Star Wars is one of those epic tales of good and bad that can be compared to all the great stories of morality and the power of small forces facing great odds and triumphing through out the whole history of written word. Fuck that shit. The Sith was so much more brutal than anything the rebels had at their disposal. Jabba by Kane is kind of like redemption for the Dark side fucking up. Kane takes shit to a whole new level with a journey through bass that is going to melt your brain. I’m hyping this shit up so much because it deserves to be hyped and secondly I hate Star Wars.

Time to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of TKVR. We’ve grown the party 10x since it’s Wednesday inception at Cafe Prytania. If you haven’t been to our new indoor/outdoor location, get psyched. Here’s a couple new additions to look out for: open flames, enter through our smoke tunnel, a brand new chill zone in the back corner and a human sacrifice, among other batshit crazy ideas we’ve spent the whole summer coming up with. Can’t wait to see yall out there!

This song describes soooooooo many of the nights I did not had this summer. Instead I worked my ass off, made tons of homies and saw music. It’s no Thong Song, but hey it’s good. The Twelves are not only rocking singles though, they have countless remixes from La Roux to Two Door Cinema Club. Check em out.

Dale Jacobs “Almost Home” closes out his 1978 mediocre jazz fusion record ,”Cobra”. The song is a journey to something great, somewhere that Jacobs finds comfort in.”Almost Home” ends prematurely, after only two minutes, and we’re left wanting more. Maybe Jacobs never finds home. I feel like I am always close to home. The ending to my journey was untimely as well.

Just the name Sharkslayer makes you think that his music is going to be that hard, repetitive, industrialized dubstep crap we’ve herd over and over again for the last year. Though thats where you would be wrong, this is instead a great homage to your seal eating friends who kept me company for the last week (AHH SHARK WEEK YOU THE BESTTT). The only thing I can picture while listening to this track (as you’ve notice most of my posts are about what my twisted brain is thinking during the duration of a track) is that damn Dodo bird from the Looney Tunes bopping around hangin with Bobby Womack.

This song is full of mystery, allure and funk. Mandré “Opus VI” has many similarities to the run of the mill Harold Faltermeyer soundtrack hit but something about this song stands out. There is a vibe that Faltermeyer never could quite produce. It is probably the accent on the E that gave Mandré his supreme musical talents.

I have to admit I’m a causality to the recent lo-fi surf rock craze, but like in all music right now there is just too much of this stuff floating around (pun certainly intended) right now. I came across this track on one of the many foreign blogs that I read, wait, many of the blogs that I blankly stare at in languages I cannot read and simply press play. This track stood out as a gem as soon as I hit go, and I suggest you do the same peoples! Shitty band name, great tune.

This is something I would love to listen to while darting around the city on a bike, in slow motion of course though. Full of so many sounds, from synths to chopped up R&B samples to some weird sonar bass loop, this track completely stimulates the senses, and I really cant condone you riding a bike to this shit. Instead grab a seat, pick up a Beam & Coke slushy (which I had with my Mishka homies at BCC last night) and hit the JUNGLE BUTTON.

Just arrived home in St. Louis for a couple weeks, somehow unscathed. I split the drive up over two days and hit up Electrocity in Memphis, a similar styled party to TKVR. Deathface pretty much tore the building down. They’ve got some serious production, and some great people over there, hit them up if you are ever in town. They also throw another event called Credick or Debit which I can’t wait to check out. Definitely got wasted at the show and woke up in my running car in the parking lot of a Days Inn at 10AM somewhere 100 miles north of Memphis after I couldn’t find a Wal-Mart parking lot for the life of me. Unreal hangover for the 5 hour drive from Memphis to STL yesterday, ugh.

Think Congorock, but minus the tropical feel with the bpm pushed through the roof. Needless to say all of the tracks off their “Flatland” EP are not songs to be cranked while casually chain smoking cigarettes, but more of club bangers, abandoned at the end of the night……. So burn the track on a disk and flip it to your local disk jockey, bye byeeee.
MP3: “Hyper” – “Sounds of Stereo”
