1MM: Sebastien Tellier @ Hiro Ballroom, 7.30.08
Photos by Andrew Parks We’re still not sure what we witnessed at Sebastien Tellier‘s Sexuality-shilling show last night (an elaborate, electro-shocked cabaret act? seduction via mimed guitar solos and pre-recorded Daft Punk beats?). What we do know is Tellier sure knows how to put on a show for a packed house. Find out more about […]
BUY IT: Takka Takka, Migration
By Aaron Richter As we all know by now, new releases hit record-store shelves and digital-download services each Tuesday. That’s why self-titled presents the following every week: a new release you’d be stupid not to own (Buy It), one worth checking out if you’re the curious type (Burn It) and something you might have heard […]
Twittering For TV on the Radio
So Wired‘s excellent Julia Allison cover story got the self-titled office thinking the other day … If a minor Internet celebrity can keep the public enthralled through ridiculously personal Twitter posts, why can’t we mainline live rumors and reviews to our readers? Presenting s/t‘s Twitter stream–the place to go when you’re wondering what’s going on […]

[myspacetv 39544146] While K.I.M. of The Presets already told self-titled everything we need to know about Australia (remember, koalas are not cuddly; they’re STD-ridden), we couldn’t help but share the latest music video from Apocalypso. In the capable hands of some directorial duo named Jonas & François, “Talk Like That” is turned into a creepy […]
NOT ENOUGH DJS: Soulwax Toast the Lost Art of Mixing
Soulwax is mostly known for their genre-jumping alter ego 2 Many DJs, so like most people, self-titled had low expectations for their live stateside debut a few years back. Actually, let’s be honest: We went just so we could see their DJ set afterwards. And you know what? The living, breathing version of Soulwax didn’t […]
1MM: Spiritualized @ Terminal 5, 7.27.08
Photos by Andrew Parks self-titled‘s love for Spiritualized is no secret. After all, we devoted three pages to cross-examining J. Spaceman in the opening spread of our first issue. The thing is, though, we haven’t seen the guy live since Spiritualized’s tour with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club seven years ago. A lot has happened since […]
