KILLER AUDIO: LAURA WELSH: “LET ME GO LONDON”
Totally #songoftheday worthy, but I already posted a song of the day today and I’m so excited about it that I don’t want to wait until tomorrow to post it!

#songoftheday = WISE PROOF: “MORE MORE MORE MORE”
To be honest, I’m surprised that I’m really digging Wise Proof’s “More More More More,” since it’s obviously very much in the trap vein and I’ve had just about all the trap I can stomach. (To me, trap was a cool new sound for about five minutes then it all started sounding the same.) Perhaps…

REVIEW / INTERVIEW: RORIE KELLY AT SOMEONE’S HOUSE 3/26/16
Last month fell in love with Long Island indie artist Rorie Kelly’s awesome new album Rising Rising Rising, which is why I recently brought you an exclusive interview with her. Following that, Rorie invited me to a concert she was doing, which was to be held in someone’s house. You see, Rorie crowd funded Rising…

A Conversation with Adam Jensen (Exclusive Interview)
On March 4, 2016 I interviewed Adam Jensen, a Boston native whose debut single, the deliciously dark, alt pop “Sandcastles,” was recently one of our #songoftheday selections. The only other track of his that I’d heard was his forthcoming second single, “Ritual,” which is even more amazing. Normally, I wouldn’t interview someone I’d only heard…

An Exclusive Interview with Adiam
Interview by Michael McCarthy Sweden’s Adiam makes delicous, dark pop that splits the difference between Lykki Li and Marina and The Diamonds, having the starkness of the former and the insanely catchy beats of the latter. Or perhaps she’s better described as Fiona Apple meets Little Boots, melding Fiona’s tormented and vengeful lyrics with Boots’…

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: ZELOOPERZ: BOTHIC
Detroit rapper ZelooperZ — who was born in the 313 and still resides there — is part of Danny Brown’s Bruiser Brigade. Interestingly, they connected via Twitter when the 6’7″ ZelooperZ was promoting a mixtape like crazy and Brown took notice. But before Brown took him into the studio he gave him a proper initiation by…

Exclusive Interview: Naomi Suzuki of AJ Unity Fame
I recently discovered the wonderful music of AJ Unity, a duo consisting of Naomi Suzuki and Philipp Moll, who make music that blends traditional Japanese instruments with shades of pop and new age. It’s very calming music, which I imagine you could meditate to. I’ve found it especially relaxing and perfect to listen to while…

An Exclusive Interview with HXLT, Formerly Hollywood Holt
HXLT is how Chicago’s eclectic musician Holt is spelling his name these days. The reason why is one of the few things I didn’t think to ask him about, but I imagine it’s to make you wonder how it’s supposed to be said, to get you thinking, to ultimately make you remember it. In any…

#songoftheday = ADAM JENSEN: “SANDCASTLES”
Later this year Boston born Adam Jensen will release an EP and I’m very excited about it after hearing his just released, red hot single, “Sandcastles.” It’s a pristine blend of thought-provoking alt pop and serious electro that packs gentle acoustic guitars with sonorous beats that stomp all over you, resulting in one uber-catchy tune.

#songoftheday = DAVID LEE ROTH: “AIN’T NO CHRISTMAS”
When David Lee Roth unveiled this thought provoking acoustic song on his online Roth Show, which we’d never heard of before, the internet went wild with speculation, everyone thinking it was his farewell to Van Halen. But David finally chimed in and said that it’s just poetry. So, keep that in mind and rest assured…
Thank you for your comment. I don’t know what to think about Marilyn Manson and the Evan Rachel Wood thing…
I met Marilyn Manson twice. I was probally 24? Blonde hair and skinny. He had someone film each one of…
