The new track from CSS is really goofy but catchy. 

spring ruffian music from a cincinatti trio

Estelle ft. Janelle Monae - Do My Thing

some Saturday evening music

doskapozora:

This song is so tiny and good, this song makes me feel like I am seventeen and hopeful, this song makes me want to spend all spring driving around New Hampshire in my parents’ old car with the windows open

one time, when we all still lived in iowa, jess and i drove to ames on a weeknight to see thao play. i think this was pre-get down stay down. at the time we kept a wall of polaroids in our apartment so we asked thao to take a polaroid with us. she was so so nice.

thao & joanna dream teamin.

Shystie ft. Azealia Banks - Control It

feeling confused about some of the cultural motifs in this vid (bindis again?) but 100% in favor of Azealia Banks chomping on a gummy bear head.

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS: A Benefit for Community Member’s Immigration Legal Fees

SATURDAY March 2nd, 2013

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS: A BENEFIT FOR A COMMUNITY MEMBER’S IMMIGRATION LEGAL FEES

With the recent executive order, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), thousands of DREAMers are applying for relief from deportation and work authorization. In addition to the cost of the application itself (almost $500), many are accruing additional legal fees for lawyer visits and court appearances.

One of our dear friends and community members is among those with mounting legal fees, and we are turning to our community to ask for support for someone who has given us so much. Please come out and join us for a fundraiser to help our friend pay their legal fees. All proceeds will be used to help pay our friend’s legal fees.

Musicians/Bands Include:

  • Music was my First Gay Lover
  • Tijuana Bibles
  • Shady Hawkins
  • World’s Fair

$5-$20 Sliding Scale (Additional donations are welcome!)

Cheap drinks! Raffle prizes!

**Witch Beach is a safer space. All benefit attendees will be expected to adhere to Witch Beach’s safer space rules. Specifically, no misogyny, no racism, no homophobia/trans*phobia, no ableism and practice active consent at all times. If you violate the the safer space policies, you will be asked to leave.**

3/4 to Crown Heights/Utica Ave

The Knife - Full of Fire

Music Video directed by Marit Ostberg

“The Knife won the Grammy award for Pop Group of the Year in 2003, but they boycotted the ceremony by sending two representatives of the Guerrilla Girls, with the number 50 written on their costumes, as a protest against male dominance in the music industry.”

The Knife’s forthcoming album, Shaking the Habitual, releases April 5, 2013.

Janet Jackson’s 1989 new jack swing album Rhythm Nation 1814 is what inspired Michael K. Williams to pursue a career in dance (and, later, acting).

It’s impossible for me to be happy; psychologically and chemically impossible. So I’m going to help some little girl out there. I’m going to let her know that I have stretch marks on my ass, and bunions, that I don’t have my shit together at all. Please say that I don’t have my shit together. I want to give that girl some hope. I want her to know that she doesn’t have to have her shit together. She doesn’t. It’s okay if she doesn’t. I’m going to prove that, and then I’m going to die.
