post thumbnail

A delicately crafted hybrid of ethereal folk and airy drone, Gainesville-based trio Hear Hums can inspire a million magical daydreams with its entrancing soundscapes: samples of chanting, field recordings, antique instruments, and accompanying psychedelic visuals; it’s a haunting, layered combination that’s been done often, but not usually this well.

post thumbnail

What do you see when you gaze into the rippling, babbling, lush-and-beefy orange pectoral muscles of Carlos Alvarez?

I won’t waste time detailing what the Bikini Basketball Association is, since you’ve probably already seen posts announcing its impending debut on any number of click-hungry websites. All you need to know is that (1) the Bikini Basketball Association (the official website of which is set to launch in 22 days) is the latest in [...]

post thumbnail

The release of Fiona Apple’s fourth album, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do, was a reminder to people like me — people who love her visible combination of emotional fortitude and fragility — of what she was like [...]
