Weezer went out on their own cruise towards the end of 2011. Check out what Pat Wilson had to say in full here  here  or read a snippet below by clicking “Read More.” You went out on a Caribbean cruise with Weezer and a lot of other bands not long ago. How was that experience? It was pretty magical. I’ve never been on a big boat like that. It was surreal. We’re playing, it’s like eight o’clock at night, the sun’s going down, the boat’s leaving Miami, we’re playing on the deck of ...

(Image via bigcastro.com) I was I was cool as Kitty Pryde when I was in high school. Oh wait, I’m 24 and I’m still not as cool as she is. A few months ago, Kitty Pryde (aka Kitty Beckwith) was just another high school girl from suburban Daytona Beach, Florida. She got pissed at an ex-boyfriend, recorded a rap song and posted it on Tumblr. She caught the attention of Beautiful Lou (a producer who has worked with ASAP Rocky and Lil B) who supplied her single, “Okay Cupid,” with a hazy, drugged-out beat. The rapper, who ...

This one’s for my ladies. Kitty Pride is a 17-years old femceee from Daytona Beach, Florida and while her vocals are reminiscent of coke-head Ke$ha, this fresh-faced ginger tells a story that every girl post-puberty can relate to. posted by @clarkbs

17 year-old Daytona Beach femceee Kitty Pride was unanimously anointed ‘next up’ just yesterday by our esteemed colleagues of digital tastemakers. In her new video for “Okay Cupid,” which premiered on FADER, she professes her unrequited love to Danny Brown and longingly karaoke’s Frank Ocean’s “Thinking About You” over Beautiful Lou’s ethereal production (think A$AP [...] Kitty Pryde – Okay Cupid (Video) |

Kitty Pryde seems like she’s made out of internet. The young (best guess is mid-to-late teens so when I say young I mean very young) Daytona Beach rapper is making music compiled of influences that exist entirely online, and spitting it back in a never-ending collage of nerdy, trendy and cute. In this video alone [...]

One month after Daytona Beach teen Kitty Pryde released her Beautiful Lou-produced song “Okay Cupid” on her Bandcamp, inaugurating a run of fawning interviews with Portals, Mishka and Vice, she retweeted maybe the aptest description … read more »

Young producer Thelonious Martin has managed to put up an absurdly impressive resume with the quickness- there’s not a ton of 19-year-old kids with this kind of pedigree, having worked with Hodgy Beats, Action Bronson, Kid Daytona and a slew…

The entire song is called “Bars & Hooks (Keep It Moving [K.I.M.]).” Harry Fraud on the beat, and a bunch of talented emcees on the raps make for one good combination. PREVIOUS: Awkword – Rainy Daze f. Main Flow, Rickie Jacobs & Mojo

Finally...some grimy, boom bap, bully foot East Coast shit. This goes super hard.

Bestival (6th to 9th September 2012) has announced that the following acts will complete their line-up this year: Jessie Ware / Skepta / Willis Earl Beal / Murkage / Jake Bugg / The Staves / Sunless 97 / The Other Tribe / Parma Violets / Gorgeous George / Crowns / Subgiant / Daytona Lights / Charley Macaulay / Alonestar / A Way Of Life / This Way Up. The join the likes of Gary Newman, Hot Chip, Alabama Shakes, Two Door Cinema Club, The xx, New Order, Friendly Fires and R&B; legend Stevie Wonder. Rob Da Bank’s festival baby seems to be a certain hot event this festival season. Oh. Also Mr motivator will be ...

Hot Chip are amongst the latest additions to the line up of this summer's Bestival. With Glastonbury taking a year off, the British festival season is left without its usual pivot point. The biggest event on the calendar, the absence of live music at Worthy farm this summer has opened up room for expansion elsewhere. With a similar idiosyncratic streak, many are tipping Bestival to occupy that position this summer. The Isle of Wight event is continuing to expand, with Hot Chip heading the latest list of additions from Rob da Bank & Co. The electro-pop outfit recently outlined plans ...
