My review of Boys Noize - Power

Boys Noize’s sophomore full-length effort, Power, finds Alexander Ridha expanding his palette, for better or for worse. The German DJ, whose name is often found (and rightly so) alongside such heavyweights of electro music as Justice and Daft Punk, strays slightly from the abusively focused push of Oi Oi Oi to create something more disparate, meandering, and still undeniably driving … more ...

blues101: I just posted a viagra chart on I love charts and now I have a great idea for a new Viagra slogan. “Viagra. Giving you a hard time since 1996 (or whenever viagra came to be)” I don’t know if it is, but this should be your proudest moment.

Tumblr Tuesday

staff: Did everybody have a nice weekend? Summer’s last hurrah? Now, now, don’t be too sad. Technically, Summer doesn’t end until September 22 at 5:18pm EDT. Hmm.
