As we explained in our Revenge Of the Teddybears feature a couple weeks back, we’re big fans of the half-man, half-bear hybrid producers. Finally the Swedish trio release their first official video from their Devil’s Music album — for the single “Cho-Cha”, which features the vocal stylings of Cee-Lo and The B-52’s. The video stars […]

I’m not sure what they infuse their vodka with up in Sweden, but the tiny nation (population under 10 million) churns out more impossibly catchy hitmakers per capita than anywhere else on Earth. From the early days of Abba to the 90s pop dominance of Roxette, Cardigans and Ace of Bass onto the modern indie […]

Conceptual artist Hans-Peter Feldman is important. So important in fact that he was named the recipient of the Hugo Boss Prize last November — a bi-annual award presented to artists who make significant achievements in contemporary art.

The raison d’être of  Blood Bros — a DJ duo comprised of Dirty South Joe and DJA — is simply (and awesomely) to create mixtapes culled from the best 80s action movie and kung fu flick soundtracks. What on Earth is there not to like about that? Sure it’s not as cerebral as, say, Chris […]

We don’t have any more rock stars. Sorry kids, thems the facts. Sure we have plenty of fame-reluctant indie bands floating around, talentless attention-starved pop stars clogging the airwaves, and more than enough material-obsessed rappers to fill the Mall of America, but we don’t have any Rock Stars. You know, guys like David Lee Roth […]
