Following the amazing release of Japandroids’ debut Post Nothing, the duo planned to release a series of 7′ singles on some sexy clear vinyl (yes I just described an actual record as sexy). “Art Czars” was disappointing- leaving me to wonder if the duo had anything left post-Post Nothing. “Younger Us” crushed that fear as [...]
This poster is incredible. Tribe, Snoop, Lauryn, Rakim, KRS-One, etc. You have to be kidding. If you’re a fan of classic hip-hop and live in one of the lucky cities welcoming Rock the Bells, I’d be surprised not to see you there.
A lot of people think I’m joking when I tell them that I love D’Angelo. This doesn’t come as much of a surprise though. In his video for “Untitled (How Does It Feel?)”, he stood in an empty room, completely naked for the entire 5 minute edited version of the song. This changed his image [...]
M83, Saturdays=Youth is an album that has grown on me with every listen since its release in 2008. Their are certain days, or moods, or moments when I want to go back to a time in my life when things were just more simple. Sometimes I want it to be the first day of summer [...]
There is no question that the latest releases from Four Tet and Caribou have set the stage for experimental electronic music during the new decade. So here’s an extra special treat. Caribou, whose album has already been praised by QM here, takes the intro track “Angel Echoes” from Four Tet’s There Is Love in You [...]
“Rabbit” was a song off the deluxe edition of Miike Snow’s self titled gem. It’s a killer song- with a pretty outrageous video involving one of the best album covers of all time. Check it out below: Miike Snow- Rabbit
Off the essential Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde, “Passin’ Me By” is a hip-hop staple. The J-Swift production blends in a funky trio of samples from Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones, and the Weather Report. The result gives the four Pharcyde members a perfect backdrop to flow on. Each one recounts a humorous, juvenile crush that [...]
I just got back from Primavera Sound Music Festival in Barcelona. One thing that they do really well is bring classic bands to play (as opposed to Coachella or Bonnaroo, who almost always choose the headliner based on whoever has recently released an album). The headliners this year were Pixies and Pavement, both of whom [...]
