Silicon Valley on HBO Set in the tech hub, Silicon Valley on HBO pokes fun at start-up culture while making all file-sharers wish that Pied Piper actually existed. In the mean time, all us drip-box sufferers have settled for the show with a kick-ass soundtrack and the hilariously frustrating Erlich (T.J. Miller) and everyone’s favorite lurch, Jared (Zach Woods). We tried to keep it our little secret (the season finale airs this Sunday), but Silicon Valley is just too awesome not to share.

Blaqstarr EP – Trinity Baltimore club hero Blaqstarr is exploring awhile new range of options on this EP, including more singing, guitar work but still plenty of the gritty Baltimore club that made him a star.

Derek on Netflix For those of us outside the UK; Season 2 of Netflix comedy-drama Derek will finally be ready to binge tomorrow (5.30) in all its heart-wrenching glory. Set in a nursing home in England, Derek centers around main character Derek Noakes (Ricky Gervais), a vulnerably naive employee with a constant need to be kind. Not only does Ricky Gervais astound The Office fans everywhere with his incredible performance, the show also manages to make you cry and laugh at the same time with its honesty.

Cold Cave – Full Cold Moon – After two full-length albums released by Matador Records, Cold Cave (aka Wesley Eisold) released a series of limited edition singles via his own Heartworm Press and Deathwish Inc. This is the kind of existential angst you can dance to. The best kind.

Glenn Greenwald – N0 Place to Hide – No matter where you stand politically this is a very important book. “From the description: In May 2013, Glenn Greenwald set out for Hong Kong to meet an anonymous source who claimed to have astonishing evidence of pervasive government spying and insisted on communicating only through heavily encrypted channels. That source turned out to be the 29-year-old NSA contractor Edward Snowden, and his revelations about the agency’s widespread, systemic overreach proved to be some of the most explosive and consequential news in recent history.”
