Jacques Lu Cont is a many-monikered veteran British dance producer who has made tracks under any number of pseudonyms — Les Rhytmes Digitales, the Thin White Duke, the Zoot Woman project. He’s also produced for people like the Killers and Madonna. And right now, he’s releasing a series of his own tracks. He started it [...]
Photographer Irish Willis Peele‘s thing was shooting punk band Frontline (and others) in Virginia, and his archive includes the above pic of students moshing at a Dead Kennedys show. According to Peele, the man in the center is none other than The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart, who was a student at William & Mary at [...]
Here’s another video from Schoolboy Q’s Album Of The Week alum Habits & Contradictions, and it’s a dark, ominous clip that fits the menacing vibe of the song pretty well. The song, it should be noted, is produced by ASAP crew member Ty Beats who most memorably made the beat to ASAP Rocky’s “Peso.” Watch [...]
Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, frontman for jittery Danish punks Iceage, has a new side project called War, who could not possibly sound less like the Latin funk band with the same name.

James Murphy, himself the gold standard for aging hipsters, appears in the film and Alverson posted a clip on his Vimeo [...]

The diffuse Ontario dreampop duo Memoryhouse will soon release their new album The Slideshow Effect, and we’ve already heard first single “The Kids Were Wrong.” And now they’ve let the world hear another track from the album. This one, “Walk With Me,” moves their drifting, cloudlike sound a half-step closer toward hard, tangible pop music. [...]
