Willis Earl Beal is a unique talent, unlike any artist I have ever seen in concert. Go see him live. Go hear that voice.

smooth into the weekend with this breezy cut from Juan Deuce. Straight outta Providence, Rhode Island, the scruffy Deuce has been opening for some hip hop legends this year (GZA, Schoolboy Q), and released The Mechanics EP that features production from Falside. Look for Team Shabazz to take over Fête next Friday night (5/18) as Juan Deuce warms the stage for Talib Kweli. Oh, did we mention you can win some tickets here? You can.

Wild Flag’s music felt like such an empowering thing for women, particularly in that it is, without a doubt, unisex. They don’t convey a feministic attitude, and are breaking musical barriers by seeming to say, “I don’t have to be a boy to sound like one.”

As he played, he flashed that genuine grin constantly, practically letting us in on the fact he was having as good a time as we were.

for all the non-fraternity/sorority types who would rather rock out than get all gussied up for a formal ball

I wondered, would seeing the same set poke a hole in my passion? A lack of surprises can clip the wings of songs that are only good for one go-round. Luckily, M83 doesn’t bring those type of songs out on tour. 

song battle!!!

Two songs go in, one comes out. Pick a side.

Twin Shadow - Five Seconds
vs.
Grimes - Be A Body

Looking forward to the show. Would love to win some tix for my pals.
