Interviewing House Music’s Favorite Witch: DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ By Henry Holcomb Putting on DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ for the first time transports you across time. Blending disco and synth with the sounds of soundtracks that dominated pop culture in early 2000s media, DJ Sabrina takes house music in a new direction. Often […]
In the KRLX music department we get to listen to a lot of great music… but we also come across the bad and the ugly. Each week we will highlight the worst music we can find with our new series: ‘Cringe Pick of the Week’. This week we’re bringing to you ‘Sizzle’ by Electrohoney. <p><br
1) CD, “Put Danger back into Your Life” by Folksongs for the Afterlife This poetic and lyrical prog-rock group’s style is simultaneously calming and exciting. I found it by chance but keep going back to capture more of its essence of human experience. 2) LP, “Boston,” Boston. This rock classic is one of the
Spend a few weeks exploring Minneapolis’s music scene and you’ll likely discover that indie tape labels are a thriving – or drowning, depending on who you ask – trade, with what feels like millions of labels and a handful of often great music stores peddling them, to boot. Pytch is one that might top my
“Grabbing onto whatever’s around / For the soaring high or the crushing down” -Elliott Smith, “2:45 AM” His blue body was stiff long before it happened— a slice between bone, no hesitation. The case is cold but to me he’ll always be a sad man in a big house in Echo
Hi, this is Yumo. I’m writing articles hoping to talk about films from different countries around the world. I hope after reading this, you will want to take a look at the movie or give me some feedback. But it’s totally fine if you decide to close this halfway… For this first article, I decided
We at The Bucket encourage everybody to educate themselves on systemic racism in the U.S. and beyond, as well as antiracist strategies and ways to support BIPOC artists and creators. Though there are a wealth of these resources available online, we have compiled a brief list of resources dealing specifically with supporting BIPOC content creators.
by Daniel Kupetsky (posted by Julian Szieff) Content warning: discussion of suicidal ideation themes By like my second or third listen of Everything Now, Arcade Fire’s apparently super uncool and out-of-touch newest album, something about it really clicked for me. Even though I didn’t consider many of the individual songs to be all that memorable,
Palm trees, movies, surfin’, and skatin’; symbols of a city of wealth in the oasis that is Los Angeles. From Point Break to 500 Days of Summer there are some images of the city of Angels which forever stuck in the popular consciousness. The combination of year round warmth and the largest movie industry in
No, this post is not about La La Land. Instead, I bring your attention to Sing Street, the third movie-musical directed by John Carney. Following Once and Begin Again, Sing Street has many of the same elements that made the first two films successful, but it’s most noticeable departure is it’s heavy play into nostalgia.
It is with great pleasure that I introduce to the world a newly surfaced track from Deerhunter entitled, “Faded Frontier.”
Instead of working on comps, I decided to make a Valentine’s Day mix of some of my favorite songs about love or at least songs that I associate with love. Tracklist: The Durutti Column – Sketch For Summer Arthur Russell – A Little Lost Sonya Spence – Let Love Flow On Broken Social Scene –
(but not as brief as you might think) Since regrettably few female electronic music producers are given due recognition, I thought I would compile a list of my favorites, new and old. In chronological order: DELIA DERBYSHIRE Delia Derbyshire was an English experimental electronic musician, active starting in the ’60s. After earning a degree in
For the past few years it seemed inevitable, but now we can finally say it: the 90’s are back. Choker necklaces are now an appropriate choice of accessory, loose shift dresses that, let’s be honest are really just night gowns or slips, have graced the runways, and denim and denim has become more than just
I am very unabashedly in love with Childish Gambino and have been with him since his pre-Camp days. I’ve seen his progression from sad, nerdy, joke rapper to seriously depressed, serious musician, and have loved him the whole way through (okay I was pretty skeptical of Royalty for like four years). Anyway, here is a
In today’s world, it’s pretty much a given that the charts are going to be dominated by songs in English. Sometimes the occasional Spanish or French song will pop up but for the most part English is what’s in. For that reason, music in other languages, especially German, has been overlooked. No one really thinks
Hi KRLX listeners! I knew you were wondering what the KRLX staff has been listening to in recent weeks, so I made a listicle of some of my preferred cuts from good ol 16. Walk to the one you love – twin peaksthese goofballs keep churning out excellent 60s inspired bad-boy rockhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzTQJq1lrMALife of pause – wild
I’m a firm believer that disco and house are criminally underplayed at college parties. While I may love Drake as much as the next guy, I’d like to hear some more variety. If you’re feeling particularly confident (or particularly drunk) the next time you find yourself with an aux cord at a party, here are
When most people think of the Carter Family they usually think of June Carter Cash, and if they are particularly savvy they recall that they first popularized many songs that Woody Guthrie would go on to rewrite—‘When the World’s on Fire’ became ‘This Land is Your Land’ and ‘Jesse James’ became ‘Jesus Christ’. While these
Over this past summer I lived at home in a Chicago suburb north of the city. Each morning I rode the Metra into the city for work. As the train stopped at each suburb, a flock of old pressed suits boarded with their briefcases and their coffee. They found their seats and chatted with their
