There's no really deep message or meaning behind the songs of Calgary rockers The Dudes (I can't believe that name wasn't taken long ago). They sing songs about girls, partying, and rock n' roll. That pretty much sums up their latest mini-album Barbers, Thieves and Bartenders . The album, which came out earlier this month, is the first of three expected to be released by the band this year. The record kicks off in a hurry with the good time rock anthem "American Girl". Hot on its heels is "Dress", a [...]
Exactly what you think it is - a supercut of movie characters saying "Dude". [via Slacktory ]
Outside The Box is a weekly roundup of electronic gems from the ever-growing SoundCloud & BandCamp community, brought to you by the Chicago-based music blog, Flashlight Tag . Celista - "Brooklyn" There isn't much information available on the mysterious "Icelandic" producer, Celista . Last September he/she (?) self-released a blissed out 5-track EP for free on Bandcamp . On the newest single, "Brooklyn", Celista flips a hard-hitting Biggie Smalls sample into a refreshing, 3-min beatscape. The synthesizers are ice-cold and that bass is thumping... R.I.P. [...]

Rap game all fucked up. From the absolute phonies to respectable dudes who just embellish the truth away like Rick Ross. In 2012 the truth is scarce in Hip Hop. The playing field has been leveled and now folks of all sorts are jumping in and hoping to measure up. But it would seem the more accessible being a rapper becomes, the more hyperbolic being a rapper becomes. It's all exaggeration in the name of creating an identity that stands out. But thankfully, real folks remain. And thankfully we remain in the thick with them. And so, it is [...]
Vibe Magazine sat down with legendary DJ's and radio hosts, Bobbito Garcia and Strecth Armstrong to have their views on the legendary battle they hosted back in 1995 a battle between two of hip hop's greatest. Jay-Z & Big L (RIP) BOBBITO GARCIA I'll be honest with you, that night is not truly vivid in my head because at the moment it wasn't really any different than the myriad of shows Stretch and I did over eight years. We had no idea Big L was going to be as exalted as he is [...]
ALBUMS OF 2011 #45 - #41 #45 Crystal Stilts - In Love With Oblivion - Shake The Shackles ( MP3 ) Brooklyn garage rock at its finest; 'In Love With Oblivion' comprises of crisp and courageous, and occasionally gallant post-punk from apparent veterans of the scene Crystal Stilts . The 2011 Slumberland release is afflicted with the dark and incommutable vocals, strange key changes and strikingly full melody. An instant classic of the era it evokes, summed up thematically in the black and white colouration of above album cover. [...]

I Love You Digitalism...I mean, Dude If you haven't already listened to Digitalism's new album, I Love You, Dude , you immediately need to do so. Several remixes of their songs have already been made, and the album has received high appraisals within the blogosphere. Their single "Forrest Gump" featuring Julian Casablancas has already been added to my Favorites playlist. It's one of the many great tunes on their album. In terms of music, what's a good and a bad thing about coming from Germany? For us [...]
If I had one bit of musical talent, I wouldn't want to ride in a van with four other people or argue about songwriting credits; I would want to do all the work by myself. Having been in a touring van myself, I imagine that it's an important part of why some musicians go solo. If you're curious, Flavorwire recently posted a list of fifteen one-man bands. There are a few additions I'd like to make. Please feel free to add any to the comments secti...
Remember when I told you I didn't care about winning a BMA... I lied. I want one. I want that validation. I need it. I need to feel loved. No one has ever loved me like the internet and now is the chance to show and prove and put your love and support where it matters. We don't make money here. This is like an NPR pledge drive. We even have less Faraone this year than ever before. We're killing shit right now. We really are. Vote for us. (or go fuck yourself). I'm [...]

DeVille tried out for their band in 1984, heard a bunch of their demos, and then stole those songs, which [...]

We visit one half of one of the all-time dynamic duos today, and I'm not talking about that little twerp Robin... The status of Kruder & Dorfmeister is so legendary in the world of Electronica that one might very well forget that they never even put out a full length record of original music together. "Whaaaaaa?!?!?" It's true! As a matter of fact, both Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister have [...]
Maybe? Sorda? At least right now it is.
Straight out of the bizarrely effective files of guitar rock / hip-hop mashups comes "Westside Heights Dude," by NYC's own DJ 6reg . It's a combination of Dr. Dre's "Westside Story," Beenie Man's "Dude," and the Postal Service's "Such Great Heights." Like bacon and ice cream, you wouldn't think it works... but it does. westside heights dude by 6reg The other 6reg track worth paying attention to is "Just What" - a mashup of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and Jay-Z's "Jigga What." Simple - [...]

Recently, Ryan of DUDES had a chance to talk to Yoni Wolf about what's been going on in the world of Why? Ryan: In fall you're going to hit the road with new material. What influenced the decision to play smaller, more intimate venues? Yoni: We wanted to get out there and give [...]
So, remember that episode from Season Three of the MTV show Rob & Big? Well, it inspired us to write a post about stylish big mens clothes . You can see from the clip below, that if you're a big dude? You're probably going to have a hassle with some things in life. Of course, these clothes wouldn't necessarily be a perfect fit for Christopher "Big Black" Boykins, but the search for comfort in life should continue for everyone. Rob Dyrdek is pretty hilarious, but when he actually gets into a fat-suit made by a [...]
