The article to go along with the music is pretty insightful into the backdrop for lead singer Reggie Youngblood's lyrics. Check it out here. Here's a sweet version of "Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)" from the recordings. mp3: [...]

Alright, so I've been thinking about the name. Here's what I've come up with. Black kids are, in fact, the absolute standard of cool, because their style can never be called fake. Anything that's fake is created by white, self-conscious, intentional consumers and trend-setters. However, it... [[ This is a content summary only.

Well another month has come and gone. Another thirty or so odd days and another slew of blog posts, emails, and other various forms of communication have brought to my attention enough new tracks to compile a new volume of Best of the Remix. For those of you who are new here let me explain a bit. Each month I compile two separate lists here on The World Forgot. One list contains the thirtee...

There are moments in time when I wish the world of synth heavy campy pop had died in 1989. Then there are albums that come along and imagine old themes with such a fresh face that you can't help but love both where we've been and where we're all heading. Black Kids debut album, Partie Traumatic (amazon) (itunes), is one of those albums. From start to end, even when existentially singing from...

Black Kids I’m heading to Chicago tomorrow afternoon for Lollapalooza and as a result I have been esepcially tuned in to any event related info that has been appearing in my inbox. If you’re also in the city this weekend and looking for something to do tomorrow evening, the Apple Store on N. Michigan (across from the Allerton Hotel) is hosting a free Lollapalooza kick-off show.

I interrupt my regularly scheduled time listening to David Byrne and Brian Eno to bring you a Black Kids video. The band most famous for making a MySpace-fueled ascent to blogger collective consciousness in the most rapid(share) of fashions -- and second most famous for getting Pug'd -- are defiantly refusing to cease existing because of a negative review. Imagine that, not letting their lives...

--- - |- "I've been making these eyes now, making these eyes since '82." I consider myself pretty apathetic as far as buzz bands are concerned. My antipathy has reached new heights in the past couple of years. We all know that we've read about Sufjan Stevens to the point of exhaustion and have certainly heard more than enough about Tapes 'N' Tapes or Vampire Weekend (no negative tidings to ...
