Search Results: the streets

Some tracks have a bit of a glow. This one's got the good kind of glow, the one that comes from a nifty, stuttering guitar, drums that wobble but don't fall over, and earnest vocals about youth—or more specifically excessive youth. There's some Passion Pit style happening here, and certainly some 802s retro chic. Josh Ocean and Eric Mendelsohn got this Ghost Beach shindig together not too long ago in NYC, and so far the results have certainly been pleasing to the ears. Ghost Beach - "Too Young" They've got a [...]

01. Helium Robots, "Jarza" [ Running Back ] ( buy ) Like Dissident, the label they first appeared on, Helium Robots seemed to burn bright and fast, falling silent after two tracks in 2008 for Andy Blake's since completed imprint.

German music producer Oliver Huntemann comes to India for the first time for the Technodrome tour in Delhi (Sura Vie on Feb 4), Mumbai (Canvas Lounge on Feb 3) and Pune (Stone Water Grill on Feb 5). Starting off as a house DJ (by that I mean he DJed at people's house parties) in the 1970s, to becoming a pioneer of the electronic music space, whether it was experimenting with a belt-driven turntable to his latest developement, the Reactable, he has tried to be a step ahead when it came to the taking a leap in the live music experience. For [...]

Well, look at this: Maya has her swagger back. The video for her new single " Bad Girls " is an early contender for video of the year; it sends up all sorts of rap-video clichés by transposing them to a Middle Eastern desert party. So we get drivers doing car-tricks that go way beyond any old whip-ghostriding and M.I.A. leading hordes of revelers through the streets. That shot where she's reclining on a car window, calmly filing her nails while the thing is driving up on two wheels, is easily the most badass thing you will see today. Romain [...]

Film soundtracks are a notoriously hard sell outside of their film context. 2011 saw a minor trend in affixing popular music artists to celluloid, resulting in the misplaced fervor and expectation that surrounded Daft Punk's score for Tron: Legacy as the French house duo's fourth official album. It wasn't, which shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone, but the soundtrack in question is a perfect portrait of where film scores and fully-formed records can often go their separate ways. Devoid of its film's hard glossy blacks and primary colored neon, Daft Punk's bombastic orchestra-laden synth-heavy score seemed to [...]

A full minute of Madonna's lead MDNA single "Give Me All Your Luvin'" video premiered tonight on American Idol , and just like the song, the video promises to be mindless, campy fun. And much like her forthcoming Super Bowl Halftime performance, she's surrounded by football players and cheerleaders (as well as M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj). See what's in store for Madge's latest clip below. Madonna feat. Nicki Minaj & M.I.A. - "Give Me All Your Luvin'" [...]

One of the highlights of the lead up to the the annual springtime event is the day when fans get their first look at the artwork that will hang on walls all over the world. Of course, this being the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival , it's also a chance for the cranks to grouse. Last year, many people were up in arms about the choice of Jimmy Buffett , depicted as a young busker on the streets of the French Quarter, for the prime spot on the official poster. I can't imagine [...]

In their forthcoming First Serve concept album, De La Soul 's Plug 1 & Plug 2, aka Deen Whitter and Jacob 'Pop Life' Barrow, narrate the story of two young boys from Queens, New York with big dreams and larger rhymes. The record follows them finding their way in the unforgiving world of hip hop, beginning with Deen's mother giving them grief as the duo learn their craft in her basement over a few 40s: Click here to view the embedded video.

Tweet vaso link I went back and looked at when we first talked about Vancouver's Teen Daze here, because it feels like we've known about him forever, and we're just now getting a glimpse of his debut album. The hazy beatsmith was first talked about around here in October of 2010, and we've had about 7 or 8 posts on him since then. (The first mention I can find of him on the blogs, however, is in May 2010 on [...]

Metals did a fine job at reintroducing us to Feist last year after (literally) years of waiting out her creative hiatus. The opening number, "The Bad in Each Other" explodes in a triumphant and utterly beautiful heralding of her return, and now has an equally beautifully video to accompany it. Shot by director Martin de Thurah during a recent trip to Mexico, the video explores all the small moments in our lives when emotion seems to hit the hardest, tapping into themes sadness, guilt, and beauty through a string of unresolved vignettes pulled together as Feist roams through the streets. As she explained [...]

• Feist - The Bad In Each Other

It's been a slow week for the heavier set of rock n' roll, but when you get tracks like this new one from Leland Sundries , you can't really complain. This Brooklyn group is set to release their The Foundry EP on February 21st, and we'll be lucky if it all sounds as delicious as this jam. For the most part, the music is subdued, gently strummed guitar, but the vocal style has a relaxed approach that recalls, for me, a calmed Stephen Malkmus . Let's hope this [...]

by Rep. Ron Paul, Republican black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult, and should be treated as such. ------------------------------ --------------- This poem was originally published as an article by Ron Paul in his own newsletter in the 1980s/1990s.

Regardless of where you live, if you walk the streets of your city/town/village with the sun up or the sun down you will inevitably find something interesting. It might be an interesting sight. It might be an interesting place. In my case it was an interesting person that I discovered while walking downtown one evening on a relatively normal street corner. Standing in front of a nondescript storefront was a man, short of stature, playing an electric guitar. There was a good sized amp set up behind him, with the power cord running through the [...]

This month marks the 10th anniversary of Fluxblog. I will be doing a few things to celebrate the occasion over the course of the year, but the main thing is that I will be putting together survey mixes for each year the site has existed. The mixes will be released on the first weekday of each month this year, culminating in revised/expanded versions of the 2010 and 2011 mixes and this year's survey at the start of December. 2002 was an interesting year, with a lot of major stuff bubbling up as the identity of the decade [...]
