When the ancient Polynesians invented surfing, they often used a paddle to help them navigate. Fast-forward a few millennia, and Stand-Up Paddleboarding, or SUP, finds itself trendy again. Part of its increasing popularity is that standing upright allows surfers to spot waves more easily and thus catch more of them, multiplying the fun factor. Paddling back to the wave becomes less of a strain as well. The ability to cruise along on flat inland water, surveying the sights, is another advantage. Finally, it’s a good core workout. If you’re sold on the idea, schedule an intro SUP lesson, free with board and paddle rental, and you may find yourself riding the waves like a Polynesian king.More

You knew, with a meteorite-streaming-across-the-sky kind of synth beat like the song has, that the video for new Zion I & the Grouch track "Rockit Man" was gonna be epic. And so it is. The video finds our collaborating boys melting into sand dunes, becoming one with hurricanes, holding forth against the unspeakable vastness of a sparkling night sky. This is adult hip-hop, yo -- the clip's given even more gravitas by the billowy, self-serious presence of singer Silk-E on the hook. But even with all that grown-up weight to carry, a slow-mo groove and the video's black-and-white visuals manage to dazzle. From the new album Heroes in the Healing of the Nation, which came out Tuesday, here's Zion I and the Grouch with "Rockit Man":
Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'.
Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
