The Curse of Sounds Like
In the music-writing world there is a certain pitfall we all fall prey to at some point. I call this The Curse of Sounds Like. For example—“If you like the Presets this band is totally for you”. It’s a Catch-22 as it’s annoying, but essential. Not everyone is at the forefront of Musical Tastemakingâ„¢ like [...]
DiscoSteed: your local Nightlife Ninja Videographer
Sup sup hip kids, this is DiscoSteed, your local Nightlife Ninja Videographer with my first post on CreamTeam.
I give you a video I shot on Friday, July 18, 2008 at Dark Wave Disco at Sonotheque featuring A-TRAK (Fools Gold/Montreal). This dude is fierce with the sickness when it comes to scratching and electro remixes. And [...]
Club Dread: Otto Von Schirach
It’s a fact: Europe has a 24-hour hard-on for Otto Von Schirach.
Makes sense, really–the man is out of his mind in the best way possible. He dresses up in the absolute most inane superhero costumes ever, modulates his voice to sound like an alien pederast, and lays down some of the most earth-shattering bass [...]

The weekend that was Pitchfork 2008 has come to close as internet scurries to post their photos and write-ups. What everyone thought was going to be a weekend of misery and bad weather turned into sunny skies, sweaty bodies and endless afterparties. Despite a good night’s sleep, I still wish I could [...]
FACE IT: Jarvis Cocker’s encore a nod to Chicago’s House Music History
(Editor’s Note: Oh for fuck’s sake. I wrote this in a hurry this morning prior to leaving for Pitchfork and forgot to hit Publish. Well, here you go now, several hours later than intended…)
I can’t write much now guys, as I need to leave to get back to Pitchfork soon.
I will be providing some [...]
CreamTeam X Twitter x Pitchfork
Hello dudes & dudettes!
Despite the rain, I’m going to don a poncho and boots and go get rowdy at PITCHFORK today and tomorrow.
I’ve set up a Twitter Feed within the right sidebar (peek to the right) where you can check in throughout the day for assorted snippets about how muddy, drunk and musically impressed (or [...]
