The SYFFALIST: Week of 5/13/2013We are almost half way through 2013 and this year the music keeps on giving. After a lackluster 2012 (in my opinion) 2013 has been jam packed with greatness. It's to the point where it is overwhelming. Can't keep up? Fuck, neither can we. But... |
STOP SLEEPING: K-Maxx, Holy Ghost, Pallbearer, Chance the Rapper, fiN, Stay Tuned, James Supercave, Yassou BenedictLately I have been stuck on the term "rabbit hole" I am not sure why or when it entered into my lexicon but I find myself using it non-stop. I sound like an asshole who took too many hits of acid in my prime and became obsessed with alternate reality. Both of which could not be farther... |
The Wallies drop new single Sex On a Sunday! THIS IS DRANKIN MUSICS!The Wallies impressed me last year, not only with their impressive hackey sack skills, nor their vegan t-bone skirt steakz, but with their energetic yet gleefully stoned as shit rock n roll.

We might not be able to make fun of... |
Caitlin Rose at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles, Ca 5/2/13Nashville's Caitlin Rose is a songwriter from a town known for songwriters. She sings with a voice that drips with twangy cuteness. She's not gravely, but with no less depth. Don't let the cute bely the righteous soul. Caitlin Rose can wail, but it's what she says that grabs me. It's the... |
I miss Fasil.The following is something I felt I had to write, because I'm still sad and pissed off about something. On May 10, 2003, I was in the middle of living with my soon-to-be-wife at her parent's house for a few weeks while our townhome was being built. It was Mother's Day. The sun was out.... |
YONDERBOI drops new single titled COME ON PROGENY! WOOOOOO BALLS!Yonderboi was one of the first names I ever torrented on the internets way back when. There were like three or four of his tracks that grated my grundle in terms of its electro significance, but overall the dude's manner of delivering the potentially corny into 3-4 minute... |
Little Daylight at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles, Ca 05/07/13Three months ago when I track marked Little Daylight's "Overdose" I firmed stated that "On Overdose Little Daylight burns so bright with their shimmering hooky radio friendly dance vibes.
