Unfortunately for all who love tennis, Rafael Nadal is sitting out the 2012 U.S. Open with tendonitis in his knee. But fortunately for Pop Culture Has AIDS, Nadal has agreed to preview the tournament as our special tennis correspondent. After ... Continue reading
It has been quite the year for Sharon Van Etten with her early 2012 release of Tramp receiving praise from so many different artists from many genres. Tramp has literally spent weeks at a time on my turntable, so to say that I was stoked for this show, would be an understatement. Getting close really close to the stage, I expected great things from SVE and her folk-rock 3 piece band. But first Tennis. [...]
According to Vlade Divac, former NBA player and now Serbian Olympic Committee president, Novak Djokovich was so devastated after his losses to Andy Murray and Juan Martin Del Potro that he was cutting up his racquets with a saw. Djokovich's Olympic venture was taken nothing short of serious.

Brooklyn "Indie Rock/Folk" singer Sharon Van Etten has been awing audiences this summer with her unforgettable performances, such as Lollapalooza, in support of her highly praised third studio LP Tramp (Feb 2012). Van Etten quickly took the music scene by suprise with her debut album Because I was in Love and 2010's Epic to follow shortly after. Her heartfelt songs and unique voice have caught the attention of many, debuting Tramp at 75 on the Billboard 200 charts. She has been given positive reviews from Paste Magazine, Rolling Stone, Consequence of Sound [...]
Tennis' last album, Young & Old, is a sound of indie-pop perfection and their live show is a spectacle of the same.
Additional contributions to this article by Dakin Hardwick. All photos by Jonathan Pirro except where noted. Summer is always slow and somewhat sporadic to come to the Bay Area, and with it comes a mostly dry spell of live music, with many large groups heading overseas for massive festivals and international tours, while California and [...]

A sensational Sunday: ► The highly anticipated show at Hollywood Forever Cemetery with Sigur Ros happens tonight in support of the Icelandic post-rock band's latest album "Valtari." [That's their gorogeous Alma Har’el-directed video for "Fjögur píanó" above, starring Shia LaBeouf.] L.A. artist Julia Holter opens. ► It's double the fun at the Greek Theatre with performances by Andrew Bird [see his video for "Give It Away" ] and Sharon Van Etten at the Greek Theatre ► Indie poppers Tennis play El Rey Theatre [...]
Uncle Neil put the toy trains away long enough to burn through a scorching mix of newer material (songs about love, Canada, farming, etc ....) and Neil classics (songs about love, Canada, farming, etc). Growl and Co. have a seemingly inexhaustible repertoire of modern rock radio hits at their disposal and the FF crew (now featuring Pat Smear!) were not shy about their deployment. Closer "Everlong", one of those perfect alt rock songs, had even the most casual Foo fan head noddin'. [...]
I'm off to San Francisco for Outside Lands and won't be back until Monday. For those of you unable to attend, stream the festival live (thanks to Tunein ) or enjoy the playlist below. Either way, hope you have a fantastic weekend, because I know I will.
It goes without saying that the feedback from our Best Remixes Vol. 1 was overwhelming; and although we have enough 100% MUF approved remixes to be considered the best out there, we'll take this one volume at a time , adding new songs only when we feel we have another good list. You can't say we didn't come through on our promise to deliver Volume 2. That said, we’ve slowly expanded on our original 10 remixes this time around, carefully selecting each track as if our resume depended on it. Several of these tracks came from [...]

From Denver, CO comes Tennis and we don’t mean the sport.
Summertime is festival time, there’s no two ways about it. Music festivals, food festivals, wine festivals, art festivals; basically come up with any reason to gather a community of people outdoors and you’ve got yourself a festival. The secret to success lies in either A. being in a unique location (Govenor’s Island, Telluride CO), B. serving a unique community (Burning Man), C. having a stellar line-up (fill in the blank) or D. fusing various types of festivals into one big affair (Googa Mooga, anyone?). A festival that satisfies all [...]
