For all intents and purposes, one could easily take a look at Vinnie Ferra – Californian singer/songwriter residing in Los Angeles, rockin both the banjo and the semi-indie, semi-hipster look, perhaps a fan of Fleet Foxes and Edward Sharpe – and dismiss him at first glance as another nothing-special SoCal crooner. Don't be someone who makes this mistake. I had the unexpected pleasure of seeing Vinnie play on the final date of his band's residency at the Silver Lake Lounge Monday night. The first thing that hit me was the band's sound - these guys were [...]

(download on the player) I can't stop listening to this. This is what I want to see with house music in 2011... although this is an older track I think.

Noticed how FEF always finds those semi-erotic pics for their posts, well if I try the same I just end up in the bikini sites or pichunter. Which I'm not mad at tho. [...]

Trying to evaluate your favorite band's latest album is sort of like how I imagine self-performed open-heart surgery. And to boot, having that band be Brand New —a gang that earns as much sharp-tongued bullets as it does hugs and wet dream objectivity—it's like your words should be as ground-breaking as they come. They're the reason I literally wear a nickel around my neck (a nod to "The No Seatbelt Song," my dears).
