What the what? Way To War, that’s what! Kirin J. Callinan is hands down the best thing to hit my inbox this month. Coming to you from Australia via our friends Terrible Records in the U.S. (and Siberia Records in Australia), it’s great to know what really happened to Paul Pfeiffer from The Wonder Years (just kidding).

Azealia Banks is everywhere. Did you see that shoot that’s in Dossier? Did you hear that new track, Jumanji? In the spirit of summer and excess and hype, here are some outtakes from our shoot with Michael Flores of the young Rapunzel taking off a pair of sunglasses. Don’t be a Kool Aid dude, one-two. [...]

It’s Friday the 13th. Why not celebrate by playing in traffic or painting something black? Or you can always get killed by this new video from our friend Tezo. Have a miserable day and see you in hell.
