I always love artists’ descriptions of their own tracks because they usually tend to be spot on. Steve Metz and Chris Conover from EarthMoonEarth describe their latest remix of Dragonette’s classic track as something that, “continues to build throughout, from very soft beginnings, through a gated-reverb second verse, a bridge full of vocal edits and pianos, [...]

So normally I'm not in to posting music festival set lists (see the 0 that we've done before), but this year is different. I'll be venturing down to the music portion of South by South West in my former home of Austin, TX and might just get a press pass to cover the event for a much more popular blog than this one. Don't worry I'd still post obscure twit-pics and one-liners from @hypefloats. Anyoo the potential set-list of performers slated to show if they don't get to high on Hydrocodone and miss their ...

There are certain songs that will forever touch a nerve with you, for one reason or another. For me, Dragonette’s “Pick Up the Phone” is just one of those goose-bump tracks. It’s one of those choons that I associate with a specific time and place in my life. I remember a close friend who introduced [...]

A new study shows how difficult it is for European artists to gain pan-European success, even if their lyrics are in English If you want to cross borders as a European artist, you had better sing in English. This may not come as a huge surprise, but the extent of the US domination of European airwaves and download charts might. A new report by Emmanuel Legrand, commissioned by the European Music Office and Eurosonic Noorderslag, shows how difficult it is for European artists to gain pan-European success, even if their lyrics are in English – and if you're a rock ...

Curing the post-holiday blues, a late date announcement brings news of this year's lineup for Coachella taking place as usual on the grounds of the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. In an interesting move but odd move, the festival this year will be replicated over two weekends, first on the weekend of April 13-15 then the next weekend April 20-22. I imagine that festival organizers want to be able to accommodate as many ticket buyers as possible, but doesn't having the festival occur on one weekend and then having the whole festival replicated the next weekend make ...
