The Aftermath released their best ever song on Jan 20th and it's entitled 'In Loneliness Lives Love'. Mullingar band The Aftermath gave it a go with a decent enough debut album back in 2008. It was an album with three really good songs and the band went on a major PR campaign to get their name out there. However the quality wasn't there. They have kept going and are back with a new single which actually gets better on every [...]
Watch the genius video for the Aftermath's new single.
It's hard for friends to understand when I try explaining to them this absolute nausea I feel about New Year's Eve. I go out, I appreciate being around the friends... I'm happy enjoying the moment with them, yet in the back of my mind is a swelling sadness, a wave so huge that by the [...]
11:04 p.m.: This is going to be a good show. Somehow, this is the first time of the universe that Trae and Z-Ro have performed as ABN, the group a lot of people were saying could've maybe been a... Continue reading "Aftermath: ABN, Performing Together For The First Time Ever, at Warehouse Live" >

Okay, okay, so technically this week's Slaylist is compilation was put together back at the start of the summer, but Grind To Death just uploaded it to their Bandcamp page yesterday, so now's as good a time as any to make a noise about it. Grinding Aftermath is a 69-track grind compilation put together by [...]
"A song can enter the solar plexus and activate a dream world. It can achieve the power of other forms of narrative—the novel, film, a play—in less than three-and-half minutes it recruits matter from the unconscious, the recesses of the heart, the heatlightning of the soul. When forty women are gathered in a room, singing these songs, another world is conjured, something not quite recognizable, not quite ours, and this is why art can be beautiful: because it has the power to transform us, to transport us to other places whether they be subterranean, molten, aquatic, or interstellar. So welcome [...]
Slim The Mobster, Dr. Dre's latest protege, shows that he is worth that highly coveted Aftermath cosign.

Here goes some cool new West Coast shit. "What Goes Up" features Snoop and is signed off on by Dr. Dre (he executive produced). (Some serious West Coast royalty co-signing). "What Goes Up" has that sort of classic CA sound, that piano-driven cadillac bounce shit. How long before Jayceon starts beefing with this dude too. Slim The Mobster - What Goes Up (Feat. Snoop Dogg) Slim the Mobster ( Twitter ) ( Soundcloud ) Rating [...]

Irene hit the east coast hard. Not nearly as bad as scientists and meteorologists predicted, but I can't say I don't feel bad for it not hitting Florida. Hope all of our PB&J fans are well. All three of these tracks get a √+. I've been waiting for a tune up of "You're In My Heart" [...]

Photos by G. State of Emergency! No Business Today Everyone's got a story to tell about Hurricane Irene. Here's mine! Ever since I worked for a news company and saw executives making up news stories that can negatively impact people's lives first hand, I make sure I have as little exposure to mainstream media news as possible. Coming from the west coast and now living in the east, there are a completely different set of weather circumstances to experience. When I heard that a hurricane is coming, [...]
Bottom line, after all of the swells and swirls and floods and winds, nothing much really happened in our neighborhood of the Upper East Side, and we're really really happy about that. We cut our Cape Cod vacation short because we were worried about Hurricane Irene , but it turns out we're lucky. We never lost power, our windows were sealed well and nothing negative affected us, and our hearts go out to friends and acquaintances who are flooded, crumbled and are doing much more terribly than we are at the moment. Most of the citizenry of [...]

Jay-Z and Lil Wayne - Getty Images Lil Wayne got the blogs buzzing when a new track from his Tha Carter IV album, titled " It's Good ," leaked to the internet this week. Not because the leak signaled the album is really, truly done and being released finally, but because the song contains an apparent jab at rap royalty Jay-Z, and, even more unthinkable, Jay's queen, Beyoncé . "I got your baby money/Kidnap your bitch, get that how much you love your lady money," Wayne [...]
Terwijl de persconferentie van de afgelasting van Pukkelpop op de Belgische tv langskwam, komen bezorgde berichten langs op de FileUnder-mailinglist (is alles met TheLeonKing oké? - ja) en ben ik mijn tas met gemengde gevoelens aan het inpakken voor Lowlands....
