As we mentioned yesterday , GvsB II goes down Saturday, July 28 , at the esteemed Granada Theater here in Dallas.

Raise your hands if, like us, the giddy fan-boy joy of hearing that indie rap hero Kendrick Lamar and his Black Hippy crew had signed to Aftermath was soon usurped by depression as the reminder seeped in of the many acts on the label who had seen their early promise slowly dwindle away on the backs of long-too-shelved product. Surely the good Dr. Dre wouldn't be foolish enough to keep this cat simmering on the backburner, waiting on the critically acclaimed mic master to craft material that fit his "vision" of what a major [...]
Earlier this week the hip hop world was abuzz with Kendrick Lamar's new single & Dr. Dre's non-soft drink commercial return to the mic, the infectious California anthem "The Recipe." But maybe the most compelling aspect of the single was producer Scoop DeVille's use of Twin Sister's fantastic "Meet The Frownies." What an awesome loop. Singer Andrea Estella's blissful coos about smoking pot among the autumn leaves lend themselves for a great modern hip hop song as re-imagined by the second coming & the doctor. "Meet The Frownies" is the main [...]
Yesterday, Kendrick Lamar 's song "The Recipe" that featured Dr. Dre and sampled Twin Sister's "Meet the Frownies " had the internet all Paul Wall. I am impressed that the TDE/Aftermath camp didn't use a big song like MGMT's "Electric Feel", Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks" or like a Radiohead song. But instead a fairly obscure indie rock group like Twin Sister. Don't get me wrong Twin Sister had one of the best records of last year but still... Kendrick Lamar ft. Dr. Dre "The [...]
![[Introducing] – Pair Of Arrows](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4165504_lg.jpg)
So far San Francisco's Pair Of Arrows ( Swan Palermo on vocals, R/D White) have only one song to their name, but what a song it is! Already strongly established as a respected music act in the world of glitchhop/electronica, R/D spent several years finessing his skills producing his own music as well as performing alongside Beats Antique and Glitch Mob ; Swan was simultaneously working with those producers (including Eskmo ), laying down tracks characterized by a trip-hop/chillwave ambiance, all the while remaining devoted to penning personal compositions set to [...]

I haven't had much time of late to write. The house project of repainting walls, painting trim, pulling up carpets, and laying down bamboo has absolutely dominated my time. That and working on my BMW, which in the past few weeks has received a full tune-up (with exception of replacing points and cleaning the carb). I'm hoping that come mid-week, I'll be back in my normal post routine. As time has been limited, I thought "Desert Island Picks" would be a good topic for the week. Unfortunately, I left off [...]

2011 was a quiet year here, but that's not because I didn't have any songs to love, or didn't listen to any new music, or because I don't love you. It's just that I've been busy working on all that other stuff that has nothing to do with love and songs, and also, all that other stuff that does. This is the sixth year I've done this list, and it's a little sparser. But the songs that made it here are worth your precious ear-time, every one of them. And if you feel there's one I missed, or you know [...]
Man, what a wild week. And I'm not talking about the wild you indie folk are used to, likely boozing it up and partying every night. I'm talking about the working life, the stress of the job, the busy days and exhaustion-laden nights. Going to bed at 9:30; I feel old. So on Fridays, I look forward to cutting loose. I needed something epic this week. Something loud, raucous, and rambunctious. And I found it in this playlist. At the studio, 10 pm, the lights are dim [...]
