Guns n’ Roses
I’m totally a playlist content curator right now thanks to the folks at Ditch TV allowing me to party in their sandbox.
They have no idea (or maybe they do?) what they’ve unleashed.
Here are 10 of my recent Ditch playlists:
LCD Soundsystem and All of Their Friends
Ghostface Killah is the Greatest
14 Times Neil Hamburger Was Amazing
15 Melodramatic Guns n’ Roses Moments

Ghostface Killah
I’ve been in-house helping do some editing at Spinner AOL the last couple weeks and it’s meant I’ve also written up a batch of quickie news stories. Here’s a bunch of ’em:
Metric inspired by Gary Glitter. Optics-wise, if Metric want to avoid lowbrow jokes they should avoid touring Thailand this year.
Ghostface Killah, Matthew Good, Bad Religion free shows at NXNE. This is super-exciting because I now understand what Ghostface is talking about.
Japandroids are covering Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds. The song they’re doing is “Jack The Ripper.”
Mutek Festival gets all 0110011110110110111001011011011101100000010000011010111010101. Tim Hecker.
Hey Ocean! make a nice song.

The Wire meets The Wu
The Wire is a brilliant television program. Ghostface Killah is a brilliant rapper. But both of them are kind of difficult to understand — their respective art forms are filled with codified language, insider street slang that’s virtually impenetrable.
At least, that’s how Aaron felt about the music of the Ghostman until he watched all five seasons of The Wire. Then it all made sense. The criminals of the show provided him his eureka moment to understanding the Wu Tang Clan member’s music.
Wanting to share this revelation with the world, Aaron wrote How The Wire Helped Me Finally Understand Ghostface Killah for AUX TV. You can read the story by clicking here.
