Jarvis Cocker Attempts to Answer “What is Music For?” By Playing in a Paris Art Gallery
What is life? What is art? What is music for? The last question was one asked of former Pulp frontman, now solo fellow, Jarvis Cocker, when he guest edited an issue of UK’s The Observer Music Monthly back in October 2006. Apparently, the question is one that’s stuck with him and he’s been attempting to [...]
Larry T to Launch Club Badd May 8th, Album Drops May 5th

SXSW 2009 Day 4: Saturday, 3.21.09, Austin TX
We woke up early on an overcast Austin Saturday morning to meet with Silversun Pickups and shoot them for our feature in a friend’s nearby loft.

This event began in May 2007, with this particular installment organized by Arthur Arbit (also King Gurvy) and Tom [...]
Roisin Murphy at The National Arts Club, NYC, 02.19.2009
Fashion Week wouldn’t be complete without an appearance by Roisin Murphy, who is slowly but surely branding herself Stateside as a style icon-meets-nouveau diva.
The Phenomenal Handclap Band at the Adidas Originals House Party, 11.20.08
When we heard Adidas was celebrating their “60 Years of Soles and Stripes” by hosting a house party somewhere on Williamsburg’s North 10th St., we could only imagine what kind of “house” they’d be taking over. How would this iconic three-stripes brand fit a few hundred of their closest friends and fans inside some rickety [...]
