Indiephemera Friday: Hot Debut Action
Posted by: L.V. Lopez on: January 14, 2011

We are left impatiently awaiting the mass arrival of new records that typically begins in late January and extends through the lonely winter months. This winter is particularly promising, and we [...]

Posted by: L.V. Lopez on: January 7, 2011
And so, it’s happened. 2010 has abandoned us to the cold, disorienting landscape of January. There are no more presents to open, no more countdowns to count down, and a lot more snow to shovel.

Building on one of the themes of 2010, biomedical-engineer-slash-mashup-madman Greg Gillis, a.k.a. Girl Talk, released a surprise record via his label Illegal Art‘s website on Monday. (Note that whether or not this art is actually illegal is a topic for debate). The free download proved so popular that it crashed the Illegal Art website, leading [...]

Posted by: L.V. Lopez on: November 12, 2010
To quote the great Q-Tip, “Daddy don’t ya know that things go in cycles/way that Bobby Brown is just ampin’ like Michael?” Thirty-seven years ago next week, President Richard M. Nixon, under scrutiny from the news media and the American People, declared “I am not a crook.” Earlier this week, former President George W. Bush, [...]
Indiephemera Friday, vol. 30: Enough
Posted by: L.V. Lopez on: November 5, 2010

And we learned of the injustice of inflated monthly lodging payments. And yet, despite all of this imparted wisdom, many of us [...]

Posted by: Keith Meatto on: October 8, 2010
It’s no secret that we like books, whether they are about Beethoven, 80′s bands, or musicians who seduce their best friend’s wives. This week’s big literary news was that Mario Vargas Llosa won the Nobel prize. The Peruvian novelist and one-time presidential candidate changed his political orientation from left to right as he [...]
