Forget cowbell, bring in the vibraslap

Namely, the vibraslap.

Recently, I showed a weakness for woodblock, but I have to admit- there is one percussive instrument that trumps all.

And for that reason, I was overjoyed to hear that Cake plan on releasing "Long Time" as their second single from Showroom of Compassion. They have reached a whole new platform of respect. Watch the trailer for the upcoming animated video below, a Callicore Production.

A human experience, through audio.

Despite its title, the Drop covers all genres, including EDM. It focussed primarily on the local Toronto scene until 2013, after which most of my written music coverage shifted to The B-Side, a publication friends and I founded at UC Berkeley. During that time, this page has held more poetry and personal musings, but as of 2017, I'm back to covering what I did best here -- new and unique sounds.
