Lil Wayne confirms new album and yes, it’s a rock one…
We’d like to apologize to Drake. When the Toronto based rapper noted in an interview earlier this month that he would be appearing on Lil Wayne‘s upcoming new rock album, yes rock as in rock ‘n roll, we were a bit skeptical. Alright, at that point, we honestly believed there was a better chance of [...]
Springsteen continues to defy logic, preps Darkness reissue
There’s no use in trying to sum up Bruce Springsteen‘s current activities; after all, they literally change by the day. Despite the fact that he is just days away from the release of his latest studio effort, Working on a Dream, a Super Bowl halftime performance – have you made your setlist prediction? – and [...]
Interview: Pat Thetic (of Anti-Flag)
Last Tuesday, on Inauguration Day, even the world’s most devout communist would agree that Washington D.C. was thee place to be. If you didn’t catch the eye opening visuals across news stations Tuesday morning, then you missed a landmark addition to America’s history. To summarize, it was chaotic…but in a very, very good way. More [...]
The Black Lips strip, make out, and flee India
What you’re about to read is something you couldn’t make up. The following is what happened on the Black Lis recent trip to India. Ahead of the upcoming release of their brand new studio effort, 200 Million Thousand, and a slew of European and U.S. tour dates, The Black Lips made a quick stop to [...]
Album Review: Derek Trucks Band – Already Free
Referred to by Rolling Stone as “the best guitarist of his generation”, Derek Trucks has done quite a job making a name for himself. Between gigs with Buddy Guy, the Allman Brothers Band and his successful solo work, he’s had quite the celebrated career, which all started at the age of nine. At twenty-nine years [...]
PB&J bring life to album cover, tour dates
With Peter Bjorn & John set to liven things up in a little less than two months, March 31st to be exact, the Swedish trio has unveiled a few more items ahead of the forthcoming release. For one, PB&J have dished out Living Thing‘s artwork, and let’s just say it doesn’t really embody the nature [...]
Guilty Pleasure: Hellogoodbye – Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!
I blame my ex for this…no even she couldn’t stand them, so that’s not fair. When going in to this I looked at it by these standards, would people look down upon me if they heard me playing these songs? Would I quickly change the song if it came up on shuffle around people I [...]
YouTube Live: Jolie Holland’s “Mad Tom of Bedlam”
The fiddle she plays on “Mad Tom of Bedlam” sounds like an old metal cereal box, the inside sounding resonantly hollow, like the acoustics you’d find in a cement-floored recital hall. This is enough to make me swoon, but you might say that these are minor details. Wait, let’s start again. Jolie Holland knows her [...]
Animal Collective grooves the masses (1/22)
Looking around the Metro, geeked up for Animal Collective, I feared a war would break out at any moment. On one side, the high school hipsters, all glammed up for their night on the town, in from the burbs on the Metra. On the other, the unavoidable jam-bros, dudes who had a little smoke before [...]
Jay-Z chills out on The Blueprint 3
Everyone who’s familiar with Jay-Z‘s past work knows that the Brooklyn based rapper is fast to finish what needs to be done. Hell, one of his greatest albums to date, The Blueprint, was written in two days, so it’s obvious the entrepreneur knows how to get “shit” done. That’s not the case with his latest [...]
