Shinichi Osawa - Star Guitar

Microphone check number one, isn't this a lot of fun?

Mr. Jason Shwartzman can't do any wrong. i fucking hate him. i hate his movies. i hate his bands. i hate his mom. i even hate his new single, Microphone, for his upcoming album called Davey which comes out i believe next Tuesday, January 13th. total jk on the hating, Coconut Records is the shit.

Coconut Records - Microphone

oh those damn Frenchies!

every time i hear their name i think of the 80's action sci-fi movie The Running Man featuring our Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hailing from Nantes, France, this electro duo play some serious new wave pop which i can't stop bobbing my head to. If you're a runner like i am, the Outrunners is perfect on the treadmill.
The Outrunners - These Girls Are Dressed To Kill

they aren't fools, they are FOALS

i'm sure most of you have heard these guys since their absolutely ridiculously totally totally awesome album, Antidotes, came out earlier in 2008. I actually had a chance to see these kids from Oxford, UK. Not only did they tear up the dance floor, they also stunk up the front row. Just because you're on tour, it doesn't mean you can skip out on showering. 
Foals - Hummer

strange name but i like strange

coming from Nottingham, UK, these lovely(and quite young) lads play some lovely glam electro thrash. Late of the Pier is their name and they are quite brilliant along with their album, Fantasy Black Channel. One of my favorite tracks on the album, Focker, starts off strong and ends even stronger. Boys Noize did a little remix of this shit and it's quite "the shit".
Late of the Pier - Focker

fits like a pair of gloves, Winter Gloves

For the past two months, these rippers from Montreal, Canada sure know how to make my booty shake. BOOTY SWEAT BABY. "About A Girl" full length on Paper Bag Records available now.

Winter Gloves - Factories

new year. new start. first blog. first track.

 To start off the new year, I've decided to create a music blog where I can share my delectable tastes in music to whoever is interested and craving new jams. I know there are like a million others who have discovered the same bands a few months ago or even years before I did but at least I am still trying to keep it real. Music is my life whether if it is writing, recording, performing, or discovering...I like it all.  Just because I used to be in a pop-punk band, it doesn't mean I can't be a pretentious music snob. Remember, please support all the bands that I post by purchasing their songs via music store or iTunes or Snowcap on MySpace or wherever. Here's a little playlist I created under my electro alias "DJ Nonee(pronounced Noni) last month...ENJOY!!!
