Matt Meola - Innersection Final

Holy sh*t. Coconuts. This is just absurd. Curt Morgan and the boys over at Brain Farm (That's It, That's All, The Art of Flight) put this little nugget together and it is the future. Nobody comes close in production to Brain Farm. Not even close. I'm slightly speechless. Just watch. Bonkers. Kudos to Curt, and Matt for that matter. Together they have made fire.

Pretty Lights - Empire State of Mind - Remix

So this is too easy. It's too simple. Tony CoffeeCakes put it best, it's almost embarrassing to post it because it seems too easy. Why didn't I know about this sooner? Why didn't anyone do this sooner? Is this a layup? Is it just too simple to even be worthy of a post? Well, it's worthy. And for whatever reason it's only fitting that it gets dropped on the anniversary of that fateful night when Biggie was taken down in Los Angeles, 14 years to the day. Not incredibly new, but not incredibly old. Just when you thought you were done hearing the New York anthem which has seemingly been on loop in every Impala and Honda that rolls by you on the street, it gets a rework from our boy Pretty Lights, who is quickly becoming the go to hip hop impresario. It's so simple, yet so  effective. I don't really need to say much else other than Rest In Peace Biggie, you are still missed.

Tennis Played The Bell House Last Night

So Tennis played the Bell House last night, which, in my humble opinion is the best music venue in New York. It's tiny, maybe holds 250 people and there is not a bad spot in the house. Their story is an interesting one. A married Colorado couple decides to sail the East Coast for 7 months together and strike out on an adventure. They come home, and decide they should write some songs about it. They produce an album and give it to some friends, the album blows up, and they are a band. Their sound is a mix of the Beach Boys meets the Cranberries meets I'm not quite sure what. But it works, and its good. Light, airy, whimsical, and fun, they put on a great show. And showed no signs of how new to this they really are. Check out the live taping from the Bowery Ballroom over at NYC Taper

Introducing Saigon - The Greatest Story Never Told

Talk about art imitating life. Or vice versa. I don't even know where to begin. Hi Saigon. I remember you from Entourage?? Yep. Apparently Turtle's ticket out is the real deal. And while I cringed when I heard who this guy is, just like I'm sure you're doing, he's actually good. He's got great flow and beats to back it. Thanks to the Negotiator on this one. Good looks. Listen up:
