Wish I Lived in Australia

Modular Records, the home to luminaries such as Avalanches, The Presets, Cut Copy. New Young Pony Club, Klaxons, Van She, Ladyhawke and more, turns 10! This is going to be amazing. I kind of really do wish I lived in Australia. The event plays Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth in December. Tickets are almost sold out, so Australians get with it and get your tix now!

"NEVEREVERLAND is the musical wet dream Australia this December to celebrate Modular notching up double digits and turning ten. With The mighty, mighty Presets, the neo-awesome knights Klaxons, latte legends Cut Copy, DFA darlings Hercules And Love Affair and the rest of the completely bonkers line-up, NEVEREVERLAND will whisk you to a place beyond your brain’s limits, where the inescapable aural ecstasy is unimaginable."

CMJ Music Marathon - NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB - 'Get Lucky', MUSCLES - "Guns Babes Lemonade"

The CMJ Music Marathon kicks off today in NYC and I will be catching a few shows - Deerhunter, Dan Deacon, White Williams, No Age, M.I.A., Justice, Midnight Juggernauts - and hopefully some of the day time and late night showcases. One show I will sadly not be going to is the Thursday night Modular party at Studio B with Muscles, The Cool Kids and New Young Pony Club. I'm sure it will be insane, but I opted for M.I.A. instead.

New Young Pony Club has a new video for 'Get Lucky'. Their album is available now on Modular.

Muscles' long-awaited debut "Guns Babes Lemonade" hits stores on October 23 via Modular. His recent single 'Ice Cream' was declared the 2007 summer jam of the year by Gorilla vs. Bear. The new video for the album's opening track 'Sweaty' is below.

NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB - "Fantasic Playroom"

Though it doesn't officially come out until August 28th, you can digitally purchase the debut full length from NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB on iTunes now. The album is titled "Fantastic Playroom" and the first single will be the re-release of 'Ice Cream', not to be confused with the MUSCLES summer jam 'Ice Cream'.

NYPC also have a remix of AMY WINEHOUSE's 'Tears Dry On Their Own' floating around. The band calls it "...a very danceable Grace Jones-esque style workout..." Sounds fun. Anybody heard it yet?

MUSCLES

If you are reading about MUSCLES for the first time here, you really need to read more music blogs. This guy has been all over the place for the last six months, largely because of his breakthrough track 'Ice Cream', which Gorilla Vs. Bear declared the "2007 summer jam of the year".

The latest track to make the blog rounds is 'One Inch Badge Pin' and it is just as good, if not better. Catch up now on what was kinda cool a few months ago, but will be huge in the future.
