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.

Tame Impala: Solitude is Bliss

By will | Published: June 14, 2010

Two weekends ago, Tame Impala traveled over the river and through the woods to a top-secret location, known only as Camp Nowhere, to play two tunes from their debut, Innerspeaker. Yours Truly was there to soak up the sunshine and the songs alongside our pals and keepers of the Camp, Ears of the Beholder. Enjoy this pair of pieces and then hit the jump for a f0ur-pack of mixtapes curated by the band’s four core members.

Frontman Kevin Parker’s ‘Life Affirming Music’ mix

Drummer Jay Watson’s prog-heavy mix

Bassist Dominic Simper’s kitchen sink mix

Guitarist Nick Allbrook’s spaced-out mix
