My favorite band at the moment. This video only reinforces the notion that No Age is going to change the world. These two guys from Los Angeles (Dean Spunt and Randy Randall) have made the loudest record of the year, but yet their sound remains elusive. Mind boggling.
More quality video here.

The new track off the forthcoming album You and Me (out September 16th) shows the band playing up their strengths. Much like “Wake Up,” an inspired track off of Everyone Who [...]

My main beef with Hip-Hop is its exclusivist nature (we get it…your shit is the real shit…no one cares). So I am always happy to share a rapper that exposes himself to different influences. Atmosphere has always been hit or miss for me, but this performance is worth checking out.
Atmosphere performs at Current Studios

Def Jux continues to be one of my favorite labels because they are always signing new and interesting acts with an emphasis on originality. Chin Chin is no exception.

Its been a good day. The sun is shining, its warm-ish outside and my Amanaz record came in the mail. I got a tip a while back from gorillavsbear on the reissuing of Amanaz’s 1973 LP Africa. I knew I had to get on that when I heard Khala my Friend, especially cause [...]

For most Americans (i.e. stupid people) Canada is sort of like mad-cow disease. Its something you hear about or make fun of every once and a while, but nothing that you really take seriously. Well, now that I am a resident of this fine country I am making it my business to show [...]
