I love this flamethrower vs fire extinguisher battle royale, which comes our way via Laughing Squid (who note that the video "was shot almost entirely on a Phantom camera at 1000fps”). Super cool.

"Barnacled Warship" is the second single from Johnny Flynn's outstanding new album, Been Listening, and is one of my favourites. Directed by Christian DeVita, who has worked on the forthcoming Tim Burton movie Frankenweenie, this is one of the best videos I've seen in a long, long time. Go watch!
The single is released on 16 August via Transgressive Records. The vinyl edition comes with two poems specially recorded by Johnny for the release.

I'm so proud to live in a city with such an amazing, vibrant music scene. Denver doesn't exactly come to mind when people think of a booming music scene, but it absolutely is. Not only is the Mile High City a popular spot for national acts to hit, but there is a thriving community of local musicians that will blow your mind. I could easily fill my schedule with Colorado bands that I love alone. If you're not familiar with this, check out the Underground Music Showcase (UMS). Three hundred bands pack into twenty-five venues over four days to rock your world.
The UMS is a bit daunting, to me anyway. I spend more time than I probably should hopping from show to show without a festival environment. Thus is the blessing/curse of a "music journalist". I started out this year with a complex list, with highlighted acts, times, and locations that I had to see. The list of acts I missed is just as long, if not longer. Fitting in food, friends, shade, and even some sleep now and then narrows the list even more. Cameras and will-power in hand, I managed to see and hear quite a bit. Three days later (I only made a brief appearance on Thursday), I emerge bruised, battered, and exhausted but still very much in love with Denver and its sounds.
Speakeasy Tiger [full set]
I arrived around 6:00, just in time to catch a bit of Speakeasy Tiger's set. This band just got finished with a run on Warped Tour and I've been curious to see them for awhile now. They are very energetic and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

"Soulless" is full of energy and emotion; absolutely captivating and catching. This song is incredibly reafirming and sweet with lyrics like:
"I'll rearrange the room
the only thing I'll keep is you
I hope you'll realize
what you truly mean to me"
I'll be waiting eagerly to hear the entire album. Download the song for free in exchange for your e-mail address here or in the widget above.
Real Ghosts Caught On Tape is out September 21st on SideOneDummy.

I've been hearing this over and over on our beloved BBC 6 Music on a daily basis and I love it. How awesome do the keys sound? Pretty awesome. It's not hugely standout amongst music today but it's bloody Arcade Fire and this is incredibly polished Indie radio rock. How excited am I for the new album, The Suburbs released in the UK on August 2nd via Sonovox? I'd say fairly with a 'really really' thrown in for good measure.
Check it out below because I've not listened to a good piece of Indie music in a while.
