Hip-Hop Round-Up vol. 1.5...er...2.0 (get it, I...
So the same friend that I had the back and forth with over hipsters in the hip-hop scene began lamenting the state of hip-hop in general. Not creative enough/ not enough storytelling/ no jokes anymore/etc.Sadly, I feel like her sentiment is becoming more and more widespread so I took it upon myself to do a little round up of the rap world according to pomo.
So here are the rapers that the...
Hip-Hop Round-Up
Me and a friend have been having a little hip-hop b-boy correspondence as of late, and I thought that since I haven’t posted much rap lately, I’d go ahead and check-in with the (mostly/somewhat) freshness.
It all started when I blasted my lil bro with this video from Kreayshawn from the white girl mob:
He snapped back with this adorable ditty from some boyz from my old hood,...

Top 10 Guitar Solos
That’s right, it’s time for some face melting guitar solos.
I’ve been playing guitar since I was about 10 years old. Shit. I should be A LOT better by now. If I spent half as much time playing as I did reading about FX pedals (Musician’s Friend catalogs to the ceiling) and my guitar god heroes, then maybe I would be. Well in this case my loss is your gain as I present my (provisional,...

In a vexing turn of events, Friendly Fires release their sophmore album, Pala, directly on the heals of their alliterative counterparts, Fleet Foxes…sheesh. At least their sounds are on different ends of the alternative music continuum.
Anyways, they were kind enough to offer the full album in streaming form, so enjoy the bass heavy (though not LFO wobbly) electro-rock jamz for what it is,...
OK, this is a pretty good mix y’all and...

“I was raised up believing I was somehow unique
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see
And now after some thinking, I’d say I’d rather be
A functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me”
Yep, they pretty much nailed it with that one.
If you haven’t heard the new fleet foxes record yet, well, here it...

Panda Bear - You Can Count On Me (The Get Remix) DL LINK IN DESC by The Get
Finally getting around to listening to Tomboy again for the first time since right after it came out. He really added a lot from most of the early release/leaked shit I heard. It’s a really magical album, and I highly suggest you all enjoy it soon. But as for right now, this remix of You Can Count on Me is...

African winds are blowing my way like Ninja’s junk is in my face. I’m nervously waiting to hear word about possible work in North or West Africa. I’ll let everyone know if something develops.
I was about to not write about Die Antwoord again, but then I thought to myself, “Y’know what, this is my blog, not anyone else’s so why not write about what I’m...
Hey, big times these days. Just thought I’d put a bow on the whole, “Should we celebrate Osama’s death” question with this article that posed that very question to a Harvard Philosophy professor.
Ok, and back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Who else is pissed that they can’t make it to the Animal Collective All Tomorrow’s Parties in the UK?

I was at the world trade center last night. This morning I woke up to read some European friends debating the merits and impact of the Bin Laden’s death and the US reaction to it, allow me to reproduce the conversation for you all below:
I’ve coded names to protect private views C1 is commentator 1, C2 is commentator 2, OP is original poster, and me is well…me
OP: a major...
Watchsome evil new shit from Salem. It seems that they’re making the transition back to a more screwed sound. Who in the world is rapping though? Jack? Kinda sounds like 3 six mafia if it was chopped and screwed. It could be a 3 6 verse, that’s the thing with Salem, I never know what’s real with them, their most popular song is a remix of Holy Night…
In other news,...
