What an incredible find we have here! First I would thank gnosismen Dave and Tom (yes, he from the sister blog cdrwl and under the radar cds) for alerting me to this unbelievably brilliant band, that has been performing now for some twenty + years, down to the present day! Next, amazingly, master musician Jorge Beltran himself from the band has given his approval to post it for us to enjoy, thanks to undertheradar cds for the connection. I am glad to be able to share this with you with his seal of approval, because I haven't stopped listening to ...

Whaddup guys? It's Vercetti. Lucas. Call me Luke if you guys want. Just wanted to say SUP and that I've been working on some music of my own. Don't get met wrong, I'm really appreciative for my job at the Odd Future retail outlet store. We're even thinking about opening a new store at the Outlet malls. You know, the ones 40 miles outside of town where fat old ladies go because they think they are getting deals by driving so far away, and they make a day out of it and have a nice ...

While some other sites are dropping it in the headline, we'll hold back a bit so at least that are some surprises left by time "Prometheus" hits theaters. So if you don't want to know, move along right now, because there will be spoilers from here on out. It was recently that Ridley Scott said, "I think you might not even argue it’s a prequel because it moves so far away from the original" but it looks like one face from "Alien" may be appearing in the highly anticipated not-quite-a-prequel. CraveOnline recently sat down with Lance Henriksen ...

" 'Prometheus' originated from a very simple question that haunted me after the first 'Alien,' and no one answered in subsequent 'Alien' films: who was the Space Jockey—the big guy in the seat? We didn’t know if it was going to be a sequel or a prequel. I think you might not even argue it’s a prequel because it moves so far away from the original," Ridley Scott recently wrote in Newsweek, adding another puzzle piece to the movie. And as the continuing promotional train for "Prometheus" keeps chugging along, we're seeing more and more of what ...

Streets of Beige and You’ll Soon Know will be coming together for a historic night at The Old Blue Last this Saturday with additional support from Paul White, Mo Kolours, Chesslo Junior, and Yukka. There is no cover at the door so you’d better be there. So Far Away by Paul White Banana Wine by Mo Kolours

I'm obsessed with year end lists.  It's always exciting to sit down at the end of the year and rank your favorite records, share with your friends/readers, and also see what others deemed the best of the year.  One problem always arises: give it a few months into the new year and three-four records for the past year will pop up and make you wish you had given them proper due.  I've decided to put an end to this "list regret" and will be doing an annual piece called "I've Made A Huge Mistake" where ...

Maureen “Moe” Tucker wasn’t the original drummer for The Velvet Undergound (that honor belonged to the late, great Angus MacLise ), but she quickly became a center of attention with her impressive percussive skills, her killer bob haircut, and her transfixing lead vocals on songs like “I’m Sticking with You” and the indispensable “After Hours” off 1969’s classic eponymous Velvet Underground LP. Tucker held her own following VU’s demise, recording and releasing several solo LPs and even bravely weathering the media shit storm that ensued in 2009 when she was “unmasked” at a Tea Party convention near ...

The organisers of the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival have hinted at a possible return. Speaking to Triple R presenter Rose Callaghan on tonight’s Max Headroom , festival founder Barry Hogan and his Australian wife Deborah Higgins said they’ve never ruled out another Australian event, despite a lacklustre response to ATP’s debut in 2009. The festival, a worldwide phenomenon, only took place once in Australia: at Mount Buller in Victoria, Cockatoo Island in NSW and at Brisbane’s Riverstage in 2009. Curated by Nick Cave, it featured performances by The Saints, The Laughing Clowns, The Dirty Three, Robert ...

Photo by Dirk Vandenberg Long ago in a world not so far away independent music was regularly printed on vinyl and promoted through passionate word-of-mouth, stapled-together fanzines and concerts set up on a previously unchartered national routing. In the early ‘80s that’s where the mi...

Earl Sweatshirt, OFWGKTA’s multi-syllabic mc, is notably absent from their UK tour. Does he even still exist? Who on earth has kept him under cover for so long? Is it his manager, his mom, the CIA? Has he been deprogrammed or reprogrammed? As with all myths, the truth and the facts somehow get distorted, exaggerated and re-configured. But, the reality is, twenty first century artist management hasn’t so much as gone full circle as done a figure of eight. Twenty three years ago, in East Oakland, California, one young mother had a belief that art and music could ...

Helluva lot happening in life right now. Moving places, checking in at LA's hipstertown soon, namely Silver Lake, and next weekend takes me to the quite amazing hills of Mammoth, going to snowboard my buttocks off! So a "moving houses" mixtape, a mixtape for the slopes and the mix for a trip. Juicy mix indeed, a lot of rather good music out there at the moment, hope I managed to condense the cream of the crop in here. For instance the new Daniel Rossen EP is gaining genuine affection on my behalf, nothing really fresh-new-under-the-sun kind of thing, simply ...

Every DJ has one. A night when everything that can possibly go wrong does - and it does so in spectacular fashion. ClashMusic brings you DJ Disasters, featuring some of the most respected figures in the dance world reminiscing about those moments when it all went badly wrong. This time round, we have a double header. Pipes - pictured - are fresh from releasing their new split effort 'Bromance #2' and the pair regale us with a walk down memory lane. Dan Curtin recently released his new EP 'Microdrama' through Bass Culture records, gaining huge praise in the process. With the summer now ...

Oh “Prometheus,” you’re so close, yet so far away! After the debut of the enigmatically beautiful new trailer that made its way online over the weekend, our excitement couldn’t be more fevered. Fox is looking to capitalize on the newfound buzz for director Ridley Scott’s “Alien” prequel/spinoff/whatever by kicking off its marketing blitz in a grand fashion, well ahead of the film’s June 8th release date. First, two new images have cropped up online, showcasing more of the impressive designs employed on Scott’s latest feature. The first image shows the Prometheus ship in ...
