The mixtape, as you might be able to gather by the title, and by the below image, is loosely based on the show Seinfeld. It even features a cameo from [...]

Lil’ Dwayne

If you don’t know, now you know… We here at Vinyl Meltdown cannot get it through our heads why folks are so in love with Lil’ Wayne (I refuse to call him weezy, and I usually call him Dwayne). He’s just not that good. Sure, he can flow, but his voice is obnoxious and his [...]

Chaos Kids X Black Kids (Pt. 1)

No. No collabo is in the works (yet). But we did manage to hit up the Mobius Band/Black Kids/Cut Copy show last night. And the amazing after party. Thanks to Washington DC, for reminding me how dope you are, and by comparison, how wack Saint Louis can be. There is so much to be told, [...]
