To get a sense of Shannon Harris¹s imaginative new album, you might look no further than its name: Audio Urbanology: The Art of Audio Truism, although, actually, I don¹t think he really means truism (loosely defined as […]

It’s TV on the Radio producer and musician David Sitek’s solo project Maximum Balloon and I’m listening to the most recently released track, “Groove Me” on a loop. What a way to live.

So I’m trying to figure out which album to review. I have a couple choices, so I listen to the first one on the list, “Future Breeds” by Hot Hot Heat. And I like it. The energy of it. I think, yeah, this. But then, a few songs in, I’m gone. I’m at once […]

Percussive synth pop brit band returns with “Kiss Of Life”. Perhaps this time around the band will gain the traction they deserve. Hopefully this video is not an indication that they are being lead down the Paul Simon “world music” path.

Neil seems to have included most everything a skinny panted hipster in Echo park would need to pay tribute to the original skinny panted hipters ( except the band itself ). This event does promise to be cool and there is free pizza ( so one has to assume that the beer can’t be far […]
