Ears Wide Open: International Tennis Champions
International Tennis Champions slipped me a cassette of their music after I happened upon their very first show last fall, which reminded me that my car has a cassette player, which reminded me of bygone days when I delivered newspapers out of my car in the wee hours and wore out tape after tape, which reminded me of the simple joys of pop hooks and well-executed harmonies. "Everybody Wins!," the debut from the songwriting duo of Daniel Luttrell and Lura Jones, plays to my nostalgia perfectly, rooted in '60s and '70s pop but with ample modern flourishes to time-stamp [...]
Major Lazer and La Roux Offer Up Free Mixtape
Dancehall wunderkind and vampire-zombie killer Major Lazer (a.k.a. Diplo and Switch ) has collaborated with Elly Jackson, singer for British synth-poppers La Roux , and Ben Langmaid, who produced the group's self-titled debut album, for a new mixtape on Diplo's Mad Decent label. Recorded in Jamaica, the mixtape, entitled Lazerproof , is available for free today on the Mad Decent website . (If one can get on the site—they are unsurprisingly experiencing a lot of traffic today.) In addition to Jackson's contributions, the "tape" includes guest spots from Drake , [...]
The Heads

SPOON Playing World's Largest Block Party
Being new to Chicago, I've never heard of the World's Largest Block Party , a two-day festival happening on Friday, July 9th and Saturday, July 10th at the Old St. Patrick's Church in the West Loop. So I'll have to take their word for it that it truly is the largest block party in the world. Or perhaps I'll just check it out for myself. While Friday night's lineup doesn't do anything for me ( Barenaked Ladies , Kris Allen , Angel Taylor ), it was just announced that Spoon will [...]

John Coltrane
A scension is the single recording that placed John Coltrane firmly into the avant-garde. Whereas, prior to 1965, Coltrane could be heard playing in an avant vein with stretched-out solos, atonality, and a seemingly free design to the beat, Ascension throws most rules right out the window with complete freedom from the groove and strikingly abrasive sheets of horn interplay. Recorded with three tenors (Trane, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp), two altos (Marion Brown, John Tchicai), two trumpet players (Freddie Hubbard, Dewey Johnson), two bassists (Art Davis, Jimmy Garrison), the lone McCoy Tyner on piano, and Elvin Jones on the drums, [...]
Hiya // Twin Shadow
Hiya Twin Shadow photo by Andrew Strasser Say hello to my new favourite of the week, Twin Shadow , aka George Lewis Jr, whom prior to this week, I hadn't caught on to. This Brooklynite de-camped hipster-town to the straßen of Berlin in search of inspiration, and found a 'cinematic experience' to break the damn on his creative flow. On his return to the USA, Lewis Jr churned out a bunch of songs, the cream of which are being released on Chris Taylor 's - [...]

Islands – Return to the Sea (CD)
I loved The Unicorns a great deal when I heard their "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone", and to hear that some of the members of that band are in the Islands, I began to get excited about "Return to the Sea". The album breaks away from the traditional pop act sound by [...]
Bardo Pond
L imited edition pressing of 1000 copies on vinyl heavy enough to hold some of Bardo Pond's headiest jams. This is the first of four vinyl only Bardo related releases coming out simultaneously on Important Records. Gazing at Shilla is Bardo Pond's first release on Important. The two pieces, both very different in sound and feel, have sat patiently in the Bardo archive waiting for the most opportune moment for release. Eight-Thousanders and Kali are both entirely improvised pieces with no overdubs. Slide blissfully into a smokey heaven and then forget your mind [...]
The Big Picture » Argentina's Bicentennial
Two hundred years ago, in Buenos Aires (then capital of a Spanish colony), a week-long series of revolutionary events took place, known as the Revolucion de Mayo, which set in motion events that led to Argentina's eventual declaration of independence from Spain in 1816. This week, millions of Argentinians, their neighbors and foreign dignitaries gathered in Buenos Aires to celebrate their bicentennial with lavish parades festivals and performances. Collected here are recent scenes from Argentina as its citizens commemorate 200 years of eventful history. ( 30 photos total ) [...]
Rahsaan Roland Kirk
A A totally cool album, and one of Roland's hardest to find! Kirk plays solo (mostly), and without the aid of overdubbing, to create these amazing soundscapes of multiple horns and circular breathing. The record has these fantastic throbbing pulsating reed lines, with one horn blowing rhythm, and one playing an adventurous solo -- and both being blown live a the same time! Tracks include "Black Root", "Raped Voices", "Day Dream", and "Something For Trane That Trane Could Have Said". From; JazzLoft [...]

Zenon Gradkowski
Z enon Gradkowski Work Statement. In the early formation of these paintings the primary interest was making semi-abstract figure paintings that were related to much body based work of the time. As the work progressed each form became minimal. Colour reduction and eventual multiplication, allow the paintings to achieve more in their own work and development. Theoretically there was a combination of text on abstraction and the body informing the work. As the work moved on from these sources and began to occupy a territory of it's own that is still being explored. [...]
STOP THE PRESS – KLAXONS ARE BACK!
The Klaxons have turned into one of those bands that people love to hate. Personally, I don't hate them - in fact I highly rate them - they made an amazing album back in 2007, no? Ironically, the reasons for them being hated is down to their extraordinary success. They spearheaded an entire fashion / cult movement - spawning the nu-rave obsession that swept over us in '07 and '08. I'm a strong believer that, had they not been the first ones there and thus caused the revolution, people would just see them as a great band - not as [...]

ONE FOR THE AGES: BAD RELIGION'S STRANGER THAN FICTION
1994 was a year of great musical discovery for me. Like most youth, my main sources for music were MTV and the radio, but with majors rolling in dough and taking chances that'd be deemed suicidal in today's record industry climate those media were actually pretty decent ways to find new music. Since my recently [...]
