After catching the flu and being run-down all last week, I managed to drag myself out of the house on Saturday night, only because some out-of-town friends were here visiting. I ended up at the Billiken Club, where I caught the tail-end of Bunnygrunt 's set; the Blondie cover of "One Way or Another" was choice. I stayed for the beginning of Dark Meat -- the trumpet-driven noise abstraction flattened me like a sonic wind tunnel (and sounded great), but I was feeling antsy so left. There were about 50, 60 people there. I [...]
So the story goes like this. Diplo was accidentally hit by Dark Meat's tour bus at SXSW and after they took him to the hospital, the two found a common interest in music and played some shows together throughout the south and released a split single for Chunklet's "WhirlyBall" singles series. Now this great story has to come to the surface via Mad Decent's new web-exclusive show "Mad Mad World." Catchy title, yes. Awesome idea, very much so. The first episode features footage of Dark Meat and Diplo telling the odd story of how they met, along [...]
After Diplo was nearly killed by Dark Meat's tour bus at SXSW, the two joined forces, made some music, and played some shows in the South. True story. Together, these two cats released the EP "Split" on Insound . Dark Meat unleashes their version of Iggy Pop's "Success," followed by Diplo, who rocks his "Unsuccessful Space Dub."
With all the music related activities this weekend has to offer (see: Bumbershoot , Fuck Yeah Fest , and memorial day cookouts with iPod docks), most of us will have plenty of do over the next 72 hours. Still, hopefully you can carve out a few minutes to check out this weekend's edition of our Friday Mixtape. As alwas, included below is a mix of new singles, fun remixes, and some tunes from up-and-comers you just might want to check out... NEW Singles: "Already Down" by Awesome Color [...]

My day two Popfest experience comprised of my first full day starting off at 2:00 pm at Little Kings, which would lead into an incredibly long day that wouldn't end until around 3:00 am. It also presented a sort of problem schedule-wise, as later in the day there were two different venues (40 Watt and Caledonia Lounge) that had scheduled acts going on at the same time. It's unfortunate, because I wasn't able to visit Caledonia at all during the entire time I was in Athens. I guess it was possible to run between the two venues since they were [...]
You remember when you made that special girl or boy in your life a mixtape? How romantic! You pussy. Well just wait until you get married and all you hear is how you used to do romantic things like that, but now all you do is sit around with your hands down your pants crying. Uhm, I mean...errr...nevermind. We recently did some fun sessions with the kids from Super!Alright! & Dell Summer Rocks recently, and they [...]

I hope everyone has their datebooks out, because the fall concert season is, to put it mildly, insane in the membrane here in St. Louis. Adding to the mayhem? Now that school is on the verge of starting, the two college venues are starting to announce shows. Wash U's Gargoyle has Ratatat over Labor Day weekend (August 30, to be specific), the Cribs on September 11 and Broken Social Scene on October 18. (With the amazing Land of Talk opening the latter show. Hi, who's carpooling with me to the [...]
When I saw this post on Gorilla Vs. Bear , it reminded me that a certain sPop-lovin' someone suggested I post me some Love Is All . It just so happens Love Is All is the hardest rocking sPop outfit in all of Sweden. Would any other band in Sweden cover LungLeg ?? I think, well, maybe. LungLeg do represent the (gulp) "softer side" of the whole riot grrrl thing. For downloading purposes I bring you said LungLeg cover: "Kung-Fu On The Internet" (box.net mp3) And don't forget to [...]
Daca o sa cauti Dark Meat pe google o sa gasesti tot felul de filme porno, ceea ce e ok - da bine pentru un brand sa fie asociat cu un produs sexual. Mai ales ca simpla lor prezenta te face putin confuz si ii sperie pe neinitiati, oricat ar fi de curiosi. In realitate, trupa nu are nimic pornografic, e de un electro difuz, psihedelic si dance-punk (hah!). Imi aminteste de Death From Above, desi sunt mult mai complecsi - nu mai putin de 17 persoane contribuie la albumul Universal Indians, reeditat anul acesta. Din punctul asta de vedere [...]

I was sorry to hear about George Carlin's passing, but 71 is a very respectable run for a guy who not only turned "Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker & tits" into poetry, but probably "nicotine valium vicodin marijuana ecstasy & alcohol... c-c-c-c-cocaine!!!" as well. This weekend, pull some bongs and watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey in his honour. All of this

I've seen some pretty ridiculous live shows, but Dark Meat 's performance at Summer Camp might just take the cake. The band was placed on the "camping stage" named so because it was in the middle of a big campgrounds with tents surrounding them at every corner, a stage that could comfortably hold 4-5 people plus instruments. Somehow they managed to get all 18 of their band members on stage (including 2 violinists, 4 horn players, 5 percussionist, 3 guitarists, 2 singers, a keyboardist, and piccoloist). They even brought along Montreal er / solo artist The [...]
