Somewhere along the line, someone (THANK YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE) recommended that I check out PJ Harvey. I'm going to take a second to set a precedent:A big part of music blogging is just passing on information you've already heard; information that's already readily available but that you feel deserves an extra boost of hype. Everyone, Gangster Legs included, is guilty of reposting something

New musical crush! It's hard not to imagine Grimes as a porcelain doll. Her voice is like glass, and her synths are equally chilly. I mean that in the nicest way. Come to think of it, maybe she's not a doll. Maybe shes a magical snowflake with vocal chords and opposable thumbs. Either way, her tunes are catchy as hell. Her new album (she's released alot of material, but considers this her

"Everyone goes home in October." So wrote Kerouac, ruminating on his travels criss-crossing the post war American landscape. But guess what? It's November. Actually, it's almost December, for Christ's sake. I came home in October, and you know what? It's fucking boring. I'm ready for the open road again. Who cares that it's going to be freezing cold, with snow blanketing the ground,

2011-11-23T22:59:00.004-05:00

For the past couple of weeks I've been in a bit of a musical slump. I began asking bleak questions, like "Am I doomed to be an aural malcontent?" and "Is this what we've come to? Dubstep?" (Wub wub wub, wub wub wub). NO, I say! Never!! Rock n' roll will never die, and neither will I!!!

One of the best songs ever written is Goodbye Horses by Q Lazarus. This is an indisputable fact, similar to the truth that kittens are cute and six-packs of tall boy cans are a better deal. Now, while going through my files (I call them that) I found a cover of my favorite song that I have not yet stopped to listen to, which made me seek out some more covers. Are they as good as the original? Do

Where do I find myself in 20 years. A new life as a lesbian supermodel. No one can defeat me. I am a rape victim of justice. I need to find a load of nickels I left in my back pocket. Sometimes life defeats me but then I watch television. Commonality is the store I often miss during my shapeshifting loads of crap. I sometimes find reality is where I left the last vestige of my mind. Weirdly, god

Some people will tell you that Ryan Adams hasn't made a good album in quite some time...and I will wholeheartedly agree with them. The alt-country crooning and Grateful Dead noodlings of Heartbreaker, Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights, 29, hell, even Easy Tiger, have been replaced by a consistent stream of too-polished cheesiness that sounds not out of place in a church sermon or an office

Summer is over. Done. Gone. To say it aloud or read it in print has a certain achiness to it. I'll be the first to admit that I'm an extremely nostalgic person. I pine for the days that never actually existed. I create fantastic realities out of the ether about my past. Put me in Coney Island for one shitty, rainy October day and I'll turn it into a summer spent carousing the boardwalk,

I saw The National and Beach House with Beth the other day and we have another friend surprisingly. It was great. It was in Prospect Park. Above was our view because we did not actually purchase tickets. There were a lot of young people, which was confusing because that is the wrong demographic for The National. Beach House, maybe. Still, where were the new moms and dads? Where were their

Sometimes you don't want to hear anything except one specific song over and over again. No one's voice.I have a few, which means I really don't want to talk to anyone. One is "Breakneck Speed" by Tokyo Police Club (pretty new). One is "I Am A Girlfriend" by Nobunny (old news). But there is also this new song that was recorded late this spring. Listen to it and feel pretty down on yourself!

I know its pretty much every girl's dream to have Robert Pattinson's Twilight character Edward Cullen in their bed feasting on their virgin blood. But what happens when he gets his whole family in on the feast? Most girls probably think, "Aw cool, I get a whole bunch of hot guys in my bed." WRONG. Don't forgot about those bitchy sisters. They're going to crush your self esteem with their size 2

I saw this recently and I kinda pooped my pants. Originally manufactured in the early 80's by Roland, the TB 303 was the soul of Acid house and has been used throughout the development of electronic music over the last 25 years. It was originally designed to sound like an actual bass guitar and replace a bass player in a band. However, DJ's like Daft Punk figured out that it was best used to

The Shangri-Las are awesome! Two sets of sisters made up the 1960s girl group from Queens that sang stories mostly about dating cutie pies. Guys should know this is still how girls "deal." Everything is turned into a whispery song backed by three ladies who are really empathetic about the situation. That's why girls always hang out in gangs of four!

God must be pretty unhappy with me because I have been smitten by a string of bad luck that has spanned the better part of the last 6 months. My shitty luck runs the gamut from my grandfather dying to a permanent ban at Six Flags (and so so much more in between). To ameliorate my current situation I have been trying to get in touch with him, but he's such a dick. He never returns my calls or

Reflecting upon the weather this past weekend has made me realize that its about that time where I rip off those long johns and 5000% wool sweaters, and replace them with tightly fitting jean cut-offs and a blouse with the sleeves all rolled up. It's also that time of year where I don't feel like a douche bag rocking my sunglasses in artificially lit areas. And, no I don't mean dark and sweaty

Hi everyone! My name is Anderson. I wanted to share my thoughts with you people so that I may bestow your ear sockets of the rock candy that's been more like a computer duster addiction for me. And when I say rock candy, I mean indie electronic music. And when I say indie electronic music, I mean electro. And when I say electro, I mean nu-rave, synth-disco, and, my favorite, French House.

Shut your face, maybe because WHO CARES Billy Corgan has taken time off from looking like a hot alien to grace the planet with new songs backed by other ETs. These songs are collectively known as Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. (Teargarden means the plants water themselves according to their MySpace.)Smashing Pumpkins -
