Autolux – Transit Transit
6 YEARS!!!!!!! Thats how long it took Autolux’s sophomore album to come out. Who do these cats think they are the, Wu Tang Clan? Despite the incredible gap between albums Autolux has continued playing kickass live shows and are essentially a live band. Both Autolux albums translates an idea of what they sound like rather than an actual blueprint of their music. Transit Transit reflects this [...]

Ratatat-LP4
The 2 baddest white dudes from NYC are back on their aptly titled 4th album Lp4. Fans of smooth guitar work, frantic bhangra and conga’s, dope ass audio sound bites, and all things funky will dig this latest piece of work that Ratatat has laid out. Is it much different than the last album? Not really, it more of the same, the same awesomness that is. I use the [...]

New Music Review Bites- Karen Elson, LCD Soundsystem, Sleigh Bells, Lazerproof
Karen Elson- The Ghost Who Walks
There is something to be said with timing. This album came to me when I needed it the most. The Ghost Who Walks expressed what was going on inside myself internally and helped me work out what I needed to, and for the Karen I am indebted to you. With that said, this album [...]

The Black Keys- Brothers
There is a reason that this album is called brothers, cause each and every track sounds like a Motown revival mixed with that black keys style. Instead of sounding like recycled soul these dude pulled deep into their own American history and pulled out a phenomenal piece of work. The only thing I don’t like is that I didn’t get this slice of audio greatness on [...]

Question. What is better than Meatwad, Frylock and Master Shake singing renditions of your favorite Christmas jingles? Absolutely nothing. This album should be the definitive studio of X-Mass 2009.
Coming from a strait up heathen family ever since I can remember Christmas was a time where everyone else got to have fun spinning their dreidels or kissing your best friends wife under the mistletoe. This album encompasses that feeling of [...]

In a stroke of luck I somehow got 2 tickets one of the UK’s hottest imports, the ultra super cool Arctic Monkeys. How was the show? I am glad you asked.
They took the stage about 15 minutes late, and played from 945 to 11pm. I missed the opening act, oh well. Their set was SOLID. Doing a great mix of old and new, throwing it back with “Still Take You Home” and [...]

For those who do not know me, it is a well known fact that I am in the top 5 best white male dancers on the planet. That being said, I cannot stop listening to The Black Eyed Peas newest album The E.N.D. America’s trendiest hip-hop/dance pop group fucking killed this one. Front to back it is a straight dance party on disc. BEP is not known for their deep [...]
