I saw something similar to this using CD artwork to create collages, but not nearly as much fun! The Prince one might be my fav for its ridiculousness, but it’s borderline NSFW. Besides, you can’t go wrong with Tiffany.
Big Stereo has a nice weekly mixtape series and the most recent one features an Italo theme. I love the one from Tronik Youth with its 80’s Eurobeats. It will provide the perfect mood for your Holiday travels and prevent you from getting the deer-in-headlights-zombie-mode while on your journey. Be safe out there!
I don’t know about you, but I listen to podcasts ALOT. In addition to NPR’s This American Life, I love KEXPs series of podcasts, including Music That Matters (MTM), Song of the Day, and Live Performances. Being a subscriber to MTM, I get to sample the flavors of different DJ’s musical tastes, like […]
Didn’t quite get the gift(s) you were hoping for Christmas? Having post holiday blues? Feeling like a whale from the pounds of stuffing, sweet potatoes, ham, turkey, cookies, pie, chocolates, wine, beer, and whatever else you inhaled over the weekend? Well, The Depreciation Guild is here to save you with their debut […]
Get Hype It’s Friday!!! Everyone is probably on their way out of the office or already celebrating the Holiday Season. Have a festive time with your family and friends people. Be safe and we’ll see you in the wonderful New Year. I leave you with Simian Mobile Disco’s Mixmag mix below. […]

The last thing you want to hear the day after Christmas is holiday music. The presents are open, the wine is gone, there’s a bunch of leftovers in the fridge that you can’t even imagine going near, and the smell of eggnog turns your stomach.
So…we did things a little different […]
Wired has a nice article with dialog between David Byrne and Thom Yorke and their opinions on the music industry, discussing the approach and success of In Rainbows.
In the first month, about a million fans downloaded In Rainbows. Roughly 40 percent of them paid for it, at an average of $6 each. […]
Gregg Foreman, to say the least, is a pretty well known guy in Philadelphia. Sometime around Thanksgiving this year I was introduced to the new incarnation of his pioneer ’60s and ’70s soul music dance party called Turnaround, which has now joined forces with Philly’s other kick ass soul/psych party, Immediate!. To say […]
Ever since giving These New Puritans on Angular Records a listen, I’ve been scouring the internet sale bins for their back catalog. TNP hail from Southend which 40 miles east of London, from the same scene as the Horrors. I don’t care much for that other band but I think TNP have […]
Thanks to everyone who made it out on Saturday night to The Mercury Lounge for the final FRICTION show of 2007. It was the perfect cap for a year of great shows which began at Sin-e back in January. A big thank you to Brooklyn’s Yeasayer, High Places, Team Robespierre, and Chairlift for […]
Four of Brooklyn’s finest bands take over The Mercury Lounge tomorrow night for the final FRICTION show of the year and it’s going to be a doozy! The peeps over at Oh My Rockness are calling it a “Brooklyn love fest” or the first-ever Pysch-Synth-Fanciful-Punk-Surf Festival (or PSFPS). RAD.
The local Brooklyn flavors include […]
In a year that was pretty volatile, full of ups and downs, music was the one thing that was constant. For this year end whathaveyou, I picked my five favorite records, which wasn’t as difficult as I first expected. To pick 10 would be a little more challenging, but these are the standouts, […]
As a followup to my Holiday gift post, here is a nice list of fairly inexpensive design gifts. Some of it quite ridiculous, some of it quite useful; like the reusable bags from baggu.
Take advantage of the shitty weather tonight and head out to Stonefox Artspace in Soho to check out the opening night of Alex Da Corte’s I Attach Myself To You. The exhibit will feature color portrait photographs and related sculptures that explore the nature of intimacy in a digital world where online dating, chat […]
