Here’s one more for everyone on this Monday-ish feeling Thursday, this time from the Berkley, California alternative hip-hop act Why? Originally a solo project of frontman/lyrical-mastermind Yoni Wolf, Why? evolved into a full band prior to the release of their most recent album Eskimo Snow (released on September 22nd of this year); Even the Good Wood Gone [...]

Today felt like a good day to post another Why? track; Fatalist Palmistry is currently my favorite track from the Berkeley, California indie/hip-hop act, though this title seems to change bi-weekly.  The song can be found on Why?’s third full-length studio album Alopecia, released in March of 2008.  Again, Yoni Wolf’s lyrics steal the show on [...]

There are 57 days until this year’s Polaris Music Prize gala, and still no invitation for BowlingStone.com; I’m still feeling pretty optimistic however.  I thought I would close out the week with another tune from the American indie/alt-rock/hip-hop band Why?.  The band seems to have this uncanny ability to exclusively create songs I can listen to 15 18 [...]

With Why?’s next album (Eskimo Snow) not slated for release until September of this year, I’m not entirely sure how this song made it’s way onto YouTube; Regardless, I am very very vibed to have stumbled across it.  Yoni Wolf, the man behind Why?, has described the upcoming release as “…the least hip-hop out of anything [...]

It feels like years since my last Why? post, so here it is.  I was perusing Pitchfork today, as I so often do when I should be working, and came across a post announcing an upcoming Why? album entitled Eskimo Snow, scheduled for release this fall; This pleased me greatly.  Today’s track comes from the Berkeley, [...]

Is it lame to post a song called Good Friday on a day called Good Friday?  I’ve decided it’s 40% lame, 40% rad, and 20% holy shit this song is good.  As you may have guessed from the title of this post, and the first two sentences, tonight’s tune is titled Good Friday.  If you [...]

I’ve got ANOTHER tune from Why? today, making the Berkeley, California indie-rock/hip-hop band my most blogged about artist.  By Torpedo Or Crohn’s is another track from the band’s third full-length release Alopecia.  Front-to-back, side-to-side, or however one consumes an album, Alopecia is one of the solidest albums I have listened to over the past year.  The [...]

Tonight’s post is another track from the Berkeley, California hip-hop/indie-rock band Why?. It seems like every song I hear from this group I end up liking more than the last.  Simeon’s Dilemma comes from the bands third full-length studio album Alopecia.  The two previous Why? songs I posted, The Hollows and These Few Presidents, come from [...]

Alright, I am back to posting after a week long drought; I apologize for the delay.  It has been a hectic week with my day-job moving to a new location.  Anyways, I’ve got another track for you today from the hip-hop indie-rock group Why?.  I posted These Few Presidents a couple weeks back and thought [...]

The hits just keep on rolling with the second post of the day today. Not that I have anything better to do as I sit across the table from my father, both of us huddled over our laptops typing feverishly, not a word spoken, and sharing nothing more than the occasional nod. It’s the little [...]
