fyi: PBR Goes For $44 A Bottle In China

“In the U.S., Pabst Blue Ribbon (or PBR) is a cheap, unpretentious beer popular among hipsters. In China, it’s “Blue Ribbon 1844,” costs about $44 a bottle, and is called a “world-famous spirit.” It also comes in a funny bottle.”
Purity Ring is coming to Bumbershoot 2011 with its infectious beats and ghostly vocals. The future pop duo is a new project started by Megan James and Corin Roddick of New York-based Gobble Gobble. Their sound pulls from different corners of the electro universe, but takes on a shape of its own.
Ungirth your mind and GIRD your loins! Purity Ring gett dutty in Seattle! #bumbershoot

Beat Connection - In The Water
The percussion feels like the grains of sand sticking to your wet feet, the vocals splashing across the track like the waves spilling onto the shore. I don’t think you’re likely to find a more apt music video for a track all year. The acid-trip, watercolour visuals meet this certified summer anthem of this year and last, like the meeting of a pair of best friends. [JM]
