INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. The New Pornographers It’s time that you started listening to The New Pornographers (assuming that you don’t already) because if you’re not, you’re missing out on some musical magic. Worse than that, you might actually know the band but [...]
I had always wanted to go to CES (Consumer Electronics Show). It’s the largest electronics show in the world and takes place in Las Vegas every year. Up until now though, I never really had much of a reason to go to it, other than curiosity and a chance to [...]
INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. Jay Reatard Jay Reatard was perhaps one of the best punk musicians to have emerged from the United States, and it’s a crying shame that he’s no longer with us to expand on his canon of work. Eschewing the [...]
There are few things on this planet that are quite so gross as kids can be. Yes yes, we all know. They are precious darlings to be treasured and all that BS. But let’s face it. They are walking, crawling, writhing snot encrusted biological weapons of, excremental disgust. Not [...]

Every year around Thanksgiving they take to social media to lament the Fa-La-La's, Silent Nights and trampled grandma's that their spouses loop 24 hours per day to kick of the holiday season.

INTRODUCING YOU TO BANDS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW, BUT TOTALLY SHOULD. Desmond Dekker I thought that for this week’s Playlist Elevated, we’d throw it back to the late 60’s- early 70’s and rediscover one of Reggae and Ska’s biggest influencers.
