Everyone I know is anxiously awaiting Spike Jonze‘s Where The Wild Things Are. It opens October 16th. It’s a film likely to lure fantasies, hopes, dreams, smiles, and a big of magic out of you. Hell, Spike even makes me giddy when I see Fatlip on the screen. This song is “Hidaway” from the movie’s [...] I didn’t know Telekinesis before last month. It took a giant bag of soup dumplings, a YouTube propelled research session of their songs, and a Million Dollar Highway, windows down, red peaks towering over me, to finally solidify that I enjoyed these cats. Telekinesis is frontman Michael Benjamin Lerner‘s brain child and the band strums [...] I can’t find the About section to Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros on their website because I keep staring at their tour schedule, trying to determine if they’ll be in New York City any time soon, but they have a gif of themselves twirling in circles like a bunch of hippies and there isn’t [...] I remember seeing Leroy and his glossy eyes, a fifth of Jack flowing freely through his bloodstream. He smiled. “You’ve gotta listen to this, fool. Shit is great.” There, under a suburban night sky, a melodic echo, something akin to chamber music, but with a hip-hop beat, came careening out my car speakers. “Insight/Foresight/More sight/The [...] Hunter S. Thompson used his loudspeakers in Aspen, CO to blare out “Mr. Tambourine Man”. He’d shoot his .357 Magnum too, but I’m not investing in gunpowder. I’ll just stick to acoustic guitars and harmonicas. In the case of The Doors, let’s allow Ray Manzarek to shoot the hilltops, shall we? Blue skies hovering above [...] Two Weeks Is it me or are Grizzly Bear member’s eyes really huge in this video? After a sudden dose of multiple viewings of Grizzly Bear’s newest video from their recent album “Veckatimest”, I couldn’t help but try to close my eyelids one at a time and sweat profusely. Didn’t really work. The Fader points out [...]
Passion Pit released “Matters” this week and are soaring to new Indie heights with a tour throughout the US and Europe all summer. Since I’m currently based in Los Angeles until June 15th, I’ll be hitting up their Echoplex gig Friday May 29th. It was only 24 hours ago that I muttered to the homie that MGMT’s “Weekend Wars” was one of the best songs to wake up to. But after sleeping in a bit today, and not sippin’ on an Americano five minutes after I wake up, Passion Pit’s “Sleepyhead” is the perfect jolt of energy to [...]
Detroit’s image can be drastically marred by its economic downturn, high-crime rate and horrible baseball team. But the city is ripe for angst-driven beats and rhythms ranging from hip-hop to Rock. And power-punk 70′s band Death is just another notch on the legacy Detroit has established in the 20th Century.  Death: "Keep On Knocking": Play Now | Play in Popup | Download Death: "Where Do We Go From Here?": Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadCoachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California is popping off in two weeks with an expectantly large crowd. Most of those attendees will probably be broke as all hell after the show considering tickets to the three-day event go for $269+ticketmaster fees (for a 3-day pass). If you couldn’t get on their layaway plan, [...]
24-year-old Victoria Hesketh, a.k.a. Little Boots, made her name the same way any 21st Century indie artist does these days: via YouTube videos portraying her in pajamas, her keyboard and her trusty tenori-on. She’s covered songs from Hot Chip, Estelle and Planet Perfecto, but has moved on to record original material. Her latest [...]
I caged myself with the inclusion of only five tracks in yesterday’s podcast. I’m thankful for more than five tracks! What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Who are your favorite American musicians? I would have included Rage Against The Machine, but I’m terrified I’ll toss my Mac out of my window while [...] |
