Regardless of whether or not it's official audio, this Jai Paul record has moved us to act like this dude on the dance floor all summer long.

yooo so i just baked my own potato chips — i would highly recommend doing this. 

u just take a potato, slice it real thin, like, paper thin.  then u take a pan and put a bit of oil in the pan and then put the slices in and get them all oily,

put some salt, pepper, etc. on then bake for like 10 - 15 mins, just wait until they’re all crispy like they should be getting brown on the edges

a very satisfying snack.  no chemicals, and u can make them to precisely ur own taste 

lol, sorry i have to laugh at the earnestness of this post.  but i really had a fun time and enjoyed the chips.  i also watched true blood while eating the chips and it was a good episode.  relaxing monday

i also laid out a tracklist for my record, its looking good

On Saturday, May 25th, Vår and Pharmakon performed together playing selections from their respective albums, No One Dances Quite Like My Brothers and Abandon at The Rink in Brooklyn. I found the show extremely difficult to shoot due to the lack of natural light and being prohibited from using my flash when Loke Rahbek of Vår and Pharmakon would roam around the stage area (I was able to take a couple of photos of Loke before being asked not to use flash). Despite this, I’m quite happy with the results since I started to experiment using lights from other people’s cameraphones (this was done in the first image above).

More photos from the performance are available on Impose Magazine and Flickr.

Vår and Pharmakon are among the best in experimental music, and arguably our current favorite Sacred Bones projects. Striking captures by Edwina Hay.

Does anyone else think it's ironic and/or weird that NPR uses a photo of Danny Brown sticking his tongue out to promote their music channels?

SEGA32x dropped "Life Sucks, Might As Well Give Up" - a new album today that is meant to be an audio representation of the end of a relationship. He'll be playing at www.spf420.com tomorrow for the Datalife/Public Spreads the News album release party.

Really feeling this Jermiah Jae mixtape via Warp Records. It's like a sequel to MF Doom's Mm.. Food. Tasty. We like!

Pretty good adaptation of "Untrust Us" by Crystal Castles by Capital Children’s Choir. Choir wasn't like this when we were kids.

"This video is brilliant, the comedy of the whole thing comes from the repetition, focus on it, meditate on it, let all other aspects of your life drift to the wayside for just a few moments as you even lose focus on the video and enter a zen like state of purity with this video." -Little Ruckus for Culture Castle's Friday Night Music Video Club

This week's FNMVC was curated by the sultan of sweat, the wizard of weird, Fairfield Iowa's Little Ruckus!!! Click here for Elton John and Latex fetishes and more!
