Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 1/5)
At the start of a new year, most people hope for continued health, more money, true love, and a bunch of other stuff that didn’t happen last year and won’t happen in 2009. Nonetheless, the real reason to look forward to the new year is the return of new performances on the talk show circuit [...]
Interview: Raise High the Roof Beam
Great bands often falter out of the gates. Fortunately, nobody has told this to Raise High the Roof Beam. Throughout their delicately textured catalogue, the Chicago based rockers presented themselves about as well as you could to a packed Empty Bottle on December 30th. New “Indie” bands usually bend over backwards to appear as off-the-cuff [...]
Watch: Springsteen’s “Life Itself”
A question for Mr. Bruce Springsteen: between all that comes with the release of two new albums, preparing for a Super Bowl Halftime show, and jamming with Bon Jovi, when good sir, do you actually sleep?

While you were gone…
Ah, the holiday season has all but come and gone. The ginger bread houses have been eaten, the presents unwrapped, the bottles of champagne devoured, and we now find ourselves back in the cold, harsh reality of work and winter. Well, that is for most of us. For one, we here at Consequence of Sound [...]
