LISTEN UP: Are You Bloody Serious?Finally, a rumor about My Bloody Valentine reuniting! Maybe Jeff Mangum and the Talking Heads will join them onstage, and during the encore, David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen will come out and play "Panama" then make out. (You Ain't No Picasso) Hmm, it actually sounds like My Bloody Valentine really is going to make another record together. Still, I'm not counting my loud, distorted eggs before they harmonize. (Hate Something Beautiful). How do you make an indie pop band? Take some Camera Obscura, mix in some Stereolab, add a pinch of Go-Gos and some Human League... voila! Hearts of Palm UK. (The Devil Has The Best Tuna) Resonator Magazine describes these Glass Candy mp3s as being "so 70’s ice cream psychedelic jam it makes me want to strut around in rJamz’s skates acting a fool." It is one of the most accurate descriptions of a set of songs that I have ever heard. I wish I could say I had a stronger position on the great M.I.A. debate -- everyone seems to love her or hate her, but I think she's just kind of cool n' whatever. Mmmm, yummy baby bear porridge...not taking any sides... (Culture Bully)
