'Separation Anxiety' a new mixtape from Cadence Weapon. I just dropped $5.00, go name your price. Free works too I believe.

An Interview with Ben of the band Arizona - part 1 from Dave Allen on Vimeo. You may have noticed a dearth of new posts from me since last Thursday but I have a good excuse - Pop Asheville. Pop Asheville is an annual music festival and conference that takes place in Asheville, North Carolina and [...]
Lykke Li @ NTBR Part 4 - "Hustlin'" from Drew Innis on Vimeo. If you haven't taken Lykke Li's perpetual set-closing cover of A Tribe Called Quest's "Can I Kick It" as a hint, the Swedish songstress really loves her hip-hop and rap. Further evidence? Her performing a stripped down version of Rick Ross' "Hustlin'" with [...]

Tapes 'n Tapes perform at the Doug Fir on January 21st and the band has kindly offered up two free tickets to the show. Now, at this point I could come up with some gosh, darn cute question to challenge you, dear reader, but I will spare myself the ignominy and just say - the [...]
I'm surprised that there wasn't a lot of outrage about the fact that the new DRM-free files on iTunes actually include your iTunes account information in the meta-data. Put that fave song up online and you'll be hearing from someone...but who? CNet UK has the story but even they gloss over it: Be warned: your account [...]

So after calling it a day with Gang of Four in early 2008, I turned my attention to getting some music recorded and released by Faux Hoax, a whacky trio consisting of myself, John Askew of Tracker and FILMguerrero, and Danny Seim of Menomena and Lackthereof. Well, due to all of our conflicting schedules things [...]

Pic ©Annene Kaye After Mickey Moonlight's mix for Ed Banger's iTunes podcast channel dropped this summer I kinda swore off of mixes. It was just so good and all too easy to put on repeat that my ears had no desire to listen to any of the latest mixes on the scene. Because of this, I [...]
