Where the food sounds good, and the music is pretty tasty too.
In life there is both light and darkness. Where you chose to dwell is up to you. But admittedly at times we lose our way trying to make it through the labyrinth of our existence. The music of CeCe, a mere 19-year old, can help light your way. Check out her Framework EP via Quatre Femmes Records and find comfort and security (at least whilst the music plays) in this quadlection (made up word) of intimate songs. Peace.

If you think soft melodic music is synonymous with weak and ineffective then you would be sorely mistaken. The debut song Oldsmobile by boy/girl union Port Louis is all beautiful fragility, but with the strength and fortitude of a mountain. No news about a forthcoming release but with a sound this patently gorgeous it’s only a matter of time. Peace. Continue reading “post louis | oldsmobile”
Born 1983 in Lelystad. Currently working from his studio in Groningen, the Netherlands. Joram Roukes is making his mark, not only on the world of art in general, but on anyone who happens to bear witness to his astonishing body of work. His oil painting are an assemblage of the mundane and everyday occurrences which unfold in our collective lives. Yes, they are collage-like in technique, but they are also something more visceral in that they resemble jigsaw puzzles of life and intractable earthbound beauty.
You can catch his work at Gallery B15 and in this months High Fructose Magazine, and check here for additional Gallery Shows. Peace. Continue reading “things we like: artist spotlight + joram roukes”
The electronic DJ/Production duo composed of Ben “DJ B-Roc” Ruttner and James “JPatt” Patterson, The Knocks, have unleashed another adroitly proscribed summer tune, featuring the saccharine laden vocals of NYC denizen Jean-Philip Grobler bka St. Lucia. The upbeat, melody-driven track Modern Hearts is an ideal splash of summer grove theory to get you moving in the right direction. Peace. Continue reading “the knocks // modern hearts (ft. st. lucia)”
I am pleased to present L.A.-based Lord Huron, and their western-tinged blues rock ballad Ends of the Earth. With sounds reminiscent of earlier works from Fleet Foxes with just a dash of The Shins for good measure. Continue reading “lord huron // lonesome dreams (our sunday best)”

Apashe & Snails commune over the otherworldly wickedness that is Bubble Gun. Be careful, it’ll jack your body like an adolescent boy on Viagra. I know, bad visual and I sincerely apologize for that… However, I refuse any form of contrition when it comes to applauding the bombasticism of this track. Peace. Continue reading “apashe & snails // bubble gun”
Pierce Fulton and Maor Levi join musical forces and create reason enough to tear it up on the dance floor (where ever that may be), their track Wanna Be is total bent spoon and rusty syringe. Peace. Continue reading “pierce fulton & maor levi // wanna be”
