Their 4 song EP is kind of a must-have since it’s free over at Bandcamp. It speaks to me, even though there isn’t [...]

Not content to rest on the laurels of a sterling debut, Braids switch things up for LP No. 2

Although Swedish duo Üni Foreman  comprising Anna Rauhala and Signe Gustafsson profess a love for everything from Whitney Houston to J Dilla, Cooper more realistically sounds like slackened BRAIDS contused by a contagious rhythmic brutality. And whilst the moniker may evoke blurred images of the amicable yet quietly irate, rotund worker who unlocks the doors of bladdered students to the heinous cesspits they inhabit, their educationally carefree lo-fi intimates they'd be the ones stumbling homeward in gradually sobering slalom come sunrise, blonde locks perfumed with the stench of a couple packs of Winston Reds with lungs blackened and brains ...

ENRIQUE'S UNISEX Alex Winter, reputible recluse and formerly of Blissed Out, is currently known for Gchatting "Wutup?" or "where the party tonite," and then never inciting any sort of hang out. When he texted me, "Let's get braids tomorrow," I said, "Sure, I have every color of bead at my house," to which he responded, "cool I'll be at ur house at 3:30." I considered the plan pretty non-binding. So when he called to say that he was s...

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Song: Broken Social Scene - Anthems For A Seventeen-Year-Old Girl [download here ] What's so good? Broken Social Scene undoubtedly won me over with “Anthems For A Seventeen-Year-Old Girl.” Released on their 2002 album You Forgot It In People , it was the perfect song to accompany the angsty years of High School. The album kicked off with two epic tracks in “Capture The Flag” and “KC Accidental,” only to lazily wind its way toward this song, featuring vocals courtesy of Emily Haines (better known for he small indie band, Metric). ------------------------ 1.

Harbouring a compulsive work ethic to rival any dope nosed rat running the proverbial hamster wheel that is Canary Wharf, it would appear that the time has come for Claire Boucher to play to a significantly more general public for Visions, her third LP in fewer years under her Grimes moniker, bristles with glinting pop hooks to hack open even the most tightly sealed of minds. Esoteric yet accesible, Boucher's baying for blood, bodies, ears and iPods. And it looks as though she'll be taking all she's clamouring for and more. From the sketchy twitch-pop stylings of ...

Even Birdman's god awful rapping on the chorus couldn't ruin what might be Mystikal's best verse since he was rocking braids and a No Limit chain.

BRAIDS  - Plath Heart

This used to be my shit. This is the type of song where girls give you the nice, innocent grind dances in the club—nothing too freaky. Everyone was in this video: Big Boi, the Young Bloodz, Mob">Goodie Mob and even a young Usher with the fresh braids. But did you spot T.I. at the 1:50 [...]
