Signs for Boring, Oregon don't exactly distill excitement upon the casual passerby—it's a rather unfortunate namesake, one that is so odd it's hard not to wonder whether the whole town is just a joke in the first place, good for a few laughs and perfect for "instagramming."

They started with a musical transformation of Boring, Oregon that featured...

Last night, Yung Skeeter, B.o.B, Matt & Kim, and Santigold all descended on Boring, Oregon to bring a little life into the self-deprecatingly titled town. Thanks to vitaminwater and Fuse TV, we got to watch the livestream of the event, which brought together four artists from four separate quadrants of the genre map for an eclectic and spirited concert.

With her newest single "The Keepers" off her new album, Master of My Make-Believe, Santigold offers viewers an overt societal critique which now has an appropriate surreal visual accompaniment. The video which is describes as a "green tinted social critique set to a highly danceable beat" is...
Suicide Sundaes - Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen, Sunday is back. Greg is here to bring you the week's dirty servings, and some old favorites through a throwdown-throwback to simpler times. A time when bangers were big, remixes were bigger, the bassline bled, and we didn't care about...
The mashup machine that is Chicago DJ/production duo The Hood Internet have struck gold once again this time with their mashup of Usher's Rick Ross assisted single "Lemme See" and Santigold's hit single "Disparate Youth" off her new album Master Of My Make-Believe. As with any respectable mashup...
Art-rap kings Shabazz Palaces got their hands on Spank Rock's single "Car Song" off the duo's latest album Everything is Boring and Everyone is a Fucking Liar. The Seattle collective transformed the originally upbeat and lighthearted track into a more textured, bass-heavy cut. On the...
