Del tha Funkee Homosapien will be bringing his wordy rhyme styles to The Social this Friday the 15th. It is an RSVP only show, with no tickets being sold. If you are not on The Social’s email list then I would suggest hasseling staff until you can get a ticket. Rap can typically blow balls [...]
The word “super group” gets thrown around a lot – so I won’t use it. Them Crooked Vultures is a near perfect union of 3 monster talents: Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), and John Paul Jones (from this little band called Led Zeppelin). Josh’s buzzsaw guitar attack and smooth, [...]
I stumbled across this song while making a mixtape for someone (that’s what you give for Christmas when you’re poor). Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” caught me by surprise and I listened to it so much that I nearly missed this song, “As Simple as …” With production help from MGMT and Ratatat among others, [...]
I wasn’t really sure what an Avi Buffalo was. Come to find out, it’s a kid from Long Beach, California named Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg. Sounds Irish. He’s only 18 years old which means this song could suck worse than I think it does, but for now it’s stuck in my head. [media id=6]
A full moon hung over the perfect storm that brewed below on the streets of downtown Miami. On a near 80 degree night in late-December, New Year’s Eve revelers, Phish heads, and Lady Gaga fans came together in such a mind-boggling confluence that it didn’t merely defy the laws of physics, but actually tore a [...]
I didn’t really put too much thought into this, but I heard it on the way back from Miami (More on my first Phish concert shortly) yesterday and figured it was a good a song as any for a New Year’s message. It’s sort of positive, yet sad enough for me to like it. Go [...]
This is a feature I will update when compelled. Check the media player in the right column for the latest song. This installment is “Classic” by the Ancient Astronauts, one of the latest acts to join forces with D.C’s ESL Music. I called this one of my favorite tracks of 2009. Listen Now! [media id=3]
The Smashing Pumpkins began the musical journey that is to become Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, a collection of 44 songs to be released over the next 3 years. The songs are completely free to anyone and everyone without so much as leaving your email – just download. Each set of 4 songs will be available to [...]
Del tha Funkee Homosapien got his start with cousin, Ice Cube, but soon found that there was no other way to go but his own. In the years since 1991′s I Wish my Brother George Was Here, Del carved his name in rap’s illustrious wall with a unique and heady approach to hip hop as [...]
This year’s Anti*Pop Festival saw the doubling of the bands on the bill, more venues, a strong focus on homegrown music, a stellar list of bands from all genres with the usual heavy doses of hidden gems, all while reducing the price of a 4-day pass to a single payment of $25. That’s over 150 [...]
