November 13 2014 // Fredy M. Iuni // Magazine // Music Reviews

Highways, Heartaches and Time Well Wasted is the newest release by musician Lisa LeBlanc. According to LeBlanc, this six track EP was inspired by her travels through the U.S. in the beat generation tradition. It consists of five original tracks and her take on the American folk song "Katie Cruel". This EP surges ahead with a raw and at times grungy musical aesthetic, which is propelled by Lisa's powerful and pleading vocals.

Mix Tape News!

November 3 2014 // CJLO Mix // Mix Tapes

Tone Deaf has just published the track list and a Vimeo video of a mix tape created by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in 1988 entitled "Montage of Heck". According to the article, the mix is "a creepy 36-minute production from the young mind of Cobain, which was pieced together a full year before Nirvana's debut release Bleach". Creepy?
