You’ll have a hard time digging up a better summertime hip-hop track than this gem courtesy of La Bloquera, a collaboration from Thes [...]
Great track from Neon Neon labelmate, Kid Acne, that summons up some big beat 80’s flavor. A talented graffiti artist as well, Acne’s unique pop art has been exhibited throughout the world and has customized everything from skateboards to bar interiors, and even T-shirt collections for Prada. Who knew? Hit the link [...]
In my last Song Of The Day post I featured “I’m Confused” off of Handsome Furs’ new record. Although I love the band, it was a pretty shitty attempt at a vampire video, and a pretty terrible music video all the way around. Now, Aesop Rock kills it (no pun intended) with his [...]
I had anxiously been awaiting the arrival of Handsome Furs’ newest album, Face Control, which finally came out back on March 10. Like any good fan, I raced to the nearest record store and planned on buying it without a listen. Unfortunately, I decided to hang out at Amoeba for a little bit [...]
What’s going on in Canada? Our neighbors to the north have given us yet another band who likes to play with toys…known simply (and quite terribly) as Holy Fuck. This time, not only are we greeted with toy keyboards as with their fellow countrymen, Sunset Rubdown, but also a cacophany of toy phaser guns and [...]
Ahhh, it’s so nice to have Aesop Rock back. His first two label releases, Float (2000) and Labor Days (2001), sent signals of a massive underground talent to be reckoned with. His beats are strange, dark and beautiful, and he has such a unique cadence to his rhyming that’s hard to compare to [...]
The Dodos are one of the more interesting bands to come out in recent years. Their distinct sound, that some have categorizes as “psychedelic folk”, is essentially the product of just two players, guitarist Meric Long and drummer Logan Kroeber, but they’ve been known to throw in the occasional curveball (ie. xylophones and toy [...]
No…it’s not 1985 all over again. This breath of fresh air is a rap group out of Chicago and Detroit who, I can safely say, are one of the few positives to come out of MySpace. The duo actually met when one found a beat on MySpace that the other had produced and [...]
There seems to be a constant influx of talented Canadians making their mark in the music scene these days. Not that this is anything unusual. Our neighbors up north are responsible for bringing us bands like Arcade Fire, Hot Hot Heat, and Broken Social Scene, and even spawned some great classic rock outfits [...]
Following in the footsteps of Vincent Moon’s Take-Away Shows (or Les Concerts A Emporter) and (I guess) “Taxicab Confessions”, this series of videos, called Black Cab Sessions, showcases artists performing in one take in the back of, predictably, a taxicab.
In this particular installment Sunset Rubdown, one of Wolf Parade’s Spencer Krug’s many side projects, performs [...]
