New Samaim, CYHSY Cancel Aussie Tour

Big bummer to those who were heading down to Rebel Rebel and/or Splendour in the Grass to catch Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!. They have cancelled their entire Australian tour for some reason.



STREAM: New Samiam - 'Take Care' & 'Do You Want To Be Loved'

These guys Samiam have been around forever making some pretty solid pop/emo/punk for the legendary swedish label Burning Heart. The guys released a decent LP back in 2000 and then disappeared off the face of the earth, but now they have rediscovered the passion, hired a new bass player and a new album is in the can ready for a September release. From the sound of the new tracks they have gone back to a more straight up pop-punk aesthetic this time around and is really quite infectious.




Pfork this morning reviewed an album by an artist known as Girl Talk aka Greg Gillis and raved about it, and from their aural descriptions of his compostitions I just had to check this stuff out. This guy that makes some incredible bootlegs sampling a broad spectrum of artists such as Ciara, LCD Soundsystem, 50 Cent, Neutral Milk Hotel, M.I.A and Kanye West. The results are frenetic and surprisingly cohesive, forging a unique Pop-Hip-Hop-Electro-Whatever fusion. Yeti Don't Dance have some Girl Talk mp3's for download here.
