Untapped Potential



Untapped Potential


Helio Sequence - "Lately" MP3
from the beautiful new Keep Your Eyes Ahead LP available on Sup Pop Records now.
The whole album is good, and should be added to your collection immediately. I saw these guys years ago opening up for Modest Mouse. They really blew the crowd away that night in Colorado Springs.

Robyn - "With Every Heartbeat" (Acoustic Version) MP3
New EP available now on Itunes.
What is it about this pop princess that makes us sweat her?
Seriously her shit is infectious. It sticks to the brain like peanut butter.
Taste her....

Lens - "Beyond the Shadows" (Moonbeam Remix) MP3
from the Markus Schulz: Amsterdam '08 compilation
Thanks for H and D for the heads up on this fantastic trance mix.
Do yourself a favor and pick it up.
