Kitsune Maison 8
Is it a fashion house? Is it a record label? Is it just an awesome source of the coolest music and clothes? Probably yes. The new preview for the upcoming Kitsune Maison 8 is verrrry promising and the first two tracks have been banging on repeat for a while now. We’re looking forward to hearing [...]

Vampire Weekend + Horchata
Horchata is the sweet, cinnamon-y rice drink that washes away the spiciest assault of carne asada and al pastor like a wave erases footprints from the sand.

Summer ’09s Greatest Hits (so far)
Maybe it’s the fact that our air conditioning unit is broken and my vision is getting blurry. Maybe it’s the fact that writing about summer jams has become so ubiquitous among us bloggers that the very idea of a summer jam actually finding success organically has become impossible. Still, even if we’ve only just started [...]

Julian Casablancas Q&A
Here’s some more from the enigmatic Strokes front man on his debut solo record and the under-construction 4th Strokes album. There are a few more pieces of music to preview in this short video and they don’t do anything to dispel the speculation that this record will be more electronic than his Strokes work.

Julian Casablancas + Phrazes for the Young
For those of you betting whether Nick Valensi or Julian Casablancas would be the next Strokes member to line up their own album, here’s your answer. And even though the band has supposedly returned to the studio a new album from them is still probably at least a year off so [...]
