The morning was lovely. I had to be up and about early, early for me, not the rest of the world, and be in Hyannis by nine. When I went outside to leave, my windshield was covered in frost. The air was wonderfully crisp the way a winter morning should be. It wasn't cold, but there was a chill in the air left over from the nighttime. The sun was just gearing up to warm the day. It's already 45°. After my appointment, I did a bit of last-minute shopping. I needed a few small gifts for Colorado [...]
It's an exciting time to be alive and I'm not referring to the jetpacks, hovercrafts, teleporters and such. No, it's bacon. Canadian bacon. It's not really Canadian Canadian bacon (which is, actually, back bacon) but American Canadian bacon (which was invented by McDonald's). I brought up the subject once with a Canadian friend and he dropped his head, shaking it slowly back and forth. Like the stereotypical Canadian, this fellow was polite and generally good-natured. "That's not bacon," he sighed. I'd seldom seen him so peeved as [...]
With the ability to download an entire studio for immediate use (on your lap), there are thousands of popular artists out there making new singles all the time.

This weekly segment will bring you the popular remixes and the never heard of "Transexual Viking Sword Brothers" remixes of an artist's singles. From all these bedroom producers we are seeing one [...]
During my early teen years in Toronto it was hard to escape the music of The Pursuit Of Happiness. Songs like "I'm An Adult Now", "Two Girls In One", "Hard To Laugh", "Cigarette Dangles", and "Gretzky Rocks" are still sprinkled across my iPod. Recently, Kris Abbott, the band's guitarist and backing vocalist, released a new album. Now located in Kingston, Abbott hooked up with Dee McNeil of The
Last Saturday night, beats were dropping and the beach was popping. After a jam packed day of Dew Tour BMX park and skateboard bowl finals, thousands of fans flocked to the Ocean City, MD boardwalk for free concert on the beach featuring a star-studded hip hop lineup of The Dean's List, The Cool Kids, and headliner Kid Cudi. With all the heat and hoopla that this combo stirred up, the atmosphere at the concert was wild. The up and coming group The Dean's List [...]
Cudders doin what he does best.
Last episode, Taylor K. Brown and I, Taylor K. Long, took you through the wild world of Katy Perry, Kanye West, sci-fi, sex metaphors, R. Kelly, Fleet Foxes and Starbucks.

Barbara's chill retake on Kid Cudi
It's always a memorable moment when a guest spot on a record is realized live in a concert. You wouldn't know it, but Kid Cudi's past single "Pursuit of Happiness", off his debut 2009 LP, Man on the Moon: The End of Day , features some vocal work from NY's MGMT . Recently, Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser showed up with Cudder on stage at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City (via Rap Radar ). Check out the collaboration IRL above. Go 'head, white boys.
So my boy Mikey Gendell is helping put together a dope little show at Mizzou at The Bluenote with ProbCause , Sinclair Wheeler , DJ E-V (I did a set with him, Chip Tha Ripper , and Felix Cartal this Halloween) and one of the filthiest DJ/producers around, the legendary Steve Aoki . Since founding Dim Mak Records in 1996, Steve Aoki has since helped shape the electronic club scene as it has transitioned into a mainstream phenomenon. Steve Aoki has personally helped launch the [...]
So one of the Peoria homies, DJ Blee, is getting big into the video production. He gave me a few joints to share with the world. If you're spinning vid's be sure to grab these. You can preview them on Zshare but the video seemed super jerky to me. Daft Punk - Derezzed Blee Breakdown edit Far [...]

I'll tell you now, there will be Talking Heads references and "Best of The Year" claims and further proclamations of love and avarice throughout this gusher of an article. In the 13th hour of this year, Cloud Control's Bliss Release is the first album I would hold above my head and play for the girl [...]

Also, check out one of our favorite covers of this track by Aussie upstarts, Cloud Control, here Lissie – Pursuit of Happiness (Kid Cudi Cover) Her debut album Catching the Tiger is out now!
Think of someone famous called Barbara. Got one in mind? Is it one of these ? Well either way there's nobody in Barbara who's actually called Barbara, they've all got dude names since they're all dudes (apart from the one chick who has a chick's name), but they're sure as hell named after someone who's more than likely not a dude. When they sent me their EP it was something that I got into instantly, laden with emotive lyrics, catchy choruses, a mixture of Electronic-New-Wave atmospheres and when Betsy gets on the mic, it's like a futuristic [...]
Thanks to so many devoted fans, friends, family members, and the like, I was chosen to be a writer...
As we wait for CuDi's Man On the Moon sequel we find our self consistently playing his debut. There is a part in one of the songs, that from the very first time we heard it we became religiously addicted. Yes, that part would be the portion in "Pursuit of Happiness" when the electric guitar explodes into that ravishing riff performed by Ratatat . Turn up the volume and take a listen for yourself. Download audio file (13-Pursuit-of-Happiness-Feat. -MGMT.mp3) We've been throwing this word around a lot lately but damn, [...]
