Last month, I was fortunate enough to gallivant across the Big Island of Hawaii for a week, witnessing real-life lava flowing into the ocean–something I never thought I would witness with my own two eyes. (It was some serious National Geographic shit!) This particular flow decimated the area back in the 80’s, so luckily, it…
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…
Jordan Peele (RIP, Key & Peele) has a new horror movie hitting theaters in February that he not only wrote, but also directed. The horror-thriller, entitled Get Out, follows a black guy, Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), as he travels upstate with his white girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams), to meet the parents. After being profiled and harassed by a racists cop, Chris’…
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…
What would happen if the Stranger Things and Buffy ‘verses were combined into one bizarro alternate universe of badness? I think Hawkins + Sunnydale would surely bring the 12th apocalypse and we’d need to beep Buffy ASAP. (Personally, I don’t think the former could handle the epic awesomeness of the latter, but hey, that’s just me.) Lucky for us, someone…
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…
