IV

These last weeks of fall have been too too too fast. I’ve been drowning myself in so much Breakbot that the last few weeks have been an electronic blur. Goblin was always on blast in my house around this time of year, and stumbling upon the first three tracks from IV’s debut album have brought [...]

White Lies

“To lose my life”, the first album by British outfit White Lies has proven to be very divisive among critics. While some have praised the band’s dark sound, huge riffs, and bewitching choruses as the newest sensation in Pop Rock, others have felt that the type of music they are doing has been mastered by [...]

Florence and the Machine, Lungs

Melissa Laveaux

A new artist you (maybe) haven’t heard about. Melissa Laveaux is a charming young lady with a very interesting back story and even more interesting music. Born in Montreal of Haitian parents, bred in Ottawa where she went to college and currently living in Paris, she blends folk music, Creole blues, and an amazingly entrancing [...]

Thao with The Get Down Stay Down

I just want to preface this by saying that Thao is easily one of my favorite musicians (last.fm will easily back me up on this). She’s one of those dream girls that everyone either wants to be or be with. It probably doesn’t hurt that she’s effortlessly sexy and sings lines like “what about me?/me [...]

Wale feat Lady Gaga

Wasn’t quite expecting to see those two names together, but somehow it works. The new single from the forthcoming Wale album is out, and it is indeed featuring the Lady herself. Simple and clean and catchy, this songs works and will hopefully bring Wale into the focus of the mainstream. Also included in your gift [...]

Au Revoir Simone Remix

When I first heard Brooklynites Au Revoir Simone (while coincidentally living in Brooklyn, what’s up Bushwick!) I fell in love. They provide simple songwriting at its best, three ladies and a drum machine. At first they seem quiet and unassuming, but listening deeper shows how quietly poignant their lyrics and melodies are. Sample lyric, “I’m [...]

Pink Dollaz

I don’t know if it has anything to do with the Killah Priest show I’m engineering tonight, but my week has been filled with good rap. Pink Dollaz is six gorgeous mc’s from L.A. Their name was inspired by their love of pink and $$$. They’re also somewhat involved with the Jerk scene going on [...]

Florence and the Machine

Last night, I stumbled upon Florence and the Machine, what a happy accident. She’s got this intensely soulful voice, and she’s not afraid to take it to the limit. She’s one of those musicians that is so passionate about her work, that at times I am a little bit frightened. The bio on her website [...]
