Tame Impala and ceo Make Stereogum's '40 Best New Bands of 2010' List
Just as summer's come to an end (in some places), Stereogum have taken it upon themselves to compile an extensive list of the '40 Best New Bands of 2010' in alphabetical order and featuring Modular's very own starlets Tame Impala and ceo. But this is no ordinary list - it comes complete with bonus mixtape, packing a 'side A' and 'B' for authenticity's sake.
Be sure to check out the list and score some the killer tunes, here.

#60: Tao Lin - 'Calmly [Various Adjectives], To Some Degree' Mixtape
Tao Lin (b. 1983) is the Brooklyn based poet/author responsible for last year's cult hit novella, Shoplifting From American Apparel. His anticipated second novel, Richard Yates, is due to be released by Melville House in September.
Tao: I've listened to variations of this mixtape the past 1-5 months while typing/editing things, discerning/organizing my career, walking on sidewalks/streets, buying groceries, Gmail chatting, drawing and exercising and drinking smoothies and packaging things in my room, sitting on [various things] in [various places] eating [various things], standing in [various places] waiting for [various things]. I would refer to the No-Cash and Miracle of '86 songs as "calmly out-of-control, to some degree" maybe. Other mixtapes by me can be viewed here (previous Modular mixtape), here (American Apparel), here (top 25 most-played).
The Swiss/Donnie Sloan Remix Annie
The Swiss get familiar with/offer a solid, yet refreshingly different, take on Norwegian electro-pop royalty Annie's huge 2009 tune, "Songs Remind Me Of You".
RCRDLBL featured the Swiss/Donnie Sloan remix last week in honour of the group's recent US visit, so head over there to nab it and make it yours.
