January 2012 Bangers
I rocked the hell out of these jams in January. Stellar songs! A bunch of them I heard from other DJs on Turntable.FM and just fell in love with. Anyway, each song is in the youtube playlist I embedded above. Give a listen, and if you’re interested, I linked the artists’ facebook pages. Rock on!

MC Lars: The Indie Rap Economics of SOPA →
Economically, we are living in an era that takes us back to the punk and indie roots of the 70s and 80s. Musicians must be able to go out and perform for years in small clubs to tiny crowds; it’s the way one perfects his or her craft and pays his or her dues. It’s how bands like Black Flag and Minor Threat became legendary, they had explosive, powerful shows and were willing to...

I'd rather have a fight, than be alone tonight.
It’s “the year of the bandcamp release,” my buddy Ky from All Media Reviews recently proclaimed in one of his pieces. There is absolutely no disputing that. It’s relatively simple for any artist to upload their own music, spread the word about the page’s existence, and get a few downloads… heck, even purchases! The wise music aficionado knows that by...

WatchWooo! Only 6 more weeks of winter!
Did winter ever start this year? We had that big snow storm before Halloween that left me powerless for a week, but since then… I’ve been waiting to get snowed in! No such luck.
Either way, enjoy this throwback from Steve Burns. Better known as… uhm, the guy below.
I guess when he left Blues Clues he put out two albums, one in 2003 and one...

WatchSo last week I caught an episode of MTV’s “Made” show. I assumed it would be shit, as most MTV seems to be the past few years… but holy cow, this case MOVED me! I cried my eyes out! The episode dealt with bullying, and oddly enough, the main character’s high school is so big on metal music- they have an annual “battle of the bands” type thing. So in short,...

The Sound Archives/Archives/The Night are now:... →
This band has had a crazy story, I hashed as much of it as I know out in It’s A Small Scene After All.
Prior to determining that Douglas Robinson of The Sleeping would be filling in the role as vocalist in this musical ensemble, the instrumental trio posted up 4 demos.
Really looking forward to hearing Douglas’ spin on these killer tracks!

When people claim rappers such as Lil Wayne and Drake as ‘the greatest rappers alive’ I actually get hurt man. I cry internally for real living great emcees such as Nas, Rakim, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Q-Tip, MF Doom etc etc.. But it’s not them I feel for but those people…
