Deer Tick heading on road for “long time”
Ahead of the release of their much anticipated sophomore studio album, tentatively titled Born on Flag Day and scheduled to hit record stores later this year, the gentlemen of Deer Tick will look to take the latest single (see below) from last year’s debut album quite literally in the coming months. In other words, they’ll [...]
Pearl Jam’s elusive, ninth studio effort
No one would ever consider Pearl Jam lazy, what with their festival headlining duties, reissues, and solo efforts, but after three years with no follow up, some concerns are raised. Fortunately, the band keeps up its public appearances and we know the Seattle quintet’s ninth studio album has been in the works for quite sometime. [...]
Watch: TV on the Radio sinks, Andy Samdberg and T-Pain ride away
The second indie-friendly music guest to take to Saturday Night Live since the turn of the new year, TV on the Radio hit the stage Saturday night to introduce mainstream America to the album many within the blogosphere, including yours truly, consider the best of 2008. Unfortunately, whether because of faulty sound equipment or some [...]
Yes world, Blink-182 is back!
For all that was last night’s Grammys, perhaps it’s a bit ironic that the evening’s biggest moment can be summed up in just three words: Blink is back. After months of speculation, the iconic punk trio confirmed its return last night with one long-awaited proclamation, “We used to play music together and we decided to [...]

Album Review: Squarepusher – Numbers Lucent [EP]
Last time we heard from Tom Jenkinson, aka Squarepusher, he had a hallucinatory “dream” of Eskimo drummers, a time-warping, bearded classical guitarist, a Venus fly-trap, a gigantic glowing coat hanger, and some kayaks. How awesome does that “daydream” sound? Well, the result was the very polarizing 2008 record, Just A Souvenir. Instead of the jazz [...]
Rock History 101: Derek & the Dominoes’ “Layla”
The beauty of Pattie Boyd has given birth to some of music’s finest songs. Boyd claims that The Beatles’ “Something”, written by the late George Harrison, is about her. By all accounts, Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” was written for her, as well. There is yet another song written by Clapton from his time in Derek [...]
Blink-182 to record new album?
Aside from Radiohead’s rumored marching band and M.I.A’s pregnant performance, easily the most anticipated moment of tomorrow’s Grammy awards will be the reunion of Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker, the first time in nearly five years that the members of Blink-182 will appear onstage together. While as of now, the trio will only [...]
Watch: Fleet Foxes take on shapes with “Mykonos”
Over the last year, Seattle’s Fleet Foxes have been the indie darlings for just about everyone in the music press. In 2008, their EP, Sun Giant, rattled college airwaves and shortly after (a few months, to be exact), their self-titled debut blew everyone’s minds away, and quickly became every beach goer’s newfound friend. With their [...]
