Earcandy for your eyes Last weekend the second annual Ende Tymes Festival took place in Brooklyn and Queens. Below is a selection of genuinely challenging performances from Friday and Saturday night at Secret Project Robot. Sickness live at Ende Tymes...

First off, take note, Boston: The next edition of NEW MUSIC NIGHT , during which Jay Clicky Clicky and myself take to the River Gods DJ booth in Cambridge and play nothing but carefully-chosen new songs, takes place this coming Thursday, May 24th, 2012. Got it? Good. The last time our every-other-month event went down, I was sadly absent *. Yes, among the casualties of the soul-crushing sickness I came down with in mid-March was my planned appearance at that 5th edition of NMN, but before I succumbed, I was able to pull together a pretty spiffy setlist, if I do say ...

The only issue I have with Groovin' The Moo is having to get up real early on a Saturday morning to drive up the coast from Sydney. For the third year in a row I'm doing it hungover. One day I'll learn! After going through customs style interrogation getting in the gate, I took up prime position in front of the main stages to catch the end of San Cisco 's set. Their inoffensive, preppy pop tunes grew a large crowd who were ready to dance and sing along. Two piece Big Scary were up next with a ...

Canadian punk band Billy Talent announced that they will be releasing a new album this fall, as well as a new song at the end of this month! The band hasn’t put out a full length since 2009 (if you sit back and think about it, that’s actually a pretty fairly long time, which is weird), so it’s really exciting to see the band getting back into the swing of things again. The band took somewhat of a hiatus as their drummer was dealing with sickness, but from the video update below we learn that he is ...

Was Rihanna rushed to the hospital?! From the looks of her Twitter, the "Where Have You Been" singer had to get medical attention for exhaustion and was subsequently hooked up to an IV to get rehydrated.  PHOTOS: Rihanna Gets Sexy For Terry Richardson Yesterday we noticed Rihanna was a bit quiet on her Twitter page and not sending out her usual bad gal RiRi tweets that we have grown to love. So when a fan asked about her absence, the Bajan beauty sent out a picture of her arm hooked up to an IV!  STORY: Rihanna's Second Armani Collab ...

How can you consider yourself a celebrity if you've never had a photo shoot with the one and only Terry Richardson ?! Well,  Rihanna can finally check that one off the bucket list. DETAILS: Rihanna Hospitalized After SNL Sickness! Known for bringing out a side of his celebrity clients that the public doesn't normally see, Terry seemed to just bring out more of what we love about Rihanna : her sex appeal. In a pair of daisy dukes and a cut-off white tee, Rihanna sexed it up for Mr. Richardson, playing with her blonde hair and grabbing her famous derriere ...

There’s a captivating hypocrisy to the culture of youth that we can’t escape from, and often indulge in. We speak in extremes, of the best nights and the worst days; of great hopes and of bad dreams. We drink in excess, and love in fragments. We denounce ignorance, and devour kindness, like a sickness, like a [...]

Rachel Evans, a.k.a. Motion Sickness of Time Travel and co-owner of Hooker Vision, just finished her last semester of grad school, but that certainly hasn’t slowed down her release schedule (no surprise, given that she has over 20 releases under her name since 2008). In February, she released Patience Folding Waters (as Quiet Evenings, her duo with husband Grant Evans), and she has three releases as MSOTT in the coming weeks: The Blue Color Pales on Sacred Phrases, a self-titled 2LP on Editions Mego’s Spectrum Spools imprint (note to you: it’s fucking great ), and a ...

We’ve written a bit about Spectrum Spools in the past. As an imprint of the notoriously noisy Editions Mego, and as the figurative offspring fathered and still being dutifully breast-fed by curator and Emeralds member John Elliott, you wouldn’t be faulted for expecting the label to fit, at least on a superficial level, rather neatly into two, admittedly large categories — “electronic” and “experimental.” And so far, with releases by such artists as Motion Sickness of Time Travel, Hive Mind, and Drainolith, Spectrum Spools has mostly lived up to those expectations. But screw expectations. Elliott didn’t plant those ...
