Get HYPE!!!
FRICTION returns to The Mercury Lounge tomorrow night with a diverse lineup consisting of R&B, hip-hop, soul, electro pop, funky disco, dance rock, and who knows what else. All you need to do is show up ready to shake your ass on the dancefloor. None of that arm crossed shit is gonna […]
Brighton, UK’s Electrelane have some pretty tasty photos on their blog from their recent North American Tour . For some reason I always thought these girls were French or Canadian. Their album The Power Out from 2004 still gets regular spins on my Ipod, but the new release No Shouts, No Calls may […]
Cop flips on kids for skating downtown in Hot Springs Arkansas. Jarad Graham, Drew Irwin, Skylar Nalls, Matt McCormack, Robbie Brindley, & Casey Canterbury get arrested.
Alloy Mental’s debut, We Have Control harks back to the golden era of hard-hitting breakbeat techno, recalling acts like Leftfield, The Drum Club, and The Prodigy.
Check out the video above for the Belfast group’s savage stomping “God Is Green” and try not to let yourself bounce out of your seat. It’s like Ascii Disko […]
There’s something about The Teeth’s first proper LP, You’re My Lover Now, that sounds equally as fresh as it does familiar. Both classic and recognizable sounds are abundant on the record, but the way the band combines and delivers them is uniquely refreshing.
Brian Eno said that a band’s “mistakes are often more interesting than […]
I have a healthy addiction to this Greek yogurt. Just add honey and you have the best breakfast in town. Since it’s unsweetened, you can use it for other garnishes like replacing the less-healthy sour cream. Seriously, it makes other yogurts taste like monkey butt.
Anyone else share my love affair?

Very impressive hand-jive to Daft Punk’s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Be patient and wait for the lyrics to kick in. Anyone shelling out the $50 to the see them in Brooklyn this August with The Rapture?
Robin Guthrie + Mahogany + Soundpool + Resplandor June 28th Studio B [flyer] + + + THIS is a shoegazer’s dream of a lineup - expect shimmering guitars and waves of distortion and feedback as vocals and melodies get swallowed up by glorious walls of sound.
The Father of Giant Stereo Guitar Sound, Robin Guthrie, will be playing a one-time only […]
I can’t believe that it’s been ten years since the release of Radiohead’s OK Computer. I can clearly remember the day I bought the record from The Wall (remember that place?) and drove around endlessly listening to the album, which eventually became the soundtrack of my summer. When I think of Paris, the […]
Copenhagen’s epo-555 are in NYC this upcoming week to celebrate and play a few shows for their recent US distribution signing with Rykodisc. The new album Mafia is out now (isn’t that a beautiful cover?). They sound like your everyday pop-electronica-noise-rock band, so their sound is kind of hard to pinpoint. I […]
So Nashville has their own version of Misshapes called Fabric (apparently named after the club in London) and a photo site called Poor Little Rich Kids. It’s pretty much a direct copy of the Misshapes’ wall portraits. Nashville is a great town, but something’s a little off here. Not […]
for a change of pace, i’ve decided to deviate from our trend of artfully composed pictures under this series for a paparazzi shot. those “who love to eat” and enjoy reading up on the latest “hotspots” with “well executed cocktails” are familiar with tim zagat, the culinary/epicurean survey king. the surprisingly friendly gentleman busted his […]

The NYC event draws hundreds of boarders who take over the city streets, starting at […]
