Each week in Sample Wars, we’ll pit two songs which sample the same source material head-to-head against each other, to determine which one rocked the sample better. This week we’re looking at Yellowman’s “Zungguzungguguzungguzeng,” a stone-cold classic dancehall tune that spawned a thousand sing-songy hip hop hooks, as well as the beats for Black Star’s […]
“I feel like ‘the end of the fucking world’ is a common phrase in a teenager’s life,” cartoonist Charles Forsman observes via email, taking some time between busily filling orders for his small press publishing company Oily Comics, and preparing for the release of TEOTFW, a terse, touching graphic novel out via alternative comix behemoth […]

It’s not known exactly how many […]
Not to be outdone by MoMA’s new MoMA Teens Tumblr, other art publications are making attempts at appealing to “niche” markets as well. Photoshop is fun! […]

The works range from relatively affordable artworks to the multi-million dollar price range. At the moment, […]
“Listen In” is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging. The Massachusetts-bred indie rock quartet Speedy Ortiz contributed this week’s playlist, a genre-hopping trip that touches on ’90s rap, ’70s outsider folk, and mellow indie, closing with one of the greatest seven minutes […]
One sunny afternoon in New York, I was walking on the cobblestoned streets of the Meatpacking District. Cobblestones are pretty, but they are also hazardous to your health.
