As you might have expected we have been loving the new Elucid album. But we wanted to know if our feelings and thoughts on the Sub Bass Diet had any correlation to the feelings and thoughts that went behind making it, so we asked Elucid to break the spirit of the album down for us, turns out we are definitely on the same page. Here's what he had to say... The Sub Bass Diet is relevant because of its fearlessness. The old model of [...]
[Via - The Star] Dismissed by some as irrelevant, music bloggers can have a striking impact on album sales, an expert on technology and the economy has found. "It's been suggested that blogs are just noise that really didn't help you predict" sales, says Professor Vasant Dhar of New York University. "A moderate amount of blog chatter might not predict anything, but off-the-chart blog chatter – even in some cases when there was no major record label behind a band – had an effect." The study, Does Chatter Matter? The [...]
D.Julien- "Never Change" D.Julien 's new track "Never Change", exclusively done for DJBooth.Net 's freestyle series. I took the liberty of doing my own thing on Hov's classic beat. Not a risk if I know I'd do my thing, feel me. A lot more updates to come bro, trust. Thanks for the support.
Email interview conducted by Josephine Tempongko ( DJ Pandai'a ). Mary Anne Hobbs is arguably experimental music's most seminal figurehead- having hosted BBC Radio 1's Experimental Show (formerly called Breezeblock ) for over 10 years, her relentless pursuit of the electronic underground's most ground-breaking and elemental sounds continues to reward the world with an opportunity to hear something that they've never heard before. From her beginnings covering rock music for the NME and Loaded magazine, to her third [...]
If you like punk, and you live in L.A., Headline Records is the place to go to. When I have friends from out of town, I make a point to drive down to Melrose. Jean-Luc has seen the scene grow from an international standpoint. And if you have a chance, listen to him talk. Like with Curtis from TAANG, when I'm in Headline, I'm just a student in this punk game. 1. When did you start Headline Records, and what gave you the idea [...]
With Mujava taking the dance world by storm last year, there is a peeked interest in local SA dance-floor electronica. Lots of things are happening for local electro producers. In fact you should read this piece already written by Ol Dirty Man, about Gazelle's Bloody Beetroot collab and a general encouraging message for local musical electricians. The Red Bull Studio roundup for this week introduces a new act to the scene and hopefully a new Electrotrash artist (and they'd be perfect for the site). Zim Dollar Bill is comprised of two prolific Cape-Tonians, Naartjie and Liver (who [...]
You know that one song, the one you love because the lyrics seem like the songwriter just reached inside your head and grabbed them? The Avett Brothers continue to make those perfect songs for me on their latest album, I and Love and You, released in late September. In their first major studio record, the Avett Brothers continue to establish themselves as an important American group with an unstoppable voice. Their unique blend of bluegrass-folk-punk translates well to a major label, without many moments of "Oh, they sold [...]

Sparkle Motion (aka DJ Yoda & TOBE$ ) are back with more synthesized chonkyfire to take you higher and higher! On the return flight from Vol. 1 , the duo is back with another hour 80's R&B breaks, from uptempo boogies to slow drag joints you used to straight groove to, hip-to-hip with a honeydip who smelled just like TCB and watermelon Jolly Ranchers. I asked TOBE$ for a tracklisting and real brilliant-like, he told me "No tracklist; trust us." And with that, I'm decided to let the pilot fly [...]
After a lot of careful thinking, I have decided to leave the band. Having played with Hookah for almost 19 years, it was an extremely difficult decision, made even more difficult by my love for my band mates and our music. Naturally I'll be coming back to sit in periodically, but after New Year's Eve you'll be enjoying a new bass player. It has been an amazing privilege to spend so many years playing with this band, and I'll always be grateful for the experiences I've had along the way. I've gotten to travel all over the world to [...]
[mp3] The Dig: "Two Sisters" We've been following this excellent group for almost a year now, and we're glad to offer a brand new mp3 from The Dig's upcoming LP that they just finished recording with Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Sean Lennon, Apples in Stereo, Sebadoh). The new song "Two Sisters" shows the promise of the band's upcoming recorded output, which had been a question mark, as the band had been steadily touring behind only a three song EP. Yet, their live show and quality of their music on stage is [...]
It's going to be my album of the year, at least based on its placing in my top 5 of all albums released this decade, but I still didn't know for certain every lyric to every song on the album, which was mildly annoying. Sunset Rubdown hadn't included a lyric sheet with the album's release and although I'd waded through the threads on the Wolf Parade forums and on songmeanings.net at various times this year, there were enough discrepancies to throw me off on more than one lyric in more than one [...]
As many of you know, I have a little less than 12 months until I must complete the remainder of my Day Zero project. If you are too lazy to click on that link, what I mean is...on January 1st, 2008 I created a list of 101 goals that I gave myself 1,001 days to complete. I've posted a few updates about my progress since then. I'll probably share the next update around January 1st of the upcoming new year. As Nicci pointed out today, my list appears to be way more difficult than some others, [...]
I just finished the best mob book I've ever read , and I wanted to share it with the rappers who read JTTS. As you might be aware, MCs have run out of ways to twist names like Capone and Pacino, and this tome offers all sorts of fresh handles for aspiring faux gangstas. Unlike a lot of prior mob books - as well as nonsense accounts like the Godfather that are loosely based on shaky facts - Mike Dash 's book is grounded in solid research. Trust me - when you're dealing in [...]
Last night, after being in the states for less than 24 hours, Friendly Fires played a random private party for Fred Perry at SPIN New York...and you can trust Tastes Like Caramel was there for all of the fun! It was our first time at the venue which played host to a ping pong event with the band providing the headlining entertainment. The party was in celebration of the Fred Perry brand and Friendly Fires kicking off their winter NYLON tour Thursday night in Texas with The Xx. We had the pleasure of interviewing [...]
This excellent recording and upload was provided by Miguel (Geckoman) of John Mayer at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York, from Monday night. (Yes, there's a bootleg out there already). Thanks so much to Miguel for this, and to Lenny for the oh-so-fantastic cover art.

![[Video] Passion Pit – Little Secrets](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2132561_lg.jpg)
Passion Pit have revealed their new video for "Little Secrets". The song was a ton of fun to see live, and it has become one of my favorite tracks from Manners. Trust me, it is hard to pick clear standouts on a great album like Manners. They disabled embedding (why? such a pain in the arse lol), so your going to have to click one more time! Watch the video for Little Secrets , and please make sure you are not on any form of drugs! This one is NSFA (Not Safe For Acid). [...]

In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Hos, Hookers, Call Girls & Rent Boys collects stories, poems, and essays by sex workers. Compiled by David Henry Sterry and RJ Martin, Jr., the book organizes this collection of refreshingly genuine and brutally honest writings by category (love, life, money, etc.). The New York Times wrote of the book: "From the unappealing title, you might think this is a truly trashy [...]
