If there is one thing I learned putting together our MASSIVE 3.3 hours, 38 song, from womb to now mixtape of kickin' favourites from every stinking possible year of my life is that I'm getting old. Yep, it's true. Little by little, one grey hair, one fresh wrinkle at a time. Sure, I know what you are thinking, "Tsuru, that can't be so, you is one fine lookin' man, tried & true! If it weren't for that TsuruBride , I'd be all over you like white on rice (or even yellow on [...]

The Black Lips took the stage Wednesday night obscured by a thick cloud of vapor that poured out of a nearby fog machine and tasted vaguely of waffles. The haze cleared quickly, revealing the four Lip... Continue reading "Concert Review: Black Lips at the Bottleneck" >
Illustration by Gemma Correll Words by Phil Inzurriaga THE TIME IS NIGH. The culmination of my entire year. One week full of my absolute favorite things in the world that start with the letter b : Beer, Babes, Bands. Who knows where those three would rank on a normal day, but for one great week in March, it's all about BANDS. SXSW is one of the major jumpoffs for new bands. With the entire internet and virtually every magazine known to man in Austin, Texas, bands are made during this week. At [...]
Typically, by now I've given up caring about the music schmooze fest going on next week known as SXSW , but this year is different. I've somehow managed to convince my day job that they needed to send me down to Austin to partake in the massive Texas orgy of booze, BBQ and bands. With a mind-numbing number of bands playing over the course of the fest, it's a daunting task making heads or tails of what to see. Here's songs from six bands that I intend to check out. Enjoy and have a great weekend all. [...]

Thanks to the Pitchfork twitter for this one. (Click to listen) Simplicity seems to be easy to comprehend yet difficult to produce. The paradox that's locked in that statement is comparable to the likes of the minimalist movement in visual art, holding the boxed, hued colors of precise thought and inferred beauty. This psalm uses a clear-beachy guitar to strum a rhythm that harnesses this simplicity but somehow reflects this simplicity in glorious circle of light held up by a chain of hidden snap-like links keeping time. The gentle whistle and background voice of King [...]

Ah, the disillusioning moment. Just when I think I might be hip, something pops up to remind that indeed, no, I am not. What in this case? A little band called King Khan & the Shrines. Were I hip, I would have already been listening to these guys. See, anyone who is into music (which [...]
