![[Sasquatch! 2013] Recap: Day Three](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4987550_lg.jpg)
Following a tired Friday and an outstanding Saturday at Sasquatch! 2013 , Sunday kept the good vibes going. The sun continued to beam down, festival goers were in high spirits, and day three promised great things. The diverse lineup was really showcased this day, with such a great breadth of performers ready to get the Sasquatch crowds moving: Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, El-P, Earl Sweatshirt, Mumford & Sons, Killer Mike, The Tallest Man On Earth, Dropkick Murphys, Grimes, Baths, Elvis Costello & The Imposters, Primus and many more were ready to provide a [...]
** The crowd gathering for Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros outside the main Sasquatch stage Right off the bat I need to state something for the sheer believability factor involved: Elvis Costello & The Imposters, Danny Brown, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Dropkick Murphy's, Tallest Man on Earth, and Mumford & Sons. If any of those names are unfamiliar to you, just know that none of these likes is at all like the others and yet that was the line-up for the main stage last night at Sasquatch. Alright, now let me tell you [...]
If Friday and Saturday felt a little lite in the hip-hop department, Sunday was like an all you can eat buffet. I indulged quite a bit, but before the hip-hop marathon started, Sunday may have had the best start of the weekend with Deep Sea Diver 's early 2pm set. You may not have heard of this Seattle band, but you've definitely heard front woman Jessica Dobson, one of the best hired guns for touring bands in the last few years. I'm told she was here last year playing with the Shins, but now she's [...]
You've warmed up now, you best have anyway. You started slow, getting your heart rate at the right speed. Took it up a notch with yesterday, and now you're midway through the workout, time to prove your endurance and then tomorrow you can cool down. Sunday is another example of how four day festivals are addictive, because regardless of being irritated by those camping neighbours who stayed on the campgrounds rather than attending shows, and regardless of the fact that you've slept very little due to their chemical and caffeine combinations, you have some amazing shows to attend [...]
After experimenting with three formats for the Monthly Mix - MP3 zip, Spotify playlist, Soundcloud set, etc. - in March we finally came upon a solution that pleased everyone: all of them. And so, for you, here is the month's music, whittled down to its very best, via each of the aforementioned mediums, limited only by its availability on said mediums. This means a 13-track zip, a 12-track Spotify playlist, and a whopping 54-track Soundcloud stream. And somehow, falling through all the cracks and not represented on any is one of the month's finest: The National's straight-to-Youtube " [...]
Kanrocksas has revealed the lineup for its 2013 festival, which takes place June 28th - 29th at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, KS. The festival took a hiatus last summer following its inaugural edition in 2011 . This year's lineup features Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Passion Pit, MGMT, Kendrick Lamar, The Avett Brothers, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, She & Him, Miguel, Empire of the Sun, Descendents, Yeasayer, Grimes, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, Killer Mike, A-Trak, and Camera Obscura. Also playing are Tiësto, fun., Pretty Lights, Imagine Dragons, Sublime with Rome, Dropkick Murphys, [...]
Festival line-up announcement season is in full swing, reminding us that the cold will soon let up and we'll be able to rock out to our favorite music in the sunshine. Every year, we rave about how incredible Sasquatch! Festival is, with the breathtaking views of The Gorge in Washington and the laid back vibes you get camping with mostly Northwesterners and Canadians (they are SO nice). This year is no different. The Postal Service continue their tour of festivals with a headlining gig this year, joining Mumford [...]
David D. on the 1s & 2s Sure, every rapper speaks on their past occasionally. But, the daring ones dedicate entire tracks to reflecting on their upbringing. These evocative cuts [...] The post Back In The Day: 20 Reminiscent Rap Songs appeared first on The Smoking Section .
Even though MTV doesn't really play them anymore, music videos have had a strong resurgence these past few years thanks primarily to services like YouTube and Vimeo. In addition to monetizing their visual content, artists have been able to reach and therefore gain more fans through a medium thought to have killed the radio star. It has also led to some huge leaps in technology as seen in Chairlift's incredible video for "Met Before". Director Jordan Fish and his team essentially allowed the viewer to choose their own adventure (remember those books?) and create a new experience each time [...]
Despite our compilations of the week's best videos, it's difficult to remember many of them for long. Each week brings something new to marvel at and yada yada yada your mind totally erases any memory of that Kanye West video you gasped at while eating cereal one Thursday in April. Whereas you can essentially live with a song, most videos are consumed with what amounts to a glance and a nod. Granted, that's not the case for all of them, and, hey, wouldn't you know that's why we're sitting here with 25 of them in December. So, [...]
It's that time of year when every music website, publication and blog (including this one) are busy compiling end of year lists. This time around, I thought I’d shift the focus to the bands and artist's who've played a 'BarryGruff Presents' show this year and ask them for their 'favourite album of 20122, 'favourite song of 20122 [...]
At the end of summer, Dyl’s come back from the YACHT show; he keeps checking himself saying he knows it’s crazy but he felt so sure that everything they were saying was in line with the Illuminati shit his corners of the internet talk about.
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Sweet Valley Facebook Sweet Valley is as much a musical project for Wavves frontman Nathan Williams and his younger brother Kynan as it is a living arrangement. Having spent the past four years crunching out punk-pop earworms in his main act, Nathan was looking to expand his musical horizons and after attending a show his brother put on, where Kynan Williams [...]
So here we are folks, nearly 5 months until 2013. Its been a very exiting year for music, especially for hip hop. Lots of young new talent and exiting concepts have been expressed throughout, but... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
And for our final list of the first half of 2012, we present to you our favorite songs of the past six months. We covered all the bases that we write about here at Potholes, from lyrically heavy boom-bap to flashy instrumental romps to everything in between. We contemplated ranking all of the 50 songs you'll find on the next few pages, but we instead decided to let them live freely among each other. Because, if nothing else, this would make one hell of a playlist no matter the order. Navigate through the pages by clicking the numbers [...]

This week for videos just fucking absolutely ruled , so before we get into what made this list, let's take a moment for all the videos that missed the cut. Among the casualties: Two eye-grabbing clips for A-list indie anthems, a mind-warping and visually sumptuous CocoRosie clip , a great bare-bones performance video , a legitimately funny minute-long sketch , a fun-to-watch fantasy/empowerment thing , a typically-engrossing ASAP Rocky video , a visually gorgeous and kinda-racist treatment of a massive pop-star duet, and a Willie Nelson video [...]

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Willy Wonka Beach House – “Lazuli” There are a lot of supernatural elements to Beach House's latest LP, and director Allen Cordell picked up on 'em, at least if his latest piece of work is any indication. Beast Make Bomb - "Dream Boat" Not your average beach day. Body Language - "The First" Remember getting excited (or legitimately pissed off) at seeing the headlights of [...]
Last week I wrote about Atlanta rapper Killer Mike's new record, R.A.P. Music , produced entirely by Brooklyn's El-Producto. Today I'm reviewing El-P's new record, Cancer For Cure. "It's like a fresh start to a new world - and I already want to go home," intones Jaime Meline on "Works Every Time," the third track on his much-anticipated new record Cancer For Cure. It's a rare, tuneful moment for Meline, alias El-P, whose verses skew more towards stream-of-consciousness assonance than melody. And lyrically, on an album full of metaphor and sideways language, this moment [...]
