This is what a JOrtzzzstarrr* looks like from outerspace
It was bound to happen...she is just too much of a sparky minx not to have a blogsite of her very own. And so came the day when JOrtzzzstarrr* ventured out on her own. Sort of. You can check up on our dear friend and three other PYT's* over at her new home FCBCnYC.

Dappled Cities 'Fly'

Hey Boys-how do you like nYc?
Dappled Cities otherwise known as 'Dappled Cities Fly' are the latest sensation to make their way out of Australia. The five bandmates, Hugh Boyce on drums, Dave Rennick on vocals, guitar and keys, Ned Cooke on keys and samples, Alex Moore on bass and Tim Derricourt on vocals, guitar and keys have left Sydney behind to tour with the likes of Tokyo Police Club and The Fratellis. Their album, 'Granddance' was released in 2006 and recently was released in the US on July 3rd via Dangerbird Records home to Sea Wolf, Silversun Pickups and fellow tourmates All Smiles. I must say, i haven't overwhelmingly enjoyed a band as much as i am enjoying them since Peter, Bjorn and John. 'Beach Song' happily reminded me of Depeche Mode or The Cure, timing in with that 80's electronic sound i love so much. The thing that is great about this band is each track sounds different adding an exciting element that keeps you interested and guessing where their next sound will come from. 'Watercourse' is a more mellow track with melodies similar to that of Band of Horses whereas 'Fire Fire Fire' is upbeat and jumpy. I am very curious to hear what their live show is like. Boudist has photos from some of their live shows in their local land. Meanwhile check out all of their upcoming tour dates listed below.

Harry Potter lures millions of Muggles

The fifth chapter of Harry Potter, Order of the Phoenix hit movie theatres world wide on Wednesday Morning at 12:00 AM. I saw people waiting in line when i was veturing out on my date with robots.

I was a bit sad because it was the first time i wasn't going to check out the latest Harry Potter flick at Midnight with all of my fellow Muggles. It appears that it still had quite the opening despite my absence. 12 million dollars to be exact. The Order of the Phoenix was such an amazing book and i sincerely hope the movie does it justice. With the likes of Helena Bonham Carter joining an already spledid cast i am sure it will. I am checking it out myself this weekend-so we shall see!

Thank you Stereogum

Thom is super sustainable
By now most of you have probably already checked this out-but just in case you haven't Stereogum was kind enough to invite some of our favorite artists to cover various Radiohead songs as a tribute for the 10th anniversary of OK COMPUTER. John in the Morning on KEXP already debuted Vampire Weekend and their version of 'Exit Music (for a Film)' but my personal favorite is My Brightest Diamond's version of 'Lucky.' Check out the rest here.

Robots in Diguise...

I went to see Transformers last night and i cannot stop talking about how AWESOME it was. Really. One of the best summer movies i have ever seen. Pure fun. I laughed, i loved, i cried...well i didn't cry, but you get the general picture-it is that good. The Transformers themselves were sick. Michael Bay has completely earned my respect. I was a little cautious after the first trailer i saw and was worried one of my favorite childhood memories would be ruined and turned into a total cheese fest. Not to worry- even though the story is a bit of a reach the visual effects are so much fun to watch that i think i liked the movie better than the cartoon...maybe. Oh and this guy isn't so shabby either. Hey, what can i say, i am a sucker for boys in Strokes t-shirts who fight off evil robots.

Ski Brooklyn wrote a really entertaining review which i quite enjoyed and also offers up an mp3 of the Transformer TV theme song. Love.
