It’s been a week now since the beginning of this year’s SMMR BMMR, the appropriate time needed to wind down from such an exhausting event. Most of us probably didn’t catch the show from start to finish each day (yours truly included), but even in drifting in and out of the 40+bands playing, one [...]

holy shit, my mind is just absolutely blown away with how fast and furious Chase & Status have mixed so many new dubstep and drum & bass banger tracks into just five minutes. Yes, this Annie Mac Radio 1 mix isn’t something new, it’s over a year old, but it’s new to me, as [...]

This year Cass McCombs released his latest album Catacombs to much deserved fanfare. The album is great, but allow me to be the first to say it’s no where near as good as his last few. Seemingly gone is his sense of experimentalism, traded for a poppier attitude in both music and meaning. [...]

I actually wanted to buy this track, and attempted to do so through amazon.com, but they informed me that I wasn’t allowed to because of “geographical restrictions.” And it wasn’t anywhere in the blogosphere.   So i tracked down Akala’s album as a torrent, and I’m releasing his track Shakespeare since I’ve been obsessed with [...]

The very confusingly titled SMMR BMMR festival is happening this weekend at Rotture, and I’m far from bummed. Boasting probably the most pretentious line-up of any festival this year, SMMR BMMR proves to be the hippest place on earth this coming weekend. Hip for a reason however, as the artists they’ve brought together [...]

I had forgotten this about Bobby Birdman, but the man loves to talk. He may not say anything in particular, or anything particularly interesting, but to him it seemingly doesn’t matter so long as he’s talking. Maybe it’s a nervous thing, or his way of reaffirming his ability to vocalize. Regardless, any [...]

MusicFest North West exists in a realm between two of the biggest city-wide festivals of the year. While Austin’s SXSW kicks the summer off with essentially every artist you could ever want to see playing multiple times, New York’s CMJ offers a similar set of shows across its vast city. MusicFest North West, [...]

2009 marks the first year FuckBadMusic will branch out as far as Red Rocks, Colorado to bring you coverage of one of the most beautiful American summer festivals. Maybe this will become an annual thing for us. Maybe we’re going to hate it!? But with a line-up like the one Monolith is [...]

One of the most amazing voices these ears have ever heard is performing tonight at Rotture. Bobby Birdman’s Heart Caves is my favorite example of judging an album by its art. I always saw that cover art at Ozone East (R.I.P.) and one day my curiosity got the best of me. Despite [...]
