The SYFFALIST: Week of 5/13/2013

We 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 rest assured, the Syffalist is here to ease the chaos. We are your beacon of light  in the shit storm of life. Below are our top 5 songs this week. Sit back, relax, and click on those red links. You might hear something you'll like.

STOP SLEEPING: K-Maxx, Holy Ghost, Pallbearer, Chance the Rapper, fiN, Stay Tuned, James Supercave, Yassou Benedict

Lately 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 from the truth, I am quite happy with my current reality and my experimentation with acid lasted about 1.5 times. I realized I wasn't cut out for the wonder drug when I spiraled into a paranoid rage because my house guests asked me to get them a glass of lemonade or some shit. 

HOW fucking DARE THEY!

Most times when I use rabbit hole, it is a place holder while my oft sleep deprived brain tries to find the correct term,...

Tim and Blockhead Discuss Music and Stuff: Vol 30

The big 3-0.

We are getting old bro.

The balls are dangling a little lower, everyone under 25 looks like they are 12, and we find ourselves falling asleep on the couch at 10pm every night. 

But with the age comes a wisdom.

We might not be able to make fun of celebrities as well as we used to, but we are better, smarter, and the crow's feet around our eyes make ladies think we are sexy on some Clooney shit. 

Today we get busy talking all sorts of shit about shit, including a video filmed in fucking space bro. 

fucking SPACE!

So suck on that shit and admire how dope that lil blue...

The SYFFALIST: Week of 5/6/2013

To put it bluntly bro? 

Life been cray over the past few weeks, and the next few weeks look to be even cray-er. 

In case none of you actually read my imaginary blog in my head, I was elected alderman in Yorkville, Illinois a few weeks ago. I get sworn in on May 16th. I also leave for Los Angeles on the 17th. I'm as frantic as I've ever been, but there's this weird calm shit going on in my bowels that I've never experienced before.

I'm currently living life at full speed but sort of watching this shit play out from above my body like in that one movie that I just described that I can't remember the title of bro. 

The one thing that has been giving me solace besides my wifey and kiddies, is the fact that I...

STOP SLEEPING: Gregory and The Hawk, Shad, Circle Takes the Square, Rachel And The Kings, Rare Books, Beacon, Bibio, Heliocentrics

It happens in threes; at least that is what they say. Celebrities, once one drops you can be certain that in the coming days two more are going down. It probably has something to do with those deals they all sign with the devil. If I learned anything from the Ralph Macchio movie Crossroads, it is that when the bill comes due the devil is coming to collect.

In the past week or so we lost three musicians that had a huge impact in there time, and if you aren't one of those assholes that thinks their experience with music is the only one that matters you can see how, though wildly different, they were all important in the growth of modern music and music fandom.
