From the second I saw this man who looked frighteningly similar to my brother wearing a fur coat and riding a razor scooter with a lady on each arm like he was rolling in a Bentley, I knew he was something special. Initially I assumed he was making a mockery of the industry and […]

In the early 16th century Francesco Berni wrote a manuscript entitled Opere burlesche. This is the first time in recorded history that any root of the word, burlesque, had been used. During the 17th century in England the word became synonymous with the grotesque imitation of the dignified or pathetic. What a bunch of uptight […]
BE WARNED!!! THIS ARTICLE MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK It was the best of times, it was the end of times. This summer delivered to the big screen a cornucopia of mayhem and there’s no denying that the apocalypse has been the new black for the past four months. Some films were fantastic […]

Something about my southern upbringing makes me a sucker for almost anything with an acoustic guitar. While I’m not going out of my way to listen to the hottest new country hits by Luke Bryan, there’s a certain amount of familiarity that I feel anytime an album revolves around a lead acoustic guitar, bringing back […]
This past summer brought amazing acts into Houston. Bands and performers that typically turn to Austin all seemed to seize the city at once. With so many shows and festivals like Free Press Summer Fest taking our city by storm, it was a challenge to keep up with it all. While FPSF 2013 was an […]
Just for “funsies,” here’s Gogol Bordello’s KEXP’s performance of “My Companjera” cause I figured that since I had a fun night, y’all should, too — or at the very least allow yourself four minutes of carefree reprieve from the first two weeks of school stress.
Lately, I’ve caught myself staying up way later than usual for reasons unbeknownst to me, and during these nights, I usually listen to mellowed-out tunes and watch performances found on YouTube. Now, we all know of Bon Iver or Bonny Bear as he was he was briefly known to most on Twitter; we also know […]

Big Mello was one of biggest names to ever churn out widely-accepted album releases during the late 90’s, and while he did spit some heavy Southside flows, “The Gift”—arguably his best foot forward—proved that Curtis Donnell Davis also had a slice of R&B groove in him. Fast forward to today’s generation and we see that […]

Check out the music video for Swedish electro-pop duo Karl X Johan‘s “Flames,” which won a Swedish Grammy for best music video a while back. I’m kind of obsessed and mesmerized by the whole thing so much so that I can’t convey how I feel except for that it is eye candy. So if you’re craving […]
Yes. Carolina Liar. I know. Let’s turn back time and revisit our girly high school days and think about how we appreciated and enjoyed this album for a moment. I remember back when it was released in 2008, I would listen to this album on repeat and foolishly (and oddly) let my soul-sista flag fly, […]
Coming home to a bag full of fame can either be a joyful bliss or a ghastly nightmare and it could have very well been both for Odd Future Wolf Gang’s top lyricist Earl Sweatshirt, who returned to state grounds after having been sent away to the Samoan Islands for therapy and soul searching. About […]
