StoryCorps has come up with The National Day of Listening : the day after Thanksgiving, you record a conversation/interview between you and someone you love. This could be a friend, sibling, parents, grandparent, anybody. You'll be surprised by what they'll say. You don't have to use StoryCorps equipment (there's a handy-dandy DIY guide on the site) but the StoryKits are top of the line. And your recording will be stored in the Library of Congress. The National Day of Listening is both cheaper and way more valuable than Black Friday. NDL, dare I say, kicks BF's ass. [...]
Mashup Monday – We're going to melt you faces off with enough mashed up music to make you wanna slap yo' mama. Earmilk staff itstk and JSully will be bringing you the dopest dope in the mashup world. We've been scouring the music lands, and filing through tracks that you enthusiastic readers and musicians have sent us. We've found mashups from DJ's far and wide. We've found down-tempo ones.

Big concert! Talib Kweli and Mos Def performing on the same ticket, so you know that everyone was thinking the same thing: Blackstar! Boy was it sick. Chris will cover it later. First though, Jay Electronica opened with a humor infused set heavily influenced by slam poetry. Really original and clear rhymes. Jay did a great job of warming the crowd up for a highly-anticipated night of hip hop. Following some downtime, Talib Kweli burst onstage and for the next hour he proceeded to blast the adoring crowd with spitfire verse after spitfire verse backed by a heavy, pounding beats. [...]
SPIN.com chooses its Top 25 MGMT Remixes. I like them: "All My Children" ( MGMT vs. LCD Soundsystem ), Immuzikation Immuzikation , a.ka. Athens, Georgia's Alfredo P. Lapuz, Jr., is the mash-up man of the moment, and this extended massaging of LCD's "All My Friends" (basically a mash-up of Steve Reich and New Order, anyway) with MGMT 's "Kids" is a fascinating mix of aging hipster regret and childlike hipster nostalgia. The soundtrack to a changing of the guard? ( DOWNLOAD [...]
photo by: Steve Mitchell I've been stalling finishing this write-up. It's hard to sit and rehash three days of a festival you honestly weren't that impressed with. But, I realize most of the readers of this site did not have to opportunity attend Lollapalooza, so I'll keep continue with the recap. Day two was the most lackluster of the three days. I am actually consulting my festival guide as I write this to remind myself whom I saw. We woke up late Saturday after a wild [...]
Damn! I was gonna post the New MGMT video for their 3rd single, 'Electric Feel', but it's embedding has been disabled by the band it seems. Sucks! They had a video for Electric before, but this new one is way better. Click HERE to check it out directly on youtube . I have to say I wasn't the biggest fan at first, but they've grown on me and now I can't get enough of them. Their debut album 'Oracular Spectacular' has got to be one of the best albums [...]

As I sat at my computer during the last month I had but one thought on my mind; how can I make this volume of Best of the Remix the most absolutely epic post of all time. And I got to wondering, pondering even, how this could be done. I've had some pretty wicked BOTR posts in the past six months {for a full list click here }, but I wanted to see if I could take this one post to never before achieved levels here on TWF. The thing is I've noticed a trend lately [...]
