Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter opened up to the Rolling Stone on how the band's anonymity has not always worked in their favour. The one half of the famous French duo spoke about how a night out in Ibiza backfired when a man ran up a huge bar tab pretending to be them. He explained - "One thing I like about the masks is that I don't have people constantly coming up to me and reminding me what I do," he told Rolling Stone. "It's nice to be able to forget, but there are occasional downsides. Several years [...]
To start off the interview with Joey Ryan of the Milk Carton Kids , I did something that's probably a total "no-no" if were a more traditional media outlet. I told him a personal story and said "thanks," because the Milk Carton Kids latest album The Ash & Clay has literally made my life easier. I kid you not, every single time I play the album, my little rugrat son drops his head on my shoulder and falls asleep. It's usually within one song, but at the most three or four. It’s a total daily ritual, and it never [...]
Haerts' previous single, 'Wings', was without doubt one of our favourite singles of last year and on it the group displayed 'a Haim-ish bop indebted to Fleetwood Mac, sunset drives and a delicious groove.' Their new cut, 'All My Days', premiered today over on Elle and the results are once again rather charming. Showcasing a darker side of the group than the sunshine-inspired 'Wings', this has a subtle sinister streak running through its bouncy blood. There is something about Nini Fabi's voice that makes us sit up and take notice. That it's sitting [...]
It's almost unbelievable to think that The Old Silent have only been an actual, like, existing band since February of this year. What's so incredibly exciting is that their debut single, released on 17th June, shows so much damn promise. Consisting of four gents from the Liverpool music scene that at last seem to have struck on a winning formula, The Old Silent are an alluring mix of grungy guitars, folky harmonies and wistful melodies. According the group themselves, 'Ill Wind' is "a song about a time when I was feeling restless and anxious about [...]
We love interesting projects. And DAVIDS, whose tunes dropped into our inbox today with a particularly engaging note, certainly seems like an interesting project. Hailing from Canada and going only by the name of DAVIDS, this is the product of a move back into his parent's house and features vocals from Mitch Bowden. As to who DAVIDS consists of - well, we're not too sure yet, but they drop their debut EP on 4th June. The video to 'Dead Walkie', which was shot in Lyon, directed by Christopher Mills (Interpol, Broken Social Scene, Modest Mouse, Rush) [...]
The Fast and the Furious franchise has been experiencing a bit of a rebirth since Fast & Furious was released in 2009. Directed by Justin Lin, Fast & Furious tied together to the first film of the franchise, The Fast and the Furious , and established a continuity for the next sequels to follow. 20112s Fast Five brought an injection to the franchise that Fast & Furious lacked, bringing in newcomer Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a formidable opposite to franchise star Vin Diesel. With a tighter narrative that slowly moved away from the street racing it was [...]
Brace yourself for our second gushing Light in the Attic post of the week: the label has announced the first vinyl reissue of our favorite hip-hop record ever , Digable Planets ' still somewhat under-appreciated, ahead-of-its-time 1994 classic, Blowout Comb . The limited edition first pressing of the reissue comes with an embossed cover and 183 × 243 fold-out poster, with the first 150 pre-orders pressed on white wax .

This weekend is not just any other Indians-Red Sox matchup. It may be the most significant matchup between these two clubs since the 2007 American League Championship Series. Why? After a firing, a TV Job, an invitation rejection to the 100th game, and a Dan Shaughnessy book, Terry Francona is coming back to Fenway Park. By the way, I have high odds for a standing ovation of the former Sox manager the minute he steps onto the warning track on the third base side. What is really worth an ovation is where he has the Cleveland Indians [...]
Kids are cute. Occasionally they have extremely ambitious and logically impossible goals like growing up to be a dinosaur or living off of Lunchables and Sunny D forever. That being said, Sufjan Stevens' has company. His ambitious musical map of the US of A project, had he continued, would have came to a close around 2053 with Stevens sitting at the ripe age of 78. Seems unlikely. Of course, I would have loved to see it happen. The man can write damn good music, which is why I'm here writing about how you should listen to his album [...]
TV Girl is back after last year's The Wild, The Innocent, The TV Shuffle LP, released through Das Racist affiliate label Greedhead, with a self-released EP titled Lonely Women .

Raised by my parents- who are rock n’ roll purists- I didn’t know much about hiphop at a young age. For years I was grown up under the impression that hiphop was inherently bad; it sexualized women, made kids violent, and idolized drugs. It also didn’t help that my only knowledge of hiphop was my cousin’s infatuation with Lil Bow Wow, Vanilla Ice’s pop phenomena “Ice, Ice Baby,” and Will Smith. So growing up in the sheltered streets of suburban America made my taste for hiphop, a journey of self- discovery. [...]

Video Premiere + Interview: Robby Hunter Band – Hard on Me
There are so many bands on the cusp of success; some bands make it, some bands don't. For a band to make it, they need to have their ducks in a row and um, all of their eggs in one basket. Robby Hunter Band has done these things-not recklessly but quietly and methodically. Their music is beach-tinged, summer heaven with hints of Caribbean flare. The video below is funny and self-aware and right in time for the season of the sun. This is music for you to zone out to with a Corona and [...]

New Album: Washed Out – Paracosm
20132s already been an amazing year for new music from our favorite artists, but it's shaping up to get even more exciting with the sophomore record from Washed Out , Paracosm , which Sub Pop will drop on August 13, just in time for the dog days of summer. It seems like it'll be a game-changing release from Ernest Greene - he confirmed he used more than 50 instruments on the record, maybe trying to shake off his chillwave designator. The first single will be called "It All Feels Right," but it doesn't have a release date [...]

Postcards From Page Side: Wishes for Phish’s 30th Anniversary
Anticipation. Tension before the release. Two of the things that Phish has always been masters of. And with summertime looming, which will see Phish embark on the beginning of their 30th year as a band, expectations are running sky high - especially for this journalist and fan who can't wait to see what they have in store for us. So, for this week's column, I simply wanted to run down a short list of some things I would like to see happen throughout the rest of the year. [...]
