CMJ Day 5: A Little Tamer
Saturday was the last night for CMJ and by then I was feeling the effects of the previous 4 days, little sleep, being drunk every night, passing out on my couch rather then my bed, and exhaustion. So when it was time to go see some bands on sat, I was relived that my night […]
Charlie Winston – Like a Hobo
A good friend recommended the indie singer/songwriter Charlie Winston to me and I daresay he is quite a fine. Winston’s debut album, Hobo, was released earlier this year and exploded in France. The lead single off of the album, “Like a Hobo”, is a mix of folk guitar and indie pop, reminiscent of KT Tunstall. […]
CMJ Day 4: 2 Guys, 4 Pairs of Legs and a Baby
Night 4 @ CMJ was the one i sort of thought, hey i can miss this concert, no biggie, but I’m so glad i didn’t. My friend Mabel was also of the same mentality, luckily she had made the same choice as I. The funny part is that we waited on line for Like an […]
Solid Gold – Matter of Time
Minneapolis indie-electro outfit Solid Gold (Zach Coulter, Matthew Locher, and Adam Hurlburt) have been creating music together since the band’s formation in 2001. Over the past few years they’ve honed in on what is now their signature tranced-out, disco-kissed, electronic-indie sound. “Matter of Time” is Solid Gold’s first release since its 2008 debut album, Bodies […]

Last night was a fun night for everyone who came out to Europa to watch NY and Chicago rock the stage.

They really put […]

Rage Against the Government Machine – Music Used with Torture
Artists like Rage Against the Machine, REM, and Nine Inch Nails are joining the bandwagon in efforts to close down Guantanamo Bay and want the government to disclose information on how their music was used in conjunction with torturing detainees, allegedly done without the artists’ permission. Some serious shizzle. You can read the articles on […]
CMJ Day 2: Terry Poison, Miz Metro and Dissapointment
What an interesting night I had last night. Music, a Columbian, and 1 really drunk girl with her bf Day 2 of CMJ got off to a rough start for me. First off, I really wanted to See the Fire and Reason play at Drom. website said 10pm, I show up around 10:30 and its […]

THE bad ass progressive kuduro collective Buraka Som Sistema is BACK with a new single called “Restless” and it has me going, “OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!” The boys from Luanda/Lisboa have had a phenomenal year due in no small part to the release of their debut LP Black Diamond which tore sh*t […]
Sugar and Gold – AYA Remix EP
Sugar & Gold is an eccentric five-some from San Francisco who will be rocking you with their intoxicating indie-dance/disco sound. The AYA EP highlights their song AYA and 2 other original tracks that are incredibly groovy in the old school disco type of way. Think of the pop sound of Of Montreal and put it […]
CMJ Day 1: Gigantic Hand and Greycoats
Last night was the first night of CMJ, and the party was poppin’ in Billyburg. As soon as you got out of the L at Bedford, there was nothing but crowds of young folk checking out all the great music coming from the bars, and to boot it was an amazin’ night to be out. […]

Just Leaked: Rihanna Russian Roulette
Rihanna’s new single, Russian Roulette leaked onto the internet just a few moments ago. It’s her first single off her new album entitled “Rated R” – fitting – not “Dark Angels” as I previously suggested yesterday. The song is a slow, dark rock like ballad and for a Rihanna song, a tad underwhelming. I expected […]

Music Video: See You in My Nightmares/We Were Once A Fairy Tale
You would never think that the same guy who directed the ever so nice “Where the Wild Things Are,” could direct a “music video” that is the exact opposite. Think again. After their first collab on “Flashing Lights” by Kanye (a dark video also), Spike Jonze and Kanye have decided to work on another video […]
No Homo
Pretty funny video
Ego Head (Mathias Mental Remix)
Mathias Mental is an electro-pop duo hailing from Montreal. They have just finished a remix of 8-bit band The Cougarettes track “Ego Head”. Think Crystal Castles meets Italio Disco. The track is pretty light and airy, but has enough dirt in the right places. Compared to the original, this remix has taken a totally different […]
