Survival Soundtrack 10 - Shove it

So the survival party came, and it went. The issue should be out in stores by Black Friday. Special thanks goes out to Andrew W.K., Tony O'Neill, Lucid, Littlefield and everyone else who made it out. For now, I'll leave you with the last survival soundtrack pick. Enjoy.

Survival Soundtrack 9 - Happy

We're getting closer and closer to the party. Can you feel the happy?



If you can't feel the happy you can find the happy, tomorrow at Littlefield, with us.

Survival Soundtrack 7 - Honey

I love the random warm weather days, where everyone in New York is walking down the street with a little smile on their face.
This soundtrack pick is inspired by an article in the upcoming issue, about rooftop honey bees, a little piece of nature heaven in the industrial concretesville that is Brooklyn.

Survival Soundtrack 6: Kiss-Off

Five years ago this is what I had to say:

"There is empty space between us in the shape of a boy who used to live and laugh with us and we don't know how to live with it so we live
around it."

Sometimes, survival is about the ones who are no longer with us, but whose memories are our best motivators. Todays survival pick is dedicated to the person whose memory constantly motivates me. This is the song we would always sing together, and it captured every nuance between betrayal and letting go.

Survival Soundtrack 4- Oversaturation

Okay so this survival pick is definitely not new, but I remember listening to this song as a young tyke, and feeling like I could beat up all the bullies who made fun of me for my accent (I am an immigrant after all).
I know that MJ is dead, and people have been playing his songs like cuh-razy. But that is all a testament to survival. He survived his own crazy hectic life to produce some really sustainable work. It gives all of us epic-life-mongers hope, that when we die, some dj will play one of our songs over and over and over again so nobody can forget about us. Or something... leave me alone, it's thirsty Thursday.

Survival Soundtrack 1

In honor of our issue-release party, ten short, sleepless days away - (That's November 19th for the mathematically, or calendarly challenged.) - I will be posting our very own editors picks of Survival songs that we believe capture the current mood of overcoming very well.
Let's start with, Julian Plenti. Better known as Paul Paul (from) Interpol. Sure, some of the songs on this album are like Interpol flashbacks, but this song somehow isn't. This song perfectly captures, say, a very strange, slightly hellish and overall transcendent family vacation in Spain.
