by Alexander Slotnick • May 2012 This month, director Grant Gee’s new documentary Patience (After Sebald) has its limited US release. The film is a hypnotic meditation on the writer W.G. Sebald and his book The Rings of Saturn. As many Tiny Mix Tape gourmands already know, English experimental musician The Caretaker was responsible for the film’s soundtrack , which shares the film’s title and was independently released at the beginning of the year. Beyond providing a hypnotic 82-minute plunge, the film and its score are noteworthy for precipitating general consideration of how today’s music interacts with ...

Let’s just say this week’s theme is Bands/Musicians You’ve Heard Of But Might Not Have Taken The Time To Listen To. I keep on finding myself drawn to the bigger names on my iPod rather than the little ones this week and I don’t know quite why. (Though there were a couple of big name releases this week…) Don’t worry, the “little names” will get their time in the spotlight! Monday I featured the Ibiza-influenced Spanish electropoppers, Delorean . Yesterday I featured the futuristic and terrific Janelle Monáe . Today I’m featuring Sleigh Bells: a ...

Shut Up And Play The Hits We Are Legion: The Story Of The Hacktivists [Bloor Hot Docs Cinema, May 1, 6:15 pm] "The geeks shall inherit the earth" may be a phrase you may have perhaps heard of. On one hand, Microsoft's Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs of Apple have proven this well from a corporate standpoint. But from a political standpoint it's grassroots protest groups such as Anonymous , the subject of this documentary, who've proven to be conduits for change and influence against political oppression and repressive behaviors from other groups. We Are ...

Austin’s *Starlings, TN* has released the front-porch pick-and-grinner *“Tonight I’m Just Looking To Get Laid”* as the latest single from its new album *Heartache in 4/4 Time*, out now on *Chicken Ranch Records*. Contrary to what some might perceive as the juvenile nature of the song based on its...

19-year-old August Alsina hasn't had the easiest life, but through the power of music his shine has come.  Inspired by the tragic death of his older brother, August looked toward music as an escape from the tough streets of New Orleans.  NEW VIDEO: August Alsina "Sucka" August recently collaborated with rapper Juvenile and producer Mannie Fresh on a new track and has way more collaborations in the works. GlobalGrind caught up with August to talk about growing up in New Orleans, working with Juvenile, YMCMB and of course his new mixtape The Product . Check out our exclusive video below ...

If you'll pardon the slightly pompous BA Journalism term, what's the current "narrative" of the Jarman brothers? For their first few albums The Cribs were characterised as eccentric punk rockers whose ace songwriting was hampered by lo-fi production which made their brilliant songs sound like they'd been recorded in/by a tin can (which was sort of true). Then when it came to album four, 2009's Ignore the Ignorant , all eyes were on - "Hey It's Johnny Marr! Out Of The Smiths!" (and Modest Mouse) "What's He Doing In The Cribs?" That album was also ...

Constantly walking the thin line between genius and psychosis, Montreal's Young Lungs are anything but juvenile. Hailing from Montreal's South Shore, close friends Guillaume Carrol (Bass), Justin Ross (guitar) and Gervais Robinson (drums) yearned for something different than the carbon copy acts that populated the clubs of their city. Too hardcore for the indie crowd, too indie for the hardcore crowd, the boys had no choice but to cut their own path. Their unique sound was forged in a suburban basement - crystallized by countless hours of disciplined practice verging on the edge of self-flagellation. Their debut EP, Blood ...

I should probably hate this but it’s just an amazing pop song. It’s big, brash and juvenile like ‘Oh Mickey’. Just really dumb fun. I caught Icona Pop’s gig at Camden Crawl in London. It was super fun, like this … Read More... →

So I was talking with King Turbz the other day and he was all, "Bro. I'd say you have an outside shot at ever going on a date with Taylor Swift." Which I thought was pretty cool of him since most people assume I have quite literally no chance of ever even meeting T. But the scary part is. I mean. Taylor and I haven't yet gone on our first date and I'm already running out of date ideas! Whoa, crap! Anyways. Mad people have told me, "OMG, walking across the Brooklyn Bridge is a great date ...

To mark the sad death of Adam Yauch at the age of 47, here are some examples of the Beastie Boys at their finest – and a chance for you to tell us what MCA and the band meant to you Live on the Scott and Gary Show Before they became rap's biggest act, the Beastie Boys were a hardcore punk band into Black Flag and Bad Brains . Here, Adam Yauch is on bass while adding to the primeval racket are Adam Horovitz on guitar and Michael Diamond on vocals (with, on drums, Kate Schellenbach, later of Luscious Jackson), ahead ...

Self-Release 2012 Pleasant Living is an old-fashioned (and fun) hardcore/punk band that features current/former members of Stout, TUI, Slumlords, and Pulling Teeth. FFO Slumlords, Wisdom In Chains and Animalhaus. The band's 5-track demo was recorded over the weekend of March 24-25th with everything but gang vocals and the mixing completed in just one day. Or at least that's what the band claims. That seems sort of hard to believe because this is some tight (and rocking) punk/hardcore complete with shouted gang vocals and more than enough (or just enough depending on your point of view ...

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Mac Miller, Asher Roth, Big Sean Song: Left Boy Ft. Mirakle - Video Games [download here ] What's so good? While we haven’t yet had our fill from musical seductress Lana Del Rey, our appetite for the debut single “Video Games” is satisfied by singer and producer Ferdinand Sarnitz, better known as Left Boy. What’s most likely a drum machine matched with his revamped (and completely addictive) chorus, he samples beats from something similar to an actual video game, which makes it difficult to take this track off repeat. It was released ...
