Thu, 08/11/2016 - 06:51 by karyn

Thinking of getting a tattoo but not looking for something permanent? Try these temporary options from family company, Les Tatoués. Designed by Jean-Sebastien Poupart in Montreal, you get two sheets of temporary tattoos that feature some nautical stuff like lobsters, rope and dice. Makes sense, right?

After you get inked, you’ll want to maintain your new skin art. In order to do that, you’ll need Artful Dodger Tattoo Balm made in Moncton with coconut oil, hempseed (infused with chamomile and calendula for extra soothing properties), Shea butter, vitamin E and bees wax - the best kind of wax (according to bees). Besides rubbing it on your fresh tats, this balm can revitalize old ink and is great for dry skin because it helps fight itch. Doesn’t itching suck? Nobody likes to itch. Put the balm on.

Jacques Greene Releases New Single

Thu, 08/04/2016 - 15:02 by karyn

Jacques Greene returns to the cyber stage with his new single "You Can't Deny", out as always on LuckyMe. A guaranteed summer club banger, Greene has blended his own style quite nicely with the sounds that are making dance floors pop this year - pitched vocals, uniquely guttural sounds (thanks to the influence of acts like Sophie MSMSMSM) and a bouncing rhythm that keeps it moving forward.

New BRONCHO Video Looks Like They Sound

Wed, 08/03/2016 - 13:55 by karyn

Nerves were at attention before the mixes came back for BRONCHO's follow-up to Just Enough Hip to Be Woman, as they should have been. That record was a chest-filling relief for anyone who was legit concerned about guitar music never making a relevant mark again. It was the kind of album that if released during the main attraction days of guitar-based hysteria, it would have gone double platinum.

Cass McCombs' New Single

Wed, 08/03/2016 - 10:31 by karyn

Cass McCombs, who can be described in a reductive fashion as "Sufjan for the heroin crowd," has been lurking around our record players and iTunes since the early part of the century. There's nothing gimmicky about McCombs, unlike many of his contemporaries who seem to be grasping at an attempt at burning out vs. fading away. "He's just... good," an otherwise articulate music writer once said to me, and perhaps that's all there is to say about him.

Warpaint Announce New Record, Release Aptly Titled New Song, "New Song"

Mon, 08/01/2016 - 14:43 by karyn

Fans of knowing just a little bit more about music than your average mouth breather are pleased today with the release of Warpaint's new lead single. Possibly because titling songs "Untitled" is too 90s even for today's constant 1990s fetishism, the track is tagged as "New Song" with a refrain hook echoing the title.

Barbra Streisand and Hugh Jackman Release "Any Moment Now"

Sun, 07/31/2016 - 07:02 by karyn

“Any Moment Now” is a soaring easter egg of a tune and it’s in good hands with Wolverine and Barbra. It’s classic Streisand, featuring piercing strings and thundering belts, and despite its ornate delivery, feels completely genuine. When you’ve had enough of this summer’s minimal electronic haze, pour some wine and slip into this song like a warm bath. Jackman is one of several actors blessed to appear on this upcoming album, including Star Wars’ Rey and Captain Kirk.

Yann Tiersen Shares New Track: "Roc’h ar Vugale"

Wed, 07/27/2016 - 07:34 by karyn

In a magical way that reflects his work, Yann Tiersen is an artist who seems to appear and reappear in your life when you’re least expecting. From the countless enchanting piano compositions he’s put forward over the past two decades, to his legendary film scores (most notably writing and performing 18 of 20 compositions for Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s film Amélie) his music has a remarkable way of making you stop to reflect on whatever it is you have been burying for too long.
