Forgotten Songs: Album Tracks That Should Have Been Singles

Jul 11, 2012, 11:20pm THEME FOR GREAT CITIES

I have no problem admitting this particular shortcoming: I'm thoroughly hit and miss when it comes to predicting pop hits and misses. Sometimes, I couldn't pick out a surefire hit single if I woke up from a dead sleep singing it. I love what I love, and it's not necessarily what the masses love. The first dozen or so times I listened to Mariah Carey's The Emancipation of Mimi in 2005, back when the first single, "It's Like That," was limping up Billboard's Hot 100 en route to it's eventual No. 16 peak, not once [...]

Bridge & Law

Jul 6, 2012, 3:00pm the metropolitan jolt

Bridge & Law, otherwise known as Lucas Ranalli, is an 18 year old from Toronto who's been conjuring up some very creative interpretations of tracks. This McGill student's remix of "Love Me Lots" is just one example. This track has an extremely unique intro that really grabs your attention. His "Love Me Lots" is extra catchy and almost piano-esque in its theme. It's an awesome electronic track that emanates a sweet swaying feeling. Bridge & Law's twist on Foster the People 's "Pumped Up Kicks" is also another success. It keeps much of the original track's popular [...]

These Are the Bands That Make You Totally Undateable

Jul 3, 2012, 12:00pm Flavorwire

A couple of weeks back, our esteemed literary editor Emily Temple surveyed the books that might make you beat a hasty retreat if you saw them on a potential date's bookshelf, or in their handbag. The post got plenty of heated comments, and it also got us thinking about the other place you might look to snoop on a date's cultural credentials: their record collection (or, failing that, their iPod.) And so, as we did for books, we asked around Flavorpill central to find out which artists might, if discovered on a potential date's playlist, put an end [...]

Review & Videos: Foster the People brings pumped-up beats, Mayer Hawthorne and Kimbra to the Greek Theater, 6/29/12

Jul 2, 2012, 3:30pm The Bay Bridged

About two-thirds of the way through Foster the People ’s sold out show at the Greek Theater in Berkeley Friday evening, frontman-keyboardist Mark Foster noted his band is just a handful of shows away from No. 300. That’s 300 concerts since the band went from throwing “Pumped Up Kicks” at anyone who would have it, for free, online – 15 months ago – to a stage show that now includes multiple projection screens, giant blow-up album art characters, a marching band and a flame-headed emcee who oversaw the festivities through the mouth of [...]

the interview show: Gigamesh

Jun 28, 2012, 12:49am Winnie Cooper

I met the blonde giant known as Gigamesh in a Starbucks in downtown Vancouver. He was doing a little production while he waited. Matt aka Gigamesh started out remixing with his brother, calling themselves Discotech , but he has since gone solo, making some of my favorite remixes. Recently he has started his own orignal productions, releasing an EP on the Kitsune label. I get him to chat about remixing and he is surprisingly candid. (Seriously, you will not believe some of the stuff this guy says!) [...]

Midsummer roundup

Jun 23, 2012, 12:32pm Tracasseur

As you maybe know, we Swedes celebrate Midsummer this weekend. It's one of our classic festivals that is the second most celebrated holiday except Christmas. The biggest celebration party was yesterday, that means that most Swedes today are pretty tired and pretty hungover. Sweden as a country is not that fast today, so if any other country would like to invade us, I think this day could be the one to choose. The tradition is clear and simple, it occurs round the summer solstice and we drink "Brännvin" (a kind of akvavit or flavoured [...]
