Major Lazer of the Day


The latest installation of Diplo and Switch's project ~ Major Lazer ~ gives us what we were promised... M.I.A.


Here's a little write-up from Pitchfork and here's the link to download Keep Watch Vol. X: Major Lazer.

Fuck yeah.

Getting out of bed.

This helps.




Most days.

Together again... sometime last year

Formed in Chapel Hill, NC ~ in 1990 ~ POLVO originally signed with Merge Records and defined the math rock genre. With their surrealist lyrics, dissonant guitar harmonies and their driving rhythms, they were critically acclaimed from the get.go despite the accusations of performing under the influence of failing to tune their instruments properly.

Since disbanding in 1998, Polvo reunited for the 2008 Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona; they resigned with Merge, entered the Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, NC in March and plan to release their first album in over a decade on September, 8th.

From the new album ~ In Prism ~ this song is tops: Beggar's Bowl.

They play FREE at South Street Seaport on Friday night. That's this week!
