miike Snow. The trio’s two albums, 2009’s self-titled debut and 2011’s Happy To You, fuse the warm pulse of dance music with inspired songcraft, spanning rock, indie, pop and soul. And they recreated that special synthesis live, playing over 300 shows, including big stages like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Ultra Music Festival. As Style of Eye, Eklow has cut his own path through the wilds of electronic music for the last decade, defying genre and releasing work on a diverse swath of labels including of- the-moment EDM purveyors like Fool’s Gold, OWSLA and Refune; and underground stalwarts like Classic, Dirtybird and Pickadoll.

  • Rufus Wainwright & Mark Ronson Team Up
    2012-01-31 17:08 CET Rufus Wainwright & Mark Ronson Team Up New Rufus Disc Out April 23rd on Polydor Rufus Wainwright releases his eagerly anticipated new album, ‘Out of the Game’, April 23rd on Polydor. Produced by Mark Ronson, this is the 7th studio album from one of the very best contemporary songwriters. Rufus says it’s “the most pop album I’ve ever made” while Mark Ronson believes “it’s the best work of my career”. Both sentiments can be heard between the grooves of this marriage made in heaven. Recorded in New York last autumn, the 12 tracks sparkle and shine. From the uptempo opening chords of the title track and first single to the gospel tinged rock of ‘Jericho’, through the beauty of ‘Sometimes You Need’ and the emotional pull of ‘Candles’, this new disc ranks alongside Rufus Wainwright’s very best. Musicians on the album include the Dap-kings who Mark used for the groundbreaking Amy Winehouse ‘Back To Black’ CD and his own ‘Record Collection’; Wilco’s Nels Cline; Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs; Andrew Wyatt from Miike Snow; Sean Lennon and Martha Wainwright. Influences, as ever, were all encompassing. Mark says ‘Out of the Game’ “has a real 70’s, Laurel Canyon spirit” while Rufus cites “all the greats- Elton, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, basically the brash and beautiful. It’s also very Rufus.” Without a doubt, ‘Out of the Game’ covers all the bases. Universal Music är Sveriges och världens ledande musikbolag med representation i hela 71 länder. Universal Music i Sverige är helägda av Universal Music Group.

  • Biography Mark Ronson Is an Internationally Renowned DJ and Five-Time-Grammy-Award-Winning and Golden Globe-Winning Artist and P
    Biography Mark Ronson is an internationally renowned DJ and five-time-Grammy-Award-winning and Golden Globe-winning artist and producer. Ronson spent the first eight years of his life growing up in London, England. Having played guitar and drums from an early age, it wasn't until moving to New York City following his parents’ divorce, that he discovered DJ culture. At age 16, and already a fan of artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC and the Beastie Boys, Ronson began listening to mixtapes released by various hip hop DJs. Inspired, Ronson confiscated his step-father's vinyl collection and tried his hand at mixing. It was the first step in a career highlighted by work on a multi Grammy-winning album by Amy Winehouse, as well as his own Grammy-winning, global smash hit with Bruno Mars, "Uptown Funk." In the late 1990s into the early 2000s, the New York club scene was percolating with booming hip-hop and glitzy R&B. Ronson quickly earned himself a reputation through stints on the decks in downtown clubs before becoming the DJ of choice for many noteworthy parties. Hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs hired Ronson to DJ his fabled 29th birthday bash. These and other high-profile gigs boosted Ronson's profile and connected him with other artists, many of whom were interested in collaborating. His first production gig came from British soul singer Nikka Costa and he found that his experience of working a club crowd informed his production skills. Fusing his eclectic turntable skills with his knowledge of musical instruments and songwriting, Ronson soon embarked on his first solo record.

  • Indie Mixtape HQ Is the Third 2011
    :: View email as a web page :: In conversation, Phoebe Bridgers speaks in a deadpan SoCal accent and punctuates her blunt and hilarious observations with generous amounts of curse words. She sounds, in other words, utterly unlike her music, which tends to be quiet, contemplative, and gorgeous. Because of her gently murmuring vocal style — "I don’t sing with a lot of emotion, it’s almost an apathetic singing voice," she confesses — Bridgers tends to be cast as yet another sad-sack singer-songwriter out to jerk every last one of your tears. It’s precisely that image that made her 2017 debut Stranger In The Alps a slow-burn sensation, setting in motion a promising career that was further bolstered by her participation in two indie supergroups: Boygenius (with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker) and Better Oblivion Community Center (with Conor Oberst). On her latest album, Punisher, due out on Friday, Bridgers goes deeper and weirder, writing with uncommon insight about the millennial condition. Check out Uproxx’s interview with her here. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" And The Beginning Of The 21st Century OPENING TRACKS HAIM This infectious and frequently canny pop-rock trio is known for making fun sing-along jams with splashy choruses that evoke the glory years of FM and Top 40 radio.
