Really nothing like the genuine sense of discovery. It’s one of the few things that never gets old and reminds me everyday why it’s fun to play around on the Intranets. For instance, I get a CD promo in the mail, Google the artist, find three other artists (all new to me) and uncover a [...]

My day job involves a lot of time spent online, staying up to date with new technologies and keeping aware of the big happenings in culture, media and business on the Internet. The things that pertain to music are always of special personal import and I think most will agree that Radiohead’s “pay what you [...]

When I decided to redesign scissorkick, I promised myself that I’d spend more time posting a wider variety of music. Because of the energy DJs employ to scour the web for new tracks, it’s been really easy to generate great responses to the more esoteric remixes, digitized vinyl and brand new cuts that I post. [...]

I’d like to think that most music fans can count the records that changed their lives on one hand. Any more than that and the impact surely becomes diluted. Of course you have your favorite records, but a truly life-altering album may not even be that great of a musical accomplishment. It’s more a confluence [...]

Second recent remix post, but I guess that’s just how it goes when people send you stuff. DJ DRM alerted me to this solid remix from Brooklyn’s Holy Ghost! of another Brooklyn artist, punk-metal warriors Panthers. What may strike you immediately upon clicking on this post are the tags — new disco, electronic/dance, etc. But [...]

Few things are as exciting as a really top-notch, unsolicited, new-to-the-world remix. It wouldn’t be sensible of me to reveal my sources, but scissorkick has recently come across a truly stellar remix of Roots Manuva’s “Again and Again” by Arctic Monkeys’ drummer Matt Helders. Matt does a fantastic job giving this already solid track an [...]
