White Laces/Arches split 7"
Richmond, VA’s White Laces and Philly’s Arches both have a preternatural ability to stimulate the subconscious, transmuting life’s geography into a hyper reel of sonic film. So, after hitting the road over the summer together, it’s only natural that the two recently coalesced onto a split 7”, solidifying their bond on wax. Gotta love ‘95 romances.
White Laces opens on the A-side with the...

Yep, that’s your boy topping the NewYorker.com article “The Mayor Takes On Island Smokes.” It doesn’t help Mayor Bloomberg’s cause in suing Island Smokes—a tobacco shop that offers free use of equipment to roll the comparably super-cheap loose tobacco it sells you—for “selling cigarettes with no tax stamp,” being “in violation of the...

Dir†y Beaches///Silk Stockings
“There is no superiority in terms of music. There is no good music; there is no bad music. I mean, music is designed specifically catered to a taste, so there’s preferences. There is no good or bad music. People who judge music as good or bad are thinking of it as fucking sports or something…”

I’ve never seen the labia utilized in this manner. Bravo? Just don’t let the kids see this one, it’ll confuse the shit out of them.
This decadent skin-puppet show began as a fan generated video on Youtube for the Jacuzzi Boys’ title track off their latest LP, Glazin’. After the disapproval and subsequent removal by Youtube, the girls posted their...

Hygiene apparently isn’t a part of Friends front woman Samantha Urbani’s morning (afternoon) routine. In lieu of bathing (forgivable) and brushing (not), Urbani pops in a cassette mix and dons her shoulder with a vintage portable player before leaving her apartment to stroll around the Myrtle/Broadway stop outside of Market Hotel. A cycling cast of Bushwick...

Recently, Airick Woodhead’s project Doldrums—not to be confused with the VHF band of the same name—received attention for its B-side remix on the forthcoming Portishead 12” Chase The Tear out Nov. 14.
Woodhead, formerly of idiosyncratic synth-poppers Spiral Beach, releases his profound and culturally transcendant début EP on No Pain...

He sits down on a couch lining the manila wall of a backstage room in the Knitting Factory. A room not so far off a ‘90s guest bedroom of a Floridian condo. Glass sliding doors, a “love” seat backed by a horizontally hung vanity mirror doubling as art, side table topped with a modest, pastel living room lamp, and a mini-fridge packed to the brim with Corona decorate the space. I begin to set up...
