IT’S CROOKERS MAN
I’m expecting this Friday to be something big. If you’re in Vancouver, get ready for Crookers! They’ll be backed by hometown heavy hitters Paul Devro and Expendable Youth. Make sure you get in the door here.
Here’s the latest Crookers banger. Murs on the raps.
Busy P ft Murs – To Protect and Entertain (Crookers Remix)
And, for me, this remix never gets tired… when the heaviness drops about a minute in, people lose their minds and start breaking things. Sooooo rad. And mildly dangerous.
Kid Cudi – Day ‘N Nite (Crookers Remix)
Hawla!

Mail Order Monsters
The third installment of curator Kathy Grayson’s Mail Order Monsters has just gone up at Andreas Melas Presents in Athens, Greece. Lots of dope artists in this one, including Vancouverite Aurel Schmidt (above).
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.

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?
