DOWNLOAD THIS NOW: Cant, “Ghosts (Class Actress Remix)”
February 19, 2010
The Song In a Couple Sentences: Considering how precious and polite most Grizzly Bear songs are, it’s beyond refreshing to hear laser-like synth lines pelting the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Chris Taylor. Whether Class Actress‘ Cant remix will see a proper 12-inch release or not remains to be seen, but for now, we’re perfectly fine […]
NEEDLE EXCHANGE 006: An Exclusive Mix By … These Are Powers
February 19, 2010
When These Are Powers gave us a Missy Elliott guide last year, they were still shaking off the shackles of their self-proclaimed ‘ghost punk’ sound. Which was cool and all, but nothing like this–the absolutely killer underground club cuts of Candyman (RVNG), a heavyweight vinyl EP that lets These Are Powers loose in the outer […]
NE005: An Exclusive Mix By… Minimal Wave
February 18, 2010
While we’re certainly psyched to present the first proper (and free!) headlining show of Memory Tapes this Saturday at Tribeca Grand, self-titled is just as jazzed about the opening DJ set of Minimal Wave founder Veronica Vasicka. And not just because there’ll be free vodka from 10-11. The real draw will be Vasicka’s unparalleled collection […]
PRIMER: Blessure Grave’s ’13 Essential Gloom and Doom Albums’, From The Cure To Christian Death
February 18, 2010
Maybe it’s Hot Topic’s fault. No, that’s not it. How about our severely-fucked state of affairs, from the economy to the environment to the music industry itself? Come to think of it, that might explain why monochromatic shades of industrial, goth and dark-wave music continue to creep into the cool kid crowd, making them suddenly […]
THE S/T INTERVIEW: Hot Chip
February 18, 2010
[Photo by Travis Huggett] By Arye Dworken Hot Chip is ostensibly the electronic equivalent of The Revenge of the Nerds. Frontman Alexis Taylor, gawky and slight, sits across from us wearing over-sized spectacles, while his partner in harmony, Joe Goddard is zaftig and unkempt and shows off to us a newly purchased John Coltrane T-shirt. […]
DOWNLOAD THIS NOW: Suicide, “Dream Baby Dream (Live)”
February 17, 2010
The Song In a Couple Sentences: Drum machine-driven and a bit, well, dreamy, this scuzzy Suicide standard oozes with the effortless cool of Martin Rev and Alan Vega way back in 1978, when they were dodging insults from Cars fans. Which somehow makes the lines “it’s your dreams that make you free/you gotta make it […]
MICROWAVE ONLY: Photos of Justice & the Whole Ed Banger Crew, Plus Bonus Shots of Harlem…In Brooklyn!
February 16, 2010
Photos by Turkishomework Each week we send Turkishomework out to capture a sliver of our city’s blurred-vision nightlife. A serious case of cabin fever led her to two shows this past Friday: Harlem‘s support slot set for Frankie & the Outs at the Monster Island Basement in Brooklyn, and Ed Banger‘s 7th Anniversary after-party at Webster […]
NEEDLE EXCHANGE 004: An Exclusive Mix By … Ripley of Wooden Shjips & Moon Duo
February 16, 2010
[Mixtape Cover by Turkishomework] Nothing against Wooden Shjips or anything–we certainly dig their desert storm jams–but something about Ripley Johnson’s Moon Duo project hits us a bit harder in the blunt trauma department. Maybe it’s the simple fact that his setup is stripped down to its bare, chest-caving essentials alongside Moon Duo’s other half, Sanae […]
