Album Review: Black Gold – Rush
Some may say that Brooklyn, New York has taken over as the center of the independent music world within the past decade. While it’s debatable on both ends of the musical spectrum, there’s no denying the multitude of bands that have spawned from its streets. The duo of keyboardist/singer Eric Ronick and drummer/mult-instrumentalist Than Luu, [...]
Watch: Bruce Springsteen – “The Wrestler”
So what if the Oscars didn’t like it; I think most are in agreement that “The Wrestler”, the subdued little number that was first offered as a musical accompaniment for the film of the same title, only to resurface later as a bonus track on Working on a Dream, is still one of the best [...]

Album Review: Abe Vigoda – Reviver [EP]
Despite being one of the mainstays of the noise/pop scene hanging over Los Angeles venue The Smell like so much smog, Chino, California’s Abe Vigoda has spent most of their day in the sun obscured by the shadows of much-lauded guitar/drums duo No Age. And for good reason. Heretofore, Abe Vigoda was a chimey, noisy pop band in [...]
Simon and Garfunkel like each other again, plan tour
One of music’s most famous duos has again reunited, and all it took was the restoration of New York’s Beacon Theater. Ok, so maybe not entirely, but last Friday did mark the first time Simon and Garfunkel performed together in over two years. At a concert to mark the reopening of the historic theater, the [...]
Justice and So-Me team up for some Club Coke
Being one of the largest corporations in the United States, Coca-Cola has little trouble getting its hands on anything and everything its ever wanted. That being said, it was still a bit surprising to hear of the soda company’s latest marketing ploy, in which Coke has tapped the talents of France’s hottest Christian DJ duo, [...]
Hammerhead splits open the Paramount Room (2/17)
You’re probably unaware of them, and with good reason, but Hammerhead just might be your next favorite thang. Of course, you’d have to be a Chicagoan to truly appreciate their simplistic yet raucous live show, but the songs can go anywhere. That’s what makes ‘em intriguing, accessible…and frisky? The Chicago duo, which consists of CoS [...]
Mountain Jam gets jammier with new lineup additions
Brace yourself, Warren Haynes is back and ready to party. From May 29-31, 2009, live music, much of it his, will be taking over New York’s Hunter Mountain for what will be Mountain Jam V. And thanks to a slew of recent edition thinks truly did just get a while lot jammier. Umphrey’s McGee, The Grateful [...]
Watch: Kanye West puts “Heartbreak” to video
Hey! It’s Kanye West everyone! Just because we haven’t posted about the Chicago native since the SNL debacle, doesn’t mean we still don’t dig 808s & Heartbreak or love Kanye any less. Just between the whole call-me-Martin Louis the King Jr. thing and dabblings in porno, he hasn’t left us much to work with of [...]
A Spoon full of demos…
Let’s face it, as listeners, we’re pretty anxious. A few months after an album’s release, we’re bound to chalk up the next effort’s sound. That’s why we scour the internet for nights on end, looking for whatever clues and puzzle pieces we can find. Seldom do we find anything that’s not a rumor, or some [...]
Album Review: N.A.S.A. – The Spirit of Apollo
In the same vein as Handsome Boy Modeling School, Think Differently Music, and Thievery Corporation, N.A.S.A. (North America South America)’s The Spirit of Apollo is yet another attempt at creating a well put together collection of guest heavy recordings. These exercises, regardless of the names or who is behind the project, usually turn out to [...]
