"Before" by Washed Out

There's a reason why this album got so much hype last year, and right now it is currently my homework soundtrack. However, every time I get to this song, I start dancing! I smell the judgement allll up in this library but guess who doesn't care? Yeah. This girl. 

Crystal Castles Release New Video

"Haunting fashion" may be the theme of this video for "Suffocation" off Crystal Castles second album. Directed by their beat maker, the video was shot at an abandoned mansion in New York. Personally, I think Alice Glass looks pretty boss. Check out the video here.

Holy Incredible Gotye Cover

5 people playing one guitar? This is just insane.

Willis Earl Beal

SPIN named him one of the Top 5 artists of February 2012 and I agree 100%. Willis Earl Beal will be on tour this spring with SBTRKT so be sure to catch him live! Here's "Evening Kisses" followed by the a capella version of "Wavering Lines."

Bon Iver Not Performing at the Grammys

With four huge grammy nominations and a highly-anticipated performance on SNL this week, Bon Iver is just all the rage. But there seems to be another sort of rage people are buzzing about- the rage frontman Justin Vernon got in when talking about being asked to perform at the Grammys: 


"We wanted to play our music, but were told that we couldn't play. We had to do a collaboration with someone else... we're getting nominated for this record that we made... and all of a sudden we were being asked to play music that had nothing to do with that. We kind of said 'fuck you' a little bit and they sort of acted like they wanted us to play, but I don't think they wanted us to play."  

Vernon refused to tell Billboard who they were suggested to collaborate with, but he did state that they're "awesome people" and that he would love to play a song with them. However, he continued, saying "But you know what? Fuckin' rock n' roll should not be decided by people that have that job. Rock n' roll should be the fucking people with guitars around their backs."


To be honest, I'm still not sure how I feel about this... all I know is that I certainly hope Vernon doesn't kiss his mother with those lips.
