The Men – “Open Your Heart”


As men, we never like to reveal that we may have a soft spot.  Most of us do.  The Men do as proven on their exhilarating new track “Open Your Heart”.  Sure the outer layers are dirtied up with garage grit and snarling vocals but beneath one discovers bottled up good intentions exploding into true passion.  There [...]

Getting To Know Mini Mansions

I want you to take 3 things away from this interview. First, Mini Mansions know what vajazzling is, and they support it (respect).  Second, Mini Mansions have actually seen (and practically saved) a real Koala- and Koala’s are fucking cute.  Third, Mini Mansions are playing our show, along with Haim and Pratley, on Saturday February [...]

Father John Misty – “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings”

It was no doubt a risky move for J. Tillman, drummer of the famed Fleet Foxes, to strike off on his own as Father John Misty.  However, after hearing his initial track “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings”, it was a clearly a switch not worth rethinking.  As a strong disciple in LA’s Laurel Canyon revival scene, [...]

Harriet – “Tell The Right Story”

Imagine seeing a beautiful girl in a bar…lets call her Harriet.  Sure the fact that Harriet is easy on the eyes, with shimmering keys and anthemic vocals, is reason enough to go and talk to her.  She sings about sleeping with your mom, and you realize…you’re starting to fall for her.  But than you discover [...]

Jack White – “Love Interruption”

Video: American Royalty – “Matchstick”

I want to start off by apologizing to everyone on the east coast.  Right now in January, a time most would consider winter, we have the luxury of hiking in shorts, driving with the top down, surfing if able, and BBQ’ing like school’s out for the next 3 months.  Perhaps we can credit global warming [...]

Video: Races – “Big Broom”

It’s hard to tell if “Big Broom” is good or evil.  Opening with that biting bass line and smeared guitars followed by whimsically haunting vocals, one is quick to say “Big Broom” is up to no good.  However about half-way through comes the angelic group harmonies of the band, and the clouds open up- “Big Broom” is [...]
