WMC is here are you ready?

Spring has finally sprung, and the weather is slowly but surely getting warmer (higher than 60's at night.) But the sign that Spring is officially here is that Winter Music Conference is upon us which of course culminates with Ultra Music Festival.) There are so many events happening around town, that I plan on skipping practically all of them this year (aside from a Panic Bomber show or 2.)For the first time in a very long time, I am going to attempt to lay low, but I love me some electronic music, and may decide to hit up Ultra at the last minute. For the time being I will be sharing the music of a few great acts I can't stop listening to.

Here's the initial lineup for Ultra Music Festival...hmm pretty sweet, but we shall see...





Who is MGMT?


For months music mags and bloggers have been clamoring for a hint of what Celebration the follow-up to MGMT's fantastically enjoyable Oracular Spectacular, would sound like. When the album leaked, well before it's April 13th release date, they decided to share it with the world at WHO IS MGMT? In the opening track the boys ask "How will I know if it's working?" While they're unsure, I certainly think it is, while at times it is reminiscent of The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds," & early Serge Gainsbourg, it is incredibly original and psychedelic. Please take a listen for yourself, and enjoy!
