Wow. Prepare to swoon when you hear Altanta-based Patrick Canaday’s debut single “Moons.” I did. The track has a dim, neon-tinted swing that’s roughed at the edges, flickering...
“Intriguing” is a great word to describe not just the tingling, polyrhythmic sounds of Brooklyn-by-way-of-Gainesville four-piece Conveyor, but the band itself. The band formed not long ag...
I turned 29 this weekend, and it still feels weird to say that. I’m not sure when it happens, but sometime in your twenties, you start forgetting your age. People will ask you how old you are, ...
It’s almost down to the wire, but there was no way I’d miss the chance to release our May 2012 mix. After all, I’ve uncovered far too much great new music for me not to share it. Fo...
As fog-dwelling San Franciscans, Kasey and I are huge fans of the California Academy of Science. The amazing museum sits just a few blocks from us in Golden Gate Park and includes a stunning aquarium...
Since I’ve started this blog I’ve seen far too many promising young artists who don’t know how to self edit, foolishly over-saturating the market with subpar material and, as a resu...
Everything starts anew. Year after year that I live in San Francisco, I am reminded that the fog will roll in right around my birthday. And I will overdose on peaches. I revisit the trails, mountains...
For a relatively new artist without a debut record to his name, Frank Ocean certainly has managed to attract a lot of attention. Unfortunately, it’s not all been good. For example, he’s a...
Grand Resort is the project of Dominican Republic-born multi-instrumentalist Andrés Pichardo. Pichardo initially made his way to the States to study at a school in Massachusetts where he recorded the...
I’ve always been a fan of The Rolling Stones’ tune “Ruby Tuesday.” So after watching Arcade Fire perform the track alongside Mick Jagger for the Kristen Wiig farewell on SNL, ...
I just got back from a whirlwind business trip to New York City, so I’m just getting into the swing of things (this morning was a rough wakeup call!). For today’s recipe, you’ll hav...
Philadelphia-based Night Panther are serious about bringing the sexy back to upbeat indie pop. Or at least it would seem that way based on their debut single. Without a doubt, “Snudge” is...
The track “Untitled(LovedU)2″ ; from Blu’s 2009 album HerFavoriteColo(u)r doesn’t just sample Radiohead’s “You and Whose Army?”, the track is the very foundati...
I was introduced to the music of Edmonton-based producer Thomas Michael, who records music under the nom de plume Ghibli, via a post by the always awesome Tim of Smoke Don’t Smoke. What struck ...
To love a city is to get involved in a complicated relationship. It means to persevere in the face of inconveniences — stairs and cobblestones, small aisle ways and laundromats. The thrill of city li...
I won’t front. I think Oasis’ “Wonderwall” is a pretty damn good song. And by “pretty damn good,” I mean that it’s one of the best and catchiest pop rock son...
I owe you an apology. Los Angeles’ producer Danny Choi emailed me his simmering, minimalist groove “Blow” back at the very end of March. It was love at first listen. I take my job o...
A few months ago, my friend Danielle and I decided to come together for a creative collaboration. I had written a little essay about food, music and the life that Matt and I share together, and we th...
1. Rhubarb Mojito by Ashley from Not Without Salt 2. Flower arrangement by Studio Choo 3. Dress by Emerson Fry 4. Croque Monsieur French Toast Bake, prepared by Jewels of New York, photograph via Sun...
I’ve been toying around with ideas for a new ongoing series here on Turntable Kitchen for some time now, but I’ve not been sure what format that would take. I’ve also been looking f...
It can be easy to forget that rock ‘n roll originated as the mutant offspring of the blues. With a few exceptions (such as The Black Keys) that blues influence is either missing or completely obscure...
The American Analog Set has been extremely quiet lately (as in: they haven’t released an album in seven years). But it wasn’t always that way. Songwriter Andrew Kenny formed the Austin, T...
We women are constantly reminding each other that we support one another. We welcome and share each other’s ideas. We compliment each other on our clothing choices and haircuts. We boast about ...
Blackstreet was formed in 1991 by singer producer Teddy Riley. Interestingly, Riley named the group by combining the names of two of his original group members, Chauncy Black (a.k.a. Chauncy Hannibal...
When you live in California, sometimes you feel hours behind everyone else. Weirdly, we watch a recording of the ball dropping in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, instead of our own. The sun let...
Brooklyn-by-way-of-San Francisco trio Lemonade have already proven themselves adept at both short-order improvisation and eclectic synthesization. Indeed, mere weeks after the trio formed drummer Ale...
Los Angeles, California-based Wildcat! Wildcat! consists of Jesse Taylor, Michael Wilson and Jesse Carmichael. Apparently, the trio have been playing together since they were 14, a claim supported by...
Ender Belongs To Me is an enigmatic experimental-pop duo hailing from Brooklyn that weave together ebullient and highly textured sound collages. Their latest offering is the Memory EP which was recor...
Shortcuts. We’re all looking for an easier, faster, more convenient way to do things. Whether it’s communication (hello, Twitter and Facebook on your mobile phone), creation (auto mode on...
There are some artists whose names are total head scratchers for me. Broken Social Scene (a band I adore) fits that category. The name distorted my expectation of their music. I expected something mo...
