Mind Equals Blown

Upon showing this album to a few of my friends who haven’t been keeping up, the almost unanimous reaction is “wait, this is Daft Punk?!” And I have to say, I had a similar response to my first listen of the album. The best way I can describe it is that Daft Punk is kind…

There are two different kinds of Justice fans: those who like † and those who like † and those who like both † and Audio, Video, Disco. This break happened when the French electro duo gave the dirty, intense sounds of † a pass on their sophomore album and went for a more relaxed, refined…

In what has just become my favourite thing Fuse TV has ever done, bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders of Mastodon gives you an in-depth guide to…. mastodons. This video popped up about a year ago and perhaps not too many people caught wind of it, which is a shame – because it made my day. To thwart further travesties, I’ve decided to…

Here’s a new one for you. Ever since he burst onto the scene Kid Cudi has brought a style to hip-hop like none other. With his Man on the Moon albums, Cudi created a world where darkness and light battle through his beats and rhymes. This has worked with tremendous effect before with Man On…

When I heard The Flaming Lips were going for a “darker sound” with The Terror I wasn’t quite sure what to think. Last I recall when I saw them live, they played a set so beautiful it moved the entire crowd of the Trib Amphitheater to tears, and this was long before they played “Do…
