Levi's® Pioneer Sessions: Passion Pit (art)
Michael Angelakos presumably went into college in Boston to acquire knowledge but he came out of it with the beginnings of a music career. The singer/keyboardist recorded four songs alone in a dorm room for his girlfriend, which would eventually become the basis for Chunk of Change, an EP he’d make with some other Boston musicians under the name Passion Pit. The band quickly developed its sonic identity: Angelakos’ high, high voice singing big pop hooks in an electronic world of bleeps, blips and whirrs. That was the approach on “Sleepyhead,” an arresting and original single that started to draw national attention for the group. The group followed with their debut album Manners last year. It was showered with praise and songs were plucked for prime TV shows, resulting in the album’s critical and commercial success.

Drakes record deal break down (news)
By any modern measure of musical popularity -- YouTube views, radio airplay, ring-tone ubiquity -- the single "Best I Ever Had" by Toronto rapper Drake is not only a hit, it's arguably 2009's "Song of the Summer." Since debuting on iTunes last month, the hip-hop lust track has sold 600,000 digital downloads and topped three separate pop charts. Even if you can't summon to mind its rap-sung vocals or brassy syncopated beat, you've probably heard "Best I Ever Had" blaring out of a convertible somewhere.

"Donatella Versace"With summer officially here in 5 days, ladies and gentlemen it’s that time to step your foot wear up. This summer it’s all about embellishments and more of a decorative look for the ladies. Platform and any thing over a 4inch is the look.

Some ladies need to get there foot game up to part. We can’t do the Old navy flip flops and don’t to it simple with just a wooden flip flop in btw the toe either. Try some chains, zippers, studs and even ruffles. Lots of straps and even mesh is in. Put some color in your in walk while you at it. Try some bright colors even some neon’s. Watch the reaction you will get.

Flying Lotus (interview)
Flying Lotus (Steve Ellison) comes across as gregarious and buoyant as his beats; lithe and animated on stage, the L.A. hip-hop head would be infectious even if you couldn't hear a thing. It's no surprise his music and personality have made him fixed point in a constantly expanding global network of creative producers, in some cases linked through the Low End Theory night and his own Brainfeeder label. He tackles more celestial connections on his new album Cosmogramma, completed in the wake of his mother's death. Adding layers of emotional and musical complexity-- including string arrangements, harp and saxophone from his cousin Ravi Coltrane-- the record shows Ellison making a cathartic and creative leap, his own unique contribution to his family's spiritual discography.
