Paris 1919, 1973, and 2007
It's no surprise that I don't like much new music. I listen to a lot of it, but only find a teeny bit actually interesting. That being said, I understand the importance of historically contextualizing things for the kids of today. Enter Owen P ...

Sloooow It Down, James Pants
James Pants' "We're Through" is a dance-punk song on Valium. It's what you would hear if you were at a party and some dood decided it would be a great idea to hijack the turntable and put on any song by The Rapture and then put his finger on it ...
