Palms Out Sounds appears to be a blog associated with an NYC clothing store. A survey of their posts reveals a lot of good writing about hip-hop in the broader cultural sense, that is not just what the mainstream media reduces the community to. It also reveals a lot of great free mp3s. […]

Relative Theory’s Sex Change Review
Anybody who missed this wacky trio of Philadelphia drum machine driven rock slingers last weekend at the Boot missed the boat (das boot). Though the crowd was small, everybody there was aware that something was happening (there was…a band was playing). And it was a magnificent sight to behold, vicariously living through Pony […]
Those hunks are Klaxions. They had an album come out on today and if you click on their photo, you can see everyone that had a release come out that day.
It is getting wicked intense with killer shows and amazing new music these days (rilly), and sometimes things get lost in the shuffle, taken for granted, or otherwise overlooked. Sometimes sustained awesomeness can be a double edge sword, such as when great bands are forgotten on the RTR blog and their fragile little hearts […]
Shearwater made huge waves in the underground music scene with last year’s Palo Santo. The band features members from the highly acclaimed Okkervil River and makes music that is as relaxing as it is fascinating for listeners of all kinds. Recently, Shearwater has been getting the attention that they have deserved all along. Now signed […]

“Animal Collective member Panda Bear (a.k.a. Noah Lennox) boldly returns with his long-awaited third solo record Person Pitch. Years in the making, […]
One of the most anticipated records of the year, the newest from Modest Mouse titled “We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank” is going quick. This is the first album featuring guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths), and (in my opinion) the best album since The Moon and Antarctica. So, come get it.

Last year’s death of J Dilla was sad not only because he was so young and such a great musician, but because he was just beginning to be acknowledged as one of the greats. Dilla did not seek recognition and stardom by making big anthems and saying his name on every track he produced. […]
