Theo Parrish of 3Chairs at DEMF07
In a one-question interview with moodmat this week, Theo Parrish offers a heavy, if reductive, look at the music industry color balance. Although some readers will no doubt take issue at the super-simplified picture he paints of American pop (what, no brown people?) his fundamental idea is worth grabbing onto […]

Already hyped as “the new Star Wars kid” and “the next Tron Guy” by peeps in the know, Halo Kid mania is on the rise.
Using only cardboard and packing tape, the Halo Kid achieves an astonishing level of detail in his work. To date, he has crafted all of the weapons in Halo 3 and […]

If anyone knows where I can find this […]

Don Omar at Fenway Park, 5 July 2008
This week’s installment of Translation Nation is dedicated to el rey (de melodrama), Don Omar. The king put on quite a dynamic performance at Boston’s Latino Family Festival; inadvertently clowning Luny Tunes for their lame no-show from the weekend before. He […]

Everyone wanted to know, “Will he play it?”
And there you go !
Zombie’s set was cool. Loops dropping in on each other with some particularly ill moments of noisy feedback cut-up on 4-on-da-floor techno.
Did you know that Zombie Nation == ZZT?
Dancing to a roughly the same tempo for two or more hours can […]
