Active Child
Pitchfork basically panned Active Child’s new album giving it a 7.2. Personally it’s one of my favorites of this year and it deserves at least an 8.2 For anyone who like Austra, Bjork or James Blake.

New Active Child Lp
Loving this preview of L.A. resident, Active Child’s new LP “You Are All I See”. Kinda perfect on this rainy melancholic Monday morning. Reminds me of Austra with it’s minimalism, deep moody dub tones and bass.

WinnieCooper x SXSW
Back in Vancouver for a few days now. I have almost recovered. Slept for 12hours last night. Think i’m getting sick. I miss Austin, drinking all day, sleeping little and most of all “being shitty” which we decided the upside down peace sign is the international symbol for. Spread the good word.
Apologies to anyone who wasn’t at SXSW that I pissed off with my drunk tweets. Thank god, I had my camera and my twitter account or I would have no idea what happened.
Without further adoo-doo.

I blogged about these guys a while back. It was pretty cool to watch them and find out who they were. Dead Gaze (Mississippi)
Eric our new friend from San Fran who works for Intel.
DAY 4. Big Freedia (New Orleans) at the Mess With Texas tent. Right before everyone jumped on stage and some drunk guy pulled down his pants and showed his peen for a long ass time.
Had to jump the fence to get backstage and then sneak past security to hang off the scaffolding backstage for Odd Future (L.A.). Some girls started fighting next to me for position and were pulling each others hair. Diddy showed up and was hanging out backstage. I swear he looked at me hanging of the scaffolding like a douche with my camera and gave me a lil wink, like, “Never give up kid”. Awesome. Tried to follow him to find the Kanye West penthouse party but I swear he disappeared into thin air. Might of been a hologram.

DAY 5. Last day. Hanging out in a field at a school killing time before flights home with the roommates. Party pain. Can you tell who went to bed the earliest / is the most responsible?
