Sounds From The Verve Hi-Fi is a compilation album by DC DJ duo Eric Hilton and Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation fame. As with anything that Thievery ever touches, it's a fine piece of work and highlights some of the best Brazilian/Latin numbers from the legendary Verve Records vaults, which are teeming with quintessential, classic jazz music and the like. Verve was responsible for bringing bossa nova to the United States, with such records as the mythical Getz/Gilberto and Jazz Samba , the album that first gave America a [...]

Thievery Corporation — Warning Shots "Lounge music is dead. All hail Lounge music." This is the type of thing I tend to hear when people talk about lounge, minimal and similar genres; luckily for those of us who love the genre, such volatility in the genre's definition rarely occurs.

Just take a listen and you'll find yourself in another universe. [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Roger Kisby, Getty Images Although M.I.A. 's 2010 has been rather bogged down by not-so-flattering reviews of her third album 'MAYA' and some beefs with the New York Times , she's still a woman with her fan's hearts at mind. At this past weekend's Hard Festival on New York's Governor's Island, M.I.A.'s headlining set was cut short due to thunderstorms. And as much as folks love to see her skills [...]

2010 Virgin Free Fest Lineup So this year's Virgin Mobile Free Fest lineup was posted this morning and it looks pretty damn good, in fact, I'd even go as far as to say that it looks pretty awesome, especially when you factor the free part.

Tickets go on "sale" to the general public [...]

Whereas other North American music festivals have been adversely affected by the harsh economic times, the east coast extravaganza formerly known as Virgin Fest has all but excelled.

For the price of absolutely nothing, attendees were presented with the opportunity to catch Blink-182, Weezer, Public Enemy, and more. On Saturday, September 25th, the [...]
