Remix/Mash/Revox: Colin Munroe – Bulletproof Monster (La Roux x Nicki Minaj)

Sep 23, 2010, 10:24pm Above the Fold

One of the most dope touches out right now (producer-wise) are when Colin Munroe does his revox tracks (ie Bob Dylan - Who Killed Davey Moore?). Now he puts together one of the songs of the decade with my favorite verse of the moment. This song is what the repeat button was invented for....snag it now, or Nicki will " eat your brains.

MPLS Review: Nice Purse – Black Medal

Aug 9, 2010, 9:27pm Above the Fold

Everyone had a time in their youth where the only thing that mattered was the five seconds in front of their face, and how fun they could possibly make that exact moment. Nice Purse is the epitome of that time of your life, because they're living it right now. Their album Black Medal (not Metal, sorry Norway), is a half hour of what sounds like lighthearted, innocent 50's pop, but proves to be much more when it delves into the darker aspects of young love, young lust, and acid trips. These kids, [...]

When in doubt, check the chamber

Aug 3, 2010, 12:36am Above the Fold

  A few dozen people in Lansing came out to the capital building today to express their opposition to a bill proposed by Rep. Kim Meltzer that mirrors Arizona's SB1070. The law would require local police officers to stop and question people who they think may be undocumented, thus legalizing racial profiling. As we stood protesting peacefully, there were two male citizens walking around us with guns on their hips. At one point, one of them opened the trunk of a nearby car and pulled out a shotgun, cocking it loudly. It was [...]
