There's a lot of pork in Asheville, NC. Like, tons. Everywhere you go, they're advertising beef, BBQ, and, well, pork. It's sort of funny because there's also a lot of tofu. (Hey, vegans gotta eat something.) And yet it's this polarizing, yet mutual, relationship that exemplifies the town's unique persona. Oh, delightful food. But food bonds us. It's the one thing that anyone can agree upon (anorexics, religious fanatics excluded): We gotta eat. And with a weekend party like Moogfest , which essentially strangles the town for three long nights, the overall community of food is an [...]
Halloween is on Monday, so there should be a good handful people in costume out and about this weekend -- kind of like the zombies at the Dallas Observer Music Award Showcase. And there will be...

Are you surprised that the Flaming Lips would already have plans set for next year's Record Store Day? It really shouldn't be all that shocking. Especially since this is the band that released a six-hour song and is planning on releasing a 24-hour song. Billboard spoke to Wayne Coyne who said that the band is creating a compilation featuring collaborations with artists they've already worked with including Neon Indian, Lightning Bolt and Prefuse 73. But what's more interesting are the upcoming collabs the band is readying. [...]
Photo by Heather Kaplan In between marijuana flavored gummy brains , gummy fetuses , real skulls , and 6-hour and 24-hour songs, The Flaming Lips' weird-as-fuck 2011 output has also included high profile collaborations with the likes of Neon Indian , Lightning Bolt , and Prefuse 73 . All of these collaborative tracks have made their way online (just click those links), but physical copies of the releases were limited to select record stores across the country. Now, though, Billboard reports [...]
"There's a term called 'Echotone'...where nature and civilization meet." The meeting of nature and civilization is more like a collision and it is loud . The collision of condos and night clubs is loud. The collision of SXSW and Austin is loud. The collision of artist and businessman is loud. The collision of art and commerce is loud. Echotone is loud, and is another music documentary that should be played loud. Directed by Nathan Christ and photographed by Robert Garza, Echotone is a multifaceted and pragmatic look at [...]
This is it folks, the final spotlight before ACL! This time around I've got Chromeo , your dance party for the festival this year. Chromeo is a Canadian duo, and they've been blasting out their electronic dance beats for some time. For years they burned up the dance floors in cool cities all across the globe, and just recently they've started making more of a national name for themselves. Just one listen, and you're bound to have one of their hooks banging around in your [...]
the dodos | photo by whitperson This is another one of those week's of live music in NYC that requires some serious skills with scheduling and logistics. There are a ton of great shows and there's just not enough time, energy, and cash flow to take them all in. Since I'm still out of pocket, and there's so much to choose from, I'm foregoing my normal highlight reel and just going with the entire list. Call me a slacker if you will, but given all these options, I think I'm mainly just indecisive... [...]
America's economy limps along and our leaders bicker on, so how refreshing that Sir Richard Branson for the third consecutive year offered recession-battered music lovers another world-class music festival for free, only requesting the good karma be paid forward with a small donation to benefit homeless youth. Deadmau5 made history as the first electronic dance music act to close the festival on a stage previously played only by bands and hip-hop acts. Anyone new to deadmau5 definitely left schooled as the multi-genre Canadian producer, with a spectacular full-stage theatrical LED lighting extravaganza, struck a [...]

Written for TheAudioPerv.com Photos by Tamea Agle ( photobytamea.com ) More photos below. Upon arriving at the large canyon where Pacific Festival: OC was situated, my first thought was "where is everyone?" Even though the festival had already been going on for about an hour before my photographer Tamea and I got there, there was no line getting in and barely anyone wandering around the grounds. We staked out the place, crossing through the main stage area, through the array of still-close food trucks, to [...]

The first installment of SoundTown Music Festival in Somerset, WI, had a lot riding on the shoulders of 2,500 attendees. The new management of the former Float-Rite Park Amphitheater tried to revamp the arena's image after years of Ozzfest-induced damage to the grounds and its reputation in the town of Somerset. And what better way to do it than to bring in beloved local bands with a Flaming Lips cherry on top? Granted, it's not quite the same when a 40,000-person amphitheater is about five percent full, but who notices when you're in the front row reaching for [...]

As we drove down the 5 freeway headed to the Pacific Festival, the excitement level was rising like a hot kettle on the stove. With a loaded lineup headlined by Snoop Dogg & Cut Copy and artists such as Calvin Harris, Phantogram, Ghostland Observatory, Steve Aoki, Fred Falke, Bag Raiders, The C902s, !!! (Chk, Chk, [...]
