No More Stories



Why do Mew have to be so weird? Is it because they're Scandinavian? I mean, nothing against Scandinavians - there are loads of cool ones (see: The Raveonettes, Ingmar Bergman), but Mew seem hell bent on taking typical song structure and melody and running them backwards through a meat grinder. That's probably the last time you'll see Mew and hell and a meat grinder mentioned in the same paragraph, despite them having been hand-picked by industrial legends Nine Inch Nails to open on select dates of the latter's farewell ...

HEALTH ‘Die Slow’ (Video)

The guys of HEALTH filmed the video for “Die Slow” off the new disc, Get Color, and the video merges the vibe of their live performances with a cult-like progression of dancers and human sacrifice. It’s a little gory, but with a title like “Die Slow,” did you think there wouldn’t be any blood? The quickened shot changes echoes the hypnotic pull of this song. AWESOME. Not ones to take what they do too seriously, the whole thing is a tv adverstisement, telling viewers that basically, they don’t need to be music afficionados or pretenious hipsters to partake, and all they have to do is call:1-999-GET COLOR. [Prefix]

Interview + Lykke Li (Video)

Lykke Li is not happy. Not in the sense that she is depressed, but in the sense that she is frustrated with her life presently. The 23-year old sweedish singer responsible for underground-gone-mainstream hits such as “Little Bit”, “Dance, Dance, Dance” and “Let It Fall”, has been touring for what seems like ages, and she is tired of it. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t still in good spirits. I meet her in one of the only shady areas of Grant Park (home of Lollapalooza) that day, the media tent. This has to be one of the hottest days of the year, but Lykke doesn’t seem to be phased at all. Looking quite fashionable and calm, she sits down in the lawn chair across from me. But the biggest suprise about Lykke Li is that she could care less about …

Agent of Change :: The New Boyz and Paper Route Gangstaz, a retropsect

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this Healthcare debate all month. Translation: I neglected the second in a three-part series of exclusive interviews with artists of tomorrow (b.k.a. the Agent of Change summer series). Last month I highlighted Detroit rhymesayer Finale. Luckily my URB colleagues have it covered. Below are two in-depth interviews with leaders of different, though equally innovative, movements. The first highlights The New Boyz: colorful, fun-loving maestros of the Jerkin’ revolution that’s sweeping the Southland. The second delves into the depths of the Dirty Dirty; Alabama’s Paper Route Gangstaz get gully and let loose. Both interviews were featured on URB.com earlier this month. Respect.
