It's time to bust out the flip flops and clean off the cooler that's been on your porch for 9 months- summer is here! And the start of summer means the start of something else annual and highly anticipated: THE INDIE PONG SONG OF SUMMER SERIES. Last year Cassie won and none of us were happy for her. It was a close contest, but after 4 rounds of fan voting…...

Larry Levan's birthday was a few days ago, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to honor the late integral founding member of the dance music community with a brief overview of his accomplishments. Here's a Larry Levan set from 1979 to set the mood: I will keep this to the point (in typical Indie Pong fashion) so please forgive any generalizations that I'm using in the interest of expediency....

Full-disclosure, I first met Siergio way back in the fall of 2002, as a freshmen in high school. Fairly quickly, he established himself as a personality due to his singing, and what I recall as a vehement defense of superstar singer Monica’s vocal prowess. It’s been a joy to hear him pursue his art these last few years. He seems poised to release another excellent set of tunes, if his latest single, a classic R&B slow burner, “Complicated," is any indication of what else will show up on forthcoming LP, “Before it’s too Late” (...

What a just absolute clinic by Rina Sawayama in the first tour date of the US tour for the songs on the self-titled Sawayama. As in, this was her first US show with all of her new content since she blew up and it was a WILD night. People waited in line for five hours (I didn't I was eating a FAT dinner before) and I can only imagine it was completely worth it for them, because that was truly one of the best shows I've ever seen....

Happy New Year, my friends. I made a promise last year to write an article a week. That worked out great for about 5 months. Then, I went on strike. My strike was... well, not great. No one noticed. It wasn't until a friend's bachelor party where Mates flippantly commented "Oh, you were on strike? I literally didn't notice. Haha you suck." At that moment I realized that I am nothing and that my outburst was futile at best....

As it turned out, 2020 was only part one of a difficult and frankly batsh*t time to exist on planet earth. Fortunately, through all the muck that was 2021, we've been graced with some truly stunning works of art. These are the albums that were able to blend all the pain and beauty this year had to offer. Here are the albums that I continue to spin since release and will be spinning for the foreseeable future:...

So, I’m flying out of Chicago to LA to spend thanksgiving with the girlf and her family. I got to the airport three hours early because I’m a historically punctual and anxious person. With my extra time, I did what any responsible traveler should. I paid a visit to my safe space: Terminal 3’s Chili’s Margarita Bar. The world can be a scary and mean place (see Cassie unleashing her bevy of burner accounts on me)....

We were at George's brother's wedding trying on our tuxes, and "Heroes" by David Bowie started playing. Daw turned to me and said "U2 actually has some good songs." I looked back in disbelief, it seemed too good to be true. I put together two different playlists for the occasion. One was a playlist for the bachelor party: Which was just straight hitters, all of George's brother Jack's favorite songs, from Creed to Fishmans....
