I don't know if the people of Rio have caught on to this shining tribute to their city yet, but I sure as hell would love to be the one to bring it to them. I've never been, but Theo's Rio has given me a clear picture of how pleasant it must be. Every time I listen to it, it's like daydreaming back to that 19502s Rio or some Hunter S. Thompson tropic stupor. Either way, Theophilus London and his Menahan Street Band have made me dream in Rio. I can't wait for the sunny [...]

Photo by G. Iggy Pop and Geoffrey Dicker Iggy Pop!  One of the true rock gods was in New York to perform a secret show in our fair city.  Sadly, tickets were pretty much impossible to come by, but I figured it was worth a shot.  Well, in a case of you win some you lose some, I was unable to get into the show.  However, I got to meet the man of the hour, Iggy Pop!  He was super cool and even signed a lady's [...]

What do we know about Nicolas Jaar? He was born in New York, lived in Chile, studied comparative literature at Brown, he's the label owner of Clown & Sunset and, oh yeah , he won Radio 12s Essential Mix of the Year in 2012. While he's earned recognition in Europe for his masterful album and famed performance from Barcelona's  Sonar Festival , the American music scene is slowly catching on. The Red Bull Music Academy hosted Jaar and his Clown & Sunset   label two months back for Jaar's Boiler Room debut, and the results were stunning. Jaar's headlining [...]

With a sound that walks the line between dream pop and chill wave, New York producer Richard Cupolo has created a memorable debut that's become a favorite of ours. His debut record isn't due out until May 15th, but you can still preview it in all of it's grandeur in our review from earlier this month . Ahead of all this, we were able to catch up with Cupolo to find out a little about his background, plans for a tour, and if there was anything in the works to expand City Society into more [...]

To collect photographs is to collect the world. The subsequent industrialization of camera technology only carried out a promise inherent in photography from its very beginning: to democratize all experiences by translating them into images. Recently, photography has become almost as widely practiced an amusement as sex and dancing—which means that, like every mass art form, photography is not practiced by most people as an art. It is mainly a social rite, a defense against anxiety, and a tool of power. When we are afraid, we shoot. But when we are nostalgic, we take [...]

How have I only just been introduced to Goldroom? I wanna say I first heard him with his heavy Saguaro Mix , but I feel like I've known about him even before that. It could've been The Knock's remix of 'Only You Can Show Me,' which I love just a lil' more than the original. Or wait, give me a few more listens first. Also, thanks to Goldroom for crediting Mereki. Not enough producers credit their vocalists, surprisingly enough. I'll admit I like to see titles clean, but vocals like Mereki deserve [...]

When Steve Buscemi found out he was distant cousins with Vampire Weekend bassist, Chris Baio, he didn't just meet him and leave it at that,  he went a few extra steps for his new family member. After meeting for the first time at a VW rehearsal, Buscemi was asked to direct the webcast for the group's show April 28th at New York's Roseland Ballroom.  Once Buscemi and the group sit down to talk after rehearsal they come up with a plan to attract fans to the big NY show.  Vampire Weekend and their new director hit the streets and subways [...]

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that when Neon Gold Records speaks, the world should listen. Well they have spoken, this time about a single from ASTR  called "Operate." Hailing from the always musically impressive New York City, ASTR has emerged onto the blogosphere with ferocity, employing elements of indie R&B and hip-hop in a style not too unlike that of  Until The Ribbon Breaks . It's hard not feeling like the coolest thing since sliced bread when "Operate" blasts through your car speakers with the windows down. Download it below. MP3: [...]
