I have more or less stopped posting links to leaked copies of full albums. I don’t know why I do this. I steal all the time and even get things stolen from me. It all kind of comes around and gos around. Maybe it’s just that anything that I’d post here could be easily found elsehwere - as in on a torrent site - so why should I even bother sticking my neck out there with leaked...

My bike saddle and seatpost were stolen yesterday. Bummer. Fortunately I’ve got a great circle of friends that send out funny videos like this one:
When I need new bike gear I have a number of places I look, all online. The first are bonktown (for road bike stuff) and then chainlove (for mountain bikes). Then I’ll go to craigslist, which is best for track/fixie parts and...

Neon Indian is that sickness. Toro Y Moi dropped the follow up, so did Washed Out. I call bullshit on folks who say that Within and Without is the first Washed Out album. Life of Leisure was short, short enough to be an EP, but this his new shit is so different on Within Without, it’s like listening to two different artists with the same singer. On his new stuff Ernest Greene kinda...
A first proper song of Neon Indian’s Era Extraña has been unveiled: Fallout.
mp3 Neon Indian - Fallout
M.I.A. released an unfinished demo 27, dedicated to all her friends that died at the age of 27. It’s a pre-VICKI LEEKX recording, yet very appropriate with the recent death of Amy Winehouse.
mp3 M.I.A. - 27
said your all mouth and no brains all rock stars go to heaven you said you’ll be dead at 27 seven when we drunk in a English tavern the owner poured you the Bourbon and you drunk...

Ok everybody I’ve just got to clear out some of these tabs that I’ve been accumulating in my browser by posting them here.
First, check out this video from this girl who made a song in Atlanta, my brother’s girlfriend is in the video, and she did a release party for it at The Graveyard, a popular joint in the East Atlanta Village. I think that’s kind of goofy though...

So Mad Decent announced their block party lineup for the South Street seaport on July 30. That looks to be an absolute beast of a day that I’m only too pleased to be in town for.
Panda Bear was also just back in town after his Music Hall of Williamsburg showearlier this month. This time to play his album opener, “You Can’t Count on Me,” for Jimmy Fallon:
Yeah,...

Hey, just a short little post to mention that I saw some great blues last night at Blind Willie’s in the Virginia Highlands neighborhood of Atlanta. The band was Burnt Bacon and featured the guitar work of Oliver Wood, one half of The Wood Brothers alongside his brother, Chris Wood, of Medeski, Martin, and Wood Fame. All four members are seasoned vets of the Atlanta blues scene, which is...

Last night a friend got some free tickets to see Cass McCombs play at the Drunken Unicorn here in Atlanta, where I’m back visiting this week. It was easily the 20th time that I’d visited The Unicorn, it used to be THE place for indie and underground acts of all stripes to play before they hit it big, and where some larger acts could play an intimate show. Over the years I’ve...

Super long time coming here, and I’ll admit...
I do distro for showpaper.
It’s cool, I do it to find a scene to be a part of. I also want to start a band. I hope to meet people through the showpaper scene to play music with. I played with a couple of kids when I moved to new york and it was not the best, they played...
Stream Pure X - Pleasure
From Brooklyn Vegan:
Pure X, who play with Fungi Girls on Saturday, are also from Austin and maybe you knew them as Pure Ecstasy which they used to be called. (A San Francisco cover band laid claim to the name.) Now Pure X, the band just released their debut LP, Pleasure, this week. Recorded live with no overdubs, Pleasure is lovely and languid, not unlike the first Cowboy Junkies album or...

Here’s some footage from the Panda Bear show that I went to on 7/3. Some clarity as to who Panda Bear’s BFF on stage is as well - it’s none other than Sonic Boom of the legendary Spacemen 3 outfit!

Today is one of those black coffee and blog before breakfast days. Nothing wrong with that, just means that I’m on schedule. Unfortunately I didn’t wake up with a song stuck in my head, actually I had a vivid early morning dream about strawberry vanilla ice cream sundays of all things, so I took the time to check out the world of music journalism and skim off the cream to get my...

The dog days of summer are nigh. I ccame home last night around 10PM and the local neon display on Bowery St. mercilessly ticked up to 87’F from 86 right before my eyes. This heat has been causing people to get out of their apartments and take it to the streets. Evidence of fried brains abound: this woman was caught taking a bath on the subway, too many people are getting...

Hey all. Thanks for bearing through a few salad days while I got my house in order, but now I’m Wale-ing it on my no days off and shit.
Hipster Runoff cracked me up this morning with this video from Horrorcore rap group, Corpse Circus that samples “Fright Night” by Ariel Pink:
I’ll be honest, I think this is pretty cool, they got me.
A recent road trip also turned...
