Essáy : Old Times With a borrowing nod to fellow soundcloud-head Thought Tempo , Essáy is peering his head out of the flurried world of commenting, "heart"-ing and connecting, and is fast becoming a producer that people are going to discover in record shops, not on the internet. A Distance & Lights EP , released earlier on in the year, highlighted the German producer's craft, but ' Old Times ' is the sweet and melting next move, bringing to mind the [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Awards Courtesy of Colin Stetson Being Colin Stetson is genuinely painful. You might think that Stetson's status as the go-to guy when indie royalty like Arcade Fire , LCD Soundsystem , Feist , the National and most recently Bon Iver need a saxophonist would make for a life of wine and roses.

Right outta the woods, The Pines' live rendition of What Good Am I? brings the peculiar comfort of Dylan's words 'n' vocals. John Gorka coaxes every melodic nuance from Just Like A Woman . Meg Hutchinson's gorgeous arrangement of Born In Time improves on the original. Mama, Let Me Lay It On You (Baby, Let Me Follow You Down) transmitter Hot Tuna gives everything the Hot Tuna treatment. It's Dylan in a parallel universe: The artfully placed tracks of A Nod to Bob 2 don't impersonate the [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Releases , Junos Sony Nova Scotia rapper Classified is used to hearing his own songs when he's out on tour every night. When he's at home on the couch watching mixed martial arts (MMA) fighting, however, it's a bit more of a surprise. And so Classified (real name Luke Boyd) got a jolt when he heard UFC competitor Patrick Côté had used 'Oh... Canada,' [...]
Forget prairie-frolicking frocks and feather headdresses. DKNY's fall 2011 collection this season was all modern. The pop-pink and blood-orange hues came parading in the form of puff coats and sweaters while a more neutral earthy palette leveled out the look...

A little over a month ago I got an email telling me about the Wisconsin band The Nod and their "quirky single." Then I saw the title was about frustrating the shit out of someone and it immediately had me intrigued, probably because it was either going to be hilarious or silly. While it is both those things, it's also catchy as hell. Summer singles should be lighthearted affairs, just like hookups during the warmer months of the year.
