Enquanto esteve em recesso com o Los Hermanos, Amarante rodou bastante com o Little Joy e o amigo Devandra Banhart. Esse vídeo da turnê pelo Japão e Austrálias, em 2010, mostra a diversão.

Los Encantados are a rising Brooklyn-based six-piece with a knack for throwback, summer-friendly rockers. They incorporate their love of surf-rock and throwback pop like Jonathan Richman or Little Joy, who recall the style’s chirpiest and most accessibly recognizable aspects without appearing overly sentimental or dependent on the era. Alas, Los Encantados do not abandon the

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: The Strokes, Little Joy Song: San Cisco - Awkward [download here ] What's so good? How did we miss this track, which dropped a few months ago? San Cisco’s “Awkward” is simple, upbeat and actually really cute. The exchange between male and female vocals lends a nice mix to an otherwise classic set up. The song holds a steady beat throughout, leaving little room for any build ups or break downs. They’ve also incorporated some pretty trippy synthesizers towards the end, which gives a nice psychedelic feel to an overall indie pop ...

MY DISCO played a couple of shows, as part of their Australia Asia tour, at The Toff in Town on the weekend. They were in fine form and it was a real treat to hear stuff from ‘Little Joy’ with a mix of old tracks and possibly one new track too. Someone might confirm that? [...]

Da un gruppo di musicisti newyorkesi che hanno suonato con Little Joy e con Adam Green, che hanno aperto per gli Strokes e ai quali si è poi aggiunto il britannico Joshua Hubbard, già chitarrista nei Paddingtons, ti aspetti un bel suono rock a briglia sciolta, capace di equilibrare ruvidezze e melodie a presa rapida. E bisogna dire che ogni tanto fa piacere anche ricevere piene conferme alle proprie aspettative. Il progetto prende il nome di Skaters e sul loro sito si può trovare il loro Schemers EP in free download. (mp3) Skaters - Are We Just Doomed

Changement d’horaire / Time change                          ——————————————————————————————           Cette semaine, nous sommes passés à l’heure d’été. Comme tous les ans, nous pouvons nous demander si nous avons réellement fait des économies d’énergie cet hiver (puisque c’était le but initial). Le changement d’heure a en tout cas l’inconvénient de nous fait subir le décalage horaire sans voyager et de raccourcir notre Dimanche. Mais surtout, si nous faisons notre playlist là-dessus, c’est pour tous ceux qui sont passés à côté de l’information et qui risquent d’avoir une mauvaise surprise en arrivant demain au travail.                          ——————————————————————————————           This week ...

Radiohead’s seriously long-awaited tour announcement may’ve dominated headlines at other outlets this morning, but not here at M+N . We know your musical tastes have evolved beyond 2000 so without further delay: My Disco have announced four shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Geelong in April. The Melbourne trio, who’ve made at least three better albums than Radiohead this century, will make amends for a series of cancellations last year. The band were forced to cancel shows in Sydney, Geelong, Canberra and Newcastle after bassist/singer Liam Andrews ruptured his spleen in a traffic accident. My Disco have ...

Download link is in the original post Sounds like: The Strokes, Hot Snakes, The Walkmen Song: Skaters - Schemers [download here ] What's so good? Give it up for Skaters, ya’ll. These three guys (based out of NYC) are Little Joy’s back-up band, and they opened for The Strokes (as The Dead Trees – there are a few former members in the band), so you know they MUST have something infectiously catchy up their sleeves. Enter their single, “Schemers.” “Schemers” is taken from their debut Schemers EP which is available for free to download on their website . The song starts ...

"We welcome you to share our joy," write Jay-Z and Beyoncé on Jigga's Life + Times website today (via Rap Up ). "Thank you for respecting our privacy during this Beautiful time in our lives." The note, signed "The Carter Family," comes with five photos of baby Blue Ivy Carter, including the above shot of a remarkably coiffed post-birth B and child.

If you've never heard of Marisa Monte , and tell that to a Brazilian, they will look at you as if you said you had never heard of Madonna. Monte has amassed stellar catalog dating back to 1989 and can easily sell out the Beacon in New York, despite not yet being a household US name. Monte has collaborated with the biggest names in Brazilian music, and of course, Brazil's un-offical US ambassador David Byrne. The facts are staggering: "The “Infinito Ao Meu Redor” worldwide tour... hit 140 shows throughout 50 cities in 15 countries across 4 continents. Monte ...

Whether out of cultural protest, insufficient coin or sheer indifference, Melbourne’s My Disco have never released a single clip – until now. ‘Turn’, which features ballet dancer Erinn Arnel, premiered on Pitchfork.tv overnight. The clip was directed by Stephanie Bailly and David Guest, with lighting by audio-visual artist Robin Fox, who’s become quite a popular figure in Melbourne’s visual arts scene. ‘Turn’ is lifted from My Disco’s third album, Little Joy , which came out locally in late-2010. A tour announcement is expected soon.

As many of you know, I have started a Christmas tradition in Los Angeles that involves costumed critters running rampant around the city, getting insanely drunk and bringing holiday cheer to various watering holes, alehouses and tap rooms. In the inaugural 2007 edition of MouseMas Eve I donned the mouse costume, drank at Little Joy [...]
