Music Review - Daft Punk “Alive 2007″
Daft Punk’s latest release, a live recording from their latest tour, is a lot of things to a lot of people. For most, it’s the latest DP offering since Human After All was released in 2005. It’s much more for fans of the group in Paris, Daft Punk’s hometown: it’s the first live show performed in the city in a decade- sort of a strange fact. Either way, the album release is from their (naturally) well-received Paris performance. Read more

I have no good reason to post this, other than the fact that I think the song is hilarious.
Music Review - Arctic Monkeys “Favourite Worst Nightmare”
The Arctic Monkeys follow up their hit debut CD with Favourite Worst Nightmare.

A Little Bird Told Me (Era Vulgaris download)
Hello friend -
Thank you for accepting this gift. Included you will find the will to dance & the song ERA VULGARIS. It was pulled from the new album (of the same name) so that it could be to you and become an example of how we think “from now on” should be. As in - We do for you, you do for us.
So to start this relationship off, we have done for you. Now we ask this in return. Share this with friends you think we (you & us) would enjoy. Upload it and spray it like time released graffitti (sic) on the websites of places it does not belong.

Review: Melodrama by Vibe Tribe
I recently had the pleasure of getting a copy of Vibe Tribe’s first album, Melodrama.
The first few seconds of Melodrama, “Vinyla Sky”, start the album off with a nice ambient psy feel, and quickly progresses into sacred Vibe Tribe territory, flowing, liquid rhythms, composed of a wide range of synth and filtering. In the same fashion as Wise Cracks, there are no lyrics, just a constant ebb and flow of pure psychedelic sound, with a few key samples. Read more
