New digital single from Muir Moor. This single is part of an awesome concept project from Fake Flamingo Records. Here’s what the project is all about:

“Conceived in 2011 as a response to the current phenomena of selling an artist’s identity rather than their music. The goal … more is to release a digital single each week, created by an artist working under a pseudonym. As an added bonus, when the proceeds reach $1K, a limited edition 12″ vinyl record will be pressed and 100 people who actually paid for their downloads will receive the record for free.”

I think it’s a great idea, and I fully support this project. I’m looking forward to hearing more. So far, Fake Flamingo has released 2-song digital singles from Garnett Jackson, VBZ, Puerto Pobre and Sunday Morning Jazz Club (who are all artists you’ve most likely heard of under their “regular” names). You can stream and buy these singles at the Fake Flamingo Records Bandcamp page.

1980 single from British synth pop outfit Landscape. Their singer, Richard James Burgess, not only produced recordings by Adam Ant and Spandau Ballet, he co-designed the first electronic drum set, the Simmons SDS-V. This track has a bit of an Ultravox / Gary Numan vibe to it, which is something I love about it.

I don’t really know anything about Micro Naps other than that they’re from the Bay Area, and that they recently released this split EP with Powwoww on Tundra Dubs. Also, I know that it’s good.

More greatness from the Minimal Wave catalog. This time around, it’s Martin Lloyd of Oppenheimer Analysis. From his 4-song EP L’amant Electronique.

Fockewulf 190 were a Human League-Ultravox-Kraftwerk-inspired Italian duo who were most active in the 80′s, although as recently as 2010, they released a cover of the classic Kraftwerk track “The Model.” They take their name from a WWII German fighter jet.

Canada’s Gobble Gobble no longer performs or releases music under this name. They have since changed their name to Born Gold. Either way, their music is hard to describe. Have a listen.

Toronto’s Digits smooths out fellow Torontonians Madrid‘s track “Bam Bam Brother” from last year’s Original Message LP. I love this stuff.

Some Aphex Twin-esque electronic music from Denmark’s Delayscape. Delayscape’s Morse Disco release is a double disc, and it’s chock full of greatness.

Bill Wyman is best known as the bassist for the Rolling Stones from 1962-1992. In 1982, he released his self-titled third album, which spawned this minor hit.

From the new Fulgeance LP To All of You, which recently came out on Melting Pot Music. A while back, I posted this French producer’s remix of Architeq‘s “Birds of Prey,” which is just as great as this.
