- Absurdist Marketing ()
“The shadows guard against wordless posturing. Only when removed from the light can we begin to shed any semblance of who we were never meant to be. Toys ‘R’ Us: Where a kid can be a kid!” Seeing as though this is a thought that’s been building for over two years, there’s a bunch more […]

- Taking it Slow ()
“It was a big blessing in disguise.” Early in 2012, six songs that had been recorded for Penicillin Baby’s debut LP were mistakenly deleted. Someone got ahead of themselves at the studio and in an attempt to clear up some hard drive space, wiped the session without double-checking to make sure it’d been backed up. […]

- Day Old Bred ()
“Everyone’s in it to make music, not to make money.” There’s nothing new about musicians giving their work away for free, forfeiting track or album sales to encourage future gains. Free downloads hypothetically attract more fans to listen, encouraging increased attention and exposure, and potentially leading to performance income or merch sales. The formula isn’t […]

- Hataraqq feat. Schelli Tolliver “Slow Woks” Video ()
During my time spent in Kansas City this year I came across a local producer online, making synth-heavy beats under the Hataraqq alias. Primarily sharing short snippets, and stamping most songs with a unique Cab Calloway imprint, his music reflects a happy medium between Weeknd-leaning nonchalance and traditional hip hop. I really dig his style. “Slow Woks” (which […]
- Kacey Musgraves vs. “California Love” Mashup Video ()
Last week I was reading a GQ interview with Kacey Musgraves. In the discussion she mentioned that she has “California Love” on her phone — no shocker there, I remember seeing her rock a 2Pac t-shirt a few years back. What was surprising to me was her caveat that, “it’s not like I know a […]
- Star Wars “Sexy Ackbar” Mashup Video ()
“Make a song about Admiral Ackbar and puppies, win prizes.” So went the challenge on my friend Sean‘s blog (Buzzgrinder) a few years ago. Being neither a Star Wars fanboy or an animal owner (or a musician, for that matter), I had no idea where to begin, but figured what the hell and took on […]

Video of the Almighty Defenders (Mark Sultan with the Black Lips) performing at the Royal Canadian Legion as part of the Sled Island festival in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. [This post was first published by Culture Bully.]
- Deerhoof at Central United Church (Calgary, AB) ()
Prior to the show, I overheard someone in the church pew behind me ask “Those don’t look like standard Deerhoof guitars, do they?” While I’m not sure exactly what standard Deerhoof guitars are supposed to look like I doubt that they were disappointed as guitarists Ed Rodriguez and John Dieterich took to the stage, progressively […]

- Sonic Youth at First Avenue (Minneapolis, MN) ()
Stepping up to the mic a few songs into the performance, guitarist Lee Ranaldo briefly dropped a disclaimer that the band would be playing a lot of new songs; he was right. As the first chords of “No Way” began to reverberate throughout First Avenue, Sonic Youth immediately set a trend that would remain consistent […]
- Mayhem at Station 4 (St. Paul, MN) ()
Though Blackened Fest had already been off to a rocky start, a delay in the visa process prevented Marduk from joining the tour and the entire Boise date had been canceled, a most unfortunate notice greeted fans as they arrived at St. Paul’s Station 4. An initial glimpse at the notice suggested that three local […]
