With a week of wide spread revolts and occupation by the 99% of us, the nation-wide mourning of Steve Jobs, and the unfortunate omnipresence of Lana Del Rey, the burgeois agenda of mediocrity ruled supreme. If you think the Nirvana, Nevermind 20th Anniversary exhumations are killing the legend, more material may very well be on the way as Butch Vig revealed the existence of a still yet to be released Nirvana track "Song in D" during a Sirius XM's Lithium channel interview conducted...
Screaming Females, the three-piece New Jersey garage band that we have already praised here and here , are reissuing their two early albums that have long been out of print, as they were self-released and sold only at shows. The records, Baby Teeth and What If Someone Is Watching Their T.V.? , are both being printed on vinyl and seeing a second run via Don Giovanni Records, due to hit stores on October 4th. To celebrate this, Screaming Females are offering one lucky One Thirty BPM reader a signed copy of [...]
While hurricane Irene wreaked havoc on the eastern seaboard, it is almost a relief to be able to pin our misgivings on a natural disaster. Perhaps we can blame Irene for the Jack White I.C.P. collaboration, or Lil Wayne's uninspired Tha Carter IV or whoever is watching Kanye and Jay-Z's Throne.

It's a mellow, Block Beataz production with lyrics about leaving posts on Facebook walls, unborn daughters, strip clubs, [...]
Originally released as a podcast via his label Stones Throw, multi-instrumentalist Jonti has decided to give away Sine & Moon as a mixtape. It features 13 tracks from when he began making music following his move to Australia from South Africa. Most notably, it kicks off with "Saturday Night Songs," which was the very first song he recorded. The ukulele-driven tune serves as an ode to his homeland while also easing you into the trippy, headphones-ready affair that is Sine & Moon . There's also a pretty killer joint featuring some rapping from Jonwayne, who [...]
