Earlier this week, British indie songstress Imogen Heap released a teaser video for her upcoming album Ellipse. In the trailer, she showcases what she has been up to musically in the last two years. It’s pretty evident that she has a wide variety of uncommon and unconventional insturments, half of which I don’t even know [...]

If there’s ever been two things that don’t belong together, it’s electronic oddball Dan Deacon and an NBC morning news/talk show. This awesome footage has just recently regained popularity. It features Dan Deacon performing “Ohio” (and doing his thing), while an entire news station collectively watches/listens in what we can only imagine to be a [...]

“He who fights with monsters  might take care lest he thereby become a monster … and if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
You may recognize these words from the great American novelist Mark Twain, or you may have just seen the quote scribbled on the opening frames of [...]

This week, I feel like showing some love to the up-and-coming rap genius Wiz Khalifa. Originally hailing from Pittsburgh, the 21-year old Wiz Khalifa has already shared the stage with the likes of Ghostface Killah, Styles P, Lupe Fiasco, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Cham, Little Brother, Clipse, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Lil Scrappy, Mario, T.I., Nas, and [...]

Just stumbled across the music video for Passion Pit’s hit song “The Reeling.” The effects in this video, not to mention the song itself, are completely dope. I love the vintage and gritty feel that the beginning of the video gives off. This is one of the most creative videos that I’ve seen in a [...]

This is one of the funnier things that I’ve seen lately. To kick off Memorial Day Weekend 2009, ABC’s Good Morning America booked Green Day to perform a few of their classic songs. For some reason or another, when Green Day started to play “Longview” the Good Morning America staff forgot to bleep out a [...]

Last night, the Beastie Boys made an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. At Jimmy’s request, they performed the classic jam “So What’cha Want” off of their 1992 album Check Your Head. What made this rendition unique was the fact that the song’s instrumentals were played live, rather than previously recorded like in most [...]

What’s up everyone. We’re going to keep it short and sweet for today’s mixtape. Kid CuDi’s stuff seems to be getting played on every radio station across the country right now. So, I figured that it would be appropriate to post up a few remixes of his biggest hit, “Day ‘N’ Nite.” On this particular [...]

These are probably some of the funniest, cutest, and most honest music reviews you’ll ever see. The people over at Scrapple.tv run a weekly web TV show called Breakfast at Sulimay’s. The show takes place inside a diner in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philly. Every week, Bill, Ann, and Joe listen to some current artists [...]

It was February 2007. Michael Angelakos, a student and singer/songwriter at Emerson College, was looking for that special gift to give to his then girlfriend for Valentine’s Day. What he came up with were six songs recorded under the alias Passion Pit. The songs failed to woo his lover, but spread like wildfire at Emerson [...]
