Thanks to all of the 1345 ones of you who voted for them, Citizens! won the FubizAwards 2013 in the music video category last Thursday! Their video for “True Romance” directed by We Are From LA promotes love in any ways, making a stand for equality, and we love to believe that’s why it deserved [...]
The Dutch duo deliver visuals to their recently released single titled 'Buzzcut' and call it "the best lightshow on earth." Starring Melanie Iglesias, I couldn't agree more... The post Bingo Players - Buzzcut appeared first on TAPEDECK .
I'm posting this jam from The Best just because, well, I can-you need to hear it. I feel like Austin, and beyond, haven't had a great chance to fall in love with this band, although the varying parts of the group have definitely had their share of adoring press. Take members of OBN IIIs, A Giant Dog, Bad Lovers, Flesh Lights and basically any other band that kicks ass...throw them together and you expect big things. The Black Triangle 73 came out last year, but there's still a few floating [...]
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis take us on one cinematic adventure from New Zealand to Los Angeles in their new visuals for 'Can't Hold Us', featuring Ray Dalton. This is how videos should be made and you can tell the shark-face gang had lot of fun shooting it as well. As the video was released earlier this morning, Ryan Lewis left this message for fans: It seems like when a music video comes out, the title that receives all of the credit and travels with a film is that of the director. It’s as though the director [...]
Bit of a lacklustre month from this side in terms of posting, but man, I’m glad I get the opportunity to put all the ace songs for the month that I didn’t write about into this mixtape. Some real summery vibes in for March – and on the most part up here it’s been pretty [...]
Snoop Lion links up again with Nardwuar for another hilarious interview during their time at SXSW. Reincarnated hits stores April 23rd. REWIND: Interview: Nardwuar vs. Trinidad James

Words by Brendan It's (roughly) that time when we look back and analyze the past year, identify our favorite things. I say "roughly" because, well, some people do these kinds of things in December, but that seems premature. We took a little while, relaxed, let the feeling of 2012 pass through us, and now here we are. (Okay, we had a lot of work to catch up on, and were just a little lazy, too. What of it?) I [...]

Words by Brendan Pittsburgh is just brimming with good music, and I swear that everyone can find something they'll like here. It's great to have a thriving scene like this but I'll tell you what: it makes narrowing down everything to the "favorite of the favorites" pretty much impossible. I want to just make a list of every Pittsburgh band I listened to this year that you should listen to, but I won't actually do that. (Maybe I'll do that later ...) I stewed and tossed and turned and managed to [...]
![[Editorial] Nascent’s 5 Noteworthy Sample Flips](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4751245_lg.jpg)
For some time now, Nascent has been quietly sitting behind his drum machine , churning out banger after banger, cementing himself as one of this city's best producers. From working with the likes of YP, Lil Durk, Mikkey Halsted, LEP Bogus Boys, King L & Jeremih in Chicago, he has worked countless others from across the nation, most recently ASAAD & GrandeMarshall. While prepping a very special & innovative project (more info on that release coming a few weeks), Nascent was feeling in the giving mood today & decided to share a few [...]

For those that don't know, Action Bronson doesn't just rap about food. Dude's got some certified chops (no pun) as a chef, which he shows off in this new video by Vice . They followed the Flushing Queens native to Milan, Italy, where he stopped by the Al Mercato restaurant to show off his talents and make some risotto. Man, it's getting close to 5 p.m. and I'm fucking starving, so watching this was a bad idea. Not really. But shit, that looks GOOD. [ via ]

Last month Beck released his much talked about Song Reader - an album that came in book form and featured twenty songs as sheet music. Over the last few months lots of musical folk have been uploading their covers/interpretations of songs from the album - some are terrible, some are delightfully peculiar and loads of them are a little bit 'too safe' and slapdash - but there are a few jewels to be found. Here's S lacker Shack 's [...]

In 2011 dubstep took off, and 2012 definitely expanded the scene's horizons. Although the never ending debates over dubstep's roots and evolutions into "brostep", 2012 let the genre explore new sounds in genres such as chillstep, glitch and drumstep. No matter which subgenre of dubstep, surely snapping snares, fat bass lines and tons of energy will permeate from these tracks. In no particular order, GLT presents 2012’s best. Hopefully there’ll be plenty of womps and wobbles to your liking amongst our top 60, which include tracks which have risen to the top of the very saturated dubstep realm. Stay lifted, [...]
50) El-P - The Full Retard I didn't hear this song until a couple weeks ago, but the beat alone merits it a spot on this list. El-P had a monster year. El-P - The Full Retard - YouTube . 49) Kanye West - White Dress This is Kanye West rapping over a soulful sample based beat. What else is there to say? Kanye West - White Dress - YouTube . 48) DeLaZoo - Mine Today [...]
It's been another year, y'all! So here are my favorite albums from this past year! It's been fun doing reviews for you on the regular, and I plan to continue into 2013. Thanks for liking, commenting, watching, and believing. Here is a YouTube playlist of music from these 50 albums.

El 2012 se acaba y llegó la hora de hacer el difícil recuento de todo lo que nos dejó. Tal como se veía venir desde el año pasado y gracias a muy buenos representantes, el R&B tomó mucha fuerza y diferentes caminos. Sin embargo, muchas otras buenas propuestas novedosas surgieron. µ sique les presenta los que para nosotros son los mejores discos del año : Cinco amigos de Brooklyn que plasmaron lo que ya habíamos escuchado en sus sencillos anteriores en un LP. [...]
Dois anos após o lançamento do projecto que trouxe a Vila do Conde o melhor da arte e cultura, o Estaleiro encerrou anteontem as actividades, em primeiro acto, com um duplo concerto no Teatro Municipal. No íntimo da sala forrada de madeira do chão ao tecto – lembrando as naus que por lá se construíram – o muito aclamado Father John Misty e a superbanda nacional Best Youth + We Trust trouxeram à cidade de Régio o calor que faltava àquela noite gelada. Quer os We Trust, quer os portuenses Best Youth, conquistaram, nos últimos dois anos o [...]

This has been a seriously brilliant year for music and as a music site it's basically a responsibility of ours to make a list of the best. So on one sunny morning all the Purple Sneakers minds got together and here are the Top 50 albums we chose from 2012. 50. Diiv Oshin 49. Alpine A Is For Alpine 48. Breakbot By Your Side 47. The Cast Of Cheers [...]
Here is a YouTube playlist where you can hear music from all of these EPs.

Sofia Talvik's Xmas Calendar, window 6 You all know that you need a gingerbread house to make Christmas complete. And you also need some kids to help you build it. I decided to let my cello player Christian, who also happens to be an architect and should know a thing or two about building houses, and his daughter Gunnel help me build one. This is a re-run from my 2009 Christmas Calendar, but it was one of my favorite episodes and I think you're just going to love it! And the best thing is that you [...]
