Ace is the "wild guy in the group" who likes doing mad trickz on his bike, while "AZN Thunda" AKA Brett has a "hard exterior but a soft inside, just like mochi (being from Asia of course)". This is the bio provided of Teengirl Fantasy – actually consisting of Oberlin College students Nick Weiss and [...]
Some things bear worth repeating. Feu Thérèse is one of them, as I feel exposing their music right now would be dramatically more effective than it was in 2007, when I found myself gushing over their debut, Ça Va Cogner. They had apparently split that same year, but their permanent elusiveness had prevented anyone from [...]
Sem duvida um dos melhores discos do ano de 2007 e da carreira dos canadianos Hrsta. A banda inclui ex-membros dos GY!BE, o que por si só, dá uma ideia da qualidade intrínseca da formação. Fica o video do tema The Orchard.

Montreal, Unicorns e Arcade Fire. Punti di partenza per il progetto Clues, nato nel 2007 da Alden Penner (lato Unicorns) e Brendan Reed (parte Arcade Fire) con un basso profilo (nessuna pagina MySpace, facebook neanche considerato, il solo sito di riferimento quello di VillaVillaNola, negozio di musica digitale in cui si possono trovare diversi artisti [...]

Did you all remember to deprive yourselves of one hour of sleep this morning? I sure did! I had to be at work early and the entire day just kind of crept by like the slowest, most excruciating event since...uh...that presentation I had to give for English class my senior year of high school. Sure, on those rare occasions when I actually eat lunch (Sundays only), it usually revitalizes my spirits, but for some reason today it made me even more tired. Oh well. Two more days until my "weekend", and LOST . Too bad Top Chef [...]

After a nice dinner last night at the new Michaelangelo's location in Silver Lake last night, I realized that I didn't have enough time to compile a mix tape and put together the White Hills review. White Hills gets preferential treatment over mix tapes, so that's why I'm posting the mix now, on Monday. I hope you won't mind the tardiness, I think this one's pretty far out there... RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or [...]

Chris From Australia! Thank you for your donation you wonderful, special person you! Nicci from down the street!

In case you have not heard, my roommates are moving out and taking their turntable with them, and I don't have money to buy a new one plus the new phone/contract I have to buy next week. If you love [...]

Hello babes. It's been a long week, but the new mix tape is finally ready to be birthed into this uncertain world of ours. It will stimulate your aural cavities and bring you to climax. Unless, of course, you don't like good music, in which case I strongly advice you point your browser to another website and never return here. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have something else to do. Probably. The above picture was taken Tuesday afternoon when Fawn and I took some of her former students Christmas shopping at Target. As I stated before, she [...]
De traditionele bel ligt wel op de balie in het Constellation-hotel, maar Efrim houdt er absoluut niet van als er zo maar mensen binnenvallen en op het ding rammen. Logisch ook, want zoals je ondertussen weet: bij het Constellation-hotel ben...

O novo trabalho dos canadianos Hrsta de Mike Moya não é definitivamente um disco para se ouvir num dia quente de verão. O ambiente triste e melancólico traz à memória os dias de chuvosos e frios de Inverno. É verdade que este verão tem estado no mínimo um pouco estranho, mas mesmo assim o que apetece é ouvir coisas mais descontraídas… O problema é que é impossível não ouvir este disco vezes e vezes sem conta, sem intervalo para arrumar algumas ideias… Continuando…, este disco ronda a perfeição, do melhor que Moya e companhia já produziram, um bom regresso dos [...]

Even before moving to la belle province four years ago, I have always held a soft spot in my heart for all things Constellation Records . I can honestly say that, through the small independent Montreal label's early offerings (such as GYBE! 's F#A#∞ , Sofa 's Grey & Exhaust 's self-titled debut), the label has played a pretty damn pivotal role in my musical development - inspiring me to delve deeply into everything from post-rock to European gypsy. One of the main people behind many of the [...]
Ex-Trenchmouth drummer, current weekly funnyman Fred Armisen contributed to last night's Tomorrow Show. Today I walked around town today, stopping at Sea Level to buy some half-priced albums before they close their doors. Tonight there was good home-cooking (or so I imagine, I ate a pizza while everyone else labored over the stove and oven) followed by an all-too-brief barbecue/party at a house in the Echo Park hills. Truly it was a good weekend. This is where I'd express dissatisfaction at tomorrow being Monday if I actually had a job...but I don't. So I can talk about anything! Unfortunately, I [...]

Tonight should be fun. This afternoon has been boring. I'm trying to shave. It's not going well. Only I could turn such a mundane task into a life-or-death struggle. Hopefully I won't look like a complete jackass, or kill myself during the grooming process. If you're seeing this for the first time, allow me to welcome you to a week-long rant against all things. Each day this week is being devoted to observations of mine that I find irksome. You know those annoying things that continue to pop up in your life no matter how hard you try [...]
