Local Natives & YT Fight Crime

In the middle of Local Natives' first take of "Airplanes," a girl started screaming. She wasn’t star struck, she was getting mugged. So we did what we had to do and chased that dude down! Our reward? They finished the song.

Freddie Gibbs - Born 2 Roll

Part of what makes Freddie Gibbs so special is his unique ability to uproot the listener and drop them right into his reality. To force your eyes open wider, even when what's out there makes you squirm. In this revealing mini-documentary, Freddie takes YT back to the decayed avenues of Gary, to the time when he chose crime over a 9-5 and up to his re-birth, as a man with a purpose, to rap his way out of Gary for good.

Where Memories Go Forget

By Richmond | Published: January 6, 2010

It’s tough to resist the wistful sounds ofÂ Memoryhouse. The Ontario duo’s new four song EPÂ The Years (which they’ve graciously offered as aÂ free digital download) summons sepia images from the tiny pockets of your mind where long lost memories are well…housed. The standout track “To the Lighthouse” is hypnotic and gripping as it is fleeting, dissolving into vapor before you register it’s effect.

To the Lighthouse

Be sure to check out the Ed Droste approved “Foreground” andÂ Jon Brion sampling “Lately” Â below, and the video for “To The Lighthouse” after the jump.

Thanks to YT homieÂ Andrea for the post and Delicious Scopitone for the assist.
