September's installment of the Modular Monthly at the Basement Circular Quay will feature their latest signing to their swelling roster MSTRKRFT. Hoorah! A double hoorah is also in order, as October's shows will see Modular vs DFA, with The Juan McLean playing a DJ set and Beats In Space deck-rider Tim Sweeny coming out to play. Go to www.modularpeople.com for more information.
I like my rock of the Post variety, so hearing an Australian band like All India Radio bringing the spirit of Post-Rock to the table with some stunning electronicly-tinged strings, smooth down-tempo rhythms and subtle guitar licks makes for a very satisfying experience. The band have been around forever (since 1999 actually), and only recently released a new album entitled 'Echo Other'. After one listen of this band I was hooked.

Last week I failed to note the passing of a music legend, former Love frontman Arthur Lee. Plenty has already been said about the man and when listening to some of the music Lee and Co. created, in particular the 1967 album 'Forever Changes', it is not hard to see why he will be sorely missed. Tracks like 'Alone Again Or' and 'You Set The Scene' are probabaly lyrically and musically the most stunning pieces of music ever written.
