Not gonna lie. When you find yourself more than a little burnt out on blogging while simultaneously fighting some major computer issues you get a conspicuous absence from the internetz (or what some refer to as ditching loyal readers). But today, an email arrived in the old inbox that not only [...]

808s & Heartbreak: The Kanye West Download Guide + MP3s
For anyone who’s watched Kanye’s career develop from backpacker to megastar to icon it’s been nothing less than inspiring. But let’s not kid ourselves. There’s nothing fancy or frilly about his climb to Olympus. He’s a worker plain and simple. If you strip away the fashion line, the (mostly-earned) self promotion, the cars and, yes, [...]

Nike Human Race + Kanye & Common
Would you run a 10k with little-to-no training for a chance to see Kanye and Common once you finished? This was the proposition facing us when a friend duped convinced us into competing in Nike’s Human Race last weekend. We’re proud to say that we finished (barely) with our lungs and legs in tact and [...]

Live From Daryl’s House + Chromeo
Sometimes you just have to sit back and thank God for making the world such a wonderful place. Sometimes there are moments of true beauty and wonder. Sometimes, you can do little more than marvel at lifes rich pageant. This is one of those moments.

But upon closer inspection, what did our eyes see? This is a legitimately new track? AND Kings Of Leon have [...]

Beck, Modern Guilt Download Guide
This is a new feature and, as is the case with most things, we’re probably not the first to do it. The Download Guide (name still under review) is a simple system to evaluate albums on a song-by-song basis and thus help you in the ongoing mission to fill your iTunes with all killer and little to no filler.

Jeremy Jay, A Place Where We Could Go & mp3
Jeremy Jay has been mentioned before in these pages and the L.A. dude just dropped his debut album, A Place Where We Could Go. Like a lo-fi Bowie, Jay is able to create musical moods that aren’t quite mellow but aren’t quite aggressive; they just sort of fit into a nice place somewhere in between. [...]

Help China and Myanmar
By now you’ve heard the news so I don’t have to preach to you, but the tragedies in Myanmar and China are still far from over. If you have the means, please donate to the Red Cross for either country. Anything helps, thank you.

Watch The Holiday Boozing
Look, we usually try to keep it light here. But sometimes these things have to be said. There’s going to be a lot of debauchery this weekend, because of a certain holiday that apparently can’t be enjoyed without getting hammered.
Yes, it’s Pi Day. Now, I know it’s easy to succumb to the booze and loose [...]

Morning Picks
(In Andy Rooney voice) Heidi Klum and Victoria’s Secret are too sexy! Why does anyone have to be that sexy? (poops pants) Aaaaaand scene!
Will Ferrell’s new movie, Semi-Pro, opens today and ends his relentless pursuit of promotion and, sadly, also means ESPN can now go back to pretending that a coked-up Berman did play-by-play when “Now-Jesse-Me-Now-Je-Don’t” Owens sprinted [...]
