Though we obviously can't post the whole album, here’s “I Am God” featuring the Big Man Himself. May this quench your thirst until Tuesday's release. Kanye West Ft. God - [...]

aaron farley Indian Jewelry are from Houston. I’m living in Houston. It’s a weird place full of weirdos; a primordial swamp of high art, outsider art, and heavy industry. It’s also the kind of soup you’ll drown in if you don’t grow legs. Indian Jewelry have legs. So does their new album, Peel It , which may be their best yet. They explain evolution, better than I can, on the new album’s track, ‘Slouchback With Gills’: ‘I was a thing with a tail / But not anymore … Now I can’t even play [...]

Banyak kolega yang berkata kalau penampilan the Adams di Music Gallery 2013 kemarin itu fenomenal dan keren, ada perkembangan musikalitas yang jika sebelumnya suka dikritik karena canggung-canggung bingung mau jadi Weezer atau jadi apa gitu sekarang mereka adalah The Adams. Beruntunglah saya dikirimkan tautan video ini oleh Teguh Wicaksono dan menyaksikan 46 menit lebih 36 detik penampilan memukau band ini.

Phish, Insane Clown Posse and the Saving Grace of Chaos and Community:  Nathan Rabin's Psychospiritual Odyssey Among Two Lost Tribes of American Pop Culture Written By : Josh Fleet Nathan Rabin is no stranger to manic descents into the darkest corners of mind, body and soul. His memoir, The Big Rewind , told through the lens of pop culture, is rife with trauma, heartbreak, neglect and often-debilitating neuroses. So, perhaps it's not surprising that soon after setting out to [...]

"Nightingale Floors may not be a huge progression from Rogue Waves' earlier work,  but it is still an earnest release that is easy to listen and relate to..." Rogue Wave  |  Nightingale Floors Aside from 2010’s synthy, poppy, goofy Permalight , all of Rogue Wave’s albums have been generally consistent and enjoyable.  Led by Zach Rogue, The Oakland natives have developed a knack for the kind of smart, vibey indie rock that music supervisors just can’t get enough of.  They may not have achieved the same level of notoriety as contemporaries like The Shins and [...]

G oing into Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Bruins coaching staff will be faced with a decision that they probably never envisioned having to make - to bench rookie defenseman Torey Krug, or not to bench rookie defenseman Torey Krug?

Krug, a former two-year captain at Michigan State who chose [...]

It is so easy to get excited about following all your favorite artists on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/Vin e. You're friends now, right?! You can see what they're thinking, talk directly to them, and get exclusive access to all the sweet stuff rock stars do. And for the most part, that's true. There are some musicians who are awesome at social media—they get how and when to use it, and do so effectively. And then there are some who find it necessary to #hashtag #every #word, start Twitter feuds or post pictures that are just TMI. In an effort to help, we've outlined some [...]

Jason Letkiewicz is a man of many names, but it's most likely that you know him as Steve Summers. Debuting on Clone's Jack For Daze imprint a few years ago and solidifying his C.V. through missives for labels like Echovolt and (crucially) L.I.E.S., Summers has become an intriguing voice among the latest crop of house producers. His early releases were drenched in analog timbres and Chicago-reminiscent structures, but lately his music has become unhinged, charting territories all his own. His live show is an impressive, enthralling set of propulsive house percussion and assertive (sometimes abrasive) textures - all cast in [...]
