Feist, Dan Mangan, the Sadies Join Forces against Conservative Canadian Government

Tue, 08 Sep 2015 18:29:52 -0400

The power of music is strong, and the will for change is burning. With Canada's election looming and a large portion of the country fed up with the government's bs (limiting the media’s access to information, removing important environmental protection laws to name a couple), Feist, Dan Mangan, and the Sadies have teamed up for a series of anti-conservative concerts across the country with the...

What Larry Harvey Should Have Said About Black Folks And Burning Man

Tue, 08 Sep 2015 16:07:54 -0400

Larry Harvey, founder of Burning Man, made some questionable comments about the lack of black attendants to the yearly festival. His comments, albeit clumsy and stirring, were partly correct. Partly. Growing up in West Philadelphia, a neighborhood that was homogeneously black until the late 2000s, I'd never heard of Burning Man Festival. Taking place in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, it's far...

In our last installment of Visuals, Tonje Thilesen wowed with some gorgeous shots from Hundred Waters' Form Arcosanti, as well as a few of Patten, Panda Bear, and Empress Of. This week, Brooklyn-based photographer Daniel Dorsa shares some of his gorgeous work. Many of his shots need no additional description; they tell the whole story all on their own. First, we asked him to tell us a bit about...

Dam-Funk: Invite The Light

Tue, 08 Sep 2015 15:00:00 -0400

When once the radicals were atheists, hustlers, and self-removed rebels, we've entered an era when the radicals laud their faith in Christ and promote sobriety popularly. There's overwhelming sacredness to this era. I'm thinking of Matthew 7:14, “but small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”; of authors absorbed in Hassidic stories of “the world to come”...

Bon Jovi Is Banned From China For Being Peace Loving Hippies

Tue, 08 Sep 2015 14:35:52 -0400

Who Says You Can't Go Home? Definitely not China. As the next milestone in their over 30 year long career, Bon Jovi were set to play their first ever shows in China next week. The band seemed really stoked about the opportunity - back in August, Jon Bon Jovi recorded a Chinese love song called "Moon Represents My Heart," entirely in Mandarin! However, online sales for the upcoming shows have...

Fetty Wap Saves The Day After Chris Brown Bails On LGBT Party

Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:03:50 -0400

First it was Travis Scott caught on tape using homophobic slurs towards his fans, and now Chris Brown has cancelled an appearance at an LGBT event. This past Saturday, Sept. 5, Brown was reportedly scheduled to attend the Traxx Girls sponsored Gay Pride event, which had over 4000 people in attendance. Brown was advertised as a "special guest host," but when the time came to fulfill his duties, he...

Iron Maiden: The Book of Souls

Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:00:00 -0400

I think Bruce Dickenson may be an alien – it would certainly explain why Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine is always so worried about otherworldly invasions. It would also explain how he managed to beat cancer, all while writing songs for an incredible album, still working as a pilot and flying the new Iron Maiden plane, and visiting sick children participating in music therapy, even when he was...

The Dear Hunter: Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise

Tue, 08 Sep 2015 11:00:00 -0400

From the 13th of August to the 17th of August in 1876, Richard Wagner premiered the entirety of his newest opera, the one which would define his legacy after 26 years of working on it, Der Ring de Nibelungen. While Casey Crescenzo hasn't spent nearly as much time with The Dear Hunter (~9 years), nor as much time working on his the Acts albums, the six part story has as much passionate heights and...

Meek Mill Ends Performance Early After Falling While Crowdsurfing, Or Something

Mon, 07 Sep 2015 23:05:18 -0400

Meek Mill has had a rough few weeks. He started (and lost) a war of words with Drake, his album was panned, and now at Fools Gold Day Off he's had some insult added to injury. The trouble started early, with Meek taking the time to call out a fan for bringing a Drake sign to the show. "Put the Drake sign up again," he challenged. "Tryna' pick on me like I'm a fuckin' dweeb or somethin'." Meek,...
