I had zero idea that I would end up in the middle of Dance Motherf*cker at Union South with Gabe Herrera spinning last May. He moved seamlessly between hip hop and electronic vibes and I found myself thoroughly enjoying the mix and pondering why I never came to DMF. Eventually, by my request, Chief Keef’s “I Don’t Like” boomed menacingly in a room containing me and about 20 others. I leapt in some sort of graceless aggression with my friend Ian while watching the rest awkwardly performing a verbal tiptoe around the infamous N-word war-chant chorus.

The music world lost a great man this past weekend, as Adam “MCA” Yauch of the Beastie Boys passed away from cancer. I won’t claim to be a huge fan of the Beastie Boys, I honestly only know a few songs well, but Yauch is part of a generation that has influenced pop culture for 25 years, and his contributions deserve acknowledgement.

They’ve done it again. Beware and Be Grateful, the most recent LP by indie-rock quartet Maps & Atlases, is set to release in the U.S. Tuesday, April 17, and affirms the group’s unparalleled musical creativity. Map & Atlases’ unique sound has evolved with each album they have put out, but Beware and Be Grateful may mark their most significant leap to date.

The end of a band is always a sad thing. Music plays a huge role in people’s lives, and for a band to call it quits may not seem like a big deal if you’re not a fan, but the hope that maybe there’ll be just one more record means a lot to some fans.

In the nearly-85-degree heat of the day, we decided it was only fair to dance to some astro-pop beach rock music under some trees in a backyard at the Brooklyn Vegan showcase. Enter, Django Django, a Jestons-meets-Beach-Boys threesome that is perfect for summer jamming. Afterwards we caught Tennis, a band whose frontwoman gives female rockers a good name. Her simultaneously strong and soothing vocals are the perfect compliment to the danceable rock group at her back.

The first thing you should know about The Decemberists is that they’re a little conceited. Their conceit, a not wholly unfavorable one, is one of refinement and bookish intelligence. Lead singer Colin Meloy sings songs with big, gilded words; the band plays respectively big, gilded songs rife with accordions, violins, horns and keyboards, anchored by traditional rock instruments (guitar, bass, drum). They named an album Picaresque (2005). And though they’ve been moving away from this literary conceit, even their most recent studio album (2011’s country-ish, R.E.M.-ish The King is Dead and its little sibling, the Long Live The King EP) does not lose the conceit fully.

Bitching about the current state of the music industry has been
cool ever since punk-rock broke through in the mid-1970s, probably
even before then, but it hit the mainstream with CBGB's and the
Ramones. I even used to be one of those people, and I guess I still
am a little, but when really looking at it, the music industry is
almost in better shape now than it has been in the last ten
years.

Baristacide and Fight Nice of Chicago.

After a break from making new music and two years on the road,
Phantogram comes back with what should have been their
debut album, Nightlife.

All right, time for some real talk—Colin Stetson is perhaps the
most wonderful musician currently active. It doesn't matter if you
don't know him or even if you don't like him (it's barely even
expected, honestly—his is a niche within a niche within a niche),
the man is doing things beyond groundbreaking and he deserves
nothing less than to have the very ground he walks upon kissed in
adoration by the awestruck masses.

and everything in between.
