Welcome to The Unicorn Ranch

Welcome to The Unicorn Ranch Apart from the weekly show I do with Danny Weiss from 10-11 PM on Thursday, I (Steven Hummel) am now doing my own solo show every Tuesday from 10-11 PM on WALT . Unfortunately, for the time being, you can only listen live if you're on the Davidson College network, but all shows will be uploaded here thereafter for the international audience's listening pleasure. So far, there have been two episodes, which are detailed below. In the future, you can find the archive on the right sidebar. As always, I sincerely appreciate your [...]

Explanation + Update

Odd Life
What happened? Where did Muzjiks go? In short, Muzjiks returned from winter break and got its ass kicked by college. It's still here, it's still evolving, it's still producing content and staying on the bleeding edge of what's hot in the world of music—it's just happening beneath the surface. Muzjiks is in no way abandoned; in fact, it's still embryonic, as far as I'm concerned. Here's what's on tap (in roughly chronological order): change from muzjiksradio.com domain to muzjiks.com domain (something I'd wanted to do since the site's inception) in-depth Odd Future [...]

Not Swag.

Not Swag. Mashup extraordinaires The White Panda are "performing" at Davidson College tonight. Let's just say I'm skeptical. Might start Twitter beef about it. Follow @muzjikssteven. If you don't get a review out of Muzjiks, then it's safe to assume that the "concert" was atrocious beyond words. Hi, my name is Steven Hummel, and I'm a pessimistic, elitist fuckhead. I appreciate your readership.

Mainstream Pop's First Attempt at Dubstep

Prepare to hear this for the next four months...

Funky disco soul revival?

It's not prevalent enough yet to call it a revival, but with Cee-Lo Green leading the pack with his Stevie Wonder-esque The Lady Killer , it's conceivable that a full-blown resurgence of the funkadelic sounds of the 70s could be on their way back to the mainstream. Perhaps it's just my wishful thinking, but here's a handful of examples of recent music that are fully indebted to the sounds of the yesteryear and give me hope for the future of grooviness. Now we jive. Estelle (ft. Cee-Lo): [...]

Keep your eyes on the throne

Keep your eyes on the throne This from Kanye's Twitter: Looks like the lead single from Watch the Throne , Yeezy's collaborative album with Jay-Z, is going to be in our hands sooner rather than later—as in this coming Tuesday.

News from EITS

Received this e-mail today from Explosions in the Sky: Hi Everyone, Welcome to 2011. We're excited (and a little nervous) to announce that on April 6th we'll be playing at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Radio City is one of the most legendary and beautiful theaters in the world, so we feel pretty honored and lucky. It's like some sort [...]

More than just WOMP

Fat Kid Loves Bacon
Bacon. Related enough. Dubstep has the reputation—especially in the United States—of being a genre all about devastating bass that sometimes sounds like whales mating, other times sounds like grinding chainsaws, and still other times just sounds like a migraine waiting to happen. However, to reduce the genre to this would be entirely unfair. Although represented more prevalently in Europe, dubstep usually incorporates stuttering, off-kilter rhythms, groovy synthesized lines that reflect UK garage and funky influences, and more explicit dub vibes. You might say that it's the difference between dubstep and [...]

A brush with Odd Future

Domo Genesis Clear Eyes
Above is the video for "Clear Eyes" off of OFWGKTA member Domo Genesis' latest, Rolling Papers. As you'll see, there's a shot with a phone ringing and a number being displayed on the screen. It reads "Tyler," so when I called the number, I thought maybe I would get in contact with the leader of the pack himself, Tyler, the Creator. Instead, I reached the director of the video who requested that I post his work on Muzjiks. This is the least I can do. Little does he know that he could potentially be in store for the [...]

Reupholstering vaginas since 1977

Reupholstering vaginas since 1977 Related . With its 808s -esque blip-bloop bouncing along and a distorted guitar riff giving the track a certain edginess beneath Kanye's rhymes, this My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy cut didn't quite make it off the Hawaiian cutting room floor. Frankly, I'm not sure where the song would've fit into the retail tracklist without sounding sorely out of place. In fact, before doing a quick Google search, I thought this was a leak from Watch the Throne , as the overall feel of "Eyes Closed" was [...]

It's official. I'm on CyHi Da Prynce's nuts . I'm not ashamed. Dude is the next big thing in hip hop. Not only do I have a man crush on the guy's voice, but his flow is dope as hell. If you liked what you heard on " Christian Dior Denim Flow " or " So Appaled ," do yourself a favor and check out his two official mixtapes , namely Royal Flush . And you better believe that when CyHi drops his full-length, it's going to be fire. With Yeezy at the [...]
