Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon talks candidly about her next chapter, and what really happened between her and Thurston MooreKim Gordon is the Hillary Clinton of indie rock.
I usually don’t reblog my personal blog much here but this article is a very good read.
A Review in Haiku: Jai Paul - Jai Paul (or whatever the hell it is)
Though they’re not legit
The songs that are here are still
Very much the shit.
So yeah. We were had and it sucks that Jai’s songs got leaked before he had a chance to finish and distribute them his way. That said, if these rough cuts are any indication of what to expect down the line from the illusive Mr. Paul, we’ll be in for a very special debut indeed.
Pop That Rocks on Y-Not Radio 4.11.2013
My weekly online radio show Transmission aired last night at 9pm ET (and re-airs Saturday at 6pm ET) on Y-Not Radio. I showcased some of the artists playing this year’s Made In America Music Festival along with new music from The Knife, James Blake, Mount Kimbie, Charli XCX, Jessie Ware and more. If you have a track or artist that you think is Transmission-worthy, feel free to hit me up via e-mail or twitter.
Playlist after the jump…
A Review in Haiku: Charli XCX - True Romance
Sequencing is odd
But the songs still pop and rock.
Just what I like, like.
True Romance is out next week on IAMSOUND. Stream it here while you can.

Ecstatic
Here’s a dark gem of a jam from Brooklyn-based performance artist Vandana Jain, taken from her forthcoming debut ANTI VENUS. The slithery synth lines and assertive yet alien vocals help put it comfortably between latter day Knife and Depeche Mode. Stream it below.
Name in Lights
I’ve been crushing on NYC trio Little Daylight for a hot minute, in case the prominence of their first single “Overdose” in my recent radio shows hasn’t tipped you off. Now, they have a chill new gem to share plus tour dates with Charli XCX later this summer to look forward to. Enjoy the sighing, semi-tropical “Name in Lights” below.
Here’s the gorgeously abrasive title track from Deerhunter’s forthcoming new album Monomania, out May 7 on 4AD. About time too. Considering how quickly Bradford Cox had been churning out new music up until 2011, it’s been way too long of a wait.
