"Holy fuck this is so good." Man, I love hearing musicians saying kind things about their fellow talented comrades. So when I read this reaction from Grimes about New Zealand girl LORDE , my face was painted with a smile. Having only released her debut EP, The Love Club , on her own just last year, she's already grabbed the attention of many with these five songs, such as [previously noted] Grimes and Diplo . With these influential, supportive artists aside, her name has reached out to the ears of many from all [...]
![Major Lazer – Get Free (feat. Amber Coffman) [Blood Diamonds Remix]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4822938_lg.jpg)
Quality remixes just keep rolling in today. Here's a brand new one from Vancouver native and Grimes collaborator Blood Diamonds.

This might be one of the biggest mixes on Diplo & Friends radio show for BBC1 , Avicii teams up with trap producer RL Grime to create a two hour mix of pure gold. The first hour is a mix by Avicii , who mixed in classic jams that influenced him, some favorites, as well as house bangers. Then the next half RL Grime takes over and does his thing. This is huge step for the radio show and loved what these guys mixed together. You can stream and download [...]

![The Most Overrated Bands of 2k12 [Don't Believe the Buzz]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4666564_lg.jpg)
FUCK WHAT THAT LIST TOLD U. FUCK WHAT UR FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK THINK THEY KNOW. ALL THAT SHIT IS OVERRATED. DON'T BE A LAMESTREAMER WHO 'BUYS THE BUZZ.' SEE THRU THE LIES. IT'S ALL A BUSINESS, FAVOR FOR FAVOR, SPONSORSHIPS, LIES. THESE ARE THE MOST OVERRATED BANDS OF 2K12. 11. Purity Ring and Tanlines I don't really see these groups as 'real bands' even though they are 'trying' as artists to have a vision and message or whatever. They [...]
Ah, the holidays. A time for family, friends, food, celebrations, and, of course, stress. This time of year comes as a double-edged sword in that it's both joyous but incredibly taxing. So in an effort to help cross one thing off your to-do list, we've lent a hand with the guest list and rounded up 12 musicians you should invite for Thanksgiving dinner. Granted, none of them are your average Martha Stewarts, but it's safe to say that what they lack in domestic skills, they definitely make up for in entertainment. Regardless of how the turkey tastes, it's sure to [...]
Skrillex setup some train tour across Canada, taking EDM music to previously uncultured regions of Canada. Maybe even the backwards regions where they want to speak French and give up free healthcare and be able to marry multiple people. Anyways, they rode a train together and had meaningful times, utilizing free wifi, hanging out on laptops 2gthr. Who knows if they collab-ed, or maybe just shared some memes. "Drag the ableton file into the Gibson mainframe and hack the planet." 'After so many nights of fun, DJ-wave fame, curvy bitches, and [...]
Absolute Monarchs - 2:15 - Main Stage photo by Colby Perry Describing noise rock duo Lightning Bolt's noon set at an installment of All Tomorrow's Parties, Steve Albini said their loud thrashing was "the best alarm clock I've ever had." It's likely that the sleepier residents of Capitol Hill had a similar feeling about Absolute Monarchs ' early afternoon set. Only stopping to take a breath in between songs, Absolute Monarchs' booming set was like a freight train to the main stage audience, hitting every person with [...]
Back in May we spilled details on the 'Full Flex Express' train tour that'd send Skrillex, Diplo, Pretty Lights and Grimes among others on a train tour reminiscent of the 190702s festival express. With the last stop going down tonight in Vancouver some photos and footage have popped up online [via the Peasant Noise blog] showing the clash of rather unique producers. One of my personal favourites and good friend of Grimes, Blood Diamonds Skrillex... blowing minds! [...]
This weather is making it almost impossible to write anything half decent so I’ll keep this short. The Full Flex Express Tour might just be the craziest show you'll see this summer. With Grimes, Diplo, Pretty Lights, Skrillex, and MORE taking the stage, ya’ll know its going to be a night to remember...or completely forget. We want all the bb’s to experience this madness with us so we’re giving away 2 tickets for the show on Sunday. No skittles will be included. Here's what you have to do for a chance to [...]
Fresh Espresso ::: photo by Josh Lovseth Plebian Paradise, it's so good to see you again. It's been about a year but every July you come to Seattle, sashshaying your way into the conscious of local residents who then proceed to complain to me about how awesome it used to be before I moved here who [...]
The Full Flex Express Tour kicked off this past weekend, calling all aboard in Toronto and moving across six Canadian cities in just over a week. Joining frontman Skrillex on the tour was an eclectic mix of DJs and producers that don’t seem to fit the bill of any one genre - the trendsetters on the lineup makes the FFE mini-festival even more intriguing (not to mention the Janis Joplin-inspired concept of a train tour itself). As openers [...]
![[PLAYLIST] The Best SONGS of 2012 – Part 1 (Jan-June)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4377375_lg.jpg)
Lets not talk about the fact this year is already half over. Thats just insane. About as insane as the quality of jams that have been pumping through TBE HQ's speakers these past 6 months. Here is the best of the best. Did I miss any? Did you miss any? (Thanks to Vladimir Bobritskiy for the album art.) 25. My Great Ghost - Plain Sight / A pulsating, haunting, and thoroughly beautiful journey. 24. Purity Ring - Obedear / Slightly creepy. Very ominous. Highly infectious. 23. Kitten Berry Crunch - Black and Blue [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Music Appreciation Hector Mata, AFP The King of Pop Michael Jackson made over $1 billion dollars in 2009. It was helped by the fact the "Beat It" and "Thriller" singer had an unprecedented year of sales success. That year Jackson sold 8.2 million albums throughout his catalog in the U.S. alone, which was more than any other artist. He also had four separate albums [...]

Consequence of Sound' s Summer Tour Guide will lead you to the darkest, dankest (not every venue has a ventilation system, folks) concerts where you can dance the night away after spending too many hours in the sun. From Dirty Projectors to Phish to the Diplo/Grimes/Skrillex extravaganza that is the Full Flex Express, we've listed the best and brightest artists that are touring new or as-of-yet unreleased albums , touring around festival appearances, or just touring because it's damn fun. -Harley Brown Associate Editor Feature artwork [...]
John Londono I didn't study a whole lot of history in school - to my regret - and the topics I did cover didn't include the War Of 1812. I did, however, take a lot of math courses so I am able to calculate that this is the 200th anniversary of said conflict between the then-British territory that would become known as Canada and the newly-independent United States of America. The precise causes of the war aren't entirely clear to me but based on the musical events being scheduled at Toronto's Historic Fort [...]
