So, I think 2008’s off to a pretty good start musically. And one of the new acts that I can’t help feeling excited about is Looptron, a.k.a. Neil Sharkey, a laptop-with-guitars musician who’s just released his first EP. (Review forthcoming, as soon as it shows up in my mailbox.)
But in the meantime, please enjoy this super-brand-new track that’s now available for free download via Looptron’s website. It features vocals from Vicar’s Daughter (Sarah Rogers), the singer from London-based electro-soul outfit Moeker. I’m really liking this song so far, and I’m very much looking forward to listening to the full EP.

MP3 Download: Carbon / Silicon - Falun Gong love song
I’ve pretty much always been a fan of Mick Jones. No, not the lead singer of Foreigner. I’m speaking of course of the guitarist and sometimes vocalist of The Clash. I loved The Clash, as all true music fans should. I mostly liked Big Audio Dynamite. Hell, I even regularly listen to his wankiest project, BAD II, which, honestly, wasn’t really wanky at all.
So, in listening to Carbon / Silicon, I’ve already got a biased towards liking it purely because of Jones’ inolvement. C/S finds Jones pairing up with Sigue Sigue Sputnik’s synth bass guitarist, Tony James. The first reaction I had to hearing of this pairing was, ‘Wow, that’s a cool little collaboration they’ve got there.’ but my second reaction was: ‘Wait. I don’t know shit about Sigue Sigue Sputnik. In fact, other than that Love Missle song, I don’t think I know anything by them.’ And I’m willing to bet that’s true for most of you, too. That makes the fact that Jones is putting out new work at 52 years old truly the most thing interesting about this project.
Indie-pop darlings Rogue Wave have the release of their third album, Asleep at Heaven’s Gate, set for September 18th. This track, “Lake Michigan,” arrives in advance of it; have a listen, and consider it something of a teaser.
It took me a few plays to get into it. The song kind of reminds me of some of the more recent Snow Patrol stuff, or even of Keane — it’s got that kind of dreamy, crystalline sound to it. After three or four listens, I decided that I like it, but I’m curious to see if the new record has a few more uptempo tunes mixed in, the way their last two did. One track is nice, but it might be asking a lot of me to stay awake for a whole album of it.
