Get Money Kids
Up there on my list of most memorable moments has to be hanging out with Charlemang 1/2 of Kill To Win at this sleezed strip club in Orlando while Pase Rock DJed the night away. Soo rad. Pase dropped this track on us this past friday and it blows the horns off the roof. Produced by Eli Escobar
Female Shabba Ranks Lookin’ Girl
Aww man, really? Not sure what to say about this… it’s funny sort of? Funny in an “oversized cereal box neckwear” kinda way.
Kells wins.
Hot Stylz ft Yung Joc & R Kelly - Lookin’ Boy (Remix)
the interview show: LO-FI-FNK
Lo-Fi-Fnk (pronounced Low-Fi-Funk) make very light and peppy indie tunes—and they do it when most other guys their age—early 20s—want to be rappers or in a metal band. Because their tunes are so unabashedly pop, Lo-Fi-Fnk are often mislabeled “effete” and even “gay.”
To clear up any confusion, a reporter and friend-of-the-band even went so far to declare the guys hardcore “womanizers.” (Now, I wouldn’t exactly call them “womanizers”—you should see them both turn deep red when a pretty girl walks by. So sorry guys, Leo and August are not gay.)
Even though the boys from Lo-Fi-Fnk look like two doe-eyed innocents—that any mother would be happy to date their daughter (or son)—these two guys definitely like to party . At the end of the interview, I spied a large bag of M&Ms backstage and teased the guys about it… Demanding candy in their rider? Leo and August laughed, telling me the candy was for their drummer. Then they proudly showed me their large bottle of Jager. That bottle didn’t last very long.
When Swedish teens August and Leo started out as Lo-Fi-Fnk, they were inspired by their fantasies about what happens in the forbidden playground called a nightclub—and now their job is to be in a club every night, living the dream.
Hey, Scott Wood here. Lo-Fi-Fnk are the perfect indie solution for everyone who loves Justin Timberlake, but feels shitty about liking JT’s overexposed, crassly-commercial pop.

What the Haps, indie rock?
This band has been causing a little stir down in internet land and the internet doesn’t lie!
Check out there self titled full length, nice folk-ish indie rock to chase your friend around the campfire. What does indie rock mean these days anyways?
Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal
A friend put me on to this. Dancey..
Animal Collective - The Purple Bottle
NECKFACE
Loads of great photos from Neckface’s Halloween show at Dactyl. If you dig this you can show love by rockin the official Neckface Vans.
Friends need more friends
Friend’s music is likely to make you dance like the dudes with their eyes closed in this party pic.. NOT like the girl with the crazy beer.
Friend is unsigned! ……so what.. right? Well, not only that.. he is not even on hypemachine!!
Unsigned,unhypemachined,.. aka FRESH MEAT!!! Bloggers, you know what to do. If you’re not a blogger…..
This disco edit shit is trendy as hell right now, but something about this stuff suggests that this individual transcends trends………. although his song titles are kinda cheese-tastic.. His artist title is a good gimmick though b/c bloggers can make jokes and make readers laugh, which is important, but not extremely important.
Friend - Stomp it to the Ground
