"I am positive that she is positive, and I think it's really sad she's gonna die..." Remember Jeff Dahl? Afro'd punkrocker, played in the Angry Samoans and Powertrip before starting his own mean lil' outfit. Probably wrote the first punk song ever about aids, and a damn good one at that. Featuring the legendary Dave Smalley on guest vocals. Jeff Dahl - Positive
Positivity, be rare, be genuine, respect the humans who were here before you, success is what people see on the outside but personal excellence is what's important. Stay based.

At WIB we truly believe in giving our readers not only the best underground music around but also the best and most relevant news when it comes to this beautiful art form. As such we have been trying to blend music with news and arts as much as we can, but of course, as we get bigger, we've ended up focusing more in delivering music and letting your guys down with news. As a result we had a discussion behind closed doors and are now actively looking for a News Editor to join us. And this is [...]
Streams and download after the jump VIL004: Absolute Positivity by ryan hemsworth
Buckle up for some surprising news, readers: I've been getting older these last few years. Shocking though it may seem, it's true. To make matters worse my aging has been totally cliched. I go out to shows less and less often, "classic" soul and pop music has become my usual go-to instead of punk rock, my girlfriend and I stay in and read more often than we go out drinking, and sometimes I even go to bed before midnight. My teenage self is so ashamed. Junior Battles, it seems, can relate. The plucky Torontonians found a [...]

Arctic Monkeys ' have entered the U.K. album charts at No. 1 with their new album ' Suck It And See '. The band's fourth studio album was released this past Monday (June 6) in the U.K. and took the top spot on the charts selling 82,000 copies and knocking Lady Gaga 's ' Born This Way ' from the spot. The entry marks the fourth time the band managed to score the No. 1 position on the charts, a feat only accomplished one prior time in U.K. album chart history.
Early last year, I posted a mix of songs that used the most iconic and recognizable drum beat in pop music history, the Phil Spector-penned / Ronettes-performed "Be My Baby" intro. That led to two more mixes (which we lovingly call "Boom! Boom boom, cha!" after that striking drum sound) bringing the total up to about 60 songs worth of "Be My Baby" beats. Just when I thought I had exhausted the subject a new crop of songs from this year have started popping up using the beat, whether it be from the indie pop stylings of Cults and Pains of Being Pure At Heart or the [...]
You want happy? I'll give you fucking happy. 44 minutes of the most upbeat post-rock you'll ever listen to. Everyone hates Mondays. Garfield spearheading the resistance, Monday is about the worst day. Ever. My Dad Vs. Yours from Canada is the pinnacle of feel-good post-rock and the perfect cure for your case of the Mondays. When I tell you, if pop-punk had a more mature older brother, this would be it. Though it sounds nothing like pop-punk, listening brings you absolutely nowhere but the happiest of places and replaces all your negative feelings with pure, white energy. [...]
Congrats to Freeway for such an amazingly positive piece on CNN! You make Philly proud. Below is some footage from Freeway's interview of him talking about the importance of his Muslim faith on his life and music career. You also find him reaching out to local youths about combating bullying in schools. You can read the whole article written by Sarah Hoye HERE. Cheers Freeway - thank you for using your fame and talents for good instead of "winning"! - The Deli Staff
Truth be told, there are a lot of people in the "crit" world (an increasingly loose term we'll have to use here) that have some kind of problem with the pastiche product of Hoodie Allen, so for those of you in that column why not go ahead and skip this post and go look at [...]
Duo MC's KON Sci and Tronic exchange bars over jazzy musical backdrops courtesy of producers such as iLLmind, J. Rawls, Oddisee, Dunc and their in-house musicians-Jamoculus and KON Sci. This is their second LP from the North Carolina-formed group, following their official début; 'Transitions'. Guests on the project include John Robisnso, Seez Mics, Kev Brown and [...]
Just when you think the American public geared itself into listening to some great dance music that is not Cascada or "Sandstorm." Another factor shows up to make us pessimistic. While Kylie, following her much-publicized US tour and the new album promo, finally gets a top 20 debut on the US Billboard Charts. Aphrodite has landed at #19 with approximately 18,000 copies sold. Now, this is somewhat good news, but she still deserves the top spot. In other news within the same vain, Kelis's fifth album Fleshtone did miserably on the charts. The album [...]

The Position sind ein Sextett aus Washington, das man in das weite Feld des charmanten Indiepops mit Tweeeinflüssen einsortieren könnte. Unrockige Gitarren, harmonischer Gesang, Trompete, all dies perlt angenehm ins Ohr und erfreut das Gemüt. Mindestens genauso wie die Tatsache, dass es ihr neues Minialbum «Tonight» noch bis zum 29.6., bis zum offiziellen Erscheinungstermin der CD, als kostenlosen Download auf ihrer Bandcampseite gibt. „Kostenlos" bedeutet hier, dass man den Preis frei bestimmen kann, ohne Untergrenze. So können wir uns den Sommer wenigstens auf die heimische Festplatte holen... &amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=" http://thepositions.bandcamp.c om/album/tonight"&amp; amp;amp;amp;gt;Park Slope by The [...]
There's no amount of frosting that'll make this post's full disclosure any easier to swallow: not only am I a member of the band that I'm about to write about, but another one of our writers (I'll let you guess which one) is married to the singer. But I've been lucky enough to be in bands whose music I actually like and The Positions are no exception, so why shouldn't I write about us? We have a shared love of the great choruses that come with pop music, and it's awesome to [...]
