Aesop Rock Dirty Ghosts Remix – “Shout It In”
Aesop Rock remix of Dirty Ghosts “Shout It In”. A task that would appear to be easily streamlined if you, you know, were in the band. Which he is. Also if you were married to the lead singer. Which, again, he is. That is all. Ups to Juxtapoz Magazine Dirty...
Three Mile Pilot – The Inevitable Past is the Future Forgotten
No. That’s all I’ve got. I’ve been trying for days (if not weeks) to review the much-heralded reunion release of San Diego’s last great “I think I’ve heard of them” bands (who the fuck actually listens to No Knife?) and all I keep coming back to is that classic, albeit...
Pharoahe Monch – W.A.R. (We Are Renegades)
Everything in moderation your mom said. Candy, Mountain Dew, Television, even vegetables; crazy fucking concept. You finally appreciated how right your mom was that first time you got way too drunk at the party and spent the wee hours of the night hugging the toilet bowl in the guest bathroom...
DeVotchka – 100 Lovers
DeVotchka is certainly a band which is easy to enjoy. In fact, I have yet to find a person adverse to a robust blend of Balkan folk and mariachi ballads. The band manages to present a smooth marriage of elements with a respectful level of sadness and intrigue. With each...
New Justice Track Released – “Civilization”
The long-awaited return of Justice is upon us; and they are here to quell our overwhelming and collective thirsts with Adidas commercials. Oh, and they have a new LP coming out sometime this year. Justice – “Civilization” Full Track by 1077 The...
Yuck Interviewed at The Echo in Los Angeles
Dirty Laundry: Yuck from Dirty Laundry on Vimeo. Some chick interviews the London-based band Yuck at The Echo in Los Angeles. Rock. Check out the rest of the madness at: Dirty...
The Get Up Kids – There Are Rules
I would like to take this time to formally apologize to any and all individuals with whom I might have made out with during the period between 1999 and 2003. Though our experience (however brief) together might have been sweet and sexy and ultimately positive, I’m reasonably confident that, at...
James Blake – James Blake (S/T)
This review of British beatmaker James Blake’s debut album actually arrives rather tardily. It was released roughly three weeks ago, and I’ve actually spent much longer listening to it. 38.1 minutes of music, according to iTunes. So why the delay? Firstly, James Blake is definitely an acquired taste, and one...
Grails – Deep Politics
You know…I have to give it to Grails not only for staying strong through all these years but rarely receiving the publicity equal to the amount of work put in each album. It is not like this band is Oregon best kept secret and they are bidding their time before...
SXSW Video – Day 4 – Interview with Locksley
Andrew Rowley, from San Diego’s 91X radio station, found some shade in Austin, TX to hang out with the boys from Locksley. In a brief respite from the madness of SXSW the band members chat about SXSW, Japan relief, the Green Bay Packers and their home land of...
