As an avid hip-hop fan, I generally prefer classics, and until recently have agreed with Nas that 'hip-hop is dead". Rarely do I stray from this view, constantly exposed to tired and worn out catch phrases, mere simulacrum of something that must have meant something at some point but no one can remember anymore. Swag swag swag. Gratefully, occasionally a fresh sound manages to come out of the muck and reminds us what hip-hop can be. Pittsburgh-based rapper Bruce Thornton II, aka 'Zeph' is one such exception. His latest project "Drown in the Sky" is a welcome [...]
I got pulled over tonight. Nothing big, just a bad taillight. The cop may have thought I was trying to evade him, pulling into the dark, always vacant Skagit Valley College parking lot late on a Friday night. As soon as I rounded the corner, his lights went on. He was really nice, just wanted to give me a heads up that the light was off. Made sure my license was valid, I had insurance, and the old beater BMW was a registered vehicle. And he let me [...]
(together) acts as a B-side remix of tracks off Burst Apart rerecorded with some of their very talented friends.
Last night I had to relish the only Thursday appearance by my beloved Donkeys. Most everywhere will sing the praises of a last minute drive directed by Tebow that ended up winning the game. However, the defense led by a ferocious rookie, Von Miller, is making opposing QB's pay play after play. On one of Miller's sacks, Von landed his helmet in Sanchez's sternum and plowed him to the ground. I winced upon watching the replay and the reaction from Sanchez's face was priceless to see him get back up to continue the punishment. Elvis "Doom" Dummervil [...]

![[Listen] The Antlers: "Patentheses" (PVT Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3863564_lg.jpg)
Desde que vi el tracklist de este nuevo EP de The Antlers creo que lo que mas me llamo la atencion fue este remix que se estreno hace apenas unos momentos al mando de PVT (anteriormente conocidos como Pivot, pero de eso ya tiene rato) y es que en parte se debe a que ya tenia mucho tiempo sin tener noticias sobre ellos pese a que el año pasado lanzaron un muy buen album titulado "Light Up Bright Fires" pero desde entonces no he sabido mucho de ellos en realidad. Pero bueno, este remix que le [...]

German duo Modeselektor are due to release their third studio album this September. The record, entitled Monkeytown, was recorded over a 10 week intensive period and marks the first album that the pair recorded in studio "100% together". With a track record for powerful collaborations, Modeselektor don't fail to impress with Monkeytown featuring guest appearances from Anti Pop Consortium, PVT, Busdriver, and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, who makes an appearance on the melancholy album finale 'This,' as well as earlier track 'Shipwreck' which isn't so dissimilar to something you might hear on [...]

Photo by Birgit Kaulfuss Modeselektor , the German electro super duo featuring Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary, are destined for a few big months. In August, they'll play Lollapalooza before jumping aboard the first-ever Identity festival. Then, on October 4th, Modeselektor will return with their latest full length LP, Monkeytown , and it features guest appearances from some folks you've heard of above. A tracklist is still forthcoming, but an issued press release says Thom Yorke, who has collaborated with the duo in the past , will appear [...]
The problem with having a three and a half day party binge, is that it results in a three and a half day hangover. We've finally begun to feel human again and can now look back at a marathon Great Escape Festival that once again saw the music industry crammed into our tiny home city of Brighton for the weekend. Like most established music blogs we continue to get intertwined with that industry with each passing year, and so the whole experience of The Great Escape twists with it. Here's what we experienced... Most of the [...]
And they're off! With our press pass collected, we headed off to the official launch party last night and enjoyed a night filled with booze, bands and chats with bloggers. Perfect, as the plan is to simply repeat exactly that for the next three days! On this blog we would love to try and post each day's review as we go along, but we will most likely be too busy seeing shows and going to parties, so apologies for a lack of running commentary. We will definitely be posting up our gig reviews and photography afterwards in a [...]
Le 15 septembre 2010 dernier, PVT , alors venu présenter son second LP, Church With No Magic ( chronique ), embrasait de sa puissance de feu étourdissante un Nouveau Casino qui n'en demandait pas tant ( report ). Voilà qu'après une tournée dantesque au quatre coins du globe, le groupe des frères Pike, originaire de Sydney et digne représentant - avec Battles - d'un rock expérimental chapeauté par Warp , revient en France, et plus précisément le 26 avril au Point Éphémère pour une affiche - partagée avec Cercueil [...]
