The Black Ghosts

Ever had that song that runs up, down, from side to side, and all over your mind, an intoxication of sound blasting from every possible angle into every possible ear. The Black Ghosts, an Electro /Pop duel from London have been out for a while, but the single “Any Way You Choose To Give It” has blasted from my desktop, car, phone, and home sound system recently. It’s a dope ass fucking song that every person needs to hear before dying. Work of genius.

Phoenix

Some of the best modern indie melodic songs that have emerged in the last few years have originated from the French/Pop band, Phoenix. In 2000, their "United" debut cd hit the market, and was even featured in movies such as Farrell's Brothers, Shallow Hal, and Lost in Translation. Alphabetical, released in 2004, has such hits as "Run Run Run" and "Everything is Everything." It's Never Been Like That, released in 2006, magnificent to say the least. It's one of those bands that just capture you and bring you down from whatever turmoil that might be twirling within your imploding mind. Check them out!

Indie 101

Tired of listening to the same old depressed shit that just makes you question so many things rather than enjoy life without regard to what it might mean. The fact that it is upbeat, happy, and romantic is all that matters. Don't get me wrong I like metal as much as the next head banger, but life is not always depressing, especially when you find beauty in the most and even the those likely places, things, or person. Here are a couple of bands that just rip that depressing self from your outer self, leaving you in a sublime state of mind. |Art by Mykola31|

Kenna

Virginia Beach has produced some of the most talented individuals like Pharrell Williams, Missy Elliot, Timbaland, Chad Hugo, and Kenna who make revolutionary music for generations to come. Kenna released his first album called New Sacred Cow in 2003, which was co-produced by Chad Hugo of The Neptunes. Three years later his second album hit the market called "Make Sure They See My Face," which was also co-produced by Hugo; his first single was featured on the Sony PSP commercial. The best way to describe his music is a blend of electro, synth pop, post rock, and house.

Molotov

Molotov has released a new album entitled "Enternamiente" which is one of the few things that Mexico has been able to produce on a continuous bases. By that I only mean music. The single right now is catchy maily because the lyrics are so fun to sing along to. Try singing this along to it, " Yofo zafa fofo, yofo zafa fofo, Yofo zafa fofo alofo nofo cofo cofo, Yofo zafa fofo, yofo zafa fofo." Check out the rest of the album and support their music. Enjoy!

The video takes me back when I used to play touch or duck duck goose.

Annie

A pounding sound system composed of a bass that makes the ground rumble, pebbles start floating, as if no gravity existed, and through the ground and air you feel Boom-Bam-Boom-Bam-Boom-Bam. Your chewing gum starts to dance to the same beat that surrounds your environment. Every movement of your body down to your heartbeat is synchronized with the beat. You sing along to so many hits, but which is her greatest hit? Check her myspace for more info, music, and tour dates.

Cumbias

You can never go wrong with cumbias and remixes; Kumbia All-Starz did a very good cover of "Parece Que Va A Llover" and other assorted great cumbia hits, but you also have Super Mercado who made a great summer hit "Que Calor." There is also a cumbia version of M.I.A.-Paper Planes that I highly recommend.

Edu K

Edu K, is the first ripple in the water of Brazilian Baile Funk, the "it guy" that paved the way for bands like Bonde De Role and many more. Brazil and sex, the perfect combination for the hit single, Sex-O-Matico. To experience Edu K is to experience the sunny beaches of Brazil that are crowded with gorgeous women. I highly recommend him and also check his mypsace for tourdates, music, and info. Here is a couple of his remixes.

Fatal Bazooka

Fatal Bazooka, what accurate words can be used to describe them; parody Hip-Hop would be accurate, but they make you laugh and sweep the dance floor with the Robot. Michael Youn a tough ass French Rapper brings his A game and with the help of Yelle on his new single "Parle a ma main" (Talk To The Hand) he puts a gangsta spin on Hip-Hop. Their CD entitled Tas Vu? droped 5/28/2007, and has created a buzz. Check out Fatal Bazooka's myspace for more songs and info. I leave you with two hot joints, which are my personal favorites.
