The folk at Steregum allude to the Kermit The Frog-like sounds of LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy on “Sound Of Silver”, so I guess it makes sense that Murphy and director Simon Owens imagined this electro-ballad to be sung by Kermie himself. Question: is this the real Kermit? Like, did he waddle over from Jim Henson’s [...]

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.

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?

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 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 [...]

Update: Beirut talks with Pitchfork about the project.
I’ve heard rumors of John Malkovich residing somewhere around the Col. Condesa; Anthony Bourdain brought his spit-fire insight on gastronomy to Mexico City a few weeks back; now I’m hearing news that Beirut perched his scrawny awesomeness, probably on some hilltop where his horns would reverberate throughout valleys [...]
