Pioneering college hip hop radio jocks Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito sit down on the couch for an interview with rap scholar Chairman Jefferson Mao, touching down on the beauty of unprofessional radio and the joy of igniting careers for [...]

Bringing together music lovers and festival goers from all over the world for a weekend of fun, art and music in Golden Gate Park is just one of the positive impacts the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival has on the Bay Area.
[ via ] On Portals newest feature section, "PORTALswap", the London/San Francisco project, Joseph Stallion was showcased. The band consists of two, Max Petrek and his female vocalist, Erin Ross. They teamed up with Montreal's Seapoint to fabricate an atmospheric bass churner that hits incredibly deep in all fields. 'Made Like This' lays down a set of noisy embedded samples while synths hover over it to enlighten the ever so captivating vocals of both Max and Erin. There's a sense of spatial ambiance that Seapoint brings to the track [...]

Chuck Prophet – Temple Beautiful | CD Vinyl MP3 "Castro Halloween" (mp3) Because of the subject matter, which focuses on anecdotes and reminisces about San Francisco, Temple Beautiful is inevitably compared to Lou Reed's New York, an album homage to...
Adios Amigo - Debut// While reading another awesome Tumblr blog, Ghost FM I came across some easy breezy pop that could really only come from one place, San Francisco. Adios Amigo released their self titled five track EP this past August which you can stream in full from their bandcamp page. Their sound is mellow, yet full of joy. The SF Chronicle describes them perfectly when they say, "Adios Amigo's music is like taking a happy pill; their pop melodies are like a loving hug." So prepare your self for a bear hug [...]
Explosions in the Sky hit the road and we've go the dates!
I caught Zodiac Death Valley at a recent performance in front of a rather motley crew at Portland's Kenton Club. Needless to say it felt right. The San Francisco five-piece fully embraces rock and roll's hedonistic tendencies, and this night seemed like everyone was feeling a little unhinged. Then again, it was the Kenton Club. ZDV is touring in support of their self-titled debut-out now-which has been getting some serious spins here at TDoL HQ. The best thing about these rawk and rollers is that their music is difficult to pin. Their back-alley blues is prone [...]

This is Hot Tuna live at The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA, USA, on the 4th March 1988. Hot Tuna are an American blues-rock band formed originally by bassist Jack Casady and guitarist Jorma Kaukonen as a spin-off of Jefferson Airplane. They are renowned for playing acoustic and electric versions of original and traditional blues songs. There is a strong likelihood that this concert that bought Paul Kantner and Grace Slick back on the stage together helped the Jefferson Airplane reunion tour and record in 1989 to come about. Regarding this [...]

It's been just a little over eight months since I took my first trip ever to New Orleans for Jazz Fest 2011, and I'm definitely planning on making a return trek this year to see this year's festival as well. The lineup is too good (always), and the possibility of some late-night shows that you [...]
Tycho, who is out out of San Francisco, are currently on tour in promotion for the project Dive that you can purchase here . Scott Hansen put together this band Tycho and brought along another great electronica band, Beacon , who were a great surprise to see open up having never heard them before. The type of music Tycho is putting out there is completely directed at a niche market. It's people who may like the sound of electronic music, but don't want their face melted or their ears to bleed from overused [...]
Absolutely gorgeous work from San Francisco's artist Lawrence Yang . Take 5 minutes and visit Lawrence website cause is loaded with amazing stuff !!!! "Lawrence Yang wrestles with informational abstractions by day and paints by night. Influenced by graffiti art and traditional Chinese painting, he employs ink, marker, and watercolor, as the permanence of this media adds a sense of immediacy to his work. Lawrence's paintings make use of color to communicate atmosphere and emotion, and they are concerned primarily with creating order out of chaos (and vice versa)."
Yes, yet another great pre-Coachella show is coming but it's for you Bay Area readers! Mazzy Star will be headlining before performing at the festival when she plays at the Regency Ballroom on Wednesday, April 11. Mazzy Star has a...
[ via ] Kouta embarks his ethereal sound to even greater heights with this live loop he updated his soundcloud with the other day. So serene in its repetition and gently careful in its gliding tonality speaking through each strum and running back and forth like a slow-moed swing mosaic. Ever so healing in its rising escalation of layers. Let me speak no further. Have at it...
mp3: oOoOO - NoWayBack Mysterious producer oOoOO follows their sinister 2011 debut with the new ep Our Love Is Hurting Us . The new track "NoWayBack" features Butterclock on vocals and finds the project just as sinister and sensual as ever. The ep is set for release on TriAngle Records April 10. Lucky San Francisco dwellers can catch oOoOO live at The Rickshaw Stop with Grimes on February 22, but I would recommend you get there super early if you want to get in!
