I’ve been on a reggae and ska kick ever since watching This Is England a few weeks ago due to it’s kick-ass soundtrack. I figured since new releases around this time of year are usually slow (and a lot of other sites and mags are either getting their “end of year” […]
FRICTION gets festive for the holidays at The Mercury Lounge with a lineup featuring four of New York City’s hottest acts. The local Brooklyn flavors include a headlining slot by the multi instrumentalist troupe YEASAYER, who will be supported by the reverb/echo heavy duo HIGH PLACES, along with electro gangsters TEAM ROBESPIERRE and synth […]
Sort of like the video Ray posted a couple of months ago, but so much better. SICK!!! (thanks Chris)

One of my favorite artists of the year has been The Field, who’s brilliant From Here We Go Sublime is in the running for the year’s best album (for me, at least). In Rainbows is right up there with it though. In addition to seeing him live while he was […]
The Holiday season is upon us and for me, this means getting crafty. I’m big on handmade gifts, not only to save money, but to give something from the heart. Most people really appreciate the effort despite if it was on their “list”.
Last year I did custom framed photos, some shirts […]
I came across this at Retro Thing. It’s hard to believe Dr. Pepper actually promoted this. The ad is from the 60s and I’m guessing it never caught on cause who wants a hot cup of sugared soda?! Anyone ever tried it?
Over the weekend, I caught This Is England, a semi-autobiographical film written and directed by Shane Meadows (A Room for Romeo Brass and Once Upon a Time in the Midlands). The film is centered on a group of young skinheads in 1983 Thatcherite England and also touches on the The Falklands War and the […]
THANK YOU so much Ray for reminding me about today, I totally erm…spaced. Anyway, it seems a bit crazy, but I am indeed finally going to see My Bloody Valentine on July 3rd in Glasgow at The Barrowland Ballroom. The London tickets are selling like hotcakes, but it’s the weekend of POPPED! anyway […]
Seven years after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album, Hei, Berlin/Oslo-based Kim Hiorthøy proves that he is still one of the leaders in the “folktronica” scene with his new album. My Last Day marks Hiorthøy’s first full length since Hei, which was recorded over two years of “on-and-off” work while balancing his […]
Since moving to Philly, I’ve been helping plan the 2008 POPPED! Music Festival. It’s completely DIY and also going to be run sustainably. It’s been a lot of hard work throughout the summer and early fall to get where we are now, which made seeing the press release today that much sweeter! […]
I’m sure a lot of you saw this on Friday. I actually didn’t see it until over the weekend — I guess that I was too busy being stoked about the My Bloody Valentine news. Pretty rad when one of your favorite bands cover your favorite Joy Division/New Order song. Doesn’t happen […]

So, as everyone knows, last Tuesday was Election Day. It was a pretty big day for Philly, with new mayor Michael Nutter being elected and all. If you’ve been following the news, you may have seen that Philadelphia has one of the worst murder rates in the entire country […]

I’m sure everyone has already heard the big news. It’s true, the rumors have finally been confirmed.
My Bloody Valentine is back! I’m so fucking STOKED! Better start looking for tickets on Craigslist now. This sorta makes up for some unsettling news from this morning.
Check out our “My Bloody […]

This mixtape turned out a lot weirder than I initially thought. Originally James’ idea, pawned off on me (because he’s super busy), we decided to do a mix based around the first song you hear upon waking up. To be completely random and honest, I surprised everyone yesterday by asking […]
