?uestlove: 15 Years →
Maybe the best part about Pitchfork’s retrospective interview with ?uestlove, besides that it’s so interesting (and I’d totally buy a ?uestlove memoir), is that Pitchfork uses ?: to signify when ?uest is speaking.

OLD PEOPLE NAMES
A mixtape by Eric Charles Christenson
Since I do everything Brian and Thom do, I made a mixtape for the Summer Mix Series 2011, too called “Old People Names” because a lot of great songs use traditional names for song titles. I don’t make the rules. I hope you like it!

If you have an extra 40 minutes you should watch this. For Peter Bjorn and John’s new record, “Gimme Some,” they did this visual art/performance/music video for the entire album. Even if the songs are only okay (with a big, “Breaker Breaker”-sized exception), this is still very nice to watch.

– The Economist (stolen from Fan/Phenom (thanks Dan’l)) in this excellent article, one that doesn’t make me feel good, but is excellent nonetheless. You have to read the whole thing.

My friend Brian recently put together an amazing mix tape for Yewknee.com’s Summer Mix Series. Bitten by the inspiration bug, I decided to throw my hat in the ring. So here’s MN/WIS, a 14-track sampling of some of the Midwest’s finest.
I go to school in western Wisconsin, but not…
