Skewby - "Talk 2 em'"
For three years now, we've watched as Beach House has gone from humble, subtly hypnotic Baltimore slack-key-core twosome to a fully realized and accomplished recording act. With the forthcoming release of Teen Dream on their new home label of Sub Pop, the team of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally will have completed a transformation that has allowed them to take on a new sense of direction in the music and in their lives.
Check out this track, "Norway", from the forthcoming album & head over to Sub Pop for further details on the band and their new record.

Skewby, "Proving You Wrong Since 1988 - The Mixtape"
Hip-hop heads, Skewby is in the house and he's letting you know right up-front: this ain't what you're used to. Proving You Wrong Since 1988 is a warning filled with shots fired at the status quo of Memphis's traditional style of rap. I've had this sitting in my queue for a couple of months now, and to say I slept on it would be an understatement. Don't you be a sleeper, too -- if you do not have this mixtape, you are sleeping on one of the illest mixtapes ...
You already know how much I love the new O+S record. I'm thrilled to offer you a second song from the album, one that I think will give you an even better window into their sonic diversity.

There's a tricky dissonance that wafts through the undercurrent of the most beautiful recordings I've listened to in my life. It's the unexpected collaborations or spellbinding accidents of circumstance that unite elements into original flavors. The illogical syllogisms in music are the ones that surprisingly seem to work the best. Such is the case of O+S, whose self-titled debut will be released via Saddle Creek Records on March 24th.

An observation: I think if Erlend Oye were a type of fabric, he’d be a smooth vinyl suede.
After all, the Norwegian crooner has made his career out of experimenting with various combinations of the synthetic and the smooth. The latest of these efforts is Rules, the second release from The Whitest Boy Alive, due out on Bubbles in March. The Berlin-based group’s 2007 debut, Dreams, was about as close as dance-rock can come to producing a concept album; the stripped-down guitar/bass/drums/vocals galvanized by spare, funky rhythmic consistency made for an album as danceable as it is listenable.
This sophomore ...
They're best known for their insane onstage antics -- things like making out with each other and pissing into their own mouths. I mean, I can't make this stuff up folks -- I've seen it in action (...pause).
But on top of that sideshow freakishness, Georgia's self-proclaimed "flower punk" band Black Lips are a stunning live rock experience unlike anything you're likely to ever see. High energy, a group dynamic that is unprecedented, and hey -- they can play their instruments in the nude without blinking. Wait a minute....paused again.
Recently, they escaped the jaws of death ...
