03.16.11Stream NME’s Classic C86 Mixtape on its 25th anniversaryTo mark the 25th anniversary of the cassette that launched a genre, Test Pressing is streaming NME’s C86 Mixtape. When C86 was originally released, I remember thinking many of these bands were sappy copycats, neutering my old post-punk favorites like the Bunnymen and The Cure. Little did I know these youngsters would spawn all the indie pop that I love today in my 40's! Check out a nice 25th anniversary reflection over at The Quietus. Track Listing after the jump...

01.13.11Stream: Best Coast, “When You Wake Up”The more things change, the more things stay the same. Bethany from Best Coast may have a boyfriend, but she's as endearingly anxious and clingy as ever. She wants to talk but he's asleep, needs to hear him say he loves her to feel assured before starting the day - even if it's patently false. Clearly Wavves is a late sleeper cause "it's always 11:30". Silly Bethany, don't you know that morning snuggles and chats are what cats are for? "When You Wake Up" is available via iTunes. Best Coast - "When You Wake Up" by Some Kind of Awesome

12.03.10New To Me: KaraocakeThe "Publicist" folder in my email program is a bit like my local thrift shop. New stuff is continually being added and I browse through a few times a week, sift through a ton of junk, always hoping to find that special something. Happily I found something this morning - Karaocake. Karaocake is Camille Chambon (vox, keyboard), Demotic AKA Stéphane Laporte (bass, guitar), Charlotte Sampling AKA Tom Gagnaire (keyboard, sampler). They're from Paris. The music is a melancholy smattering of lo-fi pop shot through with warbling slivers of psych. The song we've provided for download is "Eeeeerie." When I listen to it, ...

And that can come from anywhere: that can ...
