Album Review: Asher Roth – Asleep in the Bread Aisle
Mark Twain once said that he never met a man whose story was not interesting. I have always been a wholehearted proponent of this philosophy, especially applying it to rap music.

We love it when out favorite bands get involved in very abstract and goofy projects, but it’s even better when their outrageous endeavors are for a good cause. Take Hot Chip for example. Recently, the British boys behind the lovely electropop band teamed up with the local homeless program Skylight to create a short one-off [...]
