If you're like us, this was the weekend your family asked you "who is this Bon Iver guy?" after Justin Vernon's band made their Saturday Night Live debut. Considering Bon Iver is up for four Grammys, that question will get asked by baby boomers across the country next week. [Screenshot via CoS ] The group will hit the road with All Tiny Creatures this April for a series of West Coast dates surrounding their Coachella appearance and culminating with a slot at Jazz Fest. Here's the full [...]

Tv On The Radio didn't take too long to follow up 20092s brilliant 'Dear Science,' and as usual didn't disappoint. This time the Brooklyn outfit set up camp on the West Coast and the sunnier climate appears to have seeped through to these tracks. With another mild change of direction the tracks on 'Nine Types Of Light' [...]
ScHoolboy Q - Habits & Contradictions TDE: 2012 TDE is lighting a creative fire under the ass of the west coast that's equal parts Snoop / DPG swagger, the lyrical camaraderie of Souls of Mischief, and the street-weirdo appeal of the Wu. With ScHoolboy Q's sophomore effort Habits & Contradictions, the appeal of the crew's sound and identity is only further solidified. The beauty of their sound is that it moves comfortably through grainy boom-bap, high-octane club music, and emotive druggy textures as if they were always suppose to [...]
The west coast brings us The New Limb of Silver Lake, CA. Their super easy listening song "Refugees" charmed us with use of both male and female vocals, crisp piano, layers of strings, and harmonies that come together just wonderfully. Adorable throughout, with a climactic ending and apparently Sameer of Young The Giant thinks they're the shit…not a bad start at all.

My first look interview with Alexander Spit started out with us discussing the weather in our respective cities. Alex was in LA chillin' in some shorts and a bucket hat. I on the other hand, was wearing a lumberjack hat and a hoody in my basement. The warm weather is something that Spit is well aquainted with. He grew up in the Bay-Area but relocated to Los Angeles only a few years ago to push his career with music further. While Alexander Spit may not be the name that comes to mind when you hear "West Coast Hip Hop", he might be [...]

give me my flowers while i can smell them by exile & blu A new collaborative album from West Coast MC Blu and producer Exile. It's not mixed or mastered, but there are some interesting samples and verses pulled together by these two. Blu's verses about the world at large on "more out of life." are pretty thought-provoking, and the Tom Waits sample on "seasons." seems like it shouldn't work, but it does. Enjoy, and grab a digital copy on Bandcamp .
