New project by former-editors of Altered Zones: Ad-Hoc
February 2, 2012
One of the best blogs in our opinion was Altered Zones. It was the sister site of Pitchfork covering the more obscure and underground music.

[review] Primavera Festival: Is Indie the New Alternative?
May 31, 2011
Smint offers me a free peppermint. Smint brings ‘unique coolness and intense sensation.’ Smint hides the smell. Smint camouflages what’s happening in the stomach.
