How could we properly follow-up on our feature of Ryan Hemsworth , the could-have-been-journalist? By sharing his latest EP, Still Awake , that's how. We actually didn't do anything except trip over the update on his website and figuring it'd be good karma to share instead of hoarding it. So, stream it below then download it by clicking here .

More details are spewing with regards to the new Mariah Carey album, this time from mega-producer Rodney Jerkins. He said: "Mariah's great. We had a chance to write together and it was really cool. She's a pro, she's a real pro and relatable, too. She has two children, two beautiful kids and we got a chance to really get to know her and Nick and the kids doing this project and they just bring that class act family and you know it's good to have friends like that." Miguel had a [...]
Canadian-bred Ryan Hemsworth is kinda killing the game as of late - his touring schedule has continued to fill up, production credits continue to mount, and any remix he releases has people losing their sh*t temporarily. Today we get the anticipated 7-track Still Awake EP, a collection of tracks - that akin to Hemsworth overall - are very "now". His material has a very current feel to it, pulling influences from a variety of relevant peers today from a mellow xxyyxx sound to something as intense as TNGHT. Stream / download [...]
Giftz ' local hit-record " Nino " was a monstrous collaboration with Tree that became an instant favorite among many listeners, so the remix had a difficult mission to fulfill as it tried to match the quality of the OG. Nevertheless, Giftz called in the best crew in Chicago right, SaveMoney, and they came through with that heat you would expect them to deliver. Joey Purp, Kami de Chukwu, Dally Auston, Brian Fresco & Caleb James all spit a verse and kill it with their own style.
Very few albums have effected us as much as Janet Jackson's monumental janet. Actually, it is one of the reasons why we fell in love with music so much. it was the perfect album. It had everything - slow jams, big hits, high energy dance numbers, a message and twists and turns. It encapsulated the journey that many artists attempted to take us on when the album ruled supreme. From the staccato of "Funky Big Band" to the sweet tone of "Where Are You Now?" Every track from the album [...]
![[Mixtape] Daryn Alexus x Dee Lilly: “VHML2″](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4967605_lg.jpg)
The combination of Daryn Alexus ' beautiful voice and Dee Lilly 's polarizing work behind the boards result in an epic sound enhanced only by the concepts and themes the two tackle on their latest project Vintage Heart Modern Love Vol. 2 .

All types of instrumentation can be found throughout the 'tape and Daryn speaks on subjects I feel we all can relate to, I highly recommend you give VHML2 a listen today. [via LyricalLab ]
TGI Fridays, you give bars a bad name, a bad name... "State authorities this morning raided 29 bars and restaurants across New Jersey on suspicion that they have been re-filling empty bottles of their most expensive liquors with cheaper alcohol. Dubbed "Operation Swill," the year-long investigation found the establishments fooled customers so they could charge higher prices and bolster their profits, according to a statement released by the state Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control."

We love interesting projects. And DAVIDS, whose tunes dropped into our inbox today with a particularly engaging note, certainly seems like an interesting project. Hailing from Canada and going only by the name of DAVIDS, this is the product of a move back into his parent's house and features vocals from Mitch Bowden. As to who DAVIDS consists of - well, we're not too sure yet, but they drop their debut EP on 4th June. The video to 'Dead Walkie', which was shot in Lyon, directed by Christopher Mills (Interpol, Broken Social Scene, Modest Mouse, Rush) [...]

![[RH Review] Fast & Furious 6](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4967563_lg.jpg)
The Fast and the Furious franchise has been experiencing a bit of a rebirth since Fast & Furious was released in 2009. Directed by Justin Lin, Fast & Furious tied together to the first film of the franchise, The Fast and the Furious , and established a continuity for the next sequels to follow. 20112s Fast Five brought an injection to the franchise that Fast & Furious lacked, bringing in newcomer Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a formidable opposite to franchise star Vin Diesel. With a tighter narrative that slowly moved away from the street racing it was [...]

As mentioned , the Coney Island Mermaid Parade was in danger of not happening this year, due to new costly regulations and restrictions (and Hurricane Sandy). We posted already that Amanda Palmer is headlining a Save the Mermaid Parade benefit that's happening on Saturday (5/25) at Bowery Ballroom . Since we originally posted about it, the line-up of talent has expanded and now includes Mina Caputo ( formerly Life of Agony singer Keith Caputo), Spanking Charlene , Beautiful Small Machines and a "rare guitar solo" from infamous film [...]
Good lord , Nacho Picasso . This new song, "F*ck Rio", is insane, through and through. I'm not sure where the audio of the woman, Rio, stems from and if it's actually some groupie who flipped out on the Seattle rapper, but that doesn't really matter. The track is essentially a spaced-out shot of vitriol delivered through one of hip-hop's finest cold-hearted talents. Dude drops so many quotables here that I could have probably just listed those instead of writing the previous sentences. Listen to the track below.
After dropping off the passionate " Shaka Zulu ", F.Stokes is back at it with the second leak from his forthcoming album "19543. Capturing the story of his grandfather's relocation from Arkansas to Chicago in 1954, F.Stokes paints a different picture of a city that has been illustrated an awful lot in recent hip-hop. And Doomtree's Paper Tiger does a fantastic job handling production duties, too. Fearless Beauty drops June 17.

The release of Boards of Canada's new album "Tomorrow's Harvest" cannot come a moment too soon. For now, we've been treated to the first single, "Reach for the Dead," which comes with a music video by Neil Krug. The sound is darker, as it was in my personal favorite BoC record, "Geogaddi," but also pushes their sound into unheard of trajectories. Krug's video perfectly captures this tension between past, future, geometry, mysticism, flight, mystery and everything else that Boards of Canada communicates in their music and visuals.
