Video: WHY? - Song Of The Sad Assassin

Why the fuck not? Beginning as a Hip-Hop and Indie-Rock lyricist, Jonathan "Yoni" Wolf has since gone on to attract others into his ever-revolving Indie-Electron ic-Hip-Hop-Folk-Rock orbit, including his brother Josiah Wolf on drums (who just released his debut album this week), Doug McDiarmid, and Matt Meldon. Signed to Anticon Records they've dropped five highly regarded albums to date, "Eskimo Snow" being the most recent from September 2009, but it was perhaps their fourth albums "Alopecia" that really got them noticed, appearing on a multitude of year-end lists and a couple of "best album of 20083 lists. I've [...]

Wednesday, July 15, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: Tonight I'll be attending the Most Interesting Academy (sponsored by Dos Equis) at Faulkenstein Castle. I honestly have no idea what to expect, but as long as I get plenty of free beverages I'll probably be pretty satisfied. Follow me, if you dare, on Twitter for updates throughout the event. Why? has been one of my favorite bands for a large number of years, so when they announced a new full length I immediately began [...]

Why? :: "Song of the Sad Assassin" We loves us some Why? here at the 'rocket, and "Song of the Sad Assassin," what with its clunky toy-piano riffs and lurching structure, is one of my favorite jams from Alopecia , one of my favorite records from this year. The video is as brain-melting as some of Yoni Wolf's abstract rhymes, but that's why we like it, innit? Band of Horses :: "No One's Gonna Love You" [...]

As I continue my attempt to make everyone realise that 'Why?' have to date produced the best album of 2008, I thought I would post their sublime live recording for dublab.com back on January 16th. If you've never heard anything of the band before, are yet to be convinced or if you're as in love with them as I am, then this download is a must!
