My muxtape is updated, and this time it's an international affair...not one US band. Well, if you want to split hairs, Neon Neon is Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals and Boom Bip, who's a California-based DJ. So, that's 1/2 US.

The first in the series is St. Vincent whose debut album this year is ( Read more... )

I had a revelation this morning; there's too many people in New York. Seriously. Some of you people need to move away. I hear Boston's nice and not that far. Get the hell out of here, you disgust me ( Read more... )
