Radiohead delivers old and new…

By on January 20th, 2009

If you think about it, 2007 is looking like a long time ago. So naturally it makes sense to wonder when Radiohead will follow up its insanely successful album, In Rainbows. Though with appearances at just about every music festival in 2008 and the longevity of the album each single brings, some might consider it [...]

Vedder, Grohl, Ledger to honor Nick Drake

By on January 19th, 2009

Way back in February of last year, we posted news of Heath Ledger’s involvement in the creation of a video for Nick Drake‘s Black Eyed Dog”. However, given the unfortunate and untimely death of Ledger just one month earlier, the irony surrounding to the project seemed to garner more attention than the video itself. This [...]

CoS at Tomorrow Never Knows: Night Five (1/18)

By on January 19th, 2009

It had been a tiresome weekend in the best way possible for CoS: a hectic, eclectic few days filled with crowded music halls, blazing DJ sets, and an all around positive community vibe. But the final night of Tomorrow Never Knows was all about laid back vintage rock and roll with modern production values, showcasing [...]

Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 1/19)

By on January 19th, 2009

It’s Inauguration week! That means Hope (patent pending) is in the air and reruns are not! (Well, except for one lazy talk show host—I’m looking at you, Letterman.) And since soon-to-be President Obama says there is no red or blue America, no gay or straight America, etc., networks seem to be saying that there is [...]

Album Review: The 1900s – Medium High

By on January 19th, 2009

★★★½☆

Chicago is a city known for it’s versatile flavor of original acts. We’ve dealt the world a whole gamete of miscellaneous bands from a slew of genres, and each new year provides a broader spectrum from which new, tiny little bands that could sprout up and “rock out.” The 1900s aren’t going to pull any [...]

YouTube Live: Bruce stands by U2

By on January 19th, 2009

Regardless of your politics, for the sole fact that it brought together a collection of music’s biggest and most legendary names on one stage, in celebration of one historic event, yesterday’s We Are One concert will live in the memories of music fans forever. But perhaps unbeknown to some, the event was not the first [...]

Les Claypool preps album and tour with lots of guests

By on January 19th, 2009

Little did we know that when Les Claypool was tapped to compose several songs for the Ninteno Wii video game, Mushroom Men, last year, the work would result in a spur of creativity, and ultimately a brand new-full length studio album. On March 17th, Les will unveil this album with the release of Of Fungi [...]

Check Out: U2′s “Get On Your Boots”

By on January 19th, 2009

Okay, I’ll officially say it now. Between the previously posted We Are One recap and the YouTube live post that will appear later, today is officially Bruce & U2 Day on CoS, which is a bit weird considering there is another holiday going on. But can you blame us? Both acts are gearing up for [...]

Watch: We Are One again…

By on January 19th, 2009

What’s that? You missed yesterday’s We Are One concert and it wasn’t because you were incapacitated from a random bear attack or fall of a cliff? Of course, you have some explaining to do, but fortunately, a number of videos from the Bruce, Bono, and Barack-friendly event have since surfaced. Basically, the event was good [...]
