When he isn’t comprehensively chronicling abrasive pop at Agit Reader, Kevin Elliott maintains a Joey Votto tribute site at World of Wumme. Download Link: Maxi Single Summer Mix The annual summer jam mix tape assemblage has become the rite of passage into these scalding and shimmering months ahead. This year it seems stress prevails —… Continue reading »

Douglas Martin puts on for his city. http://www.mediafire.com/?k0dgmtkwehm The physical climate of the Pacific Northwest is grossly over-dramatized. I mean, sure dark grey clouds waft through the sky approximately 180 days out of the year, and sure we wear flannel year-round and keep umbrellas in our cars like gangbangers keep handguns in theirs. But look… Continue reading »
by Jonathan Bradley If the thug love song has a bad reputation, it’s because it deserves it. This rap micro-genre is responsible for some of the most treacly, dishonest and altogether unnecessary pop hits of the past few decades. “What,” you might reasonably be thinking upon hearing one of these, “is my favorite rapper doing… Continue reading »
Like we always do about this time. For all of the frigid, aggressive, winter music that New York Hip-Hop has given us over the years, there’s no doubt that it was originally born out of the muggy, oppressive heat that can only come from an East Coast-summer. Fuck gentrification, to THIS DAY, a walk around… Continue reading »

Since my knack for procrastination is only matched for my gift for talking loudly in public places, it didn’t run until now. Part Sint Maarten travelogue, part ode to Jamaican music and… Continue reading »

Jeff: For this aged club rat, chased off by cokeheads, Guidos, and Guiliani, the worst thing about summers was always the outdoor parties, or the warehouse raves devoid of air-flow. One… Continue reading »

She also hosts ‘The Late Night Sandwich’ on BluFM in Katoomba on Sundays, 10pm-midnight AEST at www.blufm.org.au and has some blog (who doesn’t?) at http://steeplechaser1.wordpress.com Summer, in my eyes, really means dancing, and who… Continue reading »
Hailing from Ottawa, Aaron Matthews boasts an intimate familiarity with the meaning of the phrase, “So Icy.” On a related note, Trey Kerby once made a snowman using nothing but a half-dozen cups of shaved ice and Bill Hanzlik’s mustache.

Nick Rallo has stupid crazy Cetacean swag at Whale Fight. Nobody knows the hot months better than Ray Bradbury. The cool smell of lightning, and the snug tennis shoes on your freshly socked feet: Mr. Electrico from Something Wicked This Way Comes is summer. Personally, I don’t get tired of reading about it–the same way… Continue reading »
