Ever find yourself at the end of trying work week in need of some hardcore tunage? Me too. Especially since it’s Winter Music Conference right now in Miami (more for the hot weather setting and less about the debaucherous barely-dressed fist-pumping), my office cubicle is a downright allergen come Fridays at 5 p.m. My new [...]

Remember those days of homecoming crowds and Thursday night back to back basketball games? Well aptly named Rival Schools may not quite take you back to those nostalgic days, but they will spruce up your Friday with their new single “Wring It Out.” The highly anticipated track off their upcoming new album Pedals (out March [...]

Chi-town’s experimental, have-fun-with-it young band Maps & Atlases is tinkering around with their popular track “Living Decorations” off their debut album Perch Patchwork out last year. Come March 1,  the indie four-some and Barsuk Records are releasing a couple mixes and live tracks exclusively via iTunes. Top that off with more tour dates, a stop [...]

New York fashion week is set to kick off tomorrow and while prepping for the non-stop seven days ahead, we’ve been de-stressing with our favorite songs in the office. For that carefree, whirl-about-in-the-spring-sunshine, perfect-for-the -70s-revival kind of vibe, PJ Harvey is our chanteuse of choice. Her new album Let England Shake drops Feb. 15. This [...]

It’s snowy, slushy Friday in New York, and all to cap off that first sluggish week back from the holidays. In the office, we’ve had something of a Friday anthem to suit the moody spirit.

Doldrums is a one-man project from Toronto based Airick Woodhead. This past weekend Doldrums played four shows in three days in New York – his first time playing in the big city – and he KILLED it!

It’s easy dressing models – who are hand selected  for their off the rack figures – but dressing the smattering of diverse extras for Kings of Leon’s new music video “Pyro” was another matter. (There’s been quite the brouhaha over the casting call for the video that called for persons with deformities.) Sure enough stylist [...]

One of our favorites Cut Copy is back with their Aussie awesome-ness. After we featured their track “Where I’m Going” for free download this past September, we’ve been keeping an eye out for their upcoming LP Zonoscope. Now we’ve got the hint of the synth-pop greatness (namely easy on the ears on the sound that [...]

It might be his Cold Spring, Kentucky roots, but musician Daniel Martin Moore doesn’t play the usual industry games. The guitarist sent a package the old school way via snail mail to SubPop and the rest is music history. And while his star hasn’t shot the stratosphere of Miike Snow or other hip indies, Moore [...]

When we think of couture, we think of fantastical fineries and in the world of the ultra-luxe, the stick-thin mannequins that model them. Enter Beth Ditto of the Gossip with all her wonderful curves. The former Love magazine cover star rocked UK’s X Factor stage in a silky, liquid bronze dress with sharp shoulders from [...]
