March 25, 2010, at 6:31 am

Ever wonder which metro line you travel when it comes to your taste in Rock n’ Roll? I haven’t either… However, it seems, the whole subway/metro line infographic trend works as a visual analogy for an endless amount of categories and genres. This time applied to Rock n’ Roll.

We Are Hunted is an all new Online Music Chart. They aggregate social networks, forums, music blogs, Torrents, P2P Networks and Twitter to develop a daily chart of the 99 most popular songs online.

I have just started to crack open this Portland based music-video-podcast-episode conglomerate and I’m pretty blown away already. The footage has an honest and raw/real feel to it that really helps to set the tone of each unique space (grocery stores, carpet storefronts…) [...]

Dust’s Selects – King Khan and the Shrines, Phantom Planet and The Redwalls

February 2, 2009, at 6:19 pm

The older you get the tougher it gets to stumble upon great new music. At least for me (and no, I’m not that old). I do have less time to hang out at the record store or surf Myspace and Pitchforkmedia.com because of my hobbyist photography habit, recording weird music habit, riding my bike [...]
