AUDIO: WHY? - "Jonathan's Hope"
Indie rappers WHY? release their latest unorthodox track “Jonathan’s Hope.” It’s not unusual for the band to throw a mixture of sounds into a blender and dump it out into our ear drums. However, the band seems to make their somewhat morbid tracks cohesive and like-able yet. You’ll still feel like you walked into a disjointed poetry reading, but at least you’ll...

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti "Mature Themes"...
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti must have been on some really good drugs during the making of Mature Themes because while the songs lyrics are very odd, the music bed that lines them is truly the best lo-fi indie pop we’ve ever heard.
“Kinski Assassin” leads the pack of oddities by Ariel Pink and friends. A song about sinking battleships and testicle bombs, yeah you heard...

VIDEO: Jack White "Freedom At 21"
The only current guy rocking the scene. Jack White shows why he is in this video for “Freedom at 21.” The video is the would-be love child of directors Quentin Tarantino and Ayn Rand.
