So it took some work, but I finally caught wind of an up-and-coming band from Melbourne. In the electronica vain, as most of this country’s decent stuff is, the Midnight Juggernauts turn fantasy tales into dance parties. Check out this number from their 2007 debut, Dystopia, called “Into the Galaxy.”
Ok so I know it’s not our usual day for Cover of the Week and it’s not an Australian band, but I’m a little thrown off of everything over here and this song has been stuck in my head. Also, it has two really good artists in one song. This is Lykke Li’s take on [...]
Greetings from Down Under. Across the sea in Melbourne it will be hard to stay on top of my TerrapinSound game, but I figure I’d throw you guys some Australian music from time to time. To start we’ll go with a band from Sydney that is already making a splash in the United States: The [...]

Guitar wiz Joe Satriani claims Coldplay took the melody and chord progression of his song “If I Could Fly,” and simply dumped the guitar. After hearing the two songs together, I personally think he has [...]
I think this might be my favorite song of 2008. I don’t know why but everywhere I go this song is stuck in my head. Maybe cause it’s amazing, who knows. Anyway, this is Fancy Footwork from Chromeo’s latest album of the same name. I’ll be impressed if you haven’t started dancing by the end [...]
