Via Stereogum: Rumors have been circulating for a while now of a new album by Kanye West — who’s only released the collaborative efforts Watch the Throne (with Jay-Z) and Cruel Summer (as head of G.O.O.D. Music) since his 2010 magnum opus My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy stole our hearts, ran away with our charts, and swept the critics’ 2010… Read More
Radioland, I’m here to tell you something that may come as quite a surprise: Boston actually has a music scene, despite what bands like Aerosmith, the Dropkick Murphys or Guster do for the city’s reputation. All one has to do is peep this summer’s city-wide assortment of incredible live acts to legitimize such a claim…. Read More
In a piece of hip-hop news even weirder than that time last summer when Snoop Dogg died and Snoop Lion rose like a rastafoenix from his ashes, rapper Sean Combs, aka Diddy, better known to most by former noms du rap P Diddy (to those born in the early ’90s) and/or Puff Daddy (to everyone older than… Read More

Yet another weird development for a band with one of the least predictable stories out there: three former members of the now-dissolved, tragically short-lived British rock band/cult/gang of hooligans/peddlers of transcendental experience WU LYF (standing for “World United Lucifer Youth Foundation”) have regrouped and formed Los Porcos, a self-described yacht rock band whose terrible name… Read More

I’m gonna say it: one… Read More
