Polly Scattergood - "Please Don’t Touch"; There are worse things in the world then watching this Polly Scattergood video that’s for damn sure. With just her lovely self and her adorable voice she makes this video pop off the screen.

Video: Depreciation Guild - Nautilius
I was really excited to see 8 bit shoegazers The Depreciation Guild tonight when they play with super-hyped, big-thing-for-next-2-months The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart at The Middle East tonight. But you know what? I am too goddamn tired to go to that show. 2 shitty nights sleep, waking up early, and two long days of work make me have almost zero desire to go out tonight. So instead, I present...

First up we get Egyptian Hip-Hop, a very young bunch of Mancunian lads who touch on any number of musical trends, without really seeming...
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart + caUSE co-MOTION + The Depreciation Guild | Mercury Lounge | 2.07.2009
The word "twee" gets thrown around a lot when talking about The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.

Not the way, say, Cheeseburger rocks, but singer Kip keeps his guitar in buzzsaw mode and the...
