In this AMAZING video, three elderly people give a song by Young Jeezy a pass then tear “My Girls” by Animal Collective to shreds. I wish my mom (grandma?) loved hip-hop the way this woman does doesn’t does. But guy on the right, Thin Mints? It’s ALL about the Tagalongs baby. While your taste in… Continue reading Old people hate on Animal Collective
Mother Mother
In response to The Scarlet Ending’s Kaleena Goldsworthy (much thanks to her) listing a Mother Mother song (“Hayloft”) as tops on her current playlist, I decided now would be a perfect time to discuss the brilliant five-piece from Vancouver, Canada. A bit more of a dynamic Mates of State (and with 3 more members…), Mother… Continue reading Mother Mother
Sufjan’s Illinoise gets remixed like whoa (Outkast, Aesop Rock, more!)
Awesome news from Paste: Montreal-based producer Tor is gunning for the King of Unlikely Samples title with his new, free mixtape, Illinoize, which mixes Sufjan Stevens with Outkast, Brother Ali, Aesop Rock and Big Daddy Kane, amongst others.

Rod Thomas
A SXSW performer, playing March 18, 20 and 21, who I unfortunately left out of my mini-series: Rod Thomas, singer/songwriter out of the UK, not to be confused with Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20.
