Shame Revive Christmas with ‘Feliz Navidad’ Cover

If there was anything that could have brought me back from the dead at this point, it was this gift from Shame. As you count your blessings this holiday season, make sure to leave a spot for the South London band’s cover of “Feliz Navidad.” (more…)

I'm sure most of my followers have already seen this... so I'm posting for myself to watch on my time because I've dedicated too much of my time to fit their time.

'Greasy Hotel' Sees King Nun Take a Stand Against Assault | Song Review

‘Greasy Hotel’ Sees King Nun Take a Stand Against Assault | Song Review

“…I felt it was important for the audience to hear ‘Take your hands off of her’ mid set.” – Theo Polyzoides

Maybe you’re oblivious to it. Maybe you feel it’s none of your business. Maybe you just brush it off as the result of people being shoved around. Maybe you can’t bring yourself to confront it when you see it. Regardless, the…

Honestly relieved he decided to keep his head down, otherwise this could have been the most awkward solid minute of close-range eye contact. #nozoom . . . . . . . . #Shame #newsong #TeragramBallroom #DTLA #Shameband #TeragramBallroomLA #frontrow #frontrowcenter #concertphoto #gigphoto #livemusic #SouthLondonband #LAmusicscene #ShamebandUK #amateurphotography #concertphotography #iphonephotography #musicslut https://www.instagram.com/p/BpKS50GnrNa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1geay02yt0rj0

No Rome Releases 'Do It Again' Music Video Ahead of Debut EP RIP Indo Hisashi

No Rome Releases ‘Do It Again’ Music Video Ahead of Debut EP RIP Indo Hisashi

When I first heard “Do It Again” back in late May, I immediately felt that No Rome had found his home at Dirty Hit Records. He was already good on his own, but with the support and direction at Dirty Hit, he has reached his peak element. (more…)

King Nun 'Heavenly She Comes' Thrashing Onto the Scene | Song Review

King Nun ‘Heavenly She Comes’ Thrashing Onto the Scene | Song Review

If we thought “Chinese Medicine” was King Nun’s statement of intent to create more polished and melodic music going forward, “Heavenly She Comes” arrived to prove us dead wrong.

Don’t let the song title mislead you, “Heavenly She Comes” is equipped with their heaviest rock intro to date — the type so distinct, it almost becomes the…

'TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME' Is Unconventionally The 1975

‘TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME’ Is Unconventionally The 1975

The 1975 just released the third addition to their forthcoming album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, and unlike the first two installments, “TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME” doesn’t require much deciphering. There are no thick layers of meaning to unpack, just thick layers of auto-tune. (more…)

King Nun Announce Debut EP With "Chinese Medicine"

King Nun Announce Debut EP With “Chinese Medicine”

Despite being named part of DIY Magazine’s “Class of 2018”, King Nun have been silent on releases throughout the majority of the year. But in a fortuitous turn of events, the four Londoners emerged on this otherwise unlucky Friday the 13th to heal our misfortunes with a bit of “Chinese Medicine.”

King Nun have demonstrated a solid…

Concert Review | Wolf Alice Live at The Mayan Play Their Biggest L.A. Gig to Date

Concert Review | Wolf Alice Live at The Mayan Play Their Biggest L.A. Gig to Date

There is plenty of conjecture as to what changes a band: popularity, experience, environment, age or just time itself. While speculators can never definitively pinpoint the cause of change, I can say one thing for certain. The Wolf Alice I witnessed at The Mayan last night were not the Wolf Alice I remember from their first U.S.…

The 1975's 'Give Yourself A Try' Quenches Comeback Anticipation in an Unexpected Way

The 1975’s ‘Give Yourself A Try’ Quenches Comeback Anticipation in an Unexpected Way

Well darlings, the much anticipated June 1 has come and gone without a new album from The 1975. To be honest, I felt it was a reach to assume the first signs of life from the Manchester quartet would be as daring as an entire album — but that doesn’t mean they didn’t make a bold comeback.

🚨This is a Red Alert for net neutrality 🚨

Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.

We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.

Here’s what you can do to save the internet:

In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.

Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.

This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help. 

[musingsofamusicslut]

This is imperative. The free net is the only media we have left that is not influenced and/or dictated by advertisers and sponsors. Guarantee that will change with the finalized repeal of Net Neutrality. Information should be available for all, not just for those who can afford the access.
