Marilyn Manson, Slayer head Mayhem Festival ’09
Last year, the Rockstar Energy sponsored Mayhem Festival burst onto the summer festival circuit with a debut lineup that featured the likes of Disturbed, Slipknot, and Dragonforce. Apparently successful as it was overwhelming, the heavy metal-friendly festival has announced plans for its return in 2009 with a lineup that will slay attendees. Literally. According to [...]
Orbital celebrates anniversary with reunion
It’s been nearly five years since the legendary electric duo of Phil and Paul Hartnoll, aka Orbital, split following a career that saw the release of seven studio albums and acclaim as one of the genre’s most successful acts after. However, with 2009 making the 20th anniversary of the band, the Hartnoll brothers plan to [...]
Album Review: Bruce Springsteen – Working On A Dream
Bruce Springsteen’s 1978 classic Darkness On The Edge Of Town ignited a trend of the everyman legend tightening his sound with each album, abandoning the drunken street poetry, production heavy jam of his first three outings in favor of a more cohesive body of work. His subsequent recordings favored shorter, cleaner songs and lyrics more [...]

Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 1/26)
Last week was quite a week. Oscar nominations came out. The U.S. got a new president. Aretha Franklin’s hat became an instant national treasure. And most importantly, Lost returned. Big week. With all that riffraff behind us, all the good stuff is happening on late-night TV this week. We’re in the midst of new music [...]
Album Review: Matt & Kim – Grand
In 2006, Brooklyn’s hopelessly adorable punk/dance duo, Matt & Kim, had repetition on their side when they released their debut album, which gathered an enormous cult following too quick for words. But now almost three years later, the loveable duo’s sophomore effort, Grand, is out, and sadly it’s a bit stale. When we fell in [...]
Grandmaster Flash is bulding a Bridge
Yes, that is indeed Grandmaster Flash in the headline and no, the 51-year-old has not embarked on a new career path in construction. The Bridge is in fact the title of Flash’s forthcoming new studio album, his first high-profile release in over 20 years. Due for release on March 20th via Strut Records, the 20-track [...]
Death Cab plots spring trek
Turns out not even an engagement to Zooey Deschanel can slow down Death Cab for Cutie‘s Ben Gibbard. Between his band’s appearance on an upcoming Starbucks compilation, copyright issues with the label, and slew of new tour dates, the Seattle native will barely have enough time to work on a new Postal Service album, let [...]
Check Out: Lasagna Cat
Internet videos are hit or miss, and boy are there a lot of them. In all of the digital clutter and muck, one is apt to find the classics (e.g. those G.I. Joe PSA’s), the misses (e.g. the unfortunate yet oddly chubby Star Wars kid), and the unnecessary clutter (e.g. 90% of YouTube). Yet no [...]
