Bad Lieutenants Keitel, Sumner & Herzog New Order Jetstream Bad Lieutenant Sink or Swim At a certain point in time, Bernard Sumner turned the corner as a songwriter and started writing the sort of uplifting songs that sound like they'd sync perfectly with time-lapsed images of planes landing, people streaming through night markets, and bold new companies offering us exciting [...]
Brandon from We Fought The Big One! returns with his second installment of all things left of field: Low Red Center S/T 10" Mini-LP Too often when it comes time to review a record, so much brain-time is spent putting a record in context when context is ugly and unproductive. For those who want to dance about architecture and shit about medium. Even worse for those who call themselves critics who only, in the end, wish to share their childhood influences with their reader. Sometimes a record [...]
Hey yall. As yall know, I spend most of my time on the internet, but sometimes I like to escape 2 a different reality by playing some video games. Decided to 'smoke a bowl of marijuana cigarettes' and unwind by playing this new chill game. Had to go on a 'mission.' Damn. This game seems 'mad violent.' Like stuff that they use to train terrorists/miscellaneous evil people in the world who do things like 'shoot up high schools/colleges/work places.' I wonder if it is good to have progressive games like this. [...]
Luomo. Vladislav Delay. Uusitalo. Whichever name he used, Sasu Ripatti has been pushing boundaries for his whole career. His legendary Multila album on Chain Reaction took dub techno to places it had never been before (and has never been since), while Anima on Mille Plateaux continues to astound eight years after its release. As Luomo he practically defined "micro-house" with Vocalcity , considered by many to be simply the finest house album of the decade, while Uusitalo is an outlet for his reduced techno excursions. Recently he has received praise as the all-important drummer for [...]
By Tobi Vail, musician, influential DIY punk zinester, activist and feminist theorist from Olympia, Wash. To read more of her writing, check out Jigsaw Underground photo by Joaquin de la Puente At the end of the '90s, I got excited when I realized that young girls no longer needed to hang out with creepy record-collector guys in order to find out about cool music. Information was out there for everyone to access equally via the Internet. Knowledge about obscure records could [...]
Cool video for a cool track. How come the coolest music videos are the ones that you'll never see on television? Oh well, one day there will be a P&P Channel. And it's gonna be fucking amazing. By the way, I've got all these crazy ideas (that I'm serious about). If you know people in the industry or whatever and want to make something happen, hit me up! Email me. Twitter . Cell Phone .

"Music is a joy to behold. Thank You." A sign on the back wall of the basement stage at Santos Party House proclaimed this message on Wednesday November 5. I could feel electricity in the crowd as we all waited for the real joy that was about to unfold before our very ears and eyes. Johan, one half of Europe's Radioclit, apologized for The Very Best missing CMJ and got right into it by introducing Esau Mwamwaya, the band's talented, Malawian-born and London-based singer. In case you aren't schooled in [...]

Words and Images : Tim Hara As we exited our cab outside of the Park West in Chicago, we were immediately approached by a fan asking us if we had any extras for the sold out Pretty Lights show. Then another, then another, then another. Dozens of kids braved the miserable cold and rain with their fingers raised high in the air with hopes of scoring a ticket to what seemed like the hottest show in town. Sadly, almost all of them would get shut out. [...]
Twenty-Two year old Abbey Lee Kershaw wields beauty that's as disarming as it is innocent. But don't be fooled, beneath the cherub like visage lies a resilience that has helped the Melbourne beauty prevail over the unluckiest of missteps. And in Kershaw's case, we mean this quite literally. In 2008 she famously fainted on the runways of Paris - the show was Alexander McQueen's 2009 Spring/Summer collection - the culprit was Fashion Week fatigue and a particularly tight corset. Two weeks prior Kershaw had fallen at Rodarte, a teetering victim of Nicholas Kirkwood's vertiginous heels. [...]
We're big fans of The Very Best - a collaborative project between two European producers called Radioclit (Johan Karlberg and Etienne Tron) and Esau Mwamwaya, a Malawian singer. Their mixtape took the world by storm, making our Best of 2008 list and winning over some ears. Since then, they've released a full length album, spawned dozens of baller remixes, and become a big name to watch in independent music. We recently caught up with The Very Best's Johan Karlberg to ask him about some things we've been pondering. Check it out! [...]
Halloween is cool because it brings out a dark, creative side of kids who are usually caught up in stupid shit like toys and school. And for adults it's a once a year chance to put a mask on and murder people with a much, much greater chance of getting away with it. That's a win-win. It's crazy, because this blog is now a little over a year old and one of my first memories is the Halloween mix I did last year. So I guess I'll make it an annual thing right? Sure. This time [...]
Last night we caught up with French club king Feadz and discussed the worst day of his life, Uffie's new album, the Ed Banger family and his Lost Valentinos bromance. P: Do you dread interviews? F: I'm passionate about music so I like to talk about music but sometimes there are questions that dog me. Some questions without straight answers that aren't so interesting . So sometimes I can't be bothered. But I'm not saying that about you, I'm in a good mood today and it's gonna be [...]
As indicated by a recent trip to Chicago's Electrical Audio Studio (owned by Nirvana/The Pixies mastermind Steve Albini), Chicago band SLEEPING AT LAST have once again upped the artistic ante in this ambitious, self-produced affair, while concurrently maintaining relatability on all planes. Their third national release, Storyboards, is an intricate web that builds off the surging soundscapes of 2003's Ghosts and the lush atmospherics of 2006's Keep No Score, coupled with previously uncharted instrumental expeditions and glorious orchestration. "Every time we go into the studio, we want to stretch ourselves musically as much as possible and we've noticed [...]
Lots of new music lately, but it seems like the majority of it has been hip hop or heavily electronic. I like to mix things up, but I couldn't find much new on the acoustic front, so I'm gonna dig into the collection and bring you one of my favorites. Neutral Milk Hotel is one of those larger than life indie bands way beyond the scope of most bands that come and go, or come, evolve, get huge, and stay. Maybe it's because they put out some classic shit and then just disappeared. Maybe it's because front man [...]
Do me a favour and kill yourselves, you little day glo runts We've touched upon crabcore before but it turns out there is something even more ridiculous - it's called CRUNKCORE and it was invented by a little gang of scrotes from America who call themselves brokeNCYDE - pretend you are a teen for a moment and you will see this is meant to be said like 'broke inside'. This makes me so fucking angry. I pride myself on good grammar and punctuation and as far as I'm concerned shitting over the English language like [...]

Weezy's logic is classic: He won 4 Grammy's the year of the cup, did you? No. What the hell was in his cup? Whatever he was drinking must be a motherfuckin success potion. That's why I tell people fuck you. Suck my dick, and my cup, bitch. Lil Wayne Talks To Tim Westwood About "The Cup" Pigeons and Planes
A conversation in Twitter got me thinking (thanks to Luis ). It started with me making the statement that musicians shouldn't be making millions of dollars a year. Teachers and social workers struggle to pay bills, yet some of the richest people in our country make millions by recording music. It ended with me being called a communist. The idea of capitalism rests upon the assumption that the market is dependent on the consumer. If customers have options and information, the value of products will be adjusted to fit the consumers' demand. When an industry [...]
