I don’t know why I like this song. Maybe it feeds into my inner need to have haters. Everyone likes me to my knowledge. Or maybe I’m exactly the demographic for this song. People who are unapologetically themselves without thinking who they are annoying. I’d like to think I have the self awareness to know when I’m being an ass but based on my lack of knowledge of who hates me I’m probably wrong..
Unrequited love. We’ll all been there, am I right?
Though I’m currently in a mutually loving and respectful relationship, it wasn’t that long ago that I was crooning in a steamy shower over yet another fuckboy down the drain.
Harlem (by way of Little Rock, AR) artist Rent Money wrote, recorded this record while sleeping on the A train at night. What could be more perfect on a playlist that reps New York???!?!?!?!
Ayyuka is a band from Turkey that was found in 2001. The word “ayyuka” means, to rise and to be loud. Its members are Alican Tezer (drums), Altan Sebüktekin (bass) and Özgür Yılmaz (vocals/guitar). They played as an opening-act for Sonic Youth and Jonathan Rickman, as well as playing at festivals in Berlin, Paris, Lyon and Sao Paolo. Their first album was released in 2007…
A few weeks ago, right before Christmas, I received a text from my uncle telling me that the lead singer and songwriter of the Smithereens, Pat DiNizio, had died. He was only 62. I felt empty. I had just come to accept that Tom Petty was no longer with us. Now, all of a sudden, another hero of mine was gone. Such is life. Nobody lives forever. It’s just that the Smithereens have always been one of my favorite bands. And as you probably already guessed, they are also one of my uncle’s favorite bands. As a matter of fact, it was he who turned me onto them years ago in the late eighties – a day I remember very well….
Say what you will about Father John Misty, the dude is an incredible songwriter. Pure Comedy was one of the most hyped records of last year, but man did it deliver. Somehow he is able to talk about his cynical worldview into sarcastic hooks you can’t help but to laugh at…
TORRES is the stage name of US-American singer and songwriter Mackenzie Scott. And boy, like a bull charges at red cloth, Scott surely charges at gender stereotypes. She – amongst others like St. Vincent – belong to the female artists in 2017, who’ve released albums challenging rock stereotypes. Lyrically, musically, visually. Vulture published an excellent article on the matter, I highly recommend it.

Hey guys, I hope another week has found you in a harmonious place. I’ve come to a sudden realization – the world is constantly force feeding us negative events, commentary, war, destruction, racism, and sometimes even deception. We never focus on the positive – we are too busy fixating on the negative.

Hace mucho tiempo que ninguna banda toca este género, en la actualidad todo se está volviendo electrónico, sin embargo, Wolf Alice nos hace recordar sobre la energía e inspiración que puede transmitir una banda de Rock Alternativo, justo como era en los 90’s,…
Radiohead had a pretty good 2017 by any standards. They headlined Glastonbury and Coachella as part of a tour of the world (which begins again in South America this year) and they re-released their hugely successful album OK Computer to mark its 20th anniversary. But this song goes back even further, to their very first record, Pablo Honey.
We jellyfish change form a few times over the course of a lifetime. We call these phases in our life cycle. We are born as a planula or larva. We find a solid enough base and plant ourselves as a polyp. We eat and eat and form colonies of polyps until we are ready to float away as an ephyra. Finally we grow into an adult medusa — the jellyfish you know and love.
