> Growing up I knew too many bands that were desperate to be signed to a major label (to steal a phrase from Steve Albini - they were “anxious to be led around by their nose rings”) and, of the bands I knew, I can’t think of one that “broke out” and actually made any money. With too many people waiting for life to happen to them, I’ve admired Freddy Madball for years for making things happen on his own – Madball has been making music on their own terms for almost 25 years, Black N Blue Productions has [...]

S. Carey - Hoyas EP By James Blake There’s something suspicious about side projects. Accusations of unrest instantly attach themselves to the act in question with rumors of a dreaded farewell tour looming large. But do the same rules apply to Bon Iver, a band born from a cabin in the woods of Wisconsin? They survived their frontman’s rendezvous with Kanye but, traditionally more reserved drummer, S. Carey ’s latest offering Hoyas could hold more answers. Opener ‘Two Angles’ instantly calms [...]

I have been smitten with Bon Iver member S. Carey since hearing the title track from his 2010 solo LP In The Dirt. Carey's ability to weave lyrics and melody together in simple but elegant fashion resonated with me in a very special way. News that Carey will release a four-song EP titled Hoyas via [...]

Listen to "Two Angles" , the first release from S. Carey 's upcoming EP "Hoyas" out May 8th via Jagjaguwar . A month ago we posted the gorgeous 4AD/Jagjaguwar Session from Bon Iver that featured Justin Vernon with bandmate Sean Carey delivering some truly stunning acoustic versions of five of their band's songs. One thing that you had to take away from that video was the fact that Justin Vernon may be pretty genius [...]

Aunque en realidad la mayoría de nosotros identificamos a Bon Iver como banda de un solo hombre, lo cierto es que Justin Vernon tiene detrás a un grupo de acompañamiento igualmente talentoso que ha estado con él desde su debut del 2008, tanto en discos como en las miles de giras que han hecho para promocionar ambas producciones, la segunda ya ganadora de un Grammy. Entre la gente que respalda el sonido de Bon Iver está Sean Carey, o S. Carey para propósitos musicales, quien ya debutó en solitario en [...]

When he’s not busy pounding drums for multiple-Grammy-winning Bon Iver, Sean Carey also writes and records his own tunes. Beautiful, lush tunes, under the moniker S. Carey. Since releasing his debut LP, All We Grow, on August 24, 2010, Sean has been quite the busy man. Despite embarking on multiple tours, both in support of All We Grow with the Tallest Man on Earth, and that other little band Sean is involved with – Bon Iver – he still somehow managed to find the time to write a few new tracks. S. [...]

Our boys up at G-Town have been hyping the drop of  Tate's mixtape  for a while now. Finally, it dropped today, so here is a quick bio on the freshman rapper from his people. Tate Tucker, is an 18-year-old rapper at Georgetown University hailing from Los Angeles, CA. He first got involved with music in 5th grade when he started playing the drums. When high school came around he dropped the sticks and started freestyling. He recorded his first track his junior year and really started getting serious about his music. He [...]

It has been slow the past couple days so instead of forcing a post I will go back to sneakers. In honor of the college basketball season kicking off I bring to you the Nike Dynasty High "Georgetown Hoyas". These are some old-school sneakers with the huge swoosh and the high-top with the strap.
