5 Deep Thoughts About This Year's Festivities

Sure, Coachella 2009 kicked off a week ago today but we here at LIAS have been busy, in case you haven’t noticed. Anyway, another epic weekend has blown by us again with a flash of desert heat and a searing blast of sonic noize, and all that remains are the pixels in our camera chips, […]


Ok, few things have me excited as the upcoming project from producers extraordinaire Diplo and Switch‘s new creation. They’ve been hard at work on this for awhile, spending time holed up in Kingston, Jamaica studios (including Tuff Gong) with various dancehall artists (Vybz Cartel, Ward 21, Fambo, Busy Signal) creating alter ego Major Lazer — […]

As already noted, for awhile SOV was on the verge of becoming unlistenable to me — she just irritated the hell outta me. But then I heard the new album, […]
