It’s been quite a while since there’s been some art featured on here, so I figured it’s time for a change. I just stumbled across a couple of sketches by David Choe, a pretty accomplished artist/muralist who has done pieces for retailers like UPPERPLAYGROUND and brands like RVCA. Oh, and he was also the guy [...]

Miike Snow’s “Black and Blue” Music Video
-
Artist:
-
Track:Black and Blue
Swedish indie-pop group Miike Snow (no, that’s not a typo) just released the music video for their hit single “Black and Blue.” Miike Snow’s sound has been described by professional music critics as “A-ha meets Animal Collective.” I personally like to think that their sound is more of an offshoot of Passion Pit’s. The band’s [...]

Jay-Z Performs “Empire State of Mind” with Bridget Kelly
-
Artist:
Last night Jay-Z performed "Empire State of Mind," a track off of The Blueprint 3, on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. He put on a killer performance with Bridget Kelly, who took over Alicia Keys' role in the song. To be honest, Bridget Kelly's voice sounds nearly identical with Alicia's, so it's really tough to [...]

In keeping with the Phoenix theme of late, I figured that I’d throw up this hot new remix of them by Friendly Fires, a British indie/electro-pop group. The song is “Fences,” which is the third track on Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.With all the cowbell, snare drum, and piano in the beginning of the remix, for a [...]

Last night, French alt rock band Phoenix made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien and performed their hit song “1901.” I was glad they finally stopped by The Tonight Show to play for Conan and Andy, because lately it seems like they’ve been popping up everywhere else.Earlier in the summer, the group [...]

Syracuse ‘09 grads John Dwyer and Meezy create SwaggerDap, a networking site for underground clothing lines
-
Artist:John Dwyer
A new situation can really shut me up sometimes. I remember sitting in a circle of 10 or so staff members as the newly selected Promotions Director of Syracuse University’s radio station WERW 1570 AM. Being one of two freshmen among upperclassmen experts, I thought, What the hell am I doing here? It was petrifying. [...]

New Radiohead Song “These Are My Twisted Words” Leaked
-
Artist:
So I stumbled across this gem earlier today. It's supposedly a new Radiohead song entitled "These Are My Twisted Words" that isn't due to be released for quite some time that has seemingly surfaced out of nowhere. I initially had my doubts as to whether this was the real deal or not, but after giving [...]

Auto-Tune: Do or Don’t? Discovery says yes, Jay-Z says NO
Oh where did this all start? Although Roger Troutman or Teddy Riley are often credited for the first use of auto-tune, that was in fact the talkbox. I once heard that the pioneer of auto-tuning is none other than Cher. That’s right, ‘Do you believe in liiiiife after looooove!?’ Who knew this diva would influence artists in [...]

Earlier today KiD CuDi’s “Make Her Say” music video was released by Universal Music Group. It’s the rising hip-hop star’s third music video out there, with the first two being “Day ‘n’ Nite,” and its Crookers remix counterpart.

Imogen Heap’s “Ellipse” Album Trailer
Earlier this week, British indie songstress Imogen Heap released a teaser video for her upcoming album Ellipse. In the trailer, she showcases what she has been up to musically in the last two years. It’s pretty evident that she has a wide variety of uncommon and unconventional insturments, half of which I don’t even know [...]

Throwback Thursdays: Of Kings and Macchios and David Lee Roths
Death has the unexpected benefit of restoring relevance. Michael Jackson is dead so we forget about the bleached, siliconized, plastic surgery testing ground that was once his face, and we chose to set aside his suspicious activity with children, and we toss the Liz Taylor obsession, the crotch-grabbing, and his increasingly stilted moonwalk into a [...]

Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” Music Video Released
Today marked the release of Drake’s much anticipated “Best I Ever Had” music video. It’s been a big week for the Degrassi star-turned rapper. A couple of days ago he was signed to Lil’ Wayne’s Young Money record label. Being that “Best I Ever Had” is Drake’s most popular song, I expected the video that [...]

My First Bonnaroo Experience: Special thanks to Wonder Waffle, Of Montreal and the Healing Shaman
17 Hours have never passed so quickly. Maybe it was the stop at Sonic that kept us going (us New Englanders think of it as some Holy Grail of fast food), but most likely it was the excitement of Bonnaroo finally becoming a reality. Honestly, I feel like my visit in Manchester, TN was a [...]

Dan Deacon Performs “Ohio” on NBC Morning Circa 2006 [VIDEO]
If there’s ever been two things that don’t belong together, it’s electronic oddball Dan Deacon and an NBC morning news/talk show. This awesome footage has just recently regained popularity. It features Dan Deacon performing “Ohio” (and doing his thing), while an entire news station collectively watches/listens in what we can only imagine to be a [...]
