Scottish indie fivesome Frightened Rabbit released their fifth full-length album Pedestrian Verse last month, and so far, it’s taken a place as one of my favorite releases of the year (right next to Tegan & Sara‘s Heartthrob, Ra Ra Riot‘s Beta Love and Woodpigeon‘s Thumbtacks […]

In Dreams: “Crazy Enough”
Canadian duo In Dreams could have a hit on their hands with “Crazy Enough”, if anyone ever bothered to listen. The addictive, high-energy pop tune’s been around for nine months now, and I’ve yet to hear it playing on the radio, getting mixed into DJ […]
Matt & Kim: “It’s Alright”
Life is hard! As much as I wish I could reach through each of your screens and personally give you a shoulder rub, the best I can do is heal your woes with the power of pop music and naked dudes. The week has brought […]
Little Boots: “Motorway”
Singer-songwriter Victoria Hesketh, better known to the world as Little Boots, has made deliriously wonderful electro-pop singles since 2009, when she released the completely amazing triumverate of “New In Town“, “Remedy” and “Earthquake“. If you read music blog,s she is probably a household name and […]
Frank Ocean: “Eyes Like Sky”
I am irritated. Much as I adore Frank Ocean, he constantly serves as a reminder that the gay media doesn’t care about black male musical artists unless they’re against us or “one of us“. They’ll swoon and throw their panties on the stage every time Justin Timberlake […]

Lianne La Havas: “Elusive” & “Gone”
Stevie Wonder, Prince, Erykah Badu, Bon Iver and Jill Scott can’t all be wrong about Is Your Love Big Enough?, the debut album from Lianne La Havas. Those are just a few of the famous fans who’ve hopped on board with the English artist’s soulful blend […]
Phoenix: “Entertainment”
Fresh off their two biggest radio hits ever, Phoenix are back to rock your world with their new single “Entertainment”. Now, much as it’s great to hear new material from the French band, I will wholeheartedly admit that this track didn’t hit me as hard as “1901” […]
5 Reasons You Should Drop Everything & Listen to DeShawn Timothy’s “Merge” EP
DeShawn Timothy of Philly duo Sgt. Sass released a brand new solo EP, and I refuse to understand why, right at this exact moment, you’re doing anything that doesn’t involve listening to it… So stop sipping coffee, jerking off, breathing, eating a banana or whatever the fuck you’re […]
