Unfortunately, it’s illegal to actually feed a tree when you die in a lot of places due to health codes requiring coffins or other such “sanitary.” measures. Poetree provides the next best thing, an urn into which you can plant a tree. Personally, I want a Tibetan sky burial while My Bloody Valentine’s To Here Knows When blasts from speakers all around.

What’s with all this epic music being created by Kiwis of late? First Ghost Wave and now Cool Cult. I’m getting really addicted to New Zealand’s indie scene, particularly this track, Gold Dream. It’s my modern day My Bloody Valentine fix mixed with something I quite can’t put my finger on. Yew!

There’s a weird convergence of black metal and shoegaze lately, which is how I stumbled upon this great new band out of northern California called Whirl. Their debut EP, Distressor, picks up where My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive left off.

I’m loving the wispy ‘glam-shoegaze’ music of Wild Nothing, sounding like a bizarre love triangle between Lush, The Delays and My Bloody Valentine. Despite their ethereal qualities, the melodies are catchy and the guitar flits between a soaring soundscape and rhythmic picking. They’ve just released a new album, Gemini, and are getting some good props across the board. [Listen to the Wild Nothing song, Chinatown]

I was hooked the minute I heard the captivating opening guitar riff in Ghostwood’s I Am Overcast. It’s got a glitzy Brit shoegaze feel that flirts with psychedelic elements. Read more

It’s hard to pin down The Psychic Paramounts. The New York band sounds a bit like My Bloody Valentine at times, and nightmarish David Lynch soundtracks at others, layering folk, rock, and electronic elements to create a moody, auditory haze.

Fashion blogger Tavi is biting, witty, articulate, and stylish for any age. The fact that she’s only twelve makes her kind of over-the-top amazing. Already an accomplished photographer and astute critic of all things wearable, the sarcastic pre-teen is probably sick of being described as precocious, but she’s the very definition of the word.
It goes without saying that Hip Hop has taken a few very low hits in the past decade. Thanks to the likes of 50 Cent and company, it accounts for around 40% of all music sold in America. It’s a huge industry. So where does that leave Hip Hop artists doing something a bit different? Lord T and Eloise wear wacky outfits, make crazy music and bring a whole lot of fun back into Hip Hop. What’s more, they’ve started a new genre called ‘Aristocrunk’. Watch out!
