"Now With Less Suck!"
Video Premiere: Freeway Park’s “Beers From Alaska”
Matt Ashworth – When we first became smitten with local band Freeway Park, it was on the strength of live recordings posted on their SoundCloud page in 2015. The songs – which mix insightful spoken-word storytelling that calls to mind the rock ‘n roll poetry of Craig Finn with the vocal delivery and angular guitar of 90s indie cult sensations Slint – were enough to earn the band a spot on our list of 41 Bands We’re Watching in 2016.
Beastie Boys 30 Year Tribute: Check Your Head Essays
Darren Selector – When I bragged to my friend that I bought Beastie Boys’ Check Your Head and The Cure’s Wish on the day they were both released, the kids that overheard us talking turned their heads.
Best of 2016: 187 Songs We Liked A Whole Lot
Our annual year-end coverage begins with a list of our favorite songs. No rankings. No mid-article ads. No slide show formats to sell more ads. No pretense that we’ve collectively determined the “best” music of 2016. Just an alphabetical list of the single tracks we most enjoyed listening to this year.
Beastie Boys 30 Year Tribute: Paul’s Boutique Essays
Darren Selector – This is my take: hip-hop started with DJs. People had been rhymin’ long before hip-hop, but when DJs started to repurpose their turntables and vinyl in ways never intended, that’s when the genre was born.
