“Who would you rather punch, Paz de la Huerta or Terry Richardson?”

britticisms: 60 Seconds Left with Lykke Li What people mean when they talk about that impenetrable kind of cool. So true. (So witchy.)

Okay: the first dubstep song I ever heard was Various Productions, back in 2004: I remember the song seeming pretty well known: Wiley (I think) constructed the excellent Sinner Riddim out of it, for example. We can hear a lot of the elements associated with dubstep: wobble and bass weight, most obviously. But here’s the b-side to that track: Straight up sea shanty. And though in truth...

SOUND OF NOW
  Sound of the Sound: Dirty Beaches, Badlands So when the Weeknd started leaking tracks and had the Internet goin’ nuts (O! The halcyon days of February!) they were leaving me dry. I just chalked it up to “Good PR” and “The presence of guitars” and set it aside. Then House of Balloons came out and the sexy allure of its surface / its disturbing hollowness really resonated with me. Plus: c’mon,...

tombreihan: Hey, I finally got around to doing another one of these! I seriously meant to do one of these three months ago, and then another one six months ago, I swear. I am, however, a busy dude. There’s only been a few truly great albums so far this year, but there’s been a ton of very good ones. Apologies… Hey look it’s my inspiration for #soundofnow q1 2011! We don’t seem to...
