In other news…CUSTODIAN is heading up to New Mexico in just a few days to perform at The Albuquerque Film Festival. According to the website, “The Albuquerque Film Festival is a community organization dedicated to celebrating writers, filmmakers, musicians, and artists from around the globe whose visions break rules and startle the imagination.” I’m not sure I could describe CUSTODIAN any better if I tried.

Alert your New Mexico brethren that their weekend just got more interesting. My only question…are they going to check the horse head? You can find CUSTODIAN set times HERE!

“DJ Car Stereo (Wars) Explains It All recycles Top 40 hits with 40 bars of Dirty South verses in a manner that would make Girl Talk blush, while (Neiliyo’s) Copyright 1302 layers original electro-funk raps over beats and bleeps from the 1980s….”

Writer Patrick Caldwell goes on to point out that the record “acts as a passionate love letter to popular music likely to trigger at least a few dozen nostalgic remembrances.” Double true!

ATTN Chicago! Neiliyo and DJ Car Stereo (Wars) are heading up to the windy city to play a Lollapalooza pre-party at the Hideout on with our good friends the Hood Internet. It is going down on August 5th, so make sure that night is open! Speaking of the Hood Internet – have you grabbed any of their summer soundtracks yet?  Here ya go : Hood x Anatomy Magazine’s Great American Mixtape and Hood x Mishka’s TRILLWAVE.

Recently – the new album Explains it All was featured on Say It Like Slam who hypothesized: “ that mashup mixtapes are the best workout albums. If done correctly, they are a seamless hour of party music. And if you’re anything like me, you need something upbeat to keep you going between the 2nd and 3rd mile of your run! Another (awesome) mixtape to join the ranks of Girl Talk, DJ AM and Mochi Beats is DJ Car Stereo (Wars)!”

The Austin American Statesmen’s online presence Austin 360 took a peak in our refrigerator for their column What’s In Your Fridge Friday. Writer  Addie Broyles stated that Emily “is as obsessed with music as she is food.”  In addition to pimping our love for garlic and local beers, the article also managed to provide some props for Neiliyo who had one of the busiest weeks ever playing a huge outdoor festival in Houston as well as opening slots at two sold out shows in Austin. He’s not finished yet either: he’ll be in New York playing a show at the Delancy this week and soon after that in Chicago! Read the whole article on Emily HERE!

Emily’s personal and incredibly educational writings were also praised on Recovering Lazyholic, a webpage that encourages you to get up and make something yet simultaneously makes you stay in front of the screen reading about all the cool stuff on the site itself. It’s a brilliant catch 22. Erin from Recovering Lazyholic was the radiant mind behind the art for the Neiliyo Game Night slap bracelets, so we have a lot of respect for her. Emily’s food writing getting co-signed by Recovering Lazyholic is a awesome stamp of approval. Read the whole thing HERE.
