| Viva Tour: A weird night in Albuquerque, New Mexico Posted: 29 Oct 2008 10:15 PM CDT Imagine walking down the street of a small city in the middle of America on a Tuesday night. You see a shitty looking bar called the Moonlight Lounge with black plastic bags over the windows and a few teenagers wearing baseball caps smoking outside.

Seems as good a place as any. |

| Posted: 29 Oct 2008 10:24 AM CDT In the spirit of Halloween, it's only fair to feature a release from an artist called Horror Inc., and a release called 'Horrorama EP'. But the name is not the only reason this record is a Halloween delight. This thing is scary - really, really scary. And is absolutely essential for anyone who likes their Halloween party soundtrack to come with an extra helping of insanity. |
| Viva Tour bus crabs (cribs), by Anthony Audiofly Posted: 29 Oct 2008 06:22 AM CDT Anthony from Audiofly takes us deep inside the smoke-infested electronic music van otherwise known as the Viva Tour bus. For 12 days these DJs have slept, eaten, peed (no shitting is allowed) and smoked on this bus as it travels across North America and it’s starting to smell (which you can't tell through our video). |
