Candy canes, tinsel, and plastic Santas go up on store shelves earlier and earlier every year. It’s no longer shocking to see twinkling lights and velvet bows nestled next to the Halloween candy and fall decor. Now, if RiteAid or QFC aren’t decorated with faux snow and artificial trees in August, we begin to panic. [...]

As KEXP’s broadcast during CMJ mellows down to an end, so does the music with dreamy, twilight pop band The xx. The quartet of 20-years-olds from South West London were destined to make a name for themselves when they met at Elliot School, the same high school of Hot Chip, Four Tet and Burial. At [...]
