Little Sister
I am a huge fan of the South African duo which consists of sisters Jenni Lonmon and Debbi Lonmon. Of course, I'm biased as Jenni took care of my mom for six months and bonded with her, and became best friends with her, and has been the source of much laughter and great times for me.

Cautionary warning to stupid girls of the world
pink and garbage have two songs that are warnings to the stupid girls of the world. They are two songs with similar messages but the same title “stupid girl”. These songs need to exist and with the state of the world and the messages that females of all ages get on a daily basis. The garbage song stupid girl tells it like it is Shirley Manson the lead singer really put stupid girls in their place is. The song was originally released by the band in 1995. The video is nitty and gritty and just perfect for the alternative music genre as it was at the time.

Rick Henry ChristopherPublished 3 months ago in BeatAn Album That Will Never Let a "Devotee" Down Again
A band that is not afraid to experiment with new sounds, the new wave alternative, electronica band Depeche Mode has evolved vastly with their music style. You can hear evidence of this change in this compilation album I'm going to review. For instance, the tone of “Just Can’t Get Enough” is noticeably different from “Enjoy the Silence”.
Jasmine AguilarPublished 3 months ago in BeatHot Box - "Lickety Split"
Once upon a time, in a galaxy as far away as the piss-puddled floors of the local all-ages gig-a-plex, there was a furious rebirth of the punk rock phenomena. That was about the good year 1996, and it was a time of incredible promise and pain: Promise that life might be every bit as intense and fun going forward as it was at that one youth-infused moment; pain because the fun usually involved someone jumping on your head, sometimes from the bleeding lip of the dirty, spit and cigarette butt littered stage, sometimes just to be doing it. And, well, if they were bigger than you--bammo!
Merzbow - Material Action 2
A heaping dollop of noisiness from the long-time Japanoise king, Masami Akita, a.k.a. "Merzbow," who has been going since 1978 and has a hundred and forty million albums of this stuff. Here, we have a heavy collage of bang and clang, intercut with high, piercing, synth whistling but it never does in any way get dull. The feeling is that one is inside the bowls of some great, futuristic tin horn beast from a demonic bestiary located somewhere south of Chiba City and somewhere north of the Sprawl. Strings are plucked behind the wall of noise, there is always the sensation of movement...movement...movement forward in sound, a process of progression.

The thought of everyone living a life that is so complex, is one that sometimes keeps me up at night, something that comes to mind whenever I listen to King Krule.
