Concert Review: The Very Best/Javelin @ DC 9 – 11/2/09
It’s truly the simplest of pleasures in the universe that evoke the greatest appreciation. It is by this statement that we define the success that was The Very Best’s completely sold out tour stop with Javelin at DC 9 on Monday evening. The Very Best, which takes the dark, gritty ghetto electro remixing of Radioclit [...]

New Music: Chauffeur (Mark Ronson, Sam Sparro & Theophilus London)
Chauffeur – Soles Of Fire [Audio clip: view full post to listen] So from the looks of it, Chauffeur, the new “group” consisting of Mark Ronson, Sam Sparro & Theophilus London seems like bait for bloggers like me to instantly crown them as the next big thing. Well, I’m taking said bait (sort of) because [...]

Review: The Gossip at 9:30 Club, Washington, DC
Review by Michela Wariebi. Photos by Lady Glock. Please Support. No one likes to admit that they like gossip. And prior to October 7, 2009 I would vehemently support that statement. That was the night that I was introduced to the melange of a band that is Gossip. Fronted by Beth Ditto, the indie rock [...]
Live: Mayer Hawthorne at DC9, Washington, DC
Photos By Jati Lindsay. Please Support. Mayer Hawthorne is the most unassuming guy in the room. While the openers Buff 1 and 14k were on stage, Mr. Hawthorne sat quietly in the back, observing the sold-out crowd at Washington’s DC9. With his vintage 50s ERA frames and a build that looks a bit too much [...]
Live: Dres of the Black Sheep/Tanya Morgan and the Food Chain Collective at LIV, 10/8/09
Photos by Neil Maclean. Please support. If I didn’t look out of the window onstage at Washington, DC’s Liv during the performances at the hip hop extravaganza Thursday night and closed my eyes, I could’ve sworn it was 1990 instead of 2009. Instead, I looked out of the window briefly, and saw streets laden with [...]
Recap: Talib Kwlei, Hi-Tek are Reflection Eternal at the Manifesto Festival, Toronto
Beautiful Photos by Philippe N, aka Star P. Please support. Before Reflection Eternal hit the stage on Sunday, Toronto MC Tona performed giving the crowd some of his grimey, Detroit style flavor. DJ Scratch of the Roots was a highlight, his beatboxing/sampling/drum kit mashups got everyone energized. Afterwards Torontonian Colin Munroe did a set, perhaps [...]

Review: Exile- Radio Bonus (Free Download)
Download: Exile – Radio Bonus On this latest remix effort from Exile, there are some hits and misses. Now the purpose of a remix album is sometimes to be a little more experimental in nature, but since the original “Radio” contained so many samples, this remix seemed a bit excessive. Throughout this album there was [...]
Single Review:Eternia and MoSS-”The Half”
The Half by Eternia “The Half” is actually unique; that simple statement speaks volumes of the lyricist behind this single, Eternia. The rapper, originally from Toronto and now in New York, Eternia teamed up with Toronto producer MoSS in order to create her fourth and most recent full-length release, At Last. Throughout At Last MoSS [...]
REVIEW: Rick Ross – Teflon Don
Rick Ross feat. Kanye West – Live Fast, Die Young [Audio clip: view full post to listen] After being publicly outed as a corrections officer, having 50 Cent vow, then try his damnedest to “ruin your life, for fun,” and shooting one of the most ridiculous rap videos of all time for “Magnificent,” in which [...]
Headphone Review: V-Moda Crossfade LP
Let’s face it. Your $9 earbuds from Radio Shack are becoming obsolete. But that’s a good thing. We spend so much time listening to music that we sometimes forget how valuable headphones are to the musical experience. And the high-end headphone market–once reserved for audiophiles and recording studios–has taken off. First there were the Dres. [...]
