Moscow Olympics "Still" 7" out now!

I hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas! I had a great one and got to be home all week with my family, which was nice. I'm bummed that it's over because I love Christmas and everything that comes with it, but I still have some other fun things to look forward to. For instance – Moscow Olympics' first 7" is finally released on Fraction Discs! I just ordered it moments ago, using my precious Christmas money, and I will be marking the days until it arrives! I mentioned them here, before, if you're unfamilair with them, but if you've heard them already, then you're probably on your way to Fraction Discs to order it! The 7" single features the incrediblely incredible track "Still," with "Talk Like This" on the b-side. Oh, and included with the record is a code that allows you to download the songs in MP3 format – hooray!

GET GOING!

I said I was gonna start doing mixes more often, so here we go, another one. I'm particularly proud of this one because I think it flows quite well, and as the cover says, it's very good for a nice walk in the cold morning air. Note that the effect of this mix can be enhanced even more so if it happens to still be dark outside and there is a touch of low-lying fog. If the title of the mix doesn't ring a bell to you immediately, then it surely will by the time you finish it. Um, I guess I don't have anything else to say, I'll let the songs speak for themselves. Enjoy, please!

Indiepop On Youtube 1

Embedded youtube vids are back!

So, right, I used to do this before, but I kind of forgot about it and stopped keeping it up. The reason I'm formally bringing it back is because it gave me the opportunity to make a new graphic for it, and never do I miss a chance to make a new graphic! There's some real good one's this week, make sure you watch them all! Also be advised that every video may not fall directly under "indiepop," but what's a genre anyway?

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart :: A Teenager In Love [2007]


Moscow Olympics :: Second Trace [2007]

Moscow Olympics

Just a quick post real quick before I run off to class, but I just had to mention this! Sweden's Fraction Discs label has just announced they will be releasing the debut 7" from the very excellent Philippine dreampop band Moscow Olympics! Moscow Olympics take the swirling, ringing guitars of late 80s shoegaze and mix it with the sweet melodies of Sarah Records-era indiepop, creating a fantastic dreampop sound that you would swear Bobby Wratten had a hand in. The single will feature the amazing track, "Still" on the a-side and previously unheard track, "Talk Like This" on the b-side. I've never mentioned the band before because I've got no songs to post for you, but I urge you to go over their myspace and listen to the demos they have up. Then I think you'll realize why I'm so excited!

Listen to Moscow Olympics on MySpace!
