It's been almost three months and it's about time I post the before and after pics of the RV. It might show that I've got a history being Art Director for an Interior Magazine... haha. As you know we bought this old beauty in FL in November to become our home for the next two years. Naturally we weren't keen on keeping the turqouise carpet. And when pulling off the old pinkish wallpaper a whole bunch of waterleaks apperad as well. But most of it has been taken care of now. We spent two weeks rippng everything out [...]

I heard this first wayyyy back at the end of last Spring ( infact I name dropped it here ) but I never wondered why I didn't post it up. It's an interesting release from Bone Rock, with foundations very much in the purest of Hip Hop traditions (sampled loops and the touch of an MPC) with a kinda left field edge. STREAM/DOWNLOAD 'Ears' FROM BANDCAMP HERE Released on the Dropping Gems label which is very interesting in itself; they dropped a compilation not [...]

The Owls Are Not What They Seem "...Not dread but a connection with our past is what we feel, a thread running back to the artless creatures we once were when we first heard the oboe-like notes from the Great Horned Owl. In Paleolithic times, we suspected omens in its voice, heard in it questions we were unable to articulate, but which have stayed within us, incomplete and taunting. We are certain that ancient, taloned bird sees what we do not, knows what we never will. And some night, silent as a gliding feather, [...]

We've been touring for little over a month now and gone from sunny Florida to cold North Carolina. I've overcome my fear of driving the RV and since Jonas fixed the cruise control I don't mind driving at all. But there's still one thing that scares me. What if the RV falls over. Every time we're on a sharp curve on a highway exit I dread this. Even though Jonas says there's no chance of that happening I still feel like it could happen. Me and Jonas in [...]

Disco is not dead, as Blake Robin, aka Baron von Luxxury , reminds us his shimmering and witty synth-pop. As the newest addition to the Manimal Vinyl family, (a label that is home to bands with a darker edge — Warpaint, Sister Crayon, Bat For Lashes), Robin's persona as Baron von Luxxury blissfully bumps into different territory. A songwriter-for-hire by day who has written hits for artists like Little Boots, but a colorful musician by night who first garnered attention for his kaleidoscopic remixes for Glass Candy, HEALTH and Marianne Faithful, Robin is only a month and [...]

The Word Is Bond continues it's annual mentions to the most noteworthy talents in hip-hop from 2011. Producers; whether forging the foundations for MC's to jump on, or crafting instrumentals to be enjoyed in their own form... 5. Exile Exile is undeniable. He could have maintained a strong reputation purely by continuing as one half of Emanon, but his presence behind the boards with some of hip-hop's game changing MC's in recent years has introduced his talents to a whole new audience. It's been a strong year of guest productions [...]

Tweet " Hold Back " by The Revival Hou r may be the best mix of modern electronic with classic Soul I've ever heard. The Revival Hour are the new project from the amazing DH Stith and JM Lapham ( The Earlies / The Late Chord ) which draws out the ideal trademarks of both artists while still pushing them in a creative direction neither has ventured to attempt before now. [...]

Last night I played a gig at Natura Coffee and Tea in Orlando. I had a lot of friends coming to the gig as we've stayed in Orlando, both two years ago and now while we're fixing up the RV. It was a fun gig and I had a great time! Today, we've almost finished the RV and tomorrow we're taking it to Lakeland for a gig at Evolution Records. [...]

Them Crooked Vultures at Coachella 2010 ( more by Rachel Carr ) Father of two Robert McIndoe, 52, was unable to sleep for three months after going to a rock concert that left him with a permanent ringing in his ear. He was watching supergroup 'Them Crooked Vultures' at Brixton Academy. In the coming months Mr McIndoe faced an uphill struggle to to get proper treatment for the condition, Southwark Coroner's Court heard. His wife eventually received a letter of referral to a hospital ear, nose and throat specialist on November 1 last year [...]

Santa Barbara quartet Howlin' Woods oscillate in the space between spacey psych-pop and simmering, soulful folk, and one of the notable qualities about their self-titled debut album is that there is space in their music. The band — singer-guitarist Jordan Chetakian, guitarist Griffin Chetakian, keyboardist-bassist Brian Chandler and drummer Matthew Farrington — has been cultivating its sound since 2009. They've obviously grounded themselves in classic rock, but they aren't in a hurry to pillage any one corner of it. In fact, judging from their atmospheric, slow-burning material, they don't seem in a hurry at [...]

There is no doubt that Sabrosa Purr is one of the most-shredding rock bands around L.A., but it's interesting to see its members try new sound palettes and continue exploring. In addition to Mahsa Zargaran's project Omniflux , fellow band members Angie Mattson and Jeff Mendel have also been making music together as In the Valley Below . On their recently released 5-song EP, which bears the same name as the band, electro-pop takes on various veneers as "Take Me Back" is a dark, steadily syncopated ballad and "Palm Tree Fire" spins around in psychedelia. Produced by John [...]

Akribi photo by Alexa Andersson Soon the last part of H.A.T.E will be released by Swedish metal band Akribi . We managed to keep them still for a few minutes to ask them some questions about the meaning of life and metal... Hi Akribi! You guys are doing "E - Part Four of H.A.T.E". How has the experience been so far? Definitely different. We're not at all used to interpreting other musician's materials, nor working with such tight deadlines, but it's been a [...]

Talk about perfect timing for an album release. L.A. band the Active Set has cautiously released two singles over the last couple of years, but they've been waiting to present "113 on just the right date — which is today, Nov. 11, 2011. Their debut also consists of 11 tracks which offer a diverse sound palette that will please fans of new wave and '80s post-punk (albeit sometimes tinted by some tropical rhythms). Matthew Stolarz, Wayne Russell, Francis Ramsden, and Michael Castro also dabble in a bit of electronica as synthesizers weave in and out of guitar riffs [...]

League's bio make for a nice story. The project is the transatlantic collaboration between Jorge Ribeiro and José Tornada, whose decided to forgo their college studies in journalism and architecture, live on the beach and, ostensibly with the help of some guitars, effects pedals, keyboards and recording devices, share their blissful pop vision. And "How Do I Know," their second EP of this year, is that — buoyant and textured and sweetly yearning. The driving, phased guitars in the title track feel like a celebration, and the intro to "Your World" feels like arriving at a '60s [...]

Bikos sounds like the most fun you can have without getting sponsored at happy hour, or without selling your soul to the synth devil. The Los Angeles art-punks new album "Make Your Sound Sound" binges on the pummeling rhythms and ecstatic licks of the B-522s, Talking Heads and other bands who made the clamorous glamorous. Whether they're shouting or singing, banging the drums or clanging the glockenspiel, the sextet of Gabriel Pearlman, Austin Wester, Jaron Halmy, Daniel Hur, Dave Jones and Michaella Burton pack their debut album with electric moments. "Make Your Sound Sound" (out this week) [...]

This is filling my ears tonight, and boy does it feel good. Mp3: Amy Winehouse- Brother

Judging from the sleek sophistication, island undertones and precise arrangements on the debut EP from Montë Mar , it's immediately apparent the Los Angeles quintet didn't just fall out of their bedrooms with a few chord progressions and lovelorn lyrics. Three members met while playing in and around the USC jazz community — in fact, Brian Green, Kyle Crane and Bill Zimmerman comprise the jazz trio Eastsiders might have encountered at their backroom gigs at the Satellite. Guitarist Jonathan Patterson is known in other parts of the world (especially Brazil) as Capital , a nickname bestowed on him [...]
