It was 64 degrees yesterday and the one thing I want to do when it’s that nice in the city is make my way to the nearest coastal town and get the f&*k out of the city. Unfortunately it’s birthday season so I can’t escape to the usual getaways just yet but what I can [...]

I was out doing my usual record shopping and ran into the limited edition box set of Florence and the Machine’s critically acclaimed album Lungs. I thought thought to myself, I already have this so I don’t need this but then I saw a song on the 3rd disc that I didn’t recognize, the song [...]

Mowgli’s Road is the blue vs. the red pill in song form. The entire song is Marina’s internal battle between choosing the numbing and seductive path society advertises or the more challenging and rebellious pursuit of her own dreams. I’ve always had a gut feeling that there is something terribly wrong with the current paradigms [...]

This 80’s sounding Arcade Fire track is by far my favorite from Neon Bible. I’ve never been able to fully understand what it’s about, some people say it has religious connotations and I agree but I also think there’s a little more to it. I gather this song is about having total control over your [...]

One of the few bands that caught my eye last CMJ was the Portland duo Baby Monster. Their songs were incredibly catchy, the melodies and arrangement were simple yet dynamic, and the lyrics are feel good inc so I made a skull note to stay on the lookout for anything fresh. Well last month a [...]

G.O.V. has a controversial taboo-shattering song called Seventeen in which he talks about a riskay relationship he had with a young lolita and the awkwardness it caused in his life. He recently performed that song at a showcase all I could do is laugh to myself when I saw the shock in peoples faces when he [...]

One of the fathers of the dark cinematic electro movement is back with a new single and an all-star cast to back it up. Mixed by SebastiaN, produced by Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and featuring CSS’s Lovefoxx, the start-studded collaboration isn’t your typical high energy motion picture Kavinsky but it’s nice to have the Frenchie [...]

The new division of EMPT is almost ready for an official launch and it’s been consuming my life so I apologize to all for missing some post the last couple of days. I can’t get into any details at the moment due to non disclosure agreements but it has to do with music and bringing [...]

I was working on mix and I came across this oldie but goodie which reminded me just how good Peter Bjorn and John’s third LP is. Writer’s Block was released in 2006 but sound like it could be coming out next year. The sound is timeless, the songs are real and the production is first-class. Lyrically, the album [...]

While Rhymefest was working on The Manual Mixtape with my dude Scram Jones last year, I got to spend some time around him and get to know him a little bit. Good guy, deep thinker, talented lyricist. His co-writing role for “Jesus Walks” earned him a Grammy in 2004, and may have contributed to him getting Kanye [...]
