Treasure Island Music Festival II | BLURT Magazine | 09.25.08 [CLIPS]

TI is a repurposed military base built on trash just feet off the water line, and there was no band pulling more juice than French production duo Justice.

The Vice-signees are fresh off a perverse MySpace sponsored tour leaving in their wake scores of E'd-out 14 year-olds rolling on the sidewalk. They are not a band for TV, or the Radio, but along with TV On the Radio, they've found their 100,000 hard core fans worldwide who'll sustain them indefinitely.

The Search for Animal Chin Clutchy Hopkins and Clutch of the Tiger

Everyone loves a good mystery, so I'm heading down to SoCal next Wednesday through Saturday to a secretive meet-up with people connected to Clutchy Hopkins about Clutch of the Tiger in the wild deserts outside of L.A. Many think Clutchy is really the Beastie Boys or DJ Shadow, but it's better than that ....
Flying down Wednesday. Spending the night in Irvine with the 'rents. Then obtaining a vehicle and deserting it up Thursday and spending the night out there. Friday it's LA for a Clutchy radio thing and maybe a party. I need a place to crash in L.A. Friday night, but I will cross that bridge when I get to it. Hoping to kick it with Cole Haddon, Mark Mauer, Darrick R. and many other LA/SoCal hotshots and find a publisher for this music journalism saga. Clutchy, take it away.

Hardcore Gamers Go for Pwnage | Gelf Magazine | 09.04.08 [CLIP]



"People who think they're into videogames should have been on the floor of the San Jose Convention Center on August 26. You'd swear off this shit for life. It's like a casual toker going to a 4:20 festival, seeing all the burned-out hippies, and vowing to trade in his bong for running shoes."
