Kid Cudi + Vampire Weekend = ?
Two Vampire Weekend posts in a row? This warrants for some ecstatic schoolgirl responses but the new leaked single by Kid Cudi, Cudderisback, features the Ottoman single from Vampire Weekend as it’s backing track. I really do not know what to think of this nor I do not know what VW would think [...]

BOOMBOX

Today I was browsing around the internet in search of some new music to add to my library. Lo and behold I came upon Afternoon Naps. As a siesta or as a band, it could only mean one thing: good stuff. I looked into it and arrived at the conclusion that this band is fantastic [...]
Listen: Harry Partch by Beck
Harry Partch was the longest surviving WW1 veteran.
Harry Partch was a musician who invented the 43-tone scale.
Radiohead wrote “Harry Partch” about the veteran but it was mistook to be about the musician.
A member from the Fiery Furnaces insulted Radiohead’s “Harry Partch”, but they didn’t respond.
Beck decided to retaliate and wrote his own “Harry Partch” that [...]

Vampire Weekend has released a music video for their new single “Cousins”. This tune is at a much faster pace, compared to their previous single “Horchata”. I am getting really pumped for their new album, released in January 2010.

Album Review of “For Emma, Forever Ago” by Bon Iver
Music does not get any more beautiful, organic, or raw as this. At least for now it doesn’t. Justin Vernon, or most commonly known as, Bon Iver, is the lyrical mindset behind this album and concept. Recorded in a cabin somewhere isolated in northern Wisconsin (following his previous project’s break-up, DeYarmond Edison), [...]
