Most of you will recognize this song as the sample for Tribe Called Quest’s Can I Kick It. While I think the Tribe song is amazing, it’s pale in comparison to the original. Take A Walk On The Wild Side was the surprise hit single from Lou Reed’s solo debut Transformer, and was produced by [...]

Ben, an old Skidmore friend of mine reminded me of this party starting Knightlife remix, and what a better song to start off the weekend. Knightlife is part of the Aussie disco/tropical pop/indie/electronic scene, and if you saw Cut Copy perform last year chances are you saw his very impressive set. Apparently, this remix got [...]

Yeah, I’m losing my edge. I’m losing my edge. The kids are coming up from behind. I’m losing my edge. I’m losing my edge to the kids from France and from London. But I was there… LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge I was there in 1968. I was there at the first Can show in Cologne. I’m losing my edge. I’m losing my edge [...]

The pop/punk blend is a feeling I really can never get enough of, at least when it’s done right. Pete & The Pirates are a band from Reading, England, they formed in 2005 and have since released two official EPs. Their sound is a mix of 80s post punk and 90’s American indie rock, fresh. [...]

I started binging on Youth Novels again and with that comes all the amazing remixes the album has inspired. Perhaps the most remixed track from the album is Little Bit, I can think of about 8 off the top. From what I gather this song is about a “friends with benefits” type of relationship that [...]

So I finally heard Manners in its entirety and I have to say, it’s good but I’m not blown away. It’s not that the songs are bad, it’s that The Reeling and Little Secret are that good. Though not very experimental or challenging, producer Chris Zane did a pretty good job helping the band develop [...]

This song will be at the top of all ‘09 list, it’s def # 1 on mine. A lot of you habitual pretenders could learn a lot from Natasha’s style. Anyways, I’ve hyped it up enough already so I’ll just post the video. If your in France this month keep an eye out, she’s doing [...]

I posted this a few months back but it’s too good, had to post again. Hamilton Leithauser is the lead singer of The Walkmen, he has an awesome voice, something like an improved Bob Dylan.
