Kitty Get Down
It’s almost April, but it’s still quite dreary here in Chicago. No matter how much we will Spring to come, the rain, ice and gray days are unending.
The tunes of NYC duo The Ropes are the perfect Spring soundtrack for bike rides that turn to rain and sunny mornings with chilly temperatures. Vocalist/bassist Sharon Shy […]
Go Bananaz with The Gorillaz
Both the last great conceptual music project of the passed century and the first great conceptual music project of the current century, the Gorillaz wowed and built a devoted fanbase worldwide. With hopeful rumors circulating of a new album, we’ve waited at a standstill, but independent filmmaker Ceri Levy intends to make the wait a […]

The kind of mood that’s less goliath-sized beats and synth riffs and more […]
Drunk & Disorderly @ SXSW: Day 2
THURSDAY, MARCH 19TH, 2009
Today’s Australian showcase at Friends killed it. Lenka is amazing! She’s that girl that takes about 45 seconds to fall in love with and about 30 years to finally convince to sleep with you (and honestly the only reason she ever does bone out is because you have a standing 20-year marriage […]
Don Diablo is an Android
Amsterdam’s Don Diablo is either a robot or on speed. This man releases no less than several new tracks a week—and all of them are good. Either way, he gets my vote for the hardest hustling musician of 2009.
Here’s his latest featuring UK rapper, Example:
