This post is a “QuickPick”.  QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in Gmail [...]

You know what makes an otherwise completely shite morning/week better? New Santigold.  NEW SANTIGOLD!  It’s kinda hard to believe that it’s been three years since her Alternative-Electronic-Indie self-titled debut dropped and took the musical world by storm.  Since then she’s toured the world, inspired mass-dance-athons, worked with various and sundry musicians and also disappeared and [...]

“This beat is sick.”  That was all I or any of my friends could say.  Sweatshop Union is seriously sick. While they are new to me and probably new to most of the US (they recently played at SXSW in Austin), they’ve created a name for themselves in their motherland, Canada.  Originally from Vancouver, British [...]

Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later.  If it’s still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can’t get through writing up pieces [...]

Rich Kid Sound System, weird name and it seems a bit hipster-ish but hold your judgment till the end. I won’t say anything cliche like, “these guys are poised to change the industry” or “they are the next big thing” because quite frankly I don’t like making predictions before midnight. Not to say these guys [...]

Hard as a motherfucker. Announced last week (or not that long ago in the past), the internet went batshit insane at the news of this single and album. The collab album “Watch The Throne” is due out on March 1st and if his G.O.O.D. Fridays were any indication then he might just drop some more [...]

I don’t mind sweary words.  Fuck knows I use them enough myself, but when it comes to music it takes a special kinda maestro to pull them off without sounding like a tool. Fred Durst managed to screw it up and pull it off, Zack de la Rocha mastered it with Rage, and this Fresco [...]

So Kanye’s latest “masterpiece” came out yesterday (November 22nd) and the entire world is talking about it, even the people who have no idea who he is and think he’s some kinda South American tree or something. Well, a certain online publication gave the album a perfect score of 10.0, basically proclaiming it as the [...]

A few days ago I posted a mashup that +VIBES sent me back in July and it’s blown up since then. On the back of that I asked him for the rest of his mashups and he sent me not only all of the ones he’s made public, but a couple of newer ones that [...]

Cory Bannon, the dude behind +VIBES, sent this track to me back at the start of July and I’m only getting around to posting it today. sadface He’s been doing mashups for past 9 months or so out of Boulder, Colorado, and is looking for more of an audience and that’s why I’m here, so [...]
