Lost in a sea of camouflage and “COMME des FUCKDOWN” beanies, I searched for familiar faces on stage through the hazy remnants of grape Swishers.

Tycho
Memorial weekend at Sasquatch in George, Washington was memorable indeed with performances from the likes of Explosions in the Sky, Bon Iver, and Little Dragon.

Including tracks from The Morning Benders, Gnarls Barkley, Smashing Pumpkins, and Phoenix to name a few… this mix will be sure to put you asleep or keep you awake.
I figured MTV is already bombarding you with shit television and the occasional overplayed hit, so I’ve dug deep into Scandinavian territory to find something you’ve never heard before. This captivatingly eerie video by Danish electro-pop quartet, When Saints Go Machine, is a well-executed, dreamlike excursion. The result of synchronizing the lyrics of Parix with such eloquent scenes is...

As thoughtless demeaning lyrics flood the airwaves with overused voice overs and reverberations, it’s becoming more challenging to find quality hip-hop and rap artists.
However, I’ve found a dime, a hip-hop producer with real talent… and he comes in different forms. Daniel Dumile has created a collection of songs under various pseudonyms including MF Doom, King Geedorah, and Viktor Vaughn. He...
