Big Sonic Heaven Radio
How ironic! The man responsible for thee loudest show I've ever been to in my life (My Bloody Valentine @ Santa Monica Civic Center on October 1st & 2nd of 2008) has logged a complaint about a bar in his neighborhood that could make too much noise. Laughing out loud I am! No but seriously, I do get it. I live in Hollywood and it ain't exactly quiet here most […]
Wow! I can't believe it sometimes. How did Last Splash by The Breeders get to be 20 years old so fast? I remember driving around in my black Volkswagen GTI listening to that on my pull-out Alpine stereo. Do you remember those? It wasn't just the faceplate that came off, it was the whole frickin' stereo and then you had to carrying it around with you. Luckily Case Logic made […]
It's here! Above The City, the new Club 8 album. Last month we posted the new video for the single "Stop Taking My Time" and now it's time to hear the whole darn thing. If you buy it that is, which you can do here. Above The City, 14 songs in all, is available on CD, vinyl and digitally. The 180 gram vinyl is a limited edition of 500 copies […]
Ahhh! My favorite record label of all-time! 4AD. I used to go to the record store weekly to buy new releases and my first question to the record store owner/clerk (whom knew me by name) was, "Anything new on 4AD this week?" Or, I already knew something new was coming out and I was there waiting for them to unpack their deliveries. Keep in-mind, this was all pre-internet and cellphone […]
Dark and beautiful Shoegaze. That's Whirr. Formerly called Whirl, they're about to release About, their second EP to date. Their first, Pipe Dreams, garnered them some My Blood Valentine and Slowdive comparisons which definitely got my attention. "Swoon" is the first track released from About where I'm hearing little touches of Ride and Cocteau Twins influence in there as well as the aforementioned MBV and Slowdive. I'm diggin' it. About […]
Camera Obscura will be releasing their fifth studio album, Desire Lines, on June 3rd.

There have been two singles released so far from the new album, "Do It Again" and "Fifth In Line To The Throne". Hear what Camera Obscura’s Tracyanne Campbell says about the new […]
Thom Yorke and Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack have teamed up to score the new documentary, The UK Gold. The documentary is about tax evasion in England and a vicar who challenges the British tax system. It's directed by Mark Donne and narrated by Dominic West and is premiering in London at the Troxy Theatre on June 25th where it is rumored that Thom Yorke will perform.
Brooklyn based Small Black released their second album to date last Tuesday. Their catalog goes back to 2009 and includes one EP, two singles and one mixtape. They also did a split album with Washed Out in 2010. Cred! I've been spinning "Free At Dawn" for a couple months now at my gigs here in LA with a great response. Check it out for yourself below and buy the album […]

The episode, which will feature new, original music by Sigur Rós, as well as […]
Live from Los Angeles it's Big Sonic Heaven and The Hallucinations! OK, maybe we're not live but this is Big Sonic Heaven and we are in Los Angeles listening to the High EP by The Hallucinations. Yep, it's their first and I like it! If you're a Jesus and Mary Chain, BRMC, Mazzy Star, A Place To Bury Strangers, Raveonettes, etc. fan, I think you'll like 'em. Take a view […]
