In 1994, Swinscoe…
Vivek Shraya I hate Monday’s, and to ease the pain, I have come across something a little on the playful side, something on the grimey electronic side, and the opposite of sad bastard music. VIvek Shraya has ties to the Tegan and Sara (yes the same Tegan and Sara that had their music beaten to…

Rivers Cuomo New Demo Song I came across this song, and I’m pretty sure it’s around by now, but in the event you missed it, here it is, River’s in all his glory….Gawd, I miss old Weezer. Rivers Cuomo-Pig[mp3] Weezer-El Scorcho[mp3
