Sonic Youth - "Sacred Trickster" ; The first taste that we get from Sonic Youth's new album is a bit too brief for my liking. At only 2-minutes this pales in comparison to the old super long suites Sonic Youth were known for, but it assaults your ears so quickly that it's hard to complain.

-P. Diddy protege Cheri Dennis' style : "Some people weren't "likin' it ." -"What's more frightening? Drowning, spiders or American Cheese slices ?" - Get your tickets now , Brooklyn. -So *that's* Victoria's Secret! - Radical Sons , a new 4 man operation from St. Louis, has opened for Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and the now-defunct Be Your Own Pet. And some of their members are still in high school! Put that on your Infinite Playlist, Nick and Norah!! They are about to open [...]

Sometimes I feel very unaccomplished when I look at what others have achieved in their lifetimes. I mean, the Radical Sons have already been signed to RCRD LBL and most of their members are still in high school. I looked them up over mySpace and read over their profile briefly before their tracks started to autoplay. "The four future members of The Radical Sons met whil [...]
