The ROAR (@iamtheroar) – Smells Like Teen Cinema
Our boy TheROAR has singlehandedly brought “sMashup” into BoomBoomChik’s lexicon and he’s been going hard with them since last summer. This latest installment brings two FAVES – Nirvana and SKRILLEX – into one. Best thing about TheROAR’s sMashups – he rearranges, re-records, performs and sings the songs in a studio.

Jessie Ware (@Jessie_Ware) – Strangest Feeling
Today, one of my friends tweeted me Jessie Ware and Sampha’s video, “Valentine”, which is absolutely gorgeous. Her take on electronic, R&B/soul infused music reminds me, vaguely, of Jesse Boykins III in its unabashed, fearless, and imperfect beauty (talk about a mouthful). It doesn’t do too much or try too hard, qualities I appreciate beyond […]
