Review: Odd Future / Columbus, Ohio / 9-12
I went and saw Odd Future last week in Columbus. The picture above has Odd Future performing with a 12 year-old kid onstage they brought up from the crowd. Now, I cannot say that I would advocate bringing a 12 year-old anywhere but he is pretty symbolic of Odd Future’s success. I do not buy underage people booze at the store when they stop me and and say, “hey will you buy me some booze?” I say “you should find Walmart edited versions of Boots Riley songs.”
But I will say 7th grade for me was Slayer & gangsta rap.
MP3: Action Bronson- It’s Me (Prod. by Party Supplies)
MP3:Action Bronson – Its Me (Prod. by Party Supplies)
Above is a new song that Action Bronson twittered. Below is a video that Noisey put together of Bronson rocking “Bird On A Wire” at the Williamsburg Music Hall. At some point he hands out steaks that him and Vice brought for public consumption. Bronson later goes into the crowd during Riff Raff’s verse.
Action Bronson will be in Columbus, October 12th @ Skullys. I do not think he will feed you but he will probably smoke weed and carry drunk women is my guess. We are a smaller market.

Video: VICE Says This “Larry Zonka” Freestyle is Why They Signed Action Bronson
Vice sent out this video because they ate steaks with Action Bronson at Peter Lugers and then went to one his shows that had something to do with Converse Rubbertracks at the Williamsburg Music Hall after they signed him.. Noisey is dropping a video for Bird on the Wire from that show tomorrow. And I guess they were so stoked that after murdering the crowd that Bronson did this that they unbuttoned their top button and got fronted a bag of cocaine because they felt they had made a good rap investment. Well, the press release said nothing about cocaine or their pants. But I gotta keep it sexy.
Action Bronson is playing Skully’s in Columbus, Ohio on October 12th.

Video: the Child of Lov Proclaims the Beginning is Nigh
The Child of Lov announce the album’s imminence with the above video. The Child of Lov were discovered by Trey Reames who is also the man that hooked Dangermouse up with Cee-Lo which eventually led to something called Gnarls Barkley. Reames discovered Child of Lov after hearing “Heal” on Pitchfork. The appeal is pretty obvious because Child of Lov kinda sounds like if UMO and Cee-Lo Green made music together. Well, not the above accapelle video which sounds like the essence of all things but I am talking about the HEAL song.
The Child of Lov’s album is coming out on a Domino Records imprint Double Six. It guests Damon Albarn, Doom and Thundercat.
Peep other tracks on Complex and Okayplayer .

Download: Sweet Valley – Eternal Champ
Ok, Sweet Valley is hold-up. Wait. Ok.
So Nathan Williams of Wavves put out some records, toured the world and then bought himself a house. His lil bro bro was Kynan chillin’ at their parents San Diego crib-o making electronic pop music. Nathan Williams told Kynan Williams that he would let him move out of his parent’s spot and into the new crib for free under the condition that Kynan would work on this Sweet Valley project with him. I guess they bonded over Shadow, Dipset, Dilla and DJ Screw. The press release doesn’t say that Nathan smoked Kynan out. It does say Kynan is 5 years’ younger than Nathan and Nathan did not want Kynan to steal his weed.
