Active since: 1998 Members: Ben Jacobs; a whole bank of electronic doodads. Latest release: 2008’s zany Parallax Error Beheads You, which took six years to make. Why you care: Ben Jacobs—who records, sings, and dances under the much-more-fun-sounding alias Max Tundra—is like a pint-sized mix of Aphex Twin’s Richard D. James and Scritti Politti’s Green Gartside. Since debuting...
Sebastien Tellier 's Sexual Sportswear album was, in a word, succulent, so we can understand–nay, appreciate–the milking of it for one last 12-inch.

Darkcloud wrote a new blog post: Babylon The Great The Mother Of Prostitutes It is now 3:03 PM Saturday afternoon. I stopped watching the Ohio & Michigan college football game because Ohio was winning. I remember the days when Michigan was a powerhouse college football team. Now Michigan sucks. I am down in our basement writing in my private diary and listening to the music of Aphex Twin. The...
We're down for this white-label. There's charm in the no-name, no-label no-BS tracks; they're perfectly content to exist in obscurity: no flashiness, no waving of banners. It's just a track to find and appreciate on it's own merit. Well here's one, which I, admittedly, gave a listen to because it's obviously a dubstep remix (because [...]

Not only is Three Trapped Tigers a successful book by Cuban writer Guillermo Cabrera Infante, it is also a slightly less famous post-rock trio from London, UK. It definitely says something about them that they are touring with post-rock pioneers 65daysofstatic , as if their glitchy techno beats and Aphex Twin inspired IDM electronica didn't say enough. You definitely cannot fault their work ethic either...
