I caught this video over at Evil Monito this morning and couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Of course, it helps that I’ve been obsessed with this track since Monday morning when I stumbled upon it of Fader. There’s something about the Dan The Automator-ish track, alongside the consistent refrain of “Brooklyn, We [...]

I’ve been listening to Little Joy’s self-entitled album for about a week straight and I can’t seem to get the bounce out of my step. Today, Jason Bentley played a track of theirs on “Morning Becomes Eclectic” and I found myself listening to them when I didn’t even want to. Seriously, I consciously wanted to [...]

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 screaming lyrics [...]

In the spirit of another Thanksgiving holiday, I decided to take some time and think about what I was thankful for. The iconic themes and thankful sputters people usually spit around are friends, family, health, wealth and happiness. But I’m thankful for that every single day of my life. Tomorrow I’ll be thankful for the [...]

I imagine the vendors selling merchandise in Teotihuacan are more aggressive during the weekends. I’m glad I went on a Monday when I could simply run away from them by flailing my arms. They simply resigned to their shady areas blowing their Jaguar whistles and sneering at this Mexican-looking gringo.
A bus ride to the [...]

I was recently added to an email list comprised of music-fiends who are obsessed with sharing music via giant file links. It’s fantastic. Yet, I usually want to lounge near a drum set in a friend’s garage while sippin’ on some Budweiser and grooving to these tunes in LA, or loungin’ in a Fort Greene, [...]

Forecasts in Los Angeles called for rain until this evening; friends in New York City email me with accounts of wind chills blistering enough to make you quiver under layers of Burberry; Mexico City is a gloomy mess this morning with highs expected in the low 60’s and the lows expected to send Mexicanos into [...]

Atlanta, Georgia’s Deerhunter makes hollow cool. You listen to their tracks and it’s like watching a Polaroid develop in front of your eyes. The imperfections of the process making their presence even more exciting.
They’re currently on a US tour promoting their self-entitled double album — the second in their tenure as Indie-heavyweights. Pitchfork Media spent [...]

Posted in Art, Berlin, Music, Podcast on Oct 27th, 2008
In February of 2007, I traveled to Berlin with expectations of meeting artists, the creative-elite, socialites, musicians and anyone I considered intriguing. The former East Berlin scene thrived with stencil-artists, graffiti artists, Indie-Electro beat conductors and creatives pulsating with freedom and energy.
Anna Rikje Rosenthal is an Indie-Pop singer situated in the graffiti-laden bustle of Prenzlauer [...]
