The Death Set x Win Win Tour Well I wish I wasn’t such a wuss when it came to taking a risk, but sometimes I just gotta look at the big picture. So with that said, all my favorite people are jumping in a van together and going on tour. The Death Set (@TheDeathSet) and Win Win (@TheWinWinThree) both have excellent new albums out and will be kicking major nards all over the country. One of...

DJ Anonymous: The Planet Doesn't Mind Mix
Recommended Listening / DJ Mix The dude Anonymous really keeps my life going in good spirits with the damn mixtapes he keeps sending out. I still can’t take Quiet Storm out of my phone and now this one will be joining the ranks.

DJ Orion: Moombounce EP
Recommended Listening / New Music The homie DJ Orion (@Dj_orion) has yet to drop this officially, so this is kind of a sneak peak for those that don’t follow the circular DJ blog world.

Yadira Brown: When They Run (prince klassen remix)
Recommended Listening / Free DL Austin based hot girl Yadira Brown (@coraverde) posted this track on her Soundcloud last week some time and once I heard it I asked for the stems. I decided to have a go at a remix of sorts and this is what we get. I am pretty happy with it and I think she feels the same way. Be sure to peep her band L.A.X. when they perform next time around. Short and...

Allmusic Loves 1985
Recommended Reading / Music Lists Allmusic is one of the greatest sources for music research and I love when they touch on the past. The newest year in the “Loves” series is 1985, and though I was just two years of age at the time, I would much rather find out about new old stuff than new new stuff. You must learn.

A Wild Sheep Chase: In Search of Haruki Murakami
Recommended Watching / Documentary After years of friends telling me about the latest Murakami book they read, I decided to dip my toe in the water to see what all the fuss was about. I started with The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and was immediately sucked into a new world that ran parallel with a lot of things going on in my life as well as a good friend’s. His writing to me is the literary...

Film + Music: Yo La Tengo's Georgia Hubley Picks...
I think it goes without saying that an artist is always an artist. Their outlet is their option, but does not necessarily mean they are forever bound to one idea and process. Film and music have always held a special place amongst myself and friends. Though I have been slacking on keeping up with independent films, I manage to keep afloat enough to hold a conversation well. With the release...

Fool’s Gold X LTD Holiday Party 2010 Catchdubs sent me the links to the videos I shot and edited for Fool’s Gold today. I never know if they got posted, but apparently they did! This holiday party was out of control packed and it was a hard thing to shoot since it was literally a swaying crowd shoulder to shoulder type thing. Most of the footage I shot, but can’t take credit...

There Ain't No Forgettin: Deana & Ed Templeton
Daytripper / Austin Art Happenings I was lucky to catch this while in Austin for SXSW. Smalltown Pete (@smalltownpete) & myself were walking over to the Fader Fort as I glimpsed over to see a mutual friend of ours hanging inside of Domy. We walked in, said hello, and I quickly bolted to their gallery space not knowing what was showing. The show was of Deana and Ed Templeton’s photos...
