“Milkshake” – Holy Fuck

By Adam Soldinger • Mar 4th, 2009 • Category: Song of the Day, The Wire

What’s going on in Canada?  Our neighbors to the north have given us yet another band who likes to play with toys…known simply (and quite terribly) as Holy Fuck.  This time, not only are we greeted with toy keyboards as with their fellow countrymen, Sunset Rubdown, but also a cacophany of toy phaser guns and [...]



“The Crystal Cat” – Dan Deacon

By Adam Soldinger • Jan 22nd, 2009 • Category: Song of the Day, The Wire

This is not a joke. You ever wonder what would happen if that balding, overweight janitor from high school was secretly spending his time at home experimenting with synthesizers and MIDI’s, only to emerge 10-15 years later as somewhat of a cult hero in the electronic music scene?

“I Come From San Francisco” – Gold Chains

Switching gears for a second and going for something more electronic than most of the songs I post about here. Cut Copy comes from Australia and, like their fellow countrymen Wolfmother, were discovered by the good folks over at Modular, which is now part of Interscope Records. This track is a highlight from [...]



“Motivator” – Midwest Product

By Adam Soldinger • Dec 15th, 2008 • Category: Song of the Day, The Wire

As you might expect, Midwest Product is from…well, the midwest. This Michigan-based trio never got much attention and their MySpace page says their last login was in ‘06, so I’d be surprised if they’re still making music. It’s really too bad because there just doesn’t seem to be enough bands bridging the gap [...]
