Tiny Masters of Today’s Secret Playlist
It’s been a surreal, full-throttle journey for Brooklyn group, Tiny Masters Of Today. Almost overnight, the teenage brother and sister duo went from a few homemade recordings on a MySpace page to collaborating with Karen O and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fred Schneider, and Gibby Haynes. We asked one half of them, Ivan, to give us a rundown on the music that’s been pumping on his iPod. Amongst others, he upped Glen Campbell, Yo La Tengo, and Man Man [listen below]: ‘If I ever get married, I would want Man Man to play at my wedding’, he says. Ok, well, we’ll hold you to that Ivan.

Kyp Malone’s new album, Rain Machine
I love Kyp Malone. I’d love him even if he weren’t guitarist and singer for one of the best bands out there, TV On The Radio. See, Kyp’s just a rock solid, totally unpretentious, good guy. He gives good hugs. Our kids play together and have sleepovers. I had mostly forgotten that Kyp was a rock star. Read more
