Are You High o r Are They High?

Since I'm trying to branch out again from too much hip-hop, I thought I'd introduce you to some special music. I say special because they had to have been on something while making it or you feel like you're high because you're listening to it. And I don't mean that "high on life" kinda thing.

The first band is Animal Collective. They're pretty tame, but listen to their song "Unsolved Mysteries" and you'll think you're going around in a haunted carousel. It kind of reminds me of something that would have been in the movie "Across the Universe." www.myspace.com/animalcollectivetheband

The other band is The Bug. He is based in London and I don't even know what you'd call his music. I was just thrown off. It's a cacophony of sounds with some language I've never heard. Check it out.haha www.myspace.com/thebuguk

I love Rolling Stone

I dove into my latest issue of Rolling Stone and was elated with the content. If you've already read this issue you might as well skip this post because I'm going to give you a run down of the wonderfulness I found. 1. This isn't music related, but they had a great feature story about Hulk Hogan. 

2. For all you pirates out there, beware! There's this thing out there called Web Sheriff.  They only have a staff of 20, according to the article, and they are hired by artists to search for their content online. The article mentions 3 big groups: Animal Collective, Van Morrison, and Prince. So if you have any content like photos, interviews, etc the sheriff may be contacting you. I tried to find their other clients but I couldn't. Here's what they offer:

3. There is a bill being proposed to stop scalping concert tickets. New York Senator Charles Schumer wants true fans to be able to have the chance of buying tickets for the best seats...no more scalpers please.

4. The ad for Bonnaroo caught my eye. Who wants to go? I'm saying we go on a road trip to TN. Some performers:

- janelle monae, rodrigo y gabriela, girl talk, erykah badu, beastie boys, snoop, vieux farka toure, raphael saadiq

I'm so excited!

5. The "From the Vault" section kinda scares me because it's from 1994 and I remember every song. Does that mean I'm getting old. 

Go out and get the issue. It's great!
