"Technically there's nothing wrong with this kind of album. It's easy listening, radio-ready for sure, but none of the songs are particularly memorable..." The Big Pink | Future This Finally. After a long-awaited hiatus of almost three years, electronic duo Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell return with their second album Future This following the renowned success of A Brief History Of Love . After slipping in under the radar back in 2009 and winning the Philip Hall Radar Award at the Shockwaves NME Awards, they shaped up to be quite the [...]

Earlier this month James from Toronto Screen Shots announced that, starting January 13, 2012, he will be running a program entitled Shorts That Are Not Pants . This quarterly event is designed to showcase both Canadian and International short films to audiences who would not normally get the chance to see them. This has inspired me to not only seek out more short films, but to also try a little harder to highlight them on this site. What better way to kick off this initiative then with The Palace , the film that [...]

I'm not sure if I've ever seen an escalation to stardom go down faster than it happened for ASAP Rocky. The Harlem native dropped the bizarre "Purple Swag" back in July, and pretty much rode it to a $3 million deal and a spot on Drake's upcoming Club Paradise tour. I'm sorry what? His most recent mixtape Live, Love A$AP has people buzzing, raking in rave reviews left and right. After a couple listens, I gotta say I'm on the band wagon. That being said though, I'm not sure if I'm now a fan because of ASAP's rapping, or because [...]

I listened to this track in the wee hours of the morning last night after Spank Rock and Big Freedia killed it in Downtown Miami. S/O to the Check Your Pony Tail show for holding it down. This track is dope and gets me hyped in a real trill way. 01. ASAP Rocky - Palace (Prod. By Clams Casino) by justisaacbruh

photos by Autumn Andel The Treasure Island Music Festival went down over two days on a small island in the San Francisco Bay , juggling two stages and acts that ranged from Death From Above 1979 to Cut Copy to St Vincent. The bands and sets were staggered so that changeovers allowed for the audience to see all of each band which, on day 1, included appearances from Death From Above 1979 , [...]

Lately, I feel like the only thing I've been listening to is hip hop -- and, really, it's the only thing that's been exciting me in music at the moment. Over the past few years, I've become increasingly interested in the genre, mostly due to its adventurous, and occasionally experimental, production. The latest rapper to catch my ear is Harlem native ASAP Rocky (or A$AP Rocky). I somehow managed to miss all the buzz surrounding him, which is rather surprising considering he's being heralded as a new type of star due to the success [...]

Clear some space out, so we can space out . Shabazz Palaces ' Black Up , an album big on ideas and rich in detail, finds its sweet spot when the space is cleared and all that's left behind is the barest and most essential of ingredients. Ishmael Butler's crisp no-nonsense rapping takes its rightful place at the forefront, finding an almost hypnoptic rhythm buoyed only by a neatly sampled vintage chorus of meandering oohs. Meanwhile, Tendai Maraire's agreeable beats flit comfortably between the two while giving generous room for stretching out. On paper at least, this may [...]
We love to torture our parents. And as you might assume, our preferred method is through the use of modern music: the stuff kids listen to these days. So in the latest edition of What Our Parents Think, we took advantage of the generosity and love from our sires and put the musical limits of [...]
