08.04: Dirty Projectors + Wye Oak – House Of Blues
Dirty Projectors and Wye Oak have spent the last few years making some of the most exciting music around, and very few bands treat their material with such brilliant care in a live setting.

PREMIERE: Two New Live Videos From Coyotes

Girl Talk: 01.10.2011
I was introduced to Girl Talk, né Gregg Gillis, back in the fall of 2006, when a young lady I met at a dinner party handed me burned CD-R containing Night Ripper, his breakthrough third album. “This CD will change your life,” she said as she dug one of the many copies of the album [...]
