We’ve already expressed our love for The Canon Logic numerous times. We’ve written about them. They’ve written about us. We won’t overstate our love for them. All we want you to do is check out their Daytrotter Session. This was recorded while the band was stomping around the U.S. on their recent tour. It is [...]
It’s no secret that MF Doom is one of our favorite artists, ever. So we’re pretty geeked at this 90 minute lecture/q&a he did at the Red Bull Music Academy. In it, he candidly discusses every aspect of his career to date while wearing his mask. Thats all that needs to be said. Check out [...]
Went lightbombing out at Live at The Loft, a brilliant concert/performance series put on by our friend TONE. He converted a Hoboken industrial space into a warm venue full of comfy seats, amazing stage decorations, great people and amazing music. In this space he and his cohorts (among them, Texas, a longtime friend of MRI) [...]
Last night, The Canon Logic was cool enough to have us at their random-non-official CMJ party. We brought Lightbomber (our iPhone app, that will be out this fall) with us and got some great stuff thanks to some great friends and Max, a brilliant dulcimer player who put lights on his hands for us. You [...]
Guys, we’ve been holding off on this announcement for a long time. An extremely long time. Long enough that you would be blown away if we told you how long we’ve been working on this. So, we’re ridiculously happy to finally say this: We have an iphone app coming out. We’ve been working on it [...]
Part two of our Playlist installment in honor of The Weeknd’s new mixtape called “Thursday”. Again, we composited a little with this one, because this series is all about us trying out new stuff. We like this one. XO, MRI
The Weeknd just came out with their new mixtape called “Thursday”. <—-click to download. In honor of the fact that Thursday has been on repeat since we got it yesterday, we made 2 photos. This is the first one. The second will come tomorrow. Yes we photoshopped a little and yes we are OK with [...]
Wait, that’s not Calgary… Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon has odd lyrics. He talks a lot about how they are meant to represent a “place”. There are snatches of coherent phrases, but he really is right about the “place” thing. His almost nonsensical strings of words work to take the listener somewhere, where a very specific [...]
This one is all about a west coast rap group called King Fantastic. Their (rapper Killer Reese and producer Troublemaker) music sounds like an updated version of the synth-ed out gangster music that took over the world in the late 80′s and 90′s. Over stuttering, glitched out hip hop (think if the Glitch Mob grabbed [...]
I’m listening to MF Doom as I type this. The track is called “?” off the amazing Operation: Doomsday re-release. At the end of the track Doom breaks through his villain persona to speak to his dead brother Sub Roc. For me, this verse is the decoder ring for MF Doom’s entire persona. I’ll tell [...]
