Who ever said that techno can't be fun?

Hi all! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Yesterday I uploaded some pictures from the wondrous Beach House show I attended on Saturday at Athens’ Georgia Theatre. I was so close to the stage and the pictures came out pretty well! I heard all the songs from their new album, Bloom , for the first time…live! I can’t wait to listen to it again when it’s released tomorrow :) But enough of that…onto the music! Last week was a relatively calm/retro week for the blog. I decided it would be best if I started this week ...

As well as their original score, the game will feature songs by Sleigh Bells, Toni Basil, MSTRKRFT, Dragonforce, The Human League, Joan J ...
