Finding Yeezus
If you’re anything like me, it’s downright comical to listen to anything but Yeezus this week. Though just ten songs long, totaling about 40 minutes, the album has a high replay value, because, well, it’s incredible. But I’m not here to talk about that. There are numerous Yeezus think-pieces out there written… [Read More]
That’s It, You Don’t Have to Listen to New Music until the Fall
Because A-Trak and Armand Van Helden aka Duck Sauce just dropped another disco-infused cross-over banger to round out a crazy two weeks of music news. I, for one, cannot read another Yeezus think piece so go quit your job and listen to this dance-track from now until September.

Frances Ha, Queen of New York
These days I’m so eager to share information. It’s the information age, they say, so I guess that’s quite all right. While I watched Frances Ha, I couldn’t help but make a mental list of all the people in my life that I needed to share this film with. My… [Read More]
Capital Cities and the 2013 Summer Jam
We’re all really going to hate “Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities come August. The single from this LA-based duo is actually two years old, but you know how these things happen — the song is quickly gaining momentum and has become a staple on alt-rock radio stations across the… [Read More]
Surrendering to Spotify
Last Sunday I was in a good mood, a really good mood. A mood good enough to purchase something stupid. When the Urban Outfitters ‘sale’ section proved underwhelming I took out my CC and bought the next most illogical thing: Spotify Premium. I fought the free version of Spotify for… [Read More]
Rubbing SXSW Elbows with the Stars
Southby is all about the secret shows. While it’s cool to check out new bands and catch big performers at the biggest stages, everyone’s real goal is to somehow find the underground, cocaine-fueled after party filled with spec scripts and celebrities from the AMC channel. I unfortunately did not find… [Read More]
The Six Hottest Fake SXSW Startups
WHILE THERE ARE a ton of free SXSW parties, panels, and potential Twitter followers in Austin this week, you’re pretty much wasting your time if you aren’t pushing your new start-up. Sixth Street is a cesspool of early-adopters and venture capitalists ready with the Wells Fargo app running in the… [Read More]
And Make Sure to Follow Us on Twitter
There is a lot of yelling noises going on about Twitter hacking, but one question is yet to be answered: why the fuck are you following Burger King on Twitter in the first place? Are there a bunch of Junior Whopper deals I’m missing on the regular? Is “The King”… [Read More]
The Most Elusive Icelandic Indie Song on the Internet
Here’s the trailer for a 2010 film called “The Exploding Girl.” It looks like a good movie but I never saw it. I heard it was aight. Zoe Kazan is a fox, I think. Like any warm blooded internet user, I immediately searched for the song in the trailer. It’s… [Read More]
Why I Decided Not to Make a Harlem Shake Video
By: Aaron Weiss I had taken all the necessary steps. I had swung through my brothers apartment to get a motorcycle helmet to wear while I danced. I had the drive to go out and actually produce a video. I had a camera that wasn’t an iPhone. However, when Saturday… [Read More]
