Twin Sister is the shit. No, we’re not kidding. If you like dreamy, lazy pop music sung by a lady with a beautiful set of pipes then make sure you get your ass to Ballentine for this set. If Pitchfork is your go-to place for new music, then the fact that their debut EP “Color Your Life”

DOM http://www.myspace.com/imfur

The phrase “do it yourself” gets thrown around a lot, but “do your own thing” is a better goal, and Dom both embody and challenge that ideal. They sing about ecstasy and basement parties, yet their mini-anthem “Burn Bridges” could cross over as easily as Passion Pit, a band who tried, to no avail, to sign Dom to

RUN DMT
RUN DMT (‘chillwave’/lo-fi)
Baltimore’s Mike Collins (Run DMT) brings us beatless, chill-out, genre-defying, mixed-up tunes with aptly chosen titles (Bong Voyage, Get Ripped or Die Trying). Imagine haunting vocal snippets layered over screwed-up, slowed-down, and sped-up beats distorted beyond recognition. This is the kind of contemplative, all-nonsense jam you need in your life. Think Washed Out meet Harold and

Civic Center to host legendary Flaming Lips

Quoted from The Miscellany News
By Erik Lorenzsonn

The Flaming Lips know of a girl who will make you some very peculiar toast. “She don’t use butter, she don’t use cheese, she don’t use jelly or any of these; She uses Vaseline!” croons the band’s front man Wayne Coyne in the 1993 single “She Don’t Use Jelly,” their most successful
