Earlier that day, at the pop up shop, I heard a random British teenage boy pose an interesting question – “What’s the big deal for some asshole with a backwards cap and gap teeth?”. Hours later, at the Odd Future concert, unable to breathe amongst the craziest and most tightly packed crowd I have ever …Read More
I’m not sure how long he’s been around, who he is, or if he has anymore than two songs. As a matter of fact, I’m not even sure if Indians is a “he” or a “they”. All I know is, since I came across this 3-minute song a half hour ago, I’ve listened to it …Read More
When I first listened to Mac Miller, I loved The High Life and K.I.D.S.. It is seriously hard not to bump your head along with most of those songs. Even after Best Day Ever came out with some real duds, there were still songs on there that were too good to ignore. Then came his highly …Read More
Ever notice those insultingly inaccurate Facebook Suggestion Ads on the sidebars of the website? Such as – “Are you a fan of The Morning Benders? Then you may like POP ETC!” Except, this time it’s pretty accurate. That’s because The Morning Benders are now going by POP ETC. Based out of California, I’m sure they …Read More
It is no doubt that, in many cultures, seven is generally considered a lucky number. However, indie rock/electronic band School of Seven Bells did not derive their name from this fact or even from a love of Schoolhouse Rock (obviously the first thing I thought). They are actually named after a mythical South American pickpocket-training …Read More
One of the BEST and I mean, straight up best albums of two thousand and eleven was Fucking Werewolf Asso’s third bandcamp release, Nittiotremo. Comparable to being chased by Patrick Bateman in eternity, the album starts maniacally with spoken words to tie a generational thought process and then goes off the charts with intensity. And …Read More
A few nights ago, while taking a break from writing one of my final papers for school, I started browsing the web in search of some new music to share with all of you this weekend. I was fortunate to come across the work of Ontario-born Brad Lyons, an independent artist who goes by the …Read More
We’ve got more A$AP for you. Late night drop from Swizz Beatz and A$AP Rocky made my morning. Not sure if I like Swizz’s 2 verses, but Rocky carries the weight on this AraabMUZIK produced track. A$AP is quickly climbing the ladder. He continues to make headlines (not all music related). I’m still blasting LiveLoveA$ap …Read More
Hearing from old friends is always usually great. Being treated by them is even better. Yesterday Daniel Rossen released his solo EP Silent Hour / Golden Mile. As a Grizzly Bear and Department of Eagles fan, it pleases me to see he’s still producing at a high level. He manages to retain the same distinctive …Read More
There’s never a dull moment when it comes to Odd Future. During a recent photo shoot, they put on their song “Oldie” (from their mixtape The OF Tape, Vol. 2) in the background. Just a bunch of guys messing around and having fun spitting their verses back and forth at each other. “At A Photoshoot, We Said …Read More
