Album Review: Goblin Cock – Come With Me If You Want To Live!
Imagine a fantasy land far away from your own. On the journey to get there, you pass by magical crystals, magnificent castles and mountains of malleable metals that the fire pits of Hell forge the strongest swords and arrows with. With that mental picture in mind, this opens up the musical portals for San Diego’s [...]
Hiatt and Lovett talk, swap, and rock in Pittsburgh (2/5)
John Hiatt and Lyle Lovett, two of the most accomplished singer-songwriters of the last three decades, took the stage at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Music Hall Thursday night for an evening of trading songs, stories, and jokes. It was a remarkably low-key affair. No sets or elaborate backdrops. Just a couple of spotlights, two acoustic guitars, and [...]
Watch: Lil Wayne talks Gangsta with Katie Couric
Lil Wayne is not your average rapper. Hell, he’s not your average human being. “We are not the same/I am a martian,” he states at the beginning of the Carter III‘s “Phone Home” and well, he may be right. Nothing he does is ordinary, much is inexcusable, but in between there’s also a great deal [...]
Johnny Marr busy with The Cribs, Jim Fairchild takes spot in Modest Mouse
Apparently not even Johnny Marr’s absence can keep the Modest Mouse tour bus from hitting the road. Either that or the English guitarist’s role isn’t as permanent as we thought it to be. Whatever the result may be, one things for sure: come later this month, Modest Mouse will be embarking on a month-long North [...]
mp3 Remix: Friday Mixtape XLII
Shouldn’t the weather be warming up by now? Seriously, at least for us east coasters, it’s absolutely brutal outside. In fact, if you don’t have to go outside, you probably shouldn’t. Instead, sit down, relax, and warm up with this week’s edition of our Friday Mixtape. As always, below you will find the week’s best [...]
Kings of Leon: Coming soon to an area near you…
After proving they could not only fill an arena, and the world’s most famous that, but blow it away as well (maybe?), Kings of Leon are ready to take their act to similar size venues all across the country. Following a slew of dates across Europe and Australia, which begin next week, the Tennessee outfit [...]
Watch: Peter Bjorn & John – “Nothing to Worry About”
Forgive us for being a bit skeptical of Peter Bjorn & John‘s forthcoming studio album, Living Thing, but between the early reviews that the record, officially set for release on March 31st, will be the band’s most experimental work to date, complete the sounds of electro-pop, hip-hop and Afro-pop, and the its recently revealed, really [...]
Album Review: Color Cassette – Forever Sparrow
In a world where any bozo with a laptop can loop together a few sounds and call it a day, it’s refreshing to hear a band like Color Cassette keep their electronics sounding lo-fi and in masterful control. Equal parts Campfire Songs strumming, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot scratchy field recordings and Microphones harmonies, this concept album [...]
Watch: My Chemical Romance – “Desolation Row”
With Watchmen‘s debut on the big screen still a month away (March 6th to be exact, assuming legal entanglements do not prevent it), it’s hard not to restrain ourselves from storming the studios demanding an early release, especially now that it so happens that the end truly is nigh. Not that anyone should be surprised, [...]
Gomez rides A New Tide
After spending the last year touring in support of Dave Matthews Band and watching frontman Ian Ball dabble his hand in the solo world, Gomez will look to return in 2009 with A New Tide. The British outfit’s aptly titled sixth studio album, due for release on March 31st via ATO Records, is billed as [...]
