Meet my new favorite duo, Comanechi. Their debut release Crimes of Love will be released November 30th on Merok Records. Check out an interview with the group on Dazed Digital, where front women Akiko provides a track by track rundown from the new release. Make sure you scroll down to the end of the article for the the exclusive Kenneth Anger-inspired video for the single “Mesmerizing Fingers.” I really like how she says mesmerizing, maybe it was intentional that she couldn’t pronounce it? You decide.
For who knows how many years, I have apparently been cheating myself and the music I listen to by using regular headphones. The past week I’ve had the opportunity to try out a pair of headphones from Audio Chi, and am seriously amazed at the quality of sound delivered to my ears. They are light, super comfortable on the dome piece, and look really tight with a simple chrome touch. On top of it all, I mixed this week’s Sound Advice with them on and could not have been happier. Perfect for the desktop or on-the-go, these headphones are staying with me.

Truthfully, I had forgot all about MC Paul Barman but, news of a return is very welcome. Especially when the return involves the help of DOOM, Prince Paul, ?uestlove, Del The Funky Homosapien and Michel Gondry.
Punk’s not Dead, an amazing documentary about punk rock with a ton of interviews is worth your time. If you have not seen it or own the DVD, you can catch it on Fuse. It aired last night and will continue for the month of November (check for show times). Check out the trailer after the jump. You can also pick it up at itunes
