In the first half of Sunday’s matchup between the Heat and Bulls, Dwyane Wade throws up the pass, LeBron catches the oop…and John Lucas becomes a very important footnote in [...]

"This album was a real reaction against technology in a sense. I was getting sick and tired of working with computers and synthesizers." - Geddy Lee, on Presto. Fans far and wide consider Presto to be the beginning of a new era for Rush , a transistioning back to the more natural songwriting of their earlier years, if not a full return to the same hard rocking sounds. No, what the band had experienced throughout the 80's would remain engraved in their creative spirit, a pop orientation that had gained them both a wider audience and a wider catalog of material ...

Yesterday, on his birthday, Curtiss King released a new song entitled, "Can I Vent (Pt. 2)" produced by Villain. This track is a follow up to his popular 2010 "Can I Vent" ventilation session. In this song we get a view into some of the many thoughts, frustrations, losses, & triumphant times he's endured the pass year.

I know, I know: another “Sweet” freestyle. But it’s Brother Ali, so it automatically gets the pass. Plus, he’s rapping about challenging folks to a sweet potato pie cook off… classic. It’s well known that I’m top 5 dead or alive in the kitchen. Squash the beef and get you a piece. Mourning in America and [...]

In time honored tradition, The Pass welcomed Louisville into the new year. Blasting through a slew of yet-to-be released songs in preparation for their new as-of-yet untitled album (which is currently being recorded), a few of the Pass hits we’ve come to know and love, as well as a few incredible covers. Big things are … Continue reading » Continue reading The Pass, Nerves Junior @ Butchertown Pub (NYE) – 12/31/11 at Backseat Sandbar .

Author:  Kat Perriam Category:  Fashion News Summary:  Tinie Tempah vows to put all his effort into pushing his clothing label for 2012. After a successful collaboration with his label Disturbing London and street wear brand MHI last year, the 'Pass Out' hit-maker Tinie Tempah has vowed to put all his effort into his clothing line in 2012. Tinie had been working hard on his label, but has vowed that he doesn't want his brand to be automatically associated with his own image as a rapper. Hoping to expand his empire so that he can also be labelled as a ...

After Monday's first instalment , a further 50 exceptional artists/releases to complete  LMYE's 2011 Festive 50 + 50. Not, of course, that our centurions' were the year's only worthwhile sounds - we're intensely conscious (particularly after relishing others' deeply-felt - & very different - lists, notably Anti-Gravity Bunny 's, Gacougnal 's, The Liminal 's (& its contributors'), The Milk Factory 's, Suborno 's,  Fluid Radio 's & 5:4 's) of how much more thrilling music 2011 had to offer & how partial even our expanded selection must inevitably be. Still, as with our earlier batch , each of these artists/releases resonated greatly with one or both of us over the year. Some will with you too, hopefully...

Je ne sais pas si c'est un effet connu ou si je suis juste bonne pour l'asile (ce qui expliquerait pas mal de choses), mais le simple fait de fixer intensément quoique ce soit le rend parfois effrayant, que ce soit une peinture ou une photo, ou même en me regardant dans les yeux dans le miroir (ça c'est plus compréhensible). Un morceau d'Ensemble Economique, c'est une phrase musicale, un rythme, une progression de cordes, qui fait boule de neige, prend de l'ampleur et devient lentement de plus en plus impressionnante avant de s ...

+ Looking to ring in the new year? Or bring in the new year? Which one is it? Who cares which one it is! You’ll be dancing around and having too much fun at this show to think of things like using words correctly and proper NYE slang. Auld Slang Syne I say!

Spin this song "Keep It Rollin'" by Y LUV, for fans of The Temper Trap, The Pass

Let us all rejoice at the release of a new record by Starving Weirdos member Brian Pyle as Ensemble Economique, who enthralled us all ‘round this time last year with the stunning bag of tricks that was Psychical on Not Not Fun. His new record, Crossing The Pass, By Torchlight , is a step away from the more overt 80s VHS soundtrack explorations of some previous work, but somehow by stitching guitar and keyboard lines to a jumble of synth drum kits, EE manages to scare up a host of evocative moments and cinematic flavors. This would work as the theme ...

Brian Pyle, better known as Ensemble Economique, is one busy guy. His new album Crossing The Pass, By Torchlight just came out on Dekorder, he has a wonderful new video for ‘Everything I Have, I Give to You’ (watch it here), plus there are already some new songs up on his Soundcloud. Last but not [...]

Over the past few years Brian Pyle's (Starving Weirdos) solo project has begun to blossom into a force of atmospheric synth propulsion. Evolving from early sound sketches into fully formed soundtracks filled with longing, paranoia and encroaching darkness; his songs have come to exemplify the current synth resurgence while also rising above it to achieve a larger vision. Crossing The Pass, By Torchlight is undoubtedly Pyle's most complex and complete album to date. It unfolds as a narrative landscape that's as dense as the most poured over musical scores and equally as emotionally complex. The swelling single ...

Check out the stunning new music video for “Thank You, Oaky,” off of Chicago-based Pillars and Tongues’ latest release, The Pass and Crossings.  Directed and produced by 19th State Productions, the video is as chilling and unnerving as the trio’s signature goth-folk chants, yet by its end it has us celebrating life, beauty, and nature.

‘To Feel the Night as it Really Is’ is a song from Ensemble Economique‘s upcoming full-length Crossing the Pass, By Torchlight, out November 29 on Dekorder. Kohnkepik made a great video for the song combining footage from two movies, “Passage” and “Satan Bouche Un Coin”. If you can see this, then you might need a [...]
