by Jake Goldman Watch more on Network Awesome It is, perhaps, a strange and unsavory thing to say but, alas, the truth must make itself known: Beavis and Butthead had a profound impact on me as a kid. I remember sitting on my basement couch in an uncommon state of awe and laughter; I felt high, though I'd never so much as known the smell of weed at that point (I do now, thanks). All [...]

CLUTCH YOUR PEARLS, GIRLs. The legendary Countess LuAnn de Lesseps is back. The 46-year old chanteuse of Real Housewives of New York fame (a personal favorite on the show, along with Kelly Bensimon ) first burst onto the dance music scene with the impossibly amazing "Money Can't Buy You Class" in 2010: A dragulicious, Auto-Tune-tastic speak-sung cautionary tale dedicated to every horrid hostess and humorless bore who dared to cross the Countess. The definition of classy sassy, if you will. Yesterday, the Countless released the [...]

LOUGHBOROUGH-spawned music maker Kelpe is set to release a new 7" single, Same New Era , next month. But for those of you without a record player, you can enjoy the mind-bending video above.

Lovely Hearts Club Presents: Philco Fiction - Help! Dreamy Norwegian pop trio Philco Fiction first captured our attention here at the Lovely Hearts Club when they stopped through New York on their recent US tour. All it took was a few bars of their uniquely whimsical sound and we were hooked. We knew we had to share this gem of the European underground rock scene with our fellow audiophiles this side of the Atlantic. The group debuted their first album, Give Us to [...]

I'll admit it: I've been sleeping on CocknBullKid for a while now. Why? It's a shamefully silly reason, yet entirely real nonetheless: She has literally the worst stage name of all time. No, but seriously: It reads like one of those terrible hipster bands that mass CC's me along with every other site across the blogosphere with their awful electro-rock trash and horrible neon-colored graphics. But CockNBullKid, better Anita Blay , is not trash at all. In fact, she's quite brilliant. Having released a smattering of singles a few [...]

<Anna> Cultural Chemists and the Despotic Destroyers… Thursday nights usually mean the start of the weekend up here, unless you have 8 a.m class the next day. Regardless it's the beginning of something, and what better way to start it off than a rump-shaking-spazzed-out-tropi cal-climate-filled garage? The Biko garage has been the home of more sonic jargon than a channel stuck on static… Ninjasonik and Japanther added to this repertoire and ripped through that two hour space of time after the sunset and before [...]

I'm surprised that Steve Aoki and that whole Cinespace group have yet to venture into TV and make some hipster version of "The New Dance Show". You know something like this, but with better lighting and Sarah Morrison. brilliance , Cinespace , Diplo , lax , reality tv , remix commentary , sarah , Sarah Morrison , save the writers , skeet on mischa , Steve Aoki

When a certain publication unleashed their review of TV on the Radio's Return to Cookie Mountain over 2 months ago it was kind of cruel. Sure, there were some song leaks, but for the vast majority of us the album couldn't (and wouldn't) land in our laps until closer to (or on) the September 12 release date. So, with all of this in mind, the buzz has steadily been building for over 2 months now. Actually, for me, the buzz about this album has been building since the inception of the band [...]
