Please Quiet Ourselves
Thursday, February 21, 2008
Please Quiet Ourselves creates a textured blanket of sound in a somewhat off-key, clumsy freak-pop manner lifted from Modest Mouse’s Building Nothing Out of Something aesthetic. Seven (and sometimes more) effervescent 15 to 16 year-old high schoolers from Berkeley, CA came together after Jojo Brandel wrote an original song for his 8th grade film project soundtrack. Brandel tapped local Bay Area rockers Eli Lyons, Haran Stern (So Many Clouds) and Adam Becker (O Lucky Man!) to join him. Proud parents carted the teens to Davis, CA to record at the Psychedelic Hearts garage studio with Evan Hart (Buildings Breeding). The jovial company incorporates proggy riffs into punk influenced pop songs and pulls off a group dynamic akin to that of Broken Social Scene. Cleverly placed angst throughout Please Quiet Ourselves yields an ambitious yet catchy jaunt through adolescence.

Angus and Julia Stone
Thursday, February 21, 2008
Angus and Julia Stone are the Australian siblings whose monster UK buzz is just now making its way stateside. The duo’s EP Chocolates & Cigarettes is gaining unbelievable praise from some of the most revered publications across the globe, and has just been released in the US exclusively through iTunes.
Another track, “The Beast”, was recently chosen by actress Natalie Portman for her hand-picked compilation, Big Change: Songs For Finca, an iTunes exclusive playlist with net proceeds going to benefit FINCA, an international microfinance organization that provides financial services to the world’s lowest-income entrepreneurs
MGMT - Electric Feel
Thursday, February 21, 2008
Art-punk outfit MGMT added an interactive element to their new video for ‘Electric Feel.’ The piece features the group’s founding pair — Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden — showing viewers how to bring the hook-laden tune to life by choosing the background on which they surf, dance and generally rock the party. Each of the 4,290,888 options are a fit for this psychedelic Prince-influenced falsetto jam.

This is the MusicGlob WIRE
Thursday, February 21, 2008
Hey there, it’s Dan from MusicGlob. I’ve always wanted a “sideblog” or something like what I just created to post anything and everything music related that I didn’t want to post on MusicGlob. So here we are. I plan on posting flyers, shows, press releases, downloads, links to other sites and just a bunch of other random stuff.
In the future maybe I’ll open this up as a community driven site. I really have no clue but for now it is a supplemental blog for MusicGlob. Hit me up if you would like to contribute or you’ve got a great idea for the WIRE.
