Department of Eagles is a project from Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rosten that sounds somewhat similar to the mroe well-known of the two projects, but overall a bit different. This song is darker and clean-er than what I expect from Grizzly Bear (over-driven guitars, less reverb) but still has a spaced-out feeling and those vocal harmonies/melodies [...]

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while - bike accident from about 9 months ago resulted in a plate in my arm:

What is it that pushes people to take exuberant amounts of time to remix Radiohead visually? No matter the answer, we - the digital consuming public - are better for these efforts. The bizarre explination available at CDM:

That was epic is a website full of snippets from YouTbue comments, taken out of context and let stand on their own. The results are about what you’d expect, meaning they are amazing (via BB):

I am still shocked at how much I like this album. More often than not (in fact, almost all the time) musicians become less and less interesting as they escape their youth.

I caught Pineapple Express last night and it was super rad. In the same echelon as Smiley Face - super funny, super smart/self-aware, stoner comedy (although with a lot more guns).

If this doesn’t excite you then there is something wrong with your ears. This beat is dope (that guitar sample is hot as hell) and the possibility of a Blueprint 3 produced by Kanye is one of the best pieces of news I’ve heard in weeks (via The FADER):

The blog has been dead as I just moved and have no internet. Songs have also been dead in the recording process as I don’t have nay means to record them. I’ve written 5 songs for an EP though and should have them recorded relatively soon. For now, enjoy this post from the KEXP blog [...]
