We know more than a few liked our trips in the way-back machine for our Throwback and Retrospective columns, but those were tough sledding and they often kept us from the right-now in music. Well, this on the fly Halloween feature is turning into a sort of retrospective, hope you enjoy. Now, don't run for the hills but remember The Love Below and "Hey Ya!!"? Tried to forget? Me too. "Hey Ya!!" and for that matter "The Way You Move's" unimpeachable ubiquity unfortunately pushed better cuts from their corresponding albums into the background, the singles sort of fried [...]
In the current inundated rap and hip-hop climate, it's becoming an increasingly problematic task to find dope music devoid of over-production and abusive pitch correction. We live in a time in which the scene has become over-saturated by cats whom don't quite understand that imitation is not necessarily the most sincere form of flattery. A rare commodity is that of the independent and original path-blazing artist. Enter Coachella Valley native and long-time DJ/beat innovator Rafael Lopez (a.k.a. Alf Alpha ). Having performed with countless notable artists such as Exile, Peanut Butter Wolf, DJ Day and Z-Trip (to name but a [...]

The other day I had a really emotionally heavy morning, followed by a long drive that called for something very specific musically. I'm never sure if I'm picking the right thing, but the two-album saga I ended up with, Scott 4 by Scott Walker and Blood Seed by Wolvserpent , in that order, set me right for the rest of a strange and beautiful San Francisco day that vacillated between pea soup fog and clear sunny skies. After the florid pastures of Scott Walker's mystic orchestral pop, things came to a sudden, stunning [...]

As promised, Designer Drugs released their new single, Through the Prism, today on ULTRA. To celebrate, Designer Drugs have released a brand new video directed and edited by Elle Rex, featuring Brooklyn based lyricist Cerebral Vortex. Sonically, the classic Designer Drugs horror-synths are still intact, however there is a rhythmic swagger that enslaves the beat, allowing for the noisy leads and warbling bass tones to create a pulse unique in itself. O S A K A
Mmmm...music festival brunch. The kids at Just Friends Records threw a snazzy little brunch at Gus' Pub on Saturday morning for all the hard working, bar hopping kids attending the Halifax Pop Explosion. Gus' Pub is kind of like the Legion. Cheap beer, old men and wooden furniture. I guess that it has also become a cool spot to hang out for the music loving university kids too, most likely for the cheap beer. Don't be fooled by the above picture of Laura Peek performing at the brunch. It may [...]
It would happen to me that right as I started talking about Lupe today, a new single by Lupe comes out. Sometimes I swear I'm psychic. Anyway, here's a new single by Lupe where he samples "Float On" by Modest Mouse. If you ask me, this is totally his record label, Atlantic Records , making him do this one. If you're unaware of the whole fiasco (no pun intended) between Lupe and Atlantic, I recommend clicking here to read the story. This song sounds like a desperate attempt to get on the radio, which always seems to [...]

All Time Low played Irving Plaza in New York City on Friday night. Our photographer Kevin Kerosene was there to grab some awesome shots of the band. Check them out inside:
This may be stating the obvious, but Chicago could have the best Hip-Hop scene in the country. If they're not #1, then definitely top three because their track record proves such. The list includes Common , Kanye , Twista , Cons , GLC , the L.E.P. Bogus Boys and bending the rules allows Freddie Gibbs to be included since Gary is essentially Chi-Town's next door neighbor. A name you may not recognize, however, is AmilCAR . I first met Amil about two and a [...]
Rihanna isn't just the spokeswoman for Doritos Late Night , she's also the face of Marie Claire UK 's final issue of 2010. The "Only Girl (In The World)" singer's spread features the songstress in pale pink, white and silver ensembles which perfectly compliment her fiery red locks. The Battleship star opened up about the metamorphosis she's undergone this year, and credits the making of Rated R for her maintained sanity. Flip through to peep the pics of Rihanna posing to perfection.
Ross Flournoy was bowed but not broken when his indie-pop band the Broken West disintegrated more than a year ago. "I had no idea what I was going to do," he said of his year of stewing, soul-searching and, eventually, songwriting. "Being on Merge , it's not like you break up your band and then you automatically get a new deal." He had sequestered himself and worked on a few new songs, "but I'd been in a bit of a funk," he says — until he read Carrie Brownstein's "Monitor Mix" column on NPR, in [...]
Our friends at Forest Family just announced the repress of their first release for Cults ' debut 73 "Go Outside" on black vinyl. They've got an extremely limited quantity and chances of another repress are pretty slim so if you didn't catch it on the first run this might be your last chance . [MP3] Cults - Go Outside Nate and Chris asked us to help spread the word, so we're giving away two copies of the 73. To be eligible, [...]

"Like the shotgun needs an outcome: I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some" I guess it's my lucky day. I mean, it's not every day that two of your favourite artists release new material right? It must be karma's way of rewarding me for being ill as hale for what seems like an eternity. Swedish indie pop singer Lykke Li is finally back with a new single titled 'Get Some' (plus B-side 'Paris Blue'), which marks a dramatic departure [...]
There has been so much new music today, and I know you little bitches get upset sometimes when I post too much in one day, but you know I couldn't leave out the love of my life, Lykke Li . She just released this single yesterday and now we've got the visuals. It's a cool video, but I'm kind of disappointed that Lykke herself isn't in it. You know, 'cause I like to look at her. Grab the MP3 of "Get Some" and the B-Side, "Paris Blue" here .
