This playlist is inspired by G.O.O.D. Music's/Kanye West's Cruel Summer leaking into the blogosphere yesterday. Last night, I gave the album a listen, wasn't crazy about it, but not disappointed either. There was one song that stuck out however, "To The World ft. R. Kelly." It's great. I'll leave it at that because I want you to decide for yourself when you hear it by hitting play below. Also on the playlist, to name a few Atmosphere , P.O.S . and Tupac . Enjoy and have a great Friday! [...]
that title was purely presented to throw you so you watched that. LOVE YOU

Teen Daze : Lets Groove Τί κοινό έχει το μετρό με το γυμναστήριo; Πολλά. Περισσότερα από όσα μπορείς να φανταστείς. Και εξηγούμαι. Τον τελευταίο καιρό έχω βγάλει από τη καθημερινότητά μου διάφορα πράγματα μεταξύ των οποίων τη γιόγκα και το αυτοκίνητο. Το δεύτερο γιατί υπάρχει πια το μετρό και το πρώτο γιατί μετά από αρκετά χρόνια αυτοελέγχου, διαλογισμού, ομφαλοσκόπησης και αυτοπεριορισμού σκάλωσα στο ότι δεν αρκεί να γίνω εγώ καλός άνθρωπος. Ίσως είχε νόημα αν κάναμε διαλογισμό όλοι οι Αθηναίοι μαζί για παράδειγμα. Αστειεύομαι. Θα ξαναπέσω κάποια στιγμή φρόνιμα στο [...]
An Argument With Myself - Jens Lekman Sometimes a YouTube video can evoke so many questions: Who are these people? Is there actually a child in that pram? Why does he like riding hippos? What is the difference between liking ... Continue reading

hmmm. much more interesting schtick (not always meant in the pejorative...) from james ferraro. a vision of the future, from the past made in the present, yeah? an atemporality. michael j. fox, baudrillard and buddhist presentism. how this is gonna sound and feel in twenty years time i dunno? maybe that’s the point... it’s a move from the hazy liminal, magnetic tapestates of hypnagogia to the shiny metareality of digital. a light-filled lexulous assemblage, an inoffensive collage of electronic ambience, deheard sounds from consumer geegaws, bad software and eno jingles. the kind of thing [...]

Photo by G. Art by Herbert C. Hippos. Hello My Name is Herbert There's a hippo on the loose! Have you seen that hippo?

We wish Mr. Herbert C. Hippos a happy birthday!

the drums portamento (το διάστημα ή το ταξίδι ανάμεσα σε δύο νότες) είναι η λέξη και ο συμβολισμός της που γοήτευσε τους εναπομείναντες στο σχήμα. Ωστόσο η λέξη die είναι αυτή που ακούγεται συχνότερα και διατρέχει ολόκληρο το άλμπουμ. Τέτοιο ευφορικό, νερβόζο πένθος είχα να ακούσω από Smiths και Orange Juice εποχή. Το Book of Revelation μάλιστα είναι ότι μου κόλλησε πιό απόλυτα και επίμονα τις τελευταίες μέρες. Ξυπνάω και κοιμάμαι με την κορώνα ...and I believe / that when we die we [...]
To explain the brevity of recent updates, my shoulder hurts and it is painful to type. Here is something else short and painful: the deplorable, reprehensible, and entirely notsensible grindcore band Anal Cunt singing about a favoured childhood toy. Ahh, bless.

Σχεδόν το καλύτερο του μήνα. SBTRKT είναι ο Aaron Jerome. Εκ του περισσού αναφέρω: προφέρεται subtract. Τί αφαιρεί; Τη φυσική παρουσία του φορώντας μάσκα για να μην απασχολεί την αντιληψή μας τίποτε άλλο εκτός από τον ήχο. Τι καλός παραγωγός θα ήταν αν δεν σκεφτόταν έτσι. Αφαιρετέα και η φωνή του μια και έχει στη διάθεσή του θαυμάσια φωνητικά από Yukimi Nagano, (Little Dragon), Shampha, Jessie Ware , και Roses Gabor. Αναγκαστικά dubstep θα το πεις , αλλά και τις soul-dance- trip hop- drum & bass- garage- broken beat επιρροές του θα ακούσεις. [...]

There are several things that most people associate with music bloggers; either we're super arrogant about our tastes, or just have loads of free time and connections. For the most part, I think people tend to put me in the first category, considering I have a full-time job that isn't this web site, but I feel like I always have to justify myself, proving I'm not a snob. I'm pretty sure my love for this genre establishes my inability to escape mockery in all instances. It's true, I love ska/ska-punk, whatever you call it. I spent loads of weekends as [...]
LAUREL HALO RELEASES NEW 12-INCH EP ‘HOUR LOGIC’ OUT JUNE 21 ON HIPPOS IN TANKS Laurel Halo returns with Hour Logic, a new 12-inch EP on Hippos in Tanks set for a June 21 release. Hour Logic marks a stylistic evolution in Halo, a result of her sharpened production skills and alchemical acumen; drawing inspiration from pacific IDM, ambient and the techno of her native Michigan, the pop structures of King Felix have morphed into fleeting, mutant grooves, in which her warm vocals, interlocking arrangements and hyperreal ambience continue to shine. LFO tides, self-mutilated vocal samples and [...]

Hippo Campus - Eat Mountains Imagine a countless rush of breathtaking sounds and emotions crossing through your ears all in one song. You just pictured Makan Negahban's Hippo Campus . Negahban spends his days attending university in Irvine, California and creating affectionate experimental music. The singer/songwriter will be releasing his second album Nausea/Cherries soon. The album is split into two parts with completely opposite sounds and ideas on each end. Nausea , the first part of the album, is a collection of textured and somber songs. The second, Cherries , is [...]

Following an EP and a handful of 7"s released on small labels across the board, Austin's Sleep ∞ Over toured both ends of the US preparing to record their debut LP. However, shortly before they were to begin recording, two of the three members dropped out to form a new band (Boy Friend), leaving behind Stefanie Franciotti. Moving on unfazed, she announced the debut to drop this summer following her 7-inch single on Hippos In Tanks. Casual Diamond, available April 7 on vinyl, is a ghostl...
