Listen Up: Passion Pit’s “Carried Away”
Catchy song. Clever video. Cool style. (I especially love Sophia Bush’s charming 60s dresses!) All in an homage to intense, chaotic relationships.
Tomorrow: Summer Kick-Off Party at Down and Out
Put on your banana hammock and apply your SPF liberally: Summer’s officially here! And there’s no better way to celebrate (or mourn–if you’re a Debbie Downer) than to get your indie on at Down & Out. Catch four LA artists/bands, including Johanna Chase, The Never Never, Peachy Keene and Lovers Drugs for nothing more than the lint in your pocket. I’m DJ-ing […]
Hipsters, Are You Ready?
Here it is–a “leak” of the 2013 Coachella line-up, according to Funny or Die. (Personally, I think 138 miles is bit of a haul for Regrettable Decisions.)
Listen Up: Jucifer’s “The Lambs, Pt. 1”

It’s all I hear in my head’–because this song haunts you long after your first listen. Find it and other heady melodies on their full-length self-titled debut, which […]
Listen Up: Prinzhorn Dance School
This beguiling, evocative song is from Prinzhorn Dance School‘s five-song EP, available at iTunes on April 10, 2012. Listen to it once, and it’ll get stuck in your head. In a good way.
Listen Up: Les Savy Fav
From Tim Harrington’s sandpaper voice and spandex-clad stage-humping to songs that reach out and clench you in the balls, (well, not my balls, because I don’t have them) Les Savy Fav just does it for me. Sometimes, they’re cynical [‘these kids will kill you just because they can; their teeth are bleached and their tits […]
