It’s going to be the only record store left in town pretty soon, which is kind of sad. But I’m pretty happy right now after this haul. What: EPMD-”Crossover”… Continue reading »

Fuck That Beef Shit, That Shit is Played Out

If these two could reconcile after Jay-Z fucked Nas’ baby mama and then told the world about it, how difficult could it be for me and Bradford of Deerhunter to squash our short-lived and obviously absurd beef, one most aptly summarized by Maura of Idolator as making you regret the invention of the Internet?

Phone Went West

I was supposed to have a different post up today, but fate struck in the form of my cell crumbling in my palm last night. Yes, you heard me right, it literally crumbled in my palm. You see a car backfired, I juggled it, caught it in mid-air and when I opened up my hand,… Continue reading »
