Show Review: HARD Summer Tour @ 9:30 Club, DC
The HARD Summer Tour is a dance tour that hit just 10 dates around the US and 2 in Canada. With Crystal Castles from Toronto headlining, they were backed up by UK DJs Rusko and Sinden, and Destructo, a DJ born in Washington, DC.
Sinden and Destructo, pictured above respectively, played “the warmup shit” of the night. Their basic setups were the same, a laptop and a bunch of...

Show Review: Devendra Banhart & The Grogs
(Some of you might be wondering who The Grogs were and why they didn’t open — they are actually Devendra Banhart’s backing band)
Devendra Banhart was arguably one of the best performances that I’ve seen in a while. Among all the greatest shows I’ve ever witnessed (Grizzly Bear, Mute Math, and Phoenix quickly come to mind), the one thing common to all of these...

Dubstep 8tracks Mix
Today we have a guest playlist from fatimagaye.tumblr.com. I approached her about making me a dubstep mix this morning and it was so good that I thought that I should share.
Dubstep is this subgenre of electronic music (not just a techno offshoot, sorry Trey, haha) that has these woozy beats, focused on the deep “sawing” bass in the low end (you’ll know it when you...

The Swedish Indie Scene
Trey’s style of minimalism will give a nice contrast to my style. We all enjoy the surprise moments where you hear your new favorite songs without anyone explaining them to you beforehand.
Anyway, today I’m doing a spread on the Swedish indie scene because I have a feeling people know one or two bands out of their scene when there’s a lot more to be enjoyed.

So if you haven’t noticed recently I haven’t been giving a proper description or even words for that matter for things I’ve been posting. I’ve come to the conclusion that words aren’t always necessary and that hopefully you just enjoy what you’re hearing. Also being lazy can contribute for a majority of the wordless posts. But I also think it’s more...
