Shuffled #48: 2012 in Review

Every other Wednesday either Matt or Alex C-Y share their love of music in an assortment of ways. Shuffled is a podcast whose format is as varied as their tastes in music, so hopefully you won't ever be bored and everyone can find something to enjoy.

"A big year in music" doesn't even begin to describe 2012. Whatever genre you find pleasing, nearly every facet of the music scene had something new to it. Like pop music? There was Kishi Bashi who road a summer pop wave off of SXSW and into Windows 8's heart, or were you more in mind of the Cult of Gangam Style? Did Killer Mike's political rap make your blood boil, or did you prefer the ghastly beats of The Gasslamp Killer?

There was so much to cover that I had to enlist the help of of Shuffled's other host, Alex Cronk-Young. This is by far the longest edition of the show in it's two years of running, and we don't plan on slowing down in 2013!!!*

*Ed. Note:  On schedule updates are another matter entirely.

Music Video: Math the Band - Four to Six

When I interviewed Math the Band on Shuffled episode 25, they laid out their game plan on rolling out their upcoming album, Get Real. While the album has yet to drop, the first in a series of music videos featuring ever single song on the new album came out a few weeks ago. Directed by Jonathan Yi, the music video is fast and might legitimately be considered insane enough that it needs to be dragged into an institution. I personally cannot stop watching and laughing at it.

Other videos are in production from Math the Band and should be released over the next few months along with Get Real. Also be on the lookout for them this spring as they hit the road with Andrew W.K.'s American tour. If you live in the lower 48 and the video has you interested in more off this band's certifiable crazy style, check out their tour schedule for more details. Want to know more about Math the Band? There is more to be shared on my interview with them on Shuffled and a making of short on Vimeo. Read on to see the video "Four to Six."

Shuffled #25: Math the Band Interview

It's a new year and a new edition of the Shuffled Interview series! This week I'm pleased to have Math the Band, an electronic punk rock band from Providence, Rhode Island. The two of them, Kevin and Justine, have been part of the local music scene for quite awhile now, and with all the touring they do (in addition to having day jobs) it's amazing to see how much crazy energy they put into their shows and songs. Check out more about them on their website and in the links below.
