It’s pop versus rock on today’s edition of the Weekly Top Ten Wild Card. In one side of the ring, we have the annoyingly hyphenated Diddy-Dirty Money along with up-and-coming songwriter Oh Land. In the other corner, we’ve got Linkin Park and Cake, two bands […]

Aural Only: Lykke Li
Spoiler alert! Within the next couple of hours, a review of Taylor Swift‘s new album will appear on this blog. Since we’d rather not apologize in advance for submitting you to bad country-pop music, we thought we’d balance things out with Swedish indie singer Lykke […]
Album Review: Sufjan Stevens
Shortly after 2005, it became wildly evident that Sufjan Stevens was bored with himself. The indie artist had just completed two conceptual albums, Michigan and Illinois, based on a long-running project about the fifty states. Though the songs were undoubtedly beautiful, it was clear that […]
Aural Only: Anoraak
For all the shit I talk about Ke$ha and Katy Perry, some folks have been curious about my actual taste in music. Lately, I haven’t been listening to much beyond Anoraak‘s debut full-length Wherever The Sun Sets. Whenever I’m having a rough day, this album […]
Album Review: Twin Shadow
Don’t judge a book by its cover. The same rule applies to Twin Shadow‘s debut album Forget. With neutral tones and poor design plaguing the front cover, this first impression is nowhere near indicative of the sounds you’ll hear within. Quite honestly, this project excels […]
Aural Only: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Tired of all the so-called “crappy dance music” we post on Manhunt Daily? Prepare yourself for something completely different. Although I’ve heard the name Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros thrown around within the blogosphere, I didn’t get a chance to listen to them until […]
Vote For The Weekly Top Ten Wild Card
Is anyone on this site talented at filling slots? We’re trying to pick a song for the last remaining position on our Weekly Top Ten, and it’s not as easy as you’d think! The choices have been rounded down to four selections, spanning from indie […]
Drawn To You: Tony Breed
Hitched is a webcomic about a married gay couple named Finn and Charlie, not to be confused with the Will Smith movie of a similar name. The strip’s creator Tony Breed provides a very realistic view into what it’s like to be in a committed […]
Aural Only: Of Montreal
Every indie gay in my social circle swears by the name of Kevin Barnes, so there’s been a decent amount of pressure to feature Of Montreal‘s latest single “Coquet Coquette” on the pages of Manhunt Daily. Prepare yourself for a totally weird music video. This […]
Album Review: Arcade Fire
In some regards, Arcade Fire are the Carrie Underwoods of the indier-than-thou crowd. One record after another, they consistently deliver exactly what their fans are looking for. And the big difference in this (albeit ridiculous) comparison? While Underwood sticks to a formula that’s proven to be […]
