Weekend Anthem: Say It Again Spring!

March 20, 2010

Sunday marks the official beginning of spring, and with it come numerous opportunities. It is finally time to let go of all of the winter baggage, to completely rejuvenate yourself and perhaps even upgrade some things here and there.

Melissa Auf der Maur breaks down the complicated concept of her concept album

March 20, 2010

We’ve been hella excited for Melissa Auf der Maur‘s sophomore solo album, but also a little nervous. More than just an album, this is Auf der Maur’s “multimedia project,” with a concept that extends to a short film and a comic book. Honestly, we had no idea what it was about until our friends at [...]

Hot Chip destroy a boy band, themselves

March 18, 2010

Meet Kyng, Mar’vaine, Octavian, and Popeye. They are the boy band standing in for Hot Chip in the clip for “I Feel Better.” That is, until, a Ghandi/Sinead O’Conner/Jesus/alien creature kills them with his laser breath. While this solution to finishing off insipid pop acts might be ten years too late, it’s still fun to [...]

Nicki Minaj throws down and gets smacked back

March 18, 2010

We adore Nicki Minaj. She has fun with pronouncing words, she simultaneously makes fun of her pop collaborators while dueting with them (Mariah, Thicke), and she has a pretty fierce flow. However, at the end of her adorable “Itty Bitty Piggy,” a catchy tune pulled from her 2009 mixtape, she claims to have “single handedly [...]

Relation stay optimistic, get remixed

March 18, 2010

Relation are the UK duo of Andrew Leary and Oliver Keech. Their debut album, Fear of Night, dropped last year, but isn’t available in North America and seems to have limited availbility in the UK and EU. Instead of going on here, listen to the first 30 seconds of “Optimistic,” below. If you aren’t hooked [...]
