Pop Culture and Politics on the Artistic Spectrum
You may have already forgotten (good for you) that the "rap rock supergroup" Prophets of Rage formed last year featuring most of Rage Against the Machine/AudioSlave, two members of Public Enemy, and B-Real of Cypress Hill. The amalgamation of middle-aged artists who have never written a good song in their 30+ years in the industry (with the possible exception of… Continue reading Prophets of Rage is a Cringe Masterpiece

The Black Keys--El Camino In this Danger Mouse-produced follow-up to "Brothers," The Black Keys seems to be doing something a little different, and that's great. A few people may see this as a complete transgression from their previous work, but I totally dig it. The Black Keys have an eclectic sound which enables them to… Continue reading What We’re Listening To (12/5/11)
from ImAFreeBtch. This is the latest single from Zowie, a New Zealand pop singer attempting to capitalize on the horrible taste in music that has enveloped the iPod generation. It's incredible that people who actually know music are giving this song any value. I've listened to it twice already, just for the sake of this… Continue reading Another Awful Ke$ha Clone (of the moment)
The atmosphere at Murphy's Tavern in Roxborough is always getting better and more exciting. Trivia night has been going very well and it gets more competitive every week. With prizes ranging from Gift Cards, Free Drink/Food deals, and all different company swag, teams are always bringing their A-Game. We hope to see you all this… Continue reading 8/17/11 Trivia Night at Murphy’s Tavern
from enchain. You can always rely on the British for two things...great music and making sad Americans cry. Good work, Mike.
from LMFAOvevo. Party Rock Anthem ft (who cares?) by LMFAO. Yes, kids, it's the son and grandson of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy! You remember Berry Gordy. Discovered The Miracles, launched the careers of The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, The Commodores, Stevie Wonder, and The Jackson 5? Yeah? Well this is his legacy now:… Continue reading Song for You to Hate (of the moment)
from MrCalEw21. Hard Times by Toy Soldiers from their album "Whisper Down the Lane." Melodic and dance-worthy inner-city modern folk. Hipster swag.
from freelancewhalesmusic. Generator 2nd Floor by Freelance Whales from the album "Weathervanes." A beautiful arrangement of "feel just okay" music for adults who wish they could play instruments like they were back in Kindergarten.
I grew up very religious. I went to christian private school from kindergarden til my Junior year of high-school (which i eventually dropped out of). I was always loud, and obnoxious. I was never afraid to have a good time or voice my opinion (some things never change). I was not really a trouble maker,… Continue reading Life Lessons from Pornstar Madelyn Monroe
Architecture in Helsinki--Moment Bends Fans of this Australian ensemble have been waiting for this album for what feels like an eternity. Then when it finally dropped, it was so under the radar that it took a whole month for me to check it out. Architecture evolves so quickly it would make a Creationist's head spin.… Continue reading What We’re Listening to (May 2011)
It's been an exciting week for indie music. I know! Fucking weird, right? Has there ever been an exciting week in indie music? Unless you count that time your band ran into the guy who does keyboards and loops for TV on the Radio at some shitty venue that he also happened to be playing,… Continue reading What We’re Listening to…(February 2011)
Let's start off with a bit of honesty: I have listened to some pretty shitty music in my time, and I'm sure many of the bands I enjoy, some of you would find objectionable--but that isn't the point. This is a list of bands that I feel that I can make a strong case against;… Continue reading The Top Ten Bands Ruining Music
The First Time I Ever got naked online my whole family passed my photos around (sad but true)! I got over it and continue to nude-up to this day. With the power of a god, I would...HAHAHA you do NOT want to know, let's just say I'd give a few people the inability to speak,… Continue reading Life Lessons from Tita Sin
I know this is long overdue but it's one of those things that you have to do. Like talk to relatives! 2009 has not been the best year for me. In fact, it was quite possibly the worst. Started out with my grandfather passing away (his funeral being the day right before my birthday), my… Continue reading Joe’s Sloppy 2009: Year in Review
I used to like music. Really. I tried to follow all of the newest up-and-coming bands, went to concerts regularly, attempted to stay on top of what music was getting popular. Now I don't give a shit anymore...and here's why. There is a wonderful quote from Kanye West in which he proclaims himself the voice… Continue reading I Lost Interest in Music in 2009: Billboard’s Top 25
I hate when people my age are obviously doing so much more with their lives. It's a difficult personality flaw to accept that not only do I consistently let myself down, but I'm also slightly afraid of success. Well--it's a good thing that Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte (both 24 and both from Boulder, Colorado) have gotten… Continue reading Do You Want to Holler ’til You Pass Out?!
As long as it's a hot topic, let's discuss the actions of Kanye West during the MTV VMA's, shall we? First of all--the actions took place at an award ceremony so ridiculous and unimportant--a locale so prone to spectacle--that its entire title is an acronym. Even in its name, it is screaming, "This is an… Continue reading Celebrity Horseshit: “Nigga Stole My Mic!”
Consider for a moment that just about every human being knows someone who claims to have the capacity to 'rap.' We live for the cringe-worthy moment when this person drinks enough 32oz Smirnoff Ice's that he (or she, but more likely he) decides to prove it. We feel compelled to encourage the poor bastard, while… Continue reading “Depart From Me”–CAGE
For an album that's almost two years old, Oracular Spectacular has certainly gotten an attention overload. If I need to explain to you who MGMT are, you probably aren't a music fan. It's strange and somewhat fishy that a band that has literally been around for (literally) about five years, with multiple chart topping hits,… Continue reading SuperDPS.com–Under New MGMT
Hello, SuperDPS fans. Since this is my first article written for the site, I’d just like to do a quick introduction. My name is Cole, and I will be providing you with some weekly music reviews. Some of these reviews will be specifically suggested by Alex or Dave, others will be very relevant (meaning that… Continue reading Coconut Records’ “DAVY”
It's no secret that we live in a world of excess. The zeitgeist indicates that we are no longer content in simply being good or even great, we need to be better--do more--even if that means dangerously shoving ourselves past the points of logic, common sense, and personal ability. I'd like to focus, for the sake… Continue reading What the Fuck Happened? Actors Turned Musicians
The Resident Evil series has always served to baffle, befiddle and befaddle me; certainly not as much as the Metal Gear series, but enough to cause concern for the future. I don't think I've ever successfully completed a Resident Evil game in the entire series. At the risk of being "gamer'd" to death, the excuse… Continue reading Re5: A Wonderfully Un-Racist Romp Through Scarytown, Africa
Frankly, it blows my mind into what neurosurgeons would refer to as "a tizzy" when I ponder how paradoxically insignificant life can be. I hate to get all philosophical and "sciencey" when attempting to write an article because it usually results in relatively long periods of silent staring, writing pages upon pages of utter nonsense,… Continue reading The Dull Life Outside of the Q Continuum
...but Pretty Much Sucks as a Musician. John Mayer is the coolest person ever. Too bad his music is terrible. I lay out my case below. Why he is Awesome: 1. John Mayer is 6'3. Most people don't know he's this tall, therefore when people do meet him, they often say, "Wow, you're tall!" to… Continue reading Why John Mayer is the Most Awesome Person Ever…
