Imagine a world beyond its own way of thinking, and imagine a world cushioned by the ignorance of a few and the populous of the many … Now imagine Bo Cendars coming along and waking everybody up with a 5000 … Continue reading →

A few notes on Wallingford, Connecticut. Roughly 43,000 people live there, making it Connecticut’s 23rd most populous community. Both Morton Downey and his namesake, Morton Downey, Jr were Wallingfordians. That really great movie Riding In Cars With Boys partly takes place in Wallingford. And that was pretty much all I could find. Well, that and [...]

Ethnic electronica is a ripe musical fruit, but one that is rarely harvested and even more scarcely consumed by the populous. It’s sad because it works so well, the fusion of electronica and world music have a long and rich history but it’s a tradition that is often overlooked within bass-focused culture.

The most populous band I can think of is the Polyphonic Spree who had a good few hundred people in t

LIFE & LIMB is the new project of Andrea Mangia (aka Populous) and NY-based Mike McGuire (aka Short Stories). Taking their name from a Fugazi track, their music is instead focused on chillwave and glo-fi sounds. They recently remixed His Clancyness and are now working on their debut LP.  Berlin-Munich based trio Saroos is comprised of a diverse lineup of talented individuals from different [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Video , Awards AP Photo, Mark J. Terrill The moment Wisconsin rockers Bon Iver won Best New Artist at the 2012 Grammy Awards, the general populous of Twitter engaged in a series of misguided rants, directed at one Bonny Bear. This hilarious case of mistaken identity has poured into the morning after, with many people still scratching their keyboards, wondering who the mysterious musical entity may be. Whattt ?! Wtf is a bonny bear ? -_- - Flo(@Hold_THATx3) February 13, 2012

A very weird, touching, and intimate piece from the people at Paste … While the lifestyle of a musician often gets glorified as a occupation filled with the excesses of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, more often than not musicians encounter the same problems as everyone else. This includes their health, both in an everyday sense as well as long-term illnesses. While addiction, depression and overdoses usually take the headlines with rockers, more common are tinnitus, diabetes, eating disorders and other chronic illnesses that affect the general populous… @1000TimesYes : I just had a publicist confirm re, that Paste list: “that ...

Some rather distressing news coming from Republic of Indonesia today. The country - which is also the world's most populous Muslim majority nation - arrested 64 music fans at a charity concert in Banda Aceh's Taman Budaya park on Saturday night. Though they are not (and cannot) actually be charged with any crime, the regular and Shari'ah police are planning to do some rather barbaric things to the kids. Aceh police chief Inspector. General Iskandar Hasan said this: There will be a traditional ceremony. First their hair will be cut. Then they will be tossed into a pool. The ...

Warning to all!  This is a long post.  I know a lot of you don't like the long reads so I apologize in advance. Regardless, I'd like to finish up the week by turning back the clock to 1981, a time when music was experiencing a unique and dramatic cultural shift.  The movement I'm talking about is punk; an incredibly fascinating and important era in music's timeline, and one that is usually associated with mohawks, leather jackets, and violence.  Although this is partially true, it's important to keep in mind that punk was, in every ...

I think it is fair to say, with all honesty and sincerity, that there has existed perhaps only one music group that retains resonance with almost every person on our populous planet; one group so undeniably, timelessly lovable, whose members, living and passed, are now rightfully considered legends...

We gave the original version of this tune by German trio Saroos (composed of members of Lali Puna and The Notwist) a "First Listen" a while back, and posted a more dance-oriented refix by producer/remixer Populous earlier this year. read more

Oneohtrix Point Never Replica [Software; 2011] by Reed Scott Reid Rating: “Gropius wrote a book on grain silos, Le Corbusier one on aeroplanes, and Charlotte Perriand brought a new object to the office every morning; but today we collect ads.” 1 Partly in delight (partly in desperation), students of pop culture take their cues from throwaway models. Often beautiful — occasionally jarring — frequently uncanny, the 10 tracks here comprise a series of aural- cognitive maps in which predominantly-archival information is sourced, ciphered, and recalled in a series of non-hierarchical transformations and juxtapositions. If last year’s Returnal was Daniel Lopatin’s ...

Iceland is a wondrous country, known for dark, blustery, cryptic themes which apply to most every facet — music, culture, scenery, etc. With the robust cornucopia of natural beauty and phenomena, you’d think that the populous would stretch from east to west, but no — just over 300,000 people inhabit the entire island. A natural correlation with the art and county would be that a rugged, innately more solitary nature of life inspires artists with ...

Since her debut LP release in 2009, Zola Jesus has been carving herself a niche in the electro-indie populous. Mixing an often bass-heavy electro-synth beat with soaring operatic vocals, Zola Jesus (aka Nikita Danilova) manages to stun and entrance you with her mesmerising vocal range. Having received opera training from the age of 7, Zola Jesus’ voice soars and can reach levels that teenage X-Factor wannabes can only dream of. Her latest release, ‘Conatus’, starts...
