It’s been a long time since Passion Pit hit the airwaves, and everyone should remember what this bands made of. From previous hits like “The Reeling” and “Sleepyhead”, the Boston natives made a huge first impression, and it was smooth sailing from there. Heavy basslines, classic sampling, and melodic progressions, we can definitely admit that we’re kind of excited for their future. “I’ll Be Alright” returned my forgotten nostalgia for their music. From the optimistic synths and samples, to the pessimism that hides under the melodically uplifting lyrics, “I’ll Be Alright” has Passion Pit all over it.

Yesterday, May 4, 2012, the music world lost a comrade and a legend as Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch, founder of the Beastie Boys, humanitarian, film director and so much more, passed away. It is with great sadness that we at Moheak, alongside the rest of the world, acknowledge the loss of such an amazing, talented, and endearing life force in the entertainment community. His works will never be forgotten, and his contributions will leave an everlasting impact on those he reached. RIP MCA.

From BeastieBoys.com…

“It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam “MCA” Yauch, founding member of Beastie Boys and also of the Milarepa Foundation that produced the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits, and film production and distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer. He was 47 years old. Read the rest of this entry →

For those of you who live in California, we feel your pain. This year’s Lollapalooza’s lineup is once again packed. So packed to the point where flying out to Chicago seems reasonable, considering who’ll be on stage at Grant Park Aug 3-5. From The Black Keys, The Shins, Toro Y Moi, Justice, M83, SBTRKT, Washed Out, and Little Dragon (just to name a few), this year’s festival is spoiled with artists from all different genres. Check out more details here!

Being a huge M83 fan, I’ve always been scavenging for remixes of any of the many hits on their new album. Unfortunately, none has ever sufficed, and disappointment eventually became consistent (well, maybe except for the Trentmoller Remix). However, The Knocks, along side vocalist Mandy Lee, totally flip “Midnight City” into a whole different spectrum, while still keeping the uplifting aura of the original. I don’t say this much, but you NEED to listen to this. Free download too?!
