HARD Presents Turkey Soup @ Terminal 5 (Live Review)

On a cold November night in New York City, promotional gurus HARD made sure to turn up the heat for its freezing attendees at Terminal 5 for a post-Thanksgiving party.  And with an impressive bill that would surely pack the venue, I made sure not to miss out on the action.

As my photographer and I entered the venue, the Alabamian rapper, Yelawolf took the stage.  Without any real knowledge of the rapper, other than that his album, Trunk Muzik 0-60’s recent release and his buzz (and the fact that Shaq is a fan), I was set on giving him a fair shot on making me a fan and he did not disappoint.  What was perhaps the most intriguing part of his performance was his ability to control and engage the audience without fillers from a hypeman.

Eskmo – Eskmo (Review)

Eskmo

Eskmo



San Francisco's Brendan Angelides has been recording under the name Eskmo for more than ten years, and after a couple of acclaimed singles for Warp and Planet Mu, he’s finally ready with a full album on Ninja Tune.

Music Video: Flying Lotus, “Kill Your Co-Workers” (Video)

On the last note, this video made its way around the net about two days ago, saw it but I’ve been sick lately and I forgot to post it.

If you can figure out animation stuff and what not you can also download the files and make your own thing. “Kill Your Co-Workers” is off of Flying Lotus’ 7-song Pattern+Grid World.

No Age – Everything in Between (Review)

No Age

Everything in Between

Released by Sub Pop Records


Schizophrenically experimental, noise, shoegaze, punk with some good old-fashioned rock n’ roll sprinkled throughout for good measure, forward-sounding Los Angeles natives No Age outperform themselves in their bright and stellar (in both the judgmental sense as well as stylistically in the sense of the intergalactic and interplanetary) third record Everything in Between (the first two were a compilation of collected singles on 2007’s Weirdo Rippers and their 2008 record, Nouns). A unique and energetic outfit, No Age sound like an upgraded, modified and well-kept out of date machine. With ...
