Boss Stuff on the Interwebs: Wednesday Links 02/03/11
- So....did some Coke bottle merchandise, eh?... Yeah, I'm sorry, but you're Daft fucking Punk, not Jar Jar Binks. You did not need to do this. (See them at Stereogum)
- "What happens when you merge a little darkness with the Pogues. Yes. Cult Of Youth is the answer." --Indie Kid vs Dance Kid.
- The Strokes' website has a to-the-second countdown clock for the new album. That's a shame. I thought they were cooler than that. What is cool? Their new video for Under the Cover of Darkness. Fell in Love with a Drummer has it.
- Neon Filler continues their cracker jack list of the top 100 indie/alternative albums of all time. This week: 80-71 (and Neutral Milk Hotel is in there).
- If you've been excited for the new Dum Dum Girls EP, Bowlegs has listened and says you're right on. Good news.
- Holyfuckingshit40000 takes a loving look back at my favourite Pavement album of all time. Yeah. I needed that.
- Because I'm having a really miserable day today. But Sam Friend writes folkish, pop-rock melodies of the kind that make you feel better. So I'm gonna go do that now. I'll be at Off The Radar if you need me.

If You Like: The Strokes, The Libertines, Arctic Monkeys
If you like:
-Arctic Monkeys
-Hot Hot Heat
-The Libertines
-The Strokes
Try:
The Haznauts
Citing The Strokes as a major musical influence, they're bound to draw comparison to the type of bands known for their enthusiastic enuui, like the Libertines and Arctic Monkeys. It's punkish indie rock with the kind of non-stop energy that makes you want to be a drummer. Or a speed freak. But there's something else there, a heated intensity that sets them apart. With their riotous guitar riffs and in-your-face vocals, there's almost a glimpse of early-90s metal-rock a la Faith No More. It's not a combination you'd think to try but it goes down well.
They're currently in Nashville recording their first EP. I for one will be looking forward to it. And if you're anywhere near them in the next few months, do what you can to check out a live show. Something tells me it would be a good one.Stalk online on their reverbnation (infinitely better than myspace--why does that still exist?), facebook, and website

The Coachella Lineup is Out. Oh No, Wait--This is Bonnaroo. Fair Mistake.
Or maybe you just got deja vu? Because this is a lot like Coachella. I'm not saying that's good, and I'm not saying that's bad. But I am saying that the festival you pick is more or less down to whether you'd rather see Eminem and Florence and the Machine or Kanye West and Kings of Leon.
Frankly, it makes little difference to me because I know for a fact I cannot go to either. Stupid facts....they think they're so smart... I'm hoping Osheaga will make it up to me. Fingers crossed.
