Get To Know: Son of the Sun
Joey Stocker gets friendly with HEAVEmedia and gives us some insight on the Buffalo band.
New York. The hub of America’s music world. Many bands, good and no good, get spit out of New York City’s rough and tumble environment, hoping for their chance of fifteen minutes of fame. Rarely is there something that pops out of western New York. Buffalo band Son of the Sun may be relatively young, but their unique old-school charm has already garnered notice within the community, with the Buffalo News naming them one of their 2008 bands to watch...

Drew Danburry Never Stops Hustlin'
New music and videos from Utah's magic man.
Drew Danburry is one busy man. He’s starting a nation-wide tour with Ryland Bouchard of the Robots Ate Me and Emperor X this March, performing some supporting dates for Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin in April and somehow still finding time to make new music. How the hell can one man make so much music? I can only assume magic. One of his latest songs is a parody of “The Way I Are” by Timbaland entitled “The Way Drew Drew...

MGMT sue Paris.
No, seriously.
No, seriously. This has to be one of the funniest things on earth. It seems that President Sarkozy paid indie-psychedelia posterboys 53 euros for use of their song, "Kids." Apparently the band thinks that it was an acceptable price for the initial use, but that the proliferation of internet campaigning by Sarkozy entitles them to a much greater amount.
In an ironic twist that I can't even match (I live in Brooklyn, they test our irony-creating abilities before they let you move in), France is in the middle of passing all sorts of anti-piracy and copyright laws.
I think that the only way to settle this one would be to insist on payment to MGMT in the form of Sarkozy tripping on acid onstage at an MGMT show. If you've seen them live, it couldn't make the performance any worse.
