The last few weeks of my life have been almost entirely consumed by the NBA’s free agency. I have lost sleep, lost friends, picked up smoking, picked up drinking (…more), yelled at my mother, yelled at my boss, got yelled at by my boss, and nearly ended my life (accidentally). All over speculation and hype, and my naïve willingness to believe anyone with a blog that would say “LeBron is coming to CHICAGO!”. [READ ON]

TOKYO POLICE CLUB’S RELEASE NEW LP, CHAMP
First and foremost, Tokyo Police Club is not at all what the name suggests. One may expect neon nightsticks bludgeoning me as exotic sushi rolls were shoved down my throat; instead, I came across heart-encrusted inflatable baseball bats merely poking me while California rolls were the only things sliming their way down my esophagus. Originally from that mystical and beautiful land that is Canada, this band genuinely delivers [READ ON]

Bow Echo is a great track for summer as the constant beauty of the instruments makes way for a comforting sound. [READ ON]
BRAIDS SAYS SOME HILARIOUS SHIT TO US [INTERVIEW]
Let me start off by saying that BRAIDS is an amazing group of people. In addition to being fantastic musicians, they’re, well, fun. They like each other. They like playing with each other. And the effect of unity in their music is obvious. They may be a young group, but the depth and message of their songs screams of life experiences beyond their years. When I caught their most recent New York show, I couldn’t help but notice how completely they won over the crowd. Not surprising given that their songs incorporate movement and effects that make each one unique and exciting. [READ ON]
