Smart Append to id3 tag in iTunes for Mac
After searching for some multi-tagging solutions for iTunes, I was able to make my own script to get “smart” appends and prepend capabilities to any tags for selected mp3s in my library. My free applescript (download below) is based off of Doug’s basic append to tag feature, but is customized to add a tag only...
Beach House’s 2012 single “Lazuli”
Beach House’s new release is a month away from being released, but I caught this track available in the German version of Amazon. It’s more layered and polished than earlier songs they’ve done in that it’s less of the lo-fi and more atmospheric studio sound with added production. It’s still dreamy, bright, and contemplative- staying...

Active Child in Female Form?
As we get further away from the 80s, we get more music that draws from it. And it’s usually hit or miss. So I will cut to the chase and let you know that Zola Jesus’ Sea Talk is quite the synthed ballad of pure retro-electro chamber pop. And why does Active Child get mentioned...

February Love Jams
These are the songs that filled our musical hearts with love. Bon Iver & St. Vincent- Roslyn Ever wondered what a Bon Iver & St. Vincent collaboration would sound like? Well, this song provides an answer–it sounds like Bon Iver, with a little extra reverb, but mostly it just sounds like classic Bon Iver. It...
Last.fm no longer Free for iPhones & Mobile devices
Curse the day when you must pay and subscribe for last.fm. You now have the unpriviledge to pay $3 a month for streaming, ad-free tunes. I think I am going to be streaming my own mp3s from my iPhone from now on, or resorting to Pandora if I want to hear fresh tunes, although I...
“The XX Gon’ Give it to Ya” Delivers
The Hood Internet mashup, “The XX Gon’ Give it to Ya,” is a mash made in heaven. It is the perfect blend of DMX and The XX on so many levels. Not only does it offer an amusing play on words, but The XX instrumentals also blend in perfectly with DMX’s harsh voice. The song...

November Turkey Tunes
Apparently we were too busy stuffing our faces with turkey to upload our monthly tune recommendations for November. Then finals came along, and then our…okay no more excuses. The point is, we were bad. If you will forgive us, please take this rocking playlist as a token of our apology. Jimmy Fallon (as Neil Young)...
Environmental Typography in Motion with Softlightes and Kris Moyes
This great stop-motion music video for the song “Heart Made of Sound” is a delightful pairing of music with the lyrics visually composing the music video visuals. It is a synchronized animation of type and other animated effects, like the drum-beat paper toss introduction. The music is charming. The singer has got a voice similar...
“All Day” mixed review of Girl Talk
The illegal music sampling of Gregg Gillis has continued. The new e-mix came out this month and I was able to throw my ears at it on its day of release despite the slammed computer servers. Girl Talk now has mirror downloads that should let anybody have a listen to his album-length of recomposed pop...
