She & Him - Volume Two

Well the New Zealand Summer is well and truely out-of-here. That means more time in the home studio listening to tunes, reading books and blogs, drinking mulled wine and hangin’ on the radio.

Here’s what’s new on the Starlifter Wireless.

Artists – Song – Release – Website
She & Him – In The Sun – Volume Two (LP) – http://www.sheandhim.com
The Mint Chicks – Say Goodbye – Bad Buzz (EP) – http://www.themintchicks.com
Tame Impala – Desire Be Desire Go – InnerSpeak (LP) – http://www.tameimpala.com
No Aloha – Where To Be – Home Demos – http://noaloha.bandcamp.com [FREE DOWNLOAD]

I’ve been listening to the She & Him album constantly for the last month, it’s 50/60s motown girlie group pop with a modern take. The Mint Chicks latest EP Bad Buzz comes on a USB that you can buy from www.musichy.pe – the song I’ve uploaded from that EP is also on the 60s pop tip, albeit a bit fuzzed up. The latest Tame Impala LP is AMAZING! Think Cream, Led Zep, The Beatle with a dash of LSD, YUMMY. And of course, No Aloha. This is the second song from their demo ep that I’ve added to Starlifter. They’re Christchurch boys doing the melodic rock thing, I’m really looking forward to more from these guys.


Starlifter Classic:
Garageland – Nude Star  - Last Exit To Garageland (LP)

Garageland were one of my favourite kiwi bands in high school. ‘Nude Star’ is from their debut LP, ‘Last Exit to Garageland’. It’s a spacie psych-rock number and great for rainy days.


This is NOT the sound of New Zealand Music Month…

This is NOT the Christchurch sound - Vol. 1

This is NOT the Christchurch sound - Vol. 1

Well it kind of is. I just thought I’d be a little controversial with my post heading. It’s NZ Music Month here in NZ so I thought I’d play some NZ music on Starlifter Radio. Actually that’s not true either, the kiwi tunes I’m playing on my little internet radio station are getting played because they’re fucking great and I’m really diggin’ them at the mo.

To start off with I’ve got the original “This is NOT the Christchurch sound” CD. It features songs on the Indie Rock to Electro spectrum from bands and artists such as Ed Muzik, Tom Cosm, Break Mission Kills, Charlie ASH, Pig Out, Get Set Play, The L.E.D.s, Tiger Tones, 5 1/2 Minutes, Electro Pussy Posse and more. We released it with RDU 98.5 FM in June 2007 to get some attention for all the local acts we thought deserved a little more attention.

Then we have my latest DJ mix ‘Interstella Week Beats Your Intergalactic Year”, a set containing electronic beats and grooves from LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk, DIM, Uberzone, The Future Sound of London, Vinyl Life & Joey Beltram, Rocha + Lewinger, Underworld and Telefon Te Aviv.

And further on the Christchurch tip we’ve got tracks from Bang! Bang! Eche!, Hypercolour, No Aloha; Auckland cats Bandicoot; and Ex-Dunners now AK kats (I think) Brains.

There is also the latest from School of Seven Bells, these guys are amazing!

So that’s the go, there’s heaps more on there as well so be sure to tune into www.StarlifterRadio.com and get down with your bad elf.

Loud Rock, Rickity Thieves, and Rock-Pop-Tones!

Published on April 20, 2010 in Setlist, StarlifterRadio.com, internet radio and radio. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , .

The latest to be added to Starlifter Radio is a raucous rock mix of new and not-so-new.

Just added:
Shout Out Louds – four by four
Thieves – comfort creature – Auckland, NZ – http://thievesss.bandcamp.com
Tiger Tones – i love you but i hate you (but i’m just not sure) – Christchurch, NZ – http://www.myspace.com/thetigertones
LCD Soundsystem – drunk girls
White Denim – shake shake shake
Dum Dum Girls – jail la la – http://www.subpop.com/cybersex
Golden Triangle – neon noose – http://www.subpop.com/cybersex

‘Four by Four’ is my favourite from the new album, ‘Work’, from Swedish Pop-rock group, ‘Shout Out Louds’. ‘Thieves’ from Dunedin is a band I’ve just stumbled upon, they’ve got a late 90s / early 2000s indie rock sound to them and definitely worth checking out. Christchurch outfit ‘Tiger Tones’ have just moved to Auckland and this is a classic dance floor number from them. The latest from the ‘LCD Soundsystem’ has just hit the blogo’ and ‘Drunk Girls’ is the first single, check it! I LOVE the buzz of ‘White Denim’ from Austin, Texas, ‘Shake Shake Shake’ is one of those tunes that gets my toe tapping and makes me what to dance, glorious! And finally there’s two from the latest Sub Pop Cybersex sampler, a free legal download and North-West indie pop-rock at it’s best.

There’s the goss! Check it out, tune into StarlifterRadio.com and Hit Play Zucker!!!

Peace,
