Interview + Friendly Fires (Video)

Friendly Fires have been making music since they were teenagers. Ed, Edd and Eddy- just kidding, the third member’s name is Jack- met in high school and formed a post-hardcore band called First Day Back. However, they evolved into a pop band shortly after leaving University and began to take inspiration in their music from Kompakt, Carl Craig and Prince, leaving their hard-rock beginnings behind. Always having been listeners of all genres, the Fires understand and appreciate music to the fullest, so it was only natural for a conversation to go on a tangent about pop music before they were swiftly scooped up by their publicist for another interview.

Have you guys been here in Chicago before?

FF:We have been to Chicago. We played at the Double Door-Well done Double Door, and especially well-done Earwax …

C is for Children

A Jr. High school acquaintance sent me this video (below) today. She, along with some other concerned parents, put it together as part of a grassroots effort to get Barack Obama elected. I watch it and remember how much it’s so about the kids, even as cliche as that sounds. Parents on both sides of the aisle want what’s best for their arriving generation. A father stood up at a John McCain rally yesterday and told the candidate he was scared of raising his soon-to-be-born child under an Obama administration. McCain, in a rare maverick-y departure from the recent ugliness of his campaign, told the man he had nothing to fear from a president Obama. That McCain supporter’s newborn may not be …

The Virgin Fest Deflowers Baltimore



DAY ONE
For the third straight year, Richard Branson and his “Tubular Bells”-fueled brand name, Virgin, brought the American version of the longstanding British V Fest stateside, tearing things up at Pimlico Race Track in Baltimore. Traveling three hours by car from Northeast Pennsylvania proved to be a test in patience as I sat in an hour-plus pile-up outside the capital of Harrisburg, but the thunderous beats of Erol Alkan welcomed me (albeit a little late) as I found a parking spot, helping to ease the tension. By the time I was able to check-in and receive my credentials, the amazing partnership of Donald Glaude and DJ Dan was …
