James Yuill is a British Folktronic musician that shares a deep love for Sufjan Stevens, Nick Drake, Radiohead as well as all the bang-tastic bloghaus producers/DJs, quite an indietastic package. I enjoy his cover of Radiohead’s “Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box”. The first time I heard James Yuill on A-Trak’s Infinity +1 mixtape, the very last track, a re-edit by Prins Thomas of “This Sweet Love”, a very introspective and chill way to end a mix. James Yuill will be opening for the sold out Phoenix showat Hoxton Bar and Kitchen, 4.23.2009 in London.

Phoenix was amazing on SNL last night. They got to play 3 songs too! Phoenix is definitely trying hard to win over the American market. The drummer is such a beast.

Also sorry all you international readers, HULU can only be streamed in Uhmerica. U-S-A! Uhmerica.us

UPDATE: For all you international readers check out the performances on Youtube after the jump. Thanks @samisateenager

Allure is what this French electronic music scene now, a very musical and subtle sound that I feel Breakbot will be leading in the near future. Allure has this 70s funky musical sensibility by way of Steely Dan/Hall & Oates/Boz Scaggs (Oh so smooth) with that disco early French touch vibe. Also Allure is definitely channeling that Serge Gainsbourg classiness. I will be watching out for this young gentlemen.

Your typical Justice production and Justice sound. I wonder how much Justice charged for this remix. This is just an example of U2 trying to stay relevant in these changing times. I like that synth part right before the chorus, very 70s, Reading Rainbow sounding.
