WIZ KHALIFA: I WAS A NINJA TURTLE
May 2nd, 2011 · No Comments
Dressed in a denim blue letterman jacket, a white hoodie emblazoned with the image of James Dean, and red Converse, Wiz Khalifa looks as American as apple pie. After the Venice Beach shoot for ‘Roll Up,’ a single from his upcoming debut album on the label, he talked about Ninja Turtles, the paparazzi, and, of course, women and weed. This interview by Rebecca Haithcoat.
COACHELLA DAY 3: THE NATIONAL + BON IVER + KANYE WEST + THE STROKES + DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 + DURAN DURAN + BEST COAST + FOSTER THE PEOPLE + PJ HARVEY
April 21st, 2011 · 1 Comment
Perhaps the greatest gift Coachella bestows upon its attendees is the feeling that you’re not alone. Schmaltzy, yes, but stick with us. Now, among discerning music fans, a band like The National is far from obscure. They’ve garnered widespread critical praise over five albums, played on national TV and multiple international festivals, and are even [...]
DAEDELUS: ALL OF MUSIC IS A FAILURE
April 21st, 2011 · No Comments
Daedelus is a perfect Victorian gentleman who makes beautiful records about wars no one cares about and the virtues of handmade clothing. 2011 marks ten years of his recording, celebrated now with the release of his latest Bespoke, as well as a third Magical Properties tour, and shows at SXSW and Coachella. This is truly his year, as it should be. He speaks now about this world’s many failings and the oncoming alien battle we’re all going to face. This interview by Lainna Fader.
COACHELLA DAY 2: ARCADE FIRE + SCISSOR SISTERS + SUEDE + WIRE + BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE + JENNY AND JOHNNY + BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE + THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS + BRIGHT EYES + ERYKAH BADU
April 18th, 2011 · 1 Comment
Other things I saw: Erykah Badu in a set that ended with the plug being pulled, appropriately trippy kaleidoscope visuals accompanying Animal Collective, and a spontaneous, irony-free high five after One Day as a Lion’s Zack de la Rocha stage dove to punctuated their performance.

BEARDYMAN LIVE AT COACHELLA 2011 (PLUS BONUS BOB MARLEY CONTENT!)
April 17th, 2011 · 2 Comments
By far the nicest new surprise this year has been talented beatboxer Beardyman from the U.K. Using a blend he claims is 100% on-the-spot recorded vocals, his beats move the room while evoking a format of hip hop we haven’t seen since Doug E. Fresh. In fact, he even makes me reappreciate my sworn enemy, [...]
