When we think of holiday songs, Christmas usually takes the cake. That shit is entirely too joyous and happy for me though. STOP BEING SO MERRY. It’s suspicious. Like frog’s breath. Lately though, Halloween tunes have been stepping up their game. 30 Rock gave us the miraculous “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah,” and of course, A Nightmare Before Christmas delivered countless goodies at…
A photo posted by The Littlest Winslow (@littlestwinslowblog) on Oct 7, 2016 at 2:12pm PDT Band of Skulls is one of the best contemporary rock bands we’ve got. They’re also one of the most underrated. So let’s not bury the lead here: the British trio’s live show is electric, booming, rousing. As the band doled…
It’s no surprise that feminist icon and punk powerhouse Kathleen Hanna is voting for Hillary Clinton. In a new song released today, the newly resurrected Le Tigre, the trio of Hanna, Johanna Fateman and JD Samson, have released “I’m With Her” – and, as the title clearly spells out, they’re HRC fans. The Pro-Clinton anthem’s…
The “Doses & Mimosas” duo known as Cherub have a new album out. Just play “Bleed Gold, Piss Excellence” in the bedroom and watch the panties drop, gentlemen. Chicks dig these guys. I mean, with lyrics like: “You make me feel like, uh, like an extra chicken nugget in a 20-piece meal, and that’s some…
When you’re coming home on the late train from NYC after seeing a shreddingly fucktastic rock show (Band of Skulls, more on that later), changing gears to an act like Capital Cities is jarring. It’s sweet to chew on and gives you all kinds of giddy feels. It may have been exhaustion that made us…
Since Apple Music started Godzilla stomping all over the world of music streaming (RAAAARRR), Spotify has been trying to find a way to maintain its edge against the tech giant. Sure, Apple has delivered some well-timed exclusive albums far before Spotify could get its paws on them, but let’s not forget: Spotify mastered streaming music…
Canadian punks White Lung released a new video for “Sister” – a track taken off their fourth LP Paradise that was released in May.The album is a departure; while it’s a softer effort from the band’s previous hardcore efforts, Paradise is still thrashing and thriving. It’s more anthemic, and perhaps a bit more accessible. For…
Singer-songwriter Andrew Bird hosts a series on his Facebook page called “Live from the Great Room.” That “great room” – why, it’s his very own living room! He invites guests, they ditch footwear, they hop to it. Former guests have included John C. Reilly, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, and The National’s Matt Berninger, among…
I can’t believe I’m saying this: I’m super pumped for the new Metallica album. I mean, I guess I shouldn’t act like that’s a bad thing. It’s not. I just haven’t eagerly anticipated one from these guys in a while. (And I’m not even a St. Anger hater. C’mon people, get over it, already. Embrace…
The video for Lady Gaga’s latest single “Perfect Illusion” dropped this week, and once again, her crew of Little Monsters are complaining like whiny little bitches. The track is an interesting one–a slow burn that builds in energy and octave throughout its meager three-minute-run–and there’s a lot to grasp on to. It’s got tangible emotion,…
