Halloween comes in many forms. For some, it's pure eerie darkness. For others, it's about a more playful sort of mischief. Thankfully, we adults can spend an entire weekend acting out all of the many sorts of Halloween, from the sluttiest soirées to the spookiest séances. Whether you want to shake your costume-clad booty a bit or explore your nearest graveyard with earbuds in tow, hopefully we've got you covered. Happy Halloween from Earmilk! Below are some of the spookiest picks from a few of us at Earmilk. Enjoy! Courtesy [...]

As Rocktober draws to a close, there's little left to do but get all dressed up in Drive jackets and Kahl Drogo / Khaleesi from Game of Thrones and host a fun little party. The question arises: Do we get this party started or do we stick with the spookiness of Halloween? We decided to go with the latter and make a playlist (via Spotify ) of some of our favorite, scary, messed up, shifty, and uncomfortable songs to guarantee to to anything but get the party started. Well, it depends [...]

Hey there. Autumn is coming thick and fast and today, I've got some remixes I've been liking quite a lot lately. I must admit I don't know much about Monarchy, only that when mixed with Holy Ghost! and a man named Dixon, it gives out one of the grooviest tracks I've heard in a long while. Makes me wanna pull a John Travolta on "Saturday Night Fever" all over my room. Monarchy - Love Get Out Of My Way (Holy Ghost ft. Dixon Remix) [click to download] | HTML5 | [...]

Photo via DrunkenStepFather I remember when Scarlett Johannson was an 'up and coming alt actress'. She got alt cred for starring in 'Lost in Translation', but then sorta went mainstream, except every1 realized she was just a hot body with a pair of BANGING cha-chas that couldn't actually act. Looking back, we realize that Lost In Translation 'didn't even say anything' and it was basically just 'trying too hard 2 be deep' and Bill Murray sorta just pooped around on screen. Anyways, it looks like ScarJo [...]

...The night approaches fast er this time of year, a day seems like like a race to sundown. The air a bit colder, the rain carries a bite . The dark clouds hover just a bit longer. Something about the fall captures my imagination like no other time of year. I feel it's fitting to celebrate my favorite season with a soundtrack for it's signature holiday, Halloween . So here's a sixty minute mix by yours truly [...]

Crystal Castles, The Rapture and A-Trak played in an old firehouse on Lafayette to close out CMJ. The best top-to-bottom line-up since Spoon opened for Arcade Fire. Photos follow.

Photos by PremierLife.ca I managed to grab a few moments the other night at Tent Party with Daniel Riots from the electro/house sensation LA Riots. Before a great show we managed to talk about new music, partying, different genres, kids tweaking out, and most importantly; what percent of milk he drinks. [This is Ear-milk after all.] EARMILK: So first off, what genre of music do you think your sound is? LA RIOTS: Thats a hard question. [...]

It's been a few months since we touched on our ' Handful of Remixes ' series, which fits just enough remixes into your pocket for the weekend, day or ride home. This month's Handful of Remixes is no exception for high-end remixes. Our recently reviewed Freedom or Death have "This Crowded Room" remixed by The Killabits. We really can't say enough about these fellas. We've got even more Adele remixes, which we realize is getting pretty ridiculous at this point. Must listens by Foster The People and Solar Bears are [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Le Tigre, Hot Chip, Crystal Castles, Peaches "CSS - La Liberacion" What's so good? I've probably spent hours mindlessly jumping around to CSS's self-titled debut. Their second album, Donkey , kept up the energy, even if big hits failed to emerge. But the latest, La Liberacion , is something of a ghost of the [...]

Another year and the people from EA once again have one of the flashiest game out there with FIFA 12. While a smarter computer (Pro Player Intelligence), more life-like, on-the-pitch player physics (Player Impact Engine) and better dribbling and defending, we're only really going to focus on the 39-song soundtrack. This year's list boasts artists from 14 countries - England, Australia, Brazil, Germany, Chile, Spain, USA, Scotland, Sweden, Northern Ireland, Venezuela, The Netherlands, New Zealand and Italy. We enjoy the list, but the entire African continent was overlooked as well as Canada, Ireland, Russia and eastern [...]
