Tin Ear Tuesday – XXmas Fats
Tin Ear Tuesday – XXmas Fats from pinpointmusic on 8tracks Radio. As promised, here’s your second dose of all things otherwise and/or occasionally sonically awesome for the inevitable lulls in familial obligations and tense theological football debates fired off from secret eggnog recipes and wedged in between your umpteenth “Thanks...

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
There were many things which made the 2010 film The Social Network a success. One of those was the soundtrack. Trent Reznor and English composer Atticus Ross’ score to The Social Network did many things. One, it complimented the film’s drama with arresting musical backdrops. More importantly, however, the score...

Stereogum’s Top 10 Breakout Artists of 2011
Yes yes, it’s clearly “list’s” season, thus, a top something-something of 2011 passes for “News”.

When I heard she had a new album, I couldn’t help but think, “Already?!” It seemed too soon to...

Freeball Friday! Major Rager
Major Lazer – “Original Don” I guess I’ll call this a choreographed, bladed-weapon, international ghetto-tech homage to Napoleon Dynamite. Not sure how much I’m in love with a random dude yelling “bomboclat” – but Diplo in a yellow knitted collared shirt buttoned to the top more than makes up for...
