President Obama was at Harlem's Apollo Theater and briefly broke into a rendition of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together." He covers the tune admirably and I wish he did so for a bit longer. It's pretty clear that Obama is just cool. He has a way about him and it's going to be impossible for Mittens to knock him off in November. Sorry, even with an economy in the shitter, it's just not going to happen. Romney looks wooden and awful next to the other Republican candidates. Next to Obama, he looks like a clumsy middle school [...]

Kurt Vile - He's Alright (live) I've been listening to this guy a little bit over the last few weeks. Each time I hear another song of his, I love it. This particular track really caught my ear because the guitar rhythm sounds just like another song I'm obsessed with: Boards of Canada's Dayvan Cowboy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =lrBZeWjGjl8 He's got a new album out: Smoke Ring for my Halo. Check it out. http://www.myspace.com/kurtvil eofphilly

It?s more often the exception that international acts find they have a fan base in the United States, although it?s happening more and more. Luckily for Sweden?s Darkwater, they had a crowd of cheering fans to play for upon crossing the pond for ProgPower USA XII. On the first official day of the festival, Darkwater had the second spot on the bill.... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com
One of my favorite movie of 2009 and possibly ever, Black Dynamite has just morphed into an animated series for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim which will see the light of day Spring 2012. From the minds of Scott Sanders and Black Dynamite himself Michael Jai White, it's a continuation/spin-off of the film. All your favorites are [...]

Rihanna is armed, dangerous, and a total badass in the first official promo picture of the pop princess in Battleship . RiRi is making her acting debut in the Peter Berg -directed flick about an alien battle at sea, playing Officer Raikes, a tough, tattoo-covered weapons specialist. If the official trailer , which hit the internet last week, doesn't make you want to go see the movie, go just to see Rihanna. Surely seeing RiRi sling big guns around and fight otherworldly creatures is worth your 12 bucks. [...]

How bad-ass is this black light poster? It was made for one rad Philly psych-rock outfit, Gillian Chadwick's Ex Reverie by another - Birds of Maya 's Jason Killinger . Pick it up in all its hand-silkscreened ultraviolet-zapped glory as a bonus with Ex Reverie 's brand new Praxis EP - a record who's sound falls somewhere between Warpaint and Buffy Sainte Marie . The album's download for donation, but the poster is only a few bones more on Bndcmp . Stare into its depths while you get zonked to one of my [...]
First, let's cover the obvious: Rihanna is a badass. Since hitting the scene in 2005, the reggae-revival ingenue has reinvented her own sound and the implications of modern pop almost as many tim... Continue reading "Rihanna Is a Badass, Not a Bad Egg" >

Let's make one thing clear: Robyn is not La Roux or Ke$ha. While her robotically-altered crooning may draw some comparisons to arguably the worst singer of our generation , Robyn is, in fact, the shit. The Swedish sexpot cornered the market on hard-nosed, synth-driven robot-pop back in 2005 with her critcally-aclaimed self-titled album. For proof, look no further than her oral resume on said album, titled "Curriculum Vitae," which declares her, among other things, the "queen of queenbees", "the world record holder with a high score of two gazillion in Tetris," and was "listed in section 202 [...]
