Download: Bumblebeez - "Misfit"
The Bumblebeez are a brother/sister sucker punch unlike any other. No messin'. Though they've been fittingly described as "musical coleslaw", this delicious description is somewhat of an understatement once their back catalogue and erratic brilliance live has been experienced/witnessed.
While Chris Colonna has recently donned his producer hat and helmed the controls on the highly imaginative new Wolf & Cub record, he's managed to find some time to drop an exclusive track for the V Raw project, entitled "Misfit". Made on his Nintendo DSi using the Korg DS software with vox and drums (via the system's inbuilt audio player), the crunchy little 8-bit banger is now out in the ether for all and sundry to absorb.

Video: Wolfmother - "Back Round" (Live at the LA Natural History Museum)
All work and no play make Wolfmother a dull band, so to speak. So to combat any studio-induced cabin fever while recording the upcoming album, Cosmic Egg, the boys stepped out to the LA Natural History Museum to play a very special gig. Watch them play the new tune "Back Round" and keep your eyes peeled, you might even learn something.

As you may have heard, Andrew Stockdale dropped the bomb last week revealing that the Wolfies' second record will be given the very mystical title of Cosmic Egg, named after a Yoga position. Of course.

Modular Signs Canyons
Tip your hats and say hello to Modular's newest family members, the DJ/producer duo Leo Holiday and Ryan Sea-mist, better known as the collective unit, Canyons.
Hailing from Perth but now calling Sydney home, Canyons are more "cool older step-brother" than "creepy uncle" and have been causing ripples in the house music pond with their unique flavour of eclectic genre-defying tunes.
#30: Dreamtime - Music For Airports, Planes, Trains and Buses
For the last 3 weeks I've been forced to float around Europe thanks to some immigration issues keeping me from my new home in London. A lot of this time has been spent shuffling between airports, planes, trains, buses, hotels, friends flats and footpaths, in Paris, Rome, Gothenburg and Stockholm.

#29: Magic Happens - Use Your Illusionist
From a young age Magic learnt the values of drawing a line in the sand without putting all your eggs in one basket. After initially falling in amongst a rag-tag bunch of misfits with nothing to lose and something to prove, a youthful Magic Happens would soon reach a point of inconsolable disillusion and eventually come to formulate his own system of beliefs and ideals, ultimately arriving at the notion of doing what's best for the party.

Listen: The Tough Alliance - "Hung Up On A Dream"
From the misty highlands of Sweden, the bat wielding, lip synching, genre bending whores that are The Tough Alliance smash us with a new joint for our friday freebie. This cover of The Zombies' hit "Hung Up On A Dream" is sweeter than a fistful of fairy floss delivered by a friendly liger.

#28: Canyons
On a lazy Friday afternoon, the newly signed Canyons boys, Ryan and Leo, entered the Modular boardroom to lay down some of their favourite disco jams alongside some "mic breaks", resulting in some fairly hilarious calls. Best listened on a sunny afternoon, shirts-off, with an ice-cold jug of Pimms.
