| A high energy closer from the damn near unclassifiable Los Angeles four-piece Shiny Toy Guns. Classifiable or not, these four pack a slew of high-strung genres into their songs and come out on the other side swinging. |
|
| |
 |
|
| It’s on like Donkey Kong! More new music from Dntel, who’s unloaded two new songs on SoundCloud. The first, 'Kids,' is a minimal techno stab, loopy and indulgent. 'Threaper' features a similar warbly approach as his recently released song “Cave Mouth.” |
|

Germany at that time. |

Radiohead - Kid A - Full Album |
| One of the classics. At a time when music had become stale, indie rock didn't rock, electronic music was transforming from its 90s alter-ego known as techno into a million different variants and the new millenium was upon us, Kid A emerged. |
|
| |
 |
|
| Post-rock indietronica band PVT have a new video for the song Homosapien, their third video with director Clemens Habicht. It uses stop-motion to animate glitch music with a video / film technique that's glitchy itself. |

| Reggae served up dub style ... heady vibes. Dub Club is Jamaican artist Tippa Lee Dub Club's Tom Chasteen (from a specialty night at the Echoplex in LA). It's everything that's great about dub sounds, the perfect rhythm, the keyboards and the guitar licks, the old formula never really seems to get old or out of style. |

|
| Both sides of the release are the same song, but Mr. Deacon has decided to highlight the drums by not only having two drummers on each track, but also in making the drummers different on each track: Kevin O'Meara and Jeremy Hyman on Side A and Denny Bowen and Dave Jacober on Side B. It's unbelievable. |
