Artist: Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

Sweet Fancy Moses! This song here has to be simply the most excruciatingly, ear-damagingly, brain-smokingly, anal-bleedingly horrible song ever recorded. And it's stuck in my head today.

Sonny Smith canta en las canciones de " Antenna To The Afterworld " que tiene sangre verde y antenas, pero en el fondo, no necesita nada de lo anterior para parecer un marciano. A fin de cuentas, hablamos de un músico que si por algo se caracteriza, es por una trayectoria a la que el adjetivo de zigzagueante se le queda corto. Para empezar, están esos cambios de registro a cada disco: del pop destartalado a lo Jonathan Richman de su debut (" Tomorrow Is Alright ") a ese " Hit After Hit " de 2011 que parecía [...]

A dupla americana Wampire começou a fazer barulho na cena independente de Portland, mesma cidade natal do STRFKR (para quem eles já abriram alguns shows), com seu balanço inegável e seu pop psicodélico. O debut Curiosity  será lançado oficialmente em maio pelo selo Polyvynil , e além de ter sido produzido pelo Jacob Portrait, do Unknown Mortal Orchestra , inclui a ótima faixa “The Hearse”, que já foi uma amostra poderosa do noise-pop polido do duo. Mas é o mais recente single do álbum, “Spirit Forest”, que chamou nossa atenção, chegando [...]

Who:   Dam-Funk on the main stage In 3 or Fewer Words:  Funky happy people. Memorable Because:  It takes some gnarly keyboard manipulation into fooling you there is a guitar on stage when there's not, but funk maestro Dam-Funk had a groove that was twice as heavy as his light crowd. Although, paired with positive messages in songs like "OBE (Out of Body Experience)" and "Mirrors," it didn't take long for his "funkster" count to double among the faithful, who shook their rumps in the blazing heat. Because when Dam-Funk asks you to bounce, you [...]

Burger Records' sold-out event proves that a cohesive festival is possible when the people involved have shared incentives.

If you're a guy in his mid-30s, whether you'd like to admit it or not, you likely owned at least one " Weird Al" Yankovic album and still may have a soft-spot for his brand of oddball accordion-drenched parody songs. Since releasing his self-titled debut in 1983, Weird Al has sold more than 12 million albums and collected three Grammy awards, by mocking everyone from Micheal Jackson to John Mellencamp to Nirvana. While Yanokvic has consistently put out albums over the [...]

• Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - "Only In My Dreams"

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffit i craft lo-fi recordings full of intrigue - and full of contradictions. The Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist Pink writes songs that are melodic, catchy, and familiar - and in their own unorthodox way, recall the most immediate, accessible, straightforward FM pop/rock of the '70s and '80s. As a songwriter, Pink has a real sense of pop/rock craftsmanship, with influences ranging from David Bowie, John Lennon, the Bee Gees, Hall & Oates, and the Raspberries to Frank Zappa, Brian Eno, Roxy Music, and late-'70s/early-'80s new wave. However, his very muddy way of producing and his oddball, kooky sound [...]

Given all that all-pervasive fretting over the relevance of guitars within the context of contemporary music, and the purportedly diminishing role the instrument now plays in the composing thereof it's all too easy to neglect its inimitable qualities – qualities which London bros Angus and Oliver James nonchalantly employ to maximum impact. Their creative nom de plume forebodes  The Death Of Pop , though it's a moniker which was surely first coined with tongues lodged so firmly in cheek so as to induce ulcers, for theirs is a breezy, and dare I say it  poppy brilliance. Their latest, Kiss [...]

Bonnaroo is a super-big music festival that happens out in the (where is it?) weather-y place that is most certainly Manchester, Tennessee. Big news, guys! Daniel Tosh is playing Bonnaroo this year! Also with him (that we're stoked on) are Wilco, Wu-Tang Clan, The National, Grizzly Bear, Tame Impala, and Jim James doing two different sets (as far as I can tell). Solid lineup though, you can pick your favorites if you want! Below we have a video of Daniel Tosh (?) talking about Bonnaroo then some crazy 3-D band names. Check it out. Buy tickets here . [...]

There's so much shoegaze oozing about at present. Perhaps too much – we're drowning in the stuff. Though when it's as amorphous, and as gloriously inviting as this from a lonesome Torontonian scruff, we ain't stomping about the place too petulantly. Home Alone is the bedroom endeavour of Thomas Mazurkiewicz and, to plump for immediate hyperbole, is quietly spectacular. Mercifully it has little, to nothing to do with Macaulay Culkin & co. although marijuana has quite patently had a pretty telling effect on the pair of 'em as Sleep.Walk.In is the immediate standout from an EP adorably [...]

• Al Lover - Festival Nrmal 2013 Mix

Though I'm the sort of guy that likes his Primus in normal 2-D, this Sasquatch 2013 lineup is packed with some serious good energy. You've got The Postal Service reuniting (and maybe Ben Gibbard runs in to Danny Brown randomly and he's all like "You wanna collab?" Because, like that seems like something that would happen nowadays) and indie megas like Sigur Ros, Vampire Weekend, The XX,   and Arctic Monkeys. And everyone is allowed to smoke pot. Like legally. I think. Check out the trailer below. As an added bonus watch a video [...]
