yeah yeah yeah yeah.

welcome to the beautifully blissed out world of Luckey Remington. amongst playing with numerous musicians (see: Joanna Newsom, Devandra Banhart), in various different bands and creating his own films, Luckey has time to create some gorgeous bits of music himself.

D/R/U/G/S - Love Lust (C Powers Remix)

ITC ITC ITC it's alright.

towards the end of last year there was a minor panic when rumours flew around about the uncertain future of In The City, one of the country's biggest showcase festivals. thankfully the 3 day event returns this year wooo. based in Manchester, covering large parts of the city centre, In The City is host to an impossible number of brand new bands. i was lucky enough to go last year and had a blast; Egyptian Hip Hop, Everything Everything and Esben & The Witch were particular highlights.

this year ITC has such an insaaaaane line-up, for £30 it's pretty much the bargain of the year. i was allowed to help pick out some bands to play so i'll probably do a special 'DON'T MISS' feature right before the 13th rolls around. but who could say no to:

HEALTH, Mount Kimbie, No Age, Egyptian Hip Hop, Monarchy, White Ring, Oberhofer, D/R/U/G/S, Factory Floor, Kisses, Breton, Beaty Heart, Japayork, Clock Opera.. i could go on or you could salivate over the listing page here.

plus i'm totally DJing at some point.

ITC runs 13th - 15th October. tickets are available here.

watch the glow.

i love Gold Panda. stream his gorgeous debut album over at luckyshiner.com and get your pre-orders in for the special ltd edition packages.

lovely love.

there is a right way to do guitar centered pop and a multitude of wrong ways to do guitar centered pop. thankfully Thievery couldn't sound more in the right. a combination of the band's credible contemporary influences (see: The Strokes, Arcade Fire, Miike Snow) has produced what i can only describe as 'lovely lovely love'. more please.

Thievery - Proud Lovers

disobey.

heaving with dancefloor worthy synths and the sweetest vocals i've heard all year, AlunaGeorge bring you their twisted pop. this lead song from the London based outfit smacks you round the chops in the best way possible. i think this is what they call "a banger".

keep your eyes peeled for more juicy tracks in the coming weeks.

AlunaGeorge - Make No Mistake

red sky.

back in 2008 i was the first person to blog about the incredible Clare Maguire. i definitely won't be the last because she is coming for you.

check out the video sneak preview of forthcoming single 'Ain't Nobody':

and please wrap your ears around the amazing Bloodyshy & Avant re-work of 'Strangest Thing'.
