This is why you don’t burn your recording engineer. After being hired to record a live Hole performance and getting stiffed for the bill, J. M. Ladd had nothing left but the recording. So what did he do with it? He released this video of Courtney Love butchering Hole’s 1998 classic, “Celebrity Skin.” Why is […]
Penguin Prison — the pseudonym for writer/producer Chris Glover — is on the cusp of releasing his second full-length record, the follow-up to 2011’s fantastic self-titled release. This single, a collaboration between Los Angeles production duo Oliver, is the first track to appear from the new record. I’ve been a huge fan of the Penguin […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzxQUhM5oJI Is there anyone in music that Jack White respects? It sure doesn’t seem like it. In between songs during his set in Boston last night, White starts out by bitching about how no one uses microphones with chords anymore, to which I respond, “Who gives a fuck?” He then takes on the Foo Fighters, […]
I’ve been on to these guys for a minute, since a mutual friend went to the University of Washington with them, and with every release, their sound becomes more developed, more their own. This new summer jam keeps that tradition alive. Last I heard they were still laying low until after graduation, but I think […]
It’s been a while since Disclosure has released new music, but they’re back on the map with another Mary J. Blige fronted track. The duo should be back in the studio this fall, with a full-length expected next year.
Sam Smith continues his unblemished lifetime streak of making awesome songs. The 22-year old took to the BBC 1 to cover the 1988 Tracy Chapman classic, “Fast Car.” It’s deeper, bass driven, more rhythmic, modernized, and soulful — everything we’ve come to expect from a good Sam Smith track. There may come a day when […]
Flight of the Conchords released a new movie in New Zealand and Australia this summer, but they’ve got more in store according to actor Jemaine Clement. In a recent interview with the Guardian, he said that the new vampire comedy What We Do in the Shadows, only marks the start of what the musical-comedy duo […]
Etienne de Crécy released a new track today called, “Hashtag My Ass.” The video features pictures from an Instagram contest de Crécy ran where fans submitted pictures through the social networking site. He also launched a website to support the new release, located not surprisingly at hashtagmyass.com. This guy is the OG of french touch, […]
SOHN’s most recent album Tremors might very well make my top 10 albums of the year. Last night, he took over the BBC’s Radio 1 for an hour long set that feels kind of like putting on headphones and listening to a live stream of the future. Check it out here: BBC1 Residency – SOHN
They don’t make dance music. They don’t sing in English. They don’t wear helmets. What parisian rockers La Femme do is make a brand of rock and roll that’s genuinely interesting and raw, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the Velvet Underground. I think it’s easier to talk about where one expects to hear this […]
