. Usually, I’m all over anything DJ Shadow touches like a drunken sorority chick, but this one I just can’t get behind. Teaming up with Reebok and Shoe Biz, the limited edition sneaker features the “What Does Your Soul Look Like” logo on the back — but that’s about as fancy as it gets. I […]


It is a sad day in Los Angeles radio — naye, LA music — as Indie 103 shuttered its broadcast airwaves. It’s truly a bummer, and I guess we all should’ve seen it coming, as LA has it had far too good for far too long (as compared to the rest of the country). What […]


We’ve been watching Squeak E. Clean DJ here in LA for about ever, but his teaming up with DJ Zegon as N.A.S.A. (North America South America) has been a quantum leap in their careers.

According to his PR: Rapper Asher Roth and his band were the ones who tackled the bomb scare person at LAX a few hours ago on their plane!  Asher and […]


I guess this is the inevitable Brave New Jobsian World. The Predictive Sentence Technology is the best… “The apple was consumed by the amicable crocodile…”


The new Eminem, Dr Dre & 50 Cent track “Crack a Bottle” is out and…uh…eh. All 3 of these guys have had their days in the sun, owned their empires, and like the Brits have seen these rap empires crumble. Sure, they’re all still richer than Dick Cheney in a Costa Rican whorehouse, but honestly […]
