I'm in a reflective mood. Thinking back on my youth, there's so much that, at the time, I wished I could do. Looking at my life now, I think I'm right where I want to be in terms of who I am and what I am doing with my life. It's funny. You think about all the restrictions there are in life; I'm finding that I have more freedom as an adult to do what I want when I want to do it than ever before. I guess that's the benefit of being [...]

¡Llegó la calor! Qué dicha tan macha. Para conmemorar tan extraordinario acontecimiento aquí traemos un mixtape con lo mejor del mes que acaba de pasar. Ok, siendo honestos lo hubieramos hecho con o sin sol. Pero es más chévere con sol. De lo que pusimos en los podcasts durante mayo rescatamos a Coves , Pagiins , Mrs. Magician , Rah Rah , Eamon McGrath y el clásico de Harlem . Así que por ese lado tenemos pura gente reconocidísima. Aunque también mostramos nuevas de [...]

As we in America celebrate Memorial Day, a day for remembering those who died while serving in the Armed Forces, I can't help but also think of appleseeds. These tiny seeds weigh about .756 grams but pack a punch powerful enough to bring a man down. I'm not only referring to the fact that they contain cyanide, a deadly toxin in large enough quantities, but also to the man hours they've caused to be lost with their central role in government conspiracies and even cancer prevention research . Appleseeds have also loaned their likeness and name to a network [...]

The album’s first single, Totally True , has a dreamy stone-washed feel, celebrating bands like Cocteau Twins and The Chameleons . a [...]

Formed in November of 2010, Michigan's The Appleseed Collective got a jump on the scene through endless networking and connections with the underground current of house-shows, DIY Fests, and localist enthusiasts. “Since the very beginning we've found a lot of support in the local food movement. Now that we are ready a cut an album we want to support the community that got us here.” These were the words of Andrew Brown, guitarist and front-man of The Appleseed Collective, speaking of the new 2012 album Baby to Beast. A powerhouse of everything the band has [...]
