DJ Lung turned me onto Tame Impala a few weeks ago. I dropped one of their songs on Episode 68 (Live at Split). The song and band are amazing… but the video reinforces my distaste for most music videos. If it gets to be too much, just keep the speakers on and close your eyes.

Drew Grow and the Pastors’ Wives make their home in Portland, and meld together a scuzzy, squally blend of rebellious gospel/folk that at times possesses the radiant buoyancy of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, and in quieter moments the seeping warmth of M Ward or intelligent, lovely meanderings of Elvis Perkins. It’s wild […]
Spark and Sergio are screaming. Morrissey's words. "Sister I'm a Poet" crackling through the car's broken speakers. "And is evil just something you are? Or something you do?" A puff of black exhaust exploding into the October sunset. Sergio's boot pressed against the floor. Clove cigarettes lit. Through the smoke […]

It was a 3OH!3 show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder two years ago when Kamtin Mohager stood alone on the stage with an iPod and his bass guitar as The Chain Gang of 1974. In 2010, things are quite different for the songwriter. Kamtin’s lone line up has grown from two, to three, to four people on stage and a ton more instruments in the mix. The new album, White […]
Watch the exclusive video of the Herve Leger runway show below: The Fall 2010 Herve Leger collection screamed strong feminine empowerment. This woman is a sexy super hero “confident to stand tall in the face of the future”. Much kudos to Max Azria and Lubov who once again remain true to the Leger bandage theme […]
Toronto – Whenever I go karaoke, I always queue up cheesy but good 90s pop songs like say, Take That – Back For Good or Wallflowers – One Headlight, and then proceed to yell into the mic, out of tone and occasionally out of pace. It is probably not a pretty sight, but with each […]
Thai soap sensation Hugo was a guest on my show tonight. He shares a practice space with Your Vegas and Mat told me good things about Hugo's music. The EVR guys set it up so he would perform a song live in the booth, and it was his cool cover version of Jay Z's 99 Problems. His version includes a banjo. We talked about his acting skills, the song h […]
