The original hipsters, The Strokes, have returned from a five year hiatus with their newest release Angles. It’s been an interesting break for The Strokes: both lead singer Julian Casablancas and guitarist Albert Hammond Jr pursued solo efforts, along with a rehab stint for the later.

Let me preface this blog by saying: I’m not a religious person. I grew up in a Christian household, but religion was never forced down my throat. By the time I reached 13, I could see through the bullshit, and decided all that wasn’t for me. I have since determined that organized religion is pretty [...]

Yeah, that’s right. Couldn’t care less. I have absolutely no interest in watching or following the results of this bullshit farce [...]

For about an hour today I thought it was Spring, but the illusion was shattered as I stepped outside to shitty skies and 39 degree humid air. I have to thank Cut Copy’s new album Zonoscope for my brief vacation. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Cut Copy is a killer 80′s New Wave revivalist/electropop/dance rock sensation. [...]
