It's easy to get swept away in the tide of Beyonce fandom. There's just nobody with a presence quite so commanding, nobody with more seemingly effortless diva swagger. Still, we try to stay objective. But really, like, wow. This trailer for her upcoming Mrs. Carter Show World Tour . What can you say? In the clip, Bey is a queen surrounded by people who worship her (so it's basically a documentary about her life), and there's slow-motion choreography and then a The Hills finale-esque pullback to show the camera crew, and it's just [...]
One of 20122s memorable club tunes was a quirky, catchy disco instrumental titled Inspector Norse. The official music video centres on a regular guy whose interests happen to include making his own drugs, wearing Christmas lights and dancing wherever he goes. Yesterday a link popped up on Facebook and I discovered the story was real. Poignant and funny, if not a little exploitative, this award-winning short by Kristoffer Borgli explores the fate of a man coming to terms with his love of music and his life as a never-was.
My recent op-ed piece which claimed that metal vocalists have become irrelevant has generated quite a bit of discussion. Responses ran the gamut from backlash to support to everything in between, with plenty of dissection of some of the finer points and nuances both for and against. The Ocean's mastermind and guitarist Robin Staps and IKILLYA's [...]

Estrogen Highs likes to switch back and forth between straight-ahead punk and power-pop. This would be a cool idea if Estrogen Highs were any good at playing power-pop. They aren't. Estrogen Highs spends their second album, Irrelevant Future, straddling the line between punk and pop. Actually they don't really straddle the line so much as jump back and forth across it, repeatedly. Opener "Tell it to Them" is a 2-minute blast of punk energy, as frontman/guitarist/keyboardist /songwriter Stefan Christensen shout-sings his way through the track while the band pounds away on simple chords. But second song "Alchemy Contest" is much [...]
In the first 10 minutes, we learn that yung Alfa witnessed his moms (a former skrippuh) repeatedly beat up when he was 3. At 8 he was boosting boxes of Twinkies. He bout that murder life. My only criticism, as an uppitty Northern bleck, is that this hour long documentary isn't accompanied with subtitles. Shit goes hard though.

If you're a fledgling metal band trying to break into the big time, allowing a movie to be made about your struggles is probably a bad idea. Remember Acrassicauda? The heavily persecuted Iraqi band pulled on the heart strings of the entire metal world in 2007, and the folks at Vice felt so moved by [...]
Since it's birth in 2009, Kokeshi has slowly built up a small but impressive back catalogue of quality dubstep and electronica with artists such as Alley Cat , Lung and Kiat making their mark and proving that space and depth filled beats can still provide dancefloor friendly material. The label released its first artist album this week and it's Irrelevant that's come up with the goods on "I'll Be Ok". Spread over thirteen tracks, it's a brilliant album that blends well constructed ambient soundscapes with crisp clean beats and [...]
Or: Why we no longer care who’s inducted
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Movies George Pimentel, WireImage A reflective and melancholy Bono confessed today that watching Davis Guggenheim's brand new film, ' From the Sky Down ,' has forced him to confront some harsh truths about his band's continued artistic relevance. At a Toronto International Film Festival press conference Friday (Sept. 9) in support of the U2 doc, which explores the creative process and near [...]

Chain & The Gang is great. Oratory punk rock with politics on sleeve, tongue in cheek and a beat you can dance to. And did I mention Shangra-La style vocal interjections? Yeah. That’s right. What else do you need? Really? I got a chance to talk with frontman Ian Svenonius (a.k.a. Name Names) the other day. You may remember him from such bands as Make-Up, Scene Creamers, Weird War and Nation of Ulysses—or perhaps as the charming host of Soft Focus, a music-oriented talk show on VBS.TV. When I caught up with him he was reading some [...]
What To Do When Your Mainstream Blog has Become Irrelevant We haven't regularly visited Pitchfork in a couple years, but the news they're launching a site called Altered Zones July 7, caught our attention. This came out yesterday and all...
We are very stoked to present Irrelevant Interviews, Kat Gardiner's new weekly column for LocalCut. The title pretty much tells you what you need to know! -Ed. The Moondoggies are one part harmony, one part crescendo, one part cedar. Hailing from Seattle and taking notes from its folky roots and Alaskan highway dreams, this quartet finds itself at home in the Americana landscape of the Northwest, surrounded by yellowing pictures of relatives and shredded flannel shirts. If you love to lie on your back in the grass and listen to your mom’s [...]
