I've been receiving emails asking what happened to me...NOTHING! I took a much needed vacation and now I'm back to update you daily about the music you want to hear! While I get back into the swing of things and sort through all of this new music in my inbox, I figured I'd post something about the hypocrisy in the media following Michael Jackson's death . Jon Lajoie is a comedian who decided to compare what was said about MJ in the past with what has been said about him since his passing. Yes, [...]

Thanks to the awesome crew at Filter Magazine , I was able to kick off my Memorial Day weekend with a strong dose of Crystal Method . Once arriving at the House of Blues at 11:59 for a late night show, you could tell that this was THE place in Vegas to be. The headliners didn't hit the stage until around 2am, so anybody with a bed time had no business being there! Once the duo finally hit the stage adorned with 2 circular displays cycling through wicked images and epilepsy hating visuals, the [...]

This psychedelic-pop 5 piece shot us over a little preview from the album that you can stream and download below.

If you've ever wondered what happened to our nu metal friends, fun. is here to clue us in.They don't seem to be as sad as they used to be according to the band's new track. It's a fun mix of pianos, steel drums, playground call and answer lyrics, bombast exclamations, a Bohemian Rhapsody'esque ending and plenty of other twists and turns. If a band sets out to live up to their name, than fun. has accomplished this feat already! Their debut album Aim & Ignite will be released on August [...]

The synthesized hand claps, electro-bleeps and the hyperactive bassline will have you shaking your tailfeathers like a duck that has just exited a chilly pond.

For all of you fans of The Killers , there is a new piece of ear candy for you to consume. A new Night Version mix of The Killers' Joy Ride is gracing the B-side of the new European single The World We Live In . I don't really know how to explain it other the Killers doing a Duran Duran impersonation with a Brazillian tribe providing the musical soundtrack. The result is definitely an interesting one and I don't have an mp3 version, but be sure to stream the song above. [...]
You know how I know you're gay? You listen to Coldplay . Ok, so maybe you're not gay and even if you are, there's nothing wrong with that. There's also nothing wrong with Coldplay giving away their new live album, LeftRightLeftRightLeft for free until 09/19/09. In the words of Coldplay.com: "Today is also the day of the band's first North American tour date, in West Palm Beach, where the first copies of the LRLRL CD will be given away. The CD will then be handed out to all fans at every remaining Coldplay [...]
Yes I know I'm not the first to cover Squincy Jones or offer his mixes for download, but sometimes it's fun revisiting something that still sounds ahead of it's time. Hopefully a few of you will be new to the work of Squincy, and you can get some of these eargasmic mixes in your playlist. Squincy Jones is a mix master who is deeply rooted in 8 bit Nintendo Culture, Hip Hop and Dub. I'm not alone when I feel Nintendub was the best mixtape of 2008, and that he'll have even more mixtapes for us [...]
I've always been a pretty big fan of The Wu-Tang Clan and almost anything that any of the crew releases. What I came across today definitely put a smile on my face. As some of you may know, Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 (or O BFCLII ) will be released on August 11th. What some of you may not know however, is that he and DJ Absolut have given us all a nice appetizer in the form of a mixtape titled Blood On Chef's Apron . This [...]
Every now and then I leave mi casa. Generally it's to eat, get a little exercise, pick fights with senior citizens, or to listen to a little music. After getting word that Mikey and Beans of the Afghan Raiders were having a release party for Admiral's Doorbell at the Beauty Bar, I knew that a trip outside of my neighborhood was a must. Upon entering the Beauty Bar, I couldn't believe my eyes. The bar was packed wall to wall with people. While it would have been easy to assume that the [...]
Everything old is new again. Vincent Minor is a man who was born in the right place at the wrong time. These Vaudeville harking tunes will take you to a place that you've heard of, but have most likely never experienced, and they can't help but make you wonder if Vincent Minor is a victim of unfortunate time travel. Vincent Minor has a distinctive slightly nasally voice that blends perfectly with piano parts that converse with Wurlitzer, horns, and strings. Born in the Wrong Era comes out on Social Science Recordings May [...]
Not only is it a Sunday, but it's Mothers Day, so I thought I'd do something a little different. Instead of bringing you mp3 downloads of emerging artists, a full mixtape or a killer remix, I thought I'd give you all a gift that should be passed on to your mothers as well. Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake from Dick In A Box fame are back with a new gift for all the ladies: a hillarious SNL video titled Motherlover . [...]
Despite what you may think, Bad Boy Bill isn't a new rapper signed under P-Diddy's Bad Boy label. Bad Boy Bill is a bonafied electronic badass that is skilled in the art of creating thumping house beats, simulated vertigo, and filling the dance floor up with a sea of sweaty bodies all clad in their boogie shoes. I won't lie: I have an ear infection right now (unless a gallon of water is nesting in my ear canal), so the pulsating beats caused me drop to my knees in dizziness, but shouldn't all good music have that effect? [...]
Last night before bed, I turned on the tube and was able to catch Animal Collective on Letterman performing Summertime Clothes . There were 2 reasons that I was unable to record it myself: 1. I'm ill equipped technologically, and haven't the foggiest idea how to rip videos from my TV. I've sure I could grab it online somewhere, edit and upload, but let's face it: I am lazy. 2. Those human starfish with the creepy dance moves scared the crap out of me, and I had to retreat to the corner of [...]
