![[memories] Outside Lands 2012](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4457945_lg.jpg)
It's been three plus days since Outside Lands came to an end and i've needed every minute of it to fully recover. This was my first legitimate music festival and it was a lot to take in. With that said, I would do it all over again this weekend if I could. I had so much fun last weekend, not even the total lack of sleep, the nightly struggles of finding my way home, the $9 beers, or the bird that shat in my eye Friday night will keep me [...]
In all my years as a festie, I've never been to a festival where gloves seemed like a perfectly sound idea. But San Francisco defies the logic of California (as comedian Marcus Monroe put it, "It's summer, so tell your fucking city that"), with cool days and downright cold evenings. Still, the City by the Bay plays one hell of a host. Coming from Boston, the honest politeness of the people here was shockingly apparent from the moment I stepped onto the BART. With sunny skies above, it was a warm welcome to the weekend ahead. Of course, [...]
Stereogum Over the weekend, thousands of fans flocked to this year's Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park. Overcast and chilly weather was offset by the fire from the Metallica pyrotechnics and warm vibes from festival attendees. Neil Young & Crazy Horse turned up their guitars to close out Friday, Metallica blew everyone away with their hellfire on Saturday, and Stevie Wonder dazzled with his barrage of hits to on Sunday. Some of the other highlights included Jack White's impromptu set in the midst of the trees, [...]

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Willy Wonka Best Coast - "The Only Place" If living in California actually is anything like what Best Coast make it out to be in their latest video, I might start believing Bethany Cosentino when she sings, "Why would you live anywhere else?" Dirty Projectors – “Gun Has No Trigger” Is that you Dave Longstreth? It's hard to tell due to the fact that the Dirty Projectors spend almost the entire video in [...]

Narrowing my list down to just ten was quite a task this year. But it was a problem I am grateful to have. With a year so heavily saturated with good new music, it has made it extremely difficult but tons of fun to come up with a list of my favorite albums of year, which I am happy to present to you today. 10. Regina Spektor - Far She can be a little kitschy but she is so [...]

Welcome to the annual "Top Albums of the Year" list. As I expected, 2009 was an amazing year for music. Putting together this list was much harder than I anticipated. There were so many quality albums that did not make the cut and I'm sure I'll kick myself two months from now for leaving something [...]
La gente del sitio NPR ha hecho una recopilación bastante interesante en cuanto a música, se trata de una lista que engloba los mejores sencillos y discos en lo que va de este 2009 , esta lista no esta hecho por algún editor, simplemente refleja los votos (y gustos por supuesto) de la gente. La lista de las mejores canciones contiene unos 30 sencillos , sin embargo a continuación les dejo los primeros 10 lugares: Animal Collective - My Girls [...]
I had a feeling this track would get the remix treatment from someone. The name "Dance Anthem of the 80's" practically begs for it. Bodytime is the forst I know to do it and he kicks out a glorious wave of sparkling synth sprites paired with a slurred/sliced rendition of Regina Spektor 's vocals. I love it! mp3: Regina Spektor - Dance Anthem Of The 80's (Bodytime Remix) and here's Bodytime's contribution to the Passion Pit/Little Secrets remix-fest: mp3: Passion Pit - Little Secrets (Bodytime Remix)
