Finding good music can be hard as hell

Do you ever find yourself in fear of the “hottest new single” on the radio, instinctively bashing your head against the nearest wall (or car window, depending on location)? This week I came across what I (in my humble opinion) believe to be one of the best record labels on the planet. It’s called Modular (Australia). Their roster is sickening. Check this---

• The Avalanches


• The Bang Gang Deejays


• Blues Explosion


• Bumblebeez


• Chromeo


• Colder


• Cut Copy


• Eine Kleine Nachtmusik


• Ghostwood


• Jack Johnson


• Gary Jules


• K.I.M.


• Klaxons


• Ladyhawke


• MSTRKRFT


• Muscles


• New Young Pony Club


• Plug-In City


• The Presets


• Robyn


• The Softlightes


• Soulwax


• Tame Impala


• The Tough Alliance


• Van She


• The Whitest Boy Alive


• Wolfmother


• Yeah Yeah Yeahs


• Leave Them All Behind

In particular, check out Ladyhawke. She’s “a lady, not a band” who is ripping up the states right now. She basically sounds like a teenage girl who has been holed up in her room for years playing Nintendo and decided to come out and play synth. With her… kittens?

I’m a sucker for anything with synth and kittens. Check it. Don’t forget to MODCAST!

Ps… I’m by no means against the “radio single”… it just gets old sometimes! ;)
