I think this song is great, but what’s with the music video? I think music artists can let their artistic side get the best of them when it comes to creating videos to accompany songs. Then again, I don’t really appreciate music videos as most fans do. They just don’t appeal to me more than [...] Read More…

HEADNODIC – “Moving On Up” featuring LATYRX August 16, 2011
I used to love Latyrx. Consisting of emcees Lyrics Born and Lateef, Latyrx were at the top of a list of underground hip hop groups and artists that I loved back in the late 90′s. I thought they had more style than everyone else combined. Their distinctive voices and funky, percussive delivery matched poignant and, [...] Read More…

HOLY GHOST! – “Wait & See” May 4, 2011
This funky little jam is fantastically retro, undeniably catchy, and the video is awesome. Holy Ghost! uses their own fathers to play the band members, it’s pretty hilarious.

WASHED OUT – “Eyes Be Closed” May 4, 2011
Washed Out is one of the original chillwave artists. He’s only been around a couple of years but, then again, so has the genre. Filled with heavy, psychedelic effects and filtered vocals, the chillwave sound is a combination of new wave 80′s snythrock/electropop and lo-fi dance music. Personally, I hear a lot of hip hop [...] Read More…
