It’s hard to pick my favorite song off the new Vampire Weekend album (debuting at #1?!) but this one is definitely rocking my socks now. Sounds like it got left off Graceland accidentally.
White Sky – Vampire Weekend
Ah hell, this one too…
Run – Vampire Weekend
Speaking of Graceland…
Diamonds On The Soles Of Her S…

Everyone else is doing it. Surely the best reason to do anything, right? Over the past few weeks all the big style/culture mags and blogs have been looking back on the decade and declaring their favorite music, books, movies, etc. And while I could probably name ten movies worth seeing from the 2000s, and maybe [...]
What up. Mixmaster DJ Sad-Kor here. I‘ve been interested for awhile in creating a podcast-style mix – that is, a mix that is a single long track, meant to be listened to all at once, and (possibly) tells a story. I’ve seen these sorts of mixes here and there, and really liked the results of [...]

This unprecedented sharing of the Summertime throne is not part of any grand scheme – the two aren’t really related though there are [...]
I’m a bit late to the party on this one but better late than never eh? I was reminded of something that I should keep in mind when making mixes, which is that when clothing companies come out with seasonal fashions, it’s always a bit beforehand, so people can enjoy their, I don’t know, their [...]
It’s like Twitter, but better because it has music. This is me: blip.fm/ScreechyKid. You can also listen to the songs I play on the sidebar over there. It’s like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this! —>
This poem is one I always think of when Spring comes around…I’d say it’s one of my top-three favorite poems, and on springy days like this it’s definitely number one. The following poem is one that always sneaks up on the first one in my mind and rides piggyback through my imagination, or the two [...]
