Lana Del Rey’s major label debut was a big hit but I didn’t get too into it. I will admit that Born To Die is a very interesting album and definitely worth a listen. Personally, I’m just not that crazy about Lana Del Rey’s sound. I am, however, crazy about this RAC remix of “Blue [...] Read More…
-Posted by Eric B- One of my favorite artists from 2009 dropped their sophomore release this week, Miike Snow “Happy to You”. Here’s 1 of my favorites from it, not as good as the 1st album but still a good listen. Happy To You (Universal, March 2012) Read More…
Remembrance of Things to Come, the new album from LA-based band Princeton will be released on February 21st. Princeton have perfected their style- a blend of indie-pop and classical minimalism- giving the album a mature, fluid feel. It’s a fantastic listen from beginning to end. Tour dates: Feb 22 – San Francisco, CA – Independent [...] Read More…
The official video for “Ni**as In Paris” was released yesterday and, as someone who has never been a huge fan of music videos, I have to admit that this is pretty incredible.

It’s musically ambitious but never indulgent. Ballads skew cinematically poignant and heartfelt before you could ever question your romantic [...] Read More…

Malibu grown and ready to put the bon in your bonfire, they have undeniable hooks and the starpower to go with it. Acoustic foundations are topped with ukulele janks and rounded out with mixed percussion [...] Read More…
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. If you like this track, you will no doubt love the rest of the self-titled debut album which was released last month via DFA. Don’t stop til you [...] Read More…

They just sold out their 3rd Annual Zombie Prom for the third year in a row and have been playing some great shows and [...] Read More…
This song is too catchy not to post. It’s a guilty pleasure… A seriously guilty pleasure. I’m just not really a big Brett Dennen fan but I hate to take anything away from him. He’s clearly a talented songwriter and he has had a couple of songs I’ve enjoyed. But there is something about him [...] Read More…
