Here's a wacky coincidence - the person put in charge of running the Rolling Stone website, Gus Wenner, has the same surname as the man in charge, Jay Wenner. What are the odds, eh? Now, it might be that Gus Wenner is the best-placed-person in the world to run the RS website, but given he's the bosses' son, it's hard not to smell a bit of a rat. Gawker drips sarcasm all over the place : Gus Wenner, 22, is an amazing media success story. Just a few years ago, he was [...]
L.A. hiphop collective, Odd Future is the creative home to many burgeoning artists including R&B crooner Frank Ocean, cacophonic OF leadman Tyler, the Creator, and the young Earl Sweatshirt. Odd Future is also the hub of other odd offshoots and collaborations like The Internet, Mellowhype, and The Jet Age of Tomorrow. The Jet Age of Tomorrow includes The Internet's Matt Martians and Pyramid Vritra's Hal Williams. With a guy Matt Martian serving as the creative juggernaut behind the duo, it's no wonder why their spacey soundscapes are something I would image a guy [...]
Give the Drummer Some's Favorite Downloads from the MP3 Blogosphere The universe of music-sharing blogs just keeps expanding. My latest obsession is Lola Vandaag , which began posting in October 2011. Describing itself as ongeregelde verzameling geluid ("unregulated collection of sound"), this wonderful blog leaves no continent unappreciated. Some of the delights you'll encounter: Enchanting radio broadcasts from the world over, street organ sounds, international religious oddities, smoldering dance bands, cantorial superstars, rantings of shamans and mushroom enthusiasts, sizzling accordionists, music that will make you cry—and [...]
When I was about 13, I wasn’t particularly into music (at least not in the way that I am now). Almost all of the music that constituted my world was the Smashing Pumpkins and despite the fact that it sounded great, I didn’t really understand the rage. Enter FM radio stations. The radio, before the internet, showed me why this music mattered. I heard about Elvis and Buddy Holly and the rebellious nature of rock ‘n roll. I began to understand how musical eras progressed and the artists that made this progression happen. I gained a perspective about the music [...]
A nude Mac Miller chosen as album artwork will likely leave the majority of teenage girls in a frenzy, but damn Mac... Miller is currently [...]
La RIAA , esa entidad repugnante, retrógrada y odiada por todos los que amamos la música, realizó un anuncio que, curiosamente, me dejó sorprendido. Desde ahora la RIAA tendrá en cuenta el streaming a la hora de contabilizar las escuchas para dar los álbumes de Oro y Platino. Si tenemos en cuenta que los cambios que hubo desde que se comenzó a realizar esta medición, en el año 1958, fueron mínimas, demuestra la importancia no solo que tienen sino que le empiezan a dar a este tipo de servicios donde cada vez más [...]
Here is a real bittersweet piece of news, as Mac Miller announces a massive tour with the likes of Chance the Rapper, Vince Staples, Earl Sweatshirt, Action Bronson, the Internet and more. While not every date will feature every artist, this proves to be yet another move from Mac Miller to try and penetrate the underground rap scene. And the lineup is filled definitely with quality acts, but I am sure not all of us will be staying for the headliner. With that said, check out the tour dates below and let us know if you'll be attending. [...]

A child once tweeted at his father: "@Daddy, how long is 4evr?" The father took a moment before replying: "@Son, 4evr is 4evr." The son looked at his mobile device and tried 2 understand. How long is 4evr on the internet? Can your content on the internet live on 4evr on the internet? Will websites on the internet last 4evr? Will people on the internet live 4evr? Longer than they live IRL Digital footprint lasting 4evr [...]
Paul Miller ends his one-year Internet sabbatical : I guess those first months felt so good because I felt the absence of the pressures of the internet. My freedom felt tangible. But when I stopped seeing my life in the context of "I don't use the internet," the offline existence became mundane, and the worst sides of myself began to emerge. I would stay at home for days at a time. My phone would die, and nobody could get ahold of me. At some point my parents would get fed up with wondering [...]

Am Mittwoch gab es bei mir die Haltungsnote mangelhaft. Das sieht zwar scheinbar ganz passabel aus, einem Golfspieler struben sich womglich die Haare. Erstmals ein paar Stunden Golf gespielt, erschien mir aber anstrengender als das in der Nhe eingezunte Rudel Vogelstraue zum Fliegen zu bringen. Ich kenne mich zwar nicht im Fachjargon aus, aber fr ein Parcours von sagen wir mal 250 Meter brauchte ich bis zum finalen Einlochen an die zehn Schlge. Und dann habe ich mir noch den ersten blen Sonnenbrand eingehandelt. Die Woche ist zwar auch eine ganze Menge an neuer Musik eingetroffen, die Versandtten stapeln sich [...]

Websites on the internet are for people on the internet to travel to to visit to stop by to hang out @ People will visit a website to consume content to consume themselves to be consumed by anything other than real life. Websites have people on [...]
Give the Drummer Some's Favorite Downloads from the MP3 Blogosphere Most excellent news! One of the preeminent music bloggers out there—Reza, who not long ago shuttered his site, El Reza, after nearly six years of stellar sharing—has resurfaced as a contributor to another blog! Earlier this year, it appeared that Reza had returned after taking some time off, but his return was agonizingly short-lived. Now, once again, it appears that our man with big ears is back in action, this time as a partner in sublime with [...]
