In March, a police lieutenant in Florida resigned in disgrace after facing allegations of making a racially derogatory comment while on duty. Now, the Winter Park Police Department is planning a farewell party for the former officer. After 27 years on the force, Ron Johnson retired in the middle of an internal investigation into a comment he allegedly made on the one-year anniversary of the death of Trayvon Martin. "This is why they should be drowned at birth," Johnson supposedly said. Fast forward to this week in which the police department is throwing the man a [...]
The tools of the Internet have no doubt contributed to the generation of entitled monsters running around - case in point: last week's Satanic tot who professed his love for Hot Cheetos - but, even at their most obnoxious moments, they point out that grownups are just as jerky. Take Jeremy Drew, for instance: The 12-year-old Las Vegas resident, who identified himself in the video below, spotted a patrol officer who parked on the sidewalk to score himself an iced coffee at Dunkin' Donuts. When asked for the cop's badge number for his illegal use of [...]
Chicago-Minneapolis dream-pop trio ON AN ON are Nate Eiesland, Alissa Ricci, and Ryne Estwing. They have crafted a gorgeous sound which is drenched with spell-binding harmonies and luscious melodies. Playing with Savoir Adore this Friday at The Drake in Toronto, AMBY wanted to catch up with the band before the show to see what's new. So we spoke with ON AN ON about being fueled by Mexican food and Phó, streakers, and new laws! AMBY: How would you describe ON AN ON's sound to those unfamiliar with your music? ON AN [...]
If the classic boxy desktop computers that emitted a dial tone while you were on the Internet ever recorded their death rattles and then an ex-hardcore punk rocker decided it would be a good idea to run through a synthesizer and combine with a semi-rhythmic drum machine, you would have the fundamentals of Pete Swanson’s latest project, Punk Authority, a four track effort from the Portland, Oregon based performer which showcases his unique musical range. At a little over thirty minutes long, the collection may seem brief at first but the album begins to drag on as if trudging through [...]
ON AN ON may be a new name on the scene - the indie-rock trio only just formed in August 2012 - but its members are no newcomers. Alissa Ricci (keyboardist and the band's only girl), Nate Eiesland and Ryne Estwing - along with Jason and Baron Harper - were already collaborating in Chicago-based indie-pop band Scattered Trees . In fact, we introduced them long ago, back in 2010. After ten years and three albums as Scattered Trees, the Harper brothers decided to leave the band in August of last year. The three [...]
Le disquaire Other Music , avec ses jolis bacs à vinyles d'Animal Collective et ses showcases de Julia Holter, pourrait être le décor tout mignon d'une sitcom parfaitement générique et consensuelle consacrée à la culture branchée/underground/hype/ tête-à-claque new-yorkaise (à quand un épisode de Girls là-bas, avec un cameo de Mac DeMarco ?). En effet, situé en plein milieu de NoHo, entre deux bâtiments de NYU et en face d'une salle de fitness pour traders buveurs de smoothie et executive women façon « hard bodies » d' American Psycho , Other [...]
Some lovely work by the Pirate Bay in Finland. The Finnish copyright police have built a parody of their site, and the Bay have called the copyright police : “While The Pirate Bay may have a positive view on copying, it will not stand by and watch copyright enforcing organizations disrespect copyright,” Pirate Bay’s Winston says in a comment. “CIAPC is like an ugly high school bully without friends. It’s time to take a stand. Cyber bullying is a serious matter to us all,” Winston continues. Boing Boing points out that the Pirate Bay can't [...]

As you can see, fans rushed the stage during Hospilaty's set, which is okay as it was encouraged. Hosts Seth Herzog and Craig Baldo kept the kids entertained between sets. Hospitality don't have [...]

Ex Cops are Denmark’s Amalie Bruun and North Carolina native Bryan Harding of Hymns. Album True Hallucinations is out now.
by Bill Pearis still from Ex Cops' "Separator" video Brooklyn's Ex Cops just released a new video for "Separator" which can be found on the band's debut album, True Hallucinations , out now via Other Music Recording Company. Locals may notice that a portion of the video was shot at Williamsburg bar Tender Trap (where that dancer is a weekend fixture). You can check it out below. The band are set to head out on a short [...]
A complete contrast from Ex Cops' last music video, their new music video for "Separator" walks the much sexier road ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/media /ex-cops/separator-video/72872 /

ARTIST: Ex Cops - [Album] with free mp3 downloads for 'James' from True Hallucinations and several songs from the White Women EP DATE: 12-29-12 REVIEW BY: Bill Adams There are few things in the music spectrum more attractive than a band with a really, really melancholy and introspective demeanor who makes lush, beautiful and guitar-driven pop music. Those rock fans who have happened upon such groups have been both cursing and celebrating them for decades; bands like The Smiths, The Cure, The Screaming Trees [...]
New York bedroom pop rockers Ex Cops , led by Hymns' Brian Harding and Minks' Amalie Bruun, will release their debut full-length True Hallucinations on January 22nd via Other Music Recording Co. Produced by John Siket (Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth), the album's been described as "a mind-altering pop pill" downed with sticky songs that are "built from a timeless blend of gentle, somnambulant harmonies, chiming guitars, and loose swinging rhythms." Lead single "James" precisely hammers down that description. Harding cruises along like a morphine'd out Paul Simon, reeling over Bruun's mountainous harmonies that feel like a sun-baked [...]
The ingenious guys at Burn Rubber are delving into the world of cool hosiery with their new sock collection. Each pair was designed in the likeness of some of their [...] The post Cop: Burn Rubber Sock Collection appeared first on The Smoking Section .
Sadly that headline is in fact true and here’s the video to prove it. This is some real douchebaggery going on right here. Make a video of you destroying valuable equipment and post it up on Youtube for the world to see , way to think it through Mr. Police Man. Apparently there’s a rave epidemic going on across the pond in West Norfolk and the cops have had enough. They recently busted up a rave, said fuck you we’re taking your equipment and the fine folks at King's Lynn police station proceeded to bust the [...]
While I generally avoid posting 'holiday music' for the simple reason that it's actually the worst thing ever, this cover of Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" by NYC rockers Ex Cops is just too sublime. With its nasally distorted vocals and explosive dynamics, it pays tribute to Christmas while showing-off why Ex Cops' signature sound is so catchy. Hear more when their fantastic album True Hallucinations drops January 22 via Other Music Recording Co .
by Bill Pearis DOWNLOAD : Ex Cops - Wonderful Christmas Time (MP3) photo by Nanci Sarrouf Admission. Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time" is easily my most-hated holiday pop song. Repetive, grating, plodding, and seemingly recorded by accident, the song makes me want to suck a candycane into a point and gouge out my eardrums. (Unlike, say, The Waitresses' "Christmas Wrapping" which I can listen to ad infinitum.) So it's a Christmas miracle [...]
