Manchester Orchestra sets LP3 date, issues single
Atlanta’s own Manchester Orchestra is on its way to a brilliant year. Finally, the emo-punk quintet will be releasing their long awaited follow up to 2006′s I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child. Though to the band’s credit, it’s not like they’ve been lounging around, acting like lazy rock stars, all dried out of new [...]

Album Review: Of Montreal – Jon Brion Remix [EP]
Your average producer isn’t a household name, or really any sort of celebrity outside of music industry insiders. Celebrity producers-think Phil Spector (sans murder trial), Rick Rubin, Sam Phillips, Timbaland-don’t come along very often. Whether or not that’s a good or bad thing, I’m not sure. Some producers make a name by working with artists [...]
The jacket is back! Coldplay shells out summer tour dates
Just days before Chris Martin and Co. are set to be profiled by Steve Kroft on 60 Minutes (see below) and hit the stage with the slew of other musical heavy-hitters in celebration of The Grammys, the English outfit, perhaps best known to you and me as Coldplay, has rolled out dates for a summer [...]
311 readies an Uplifter
Music’s favorite guilty pleasure will soon be returning with a new collection of drug-inspired, jock-approved hits that should make for some pretty entertaining moshing in the coming months. Yes, nearly a year after the band first announced plans to enter the studio and more than three years since the release of Don’t Tread on Me, [...]
Heartless Bastards roll out a “mountain” of a tour
Fresh off the release of their latest studio effort, The Mountain, the Heartless Bastards have added even more to their already mammoth U.S. tour that is now as impressive an endeavor as anything that went down in Peak. As a result, the Bastards’ 31-date trek, which kicked off last week, will now see Erika Wennerstrom [...]
Passion Pit shakes up The Black Cat (2/3)
I wonder what that phone call was like for Cambridge, Mass’ Passion Pit. The call that told them they had not only sold out the venue, but were moving to a bigger spot to accommodate the demand. What was originally slated as a very intimate performance in the tiny back room of the Black Cat [...]
Audio Archaeology: The Voyager Golden Record (1977)
Hey, folks! Welcome to the first installment of Audio Archaeology, a bi-monthly feature of eclectic music. Just so you know, this new column is in conjunction with Media Potluck, which covers (and uncovers) all manner of off the beaten track media: video, audio, print, and more. They scavenge thrift store bins, yard sales, and the [...]
Twitter raises money, gives away free music with Twestival
Twitter is quickly becoming the be-all end-all of music. After all, not only can you get updates about what Sonic Youth is doing in studio and the latest goings-ons here at CoS, but now you can use the website to get tunes, and free ones at that. Yes, in the latest move of Twitter brilliance, [...]
Where We Live: Cirkus – Stockholm, Sweden
Picture this: Your heartbeat is skipping away and the anticipation of the upcoming show is about to end its week long, perhaps even month long, crucifying wait. Due to the rounded geometrics of this particular architectural bundle of charm, the line into the show is elegantly curved, painfully keeping you aware of how far back [...]
Ryan Adams sends out a Valentine…EP
You might be waiting around to be pricked by cupid, but loony bin Ryan Adams is on the prowl already. Come February 10th, four days shy of the big V-Day, he’ll be releasing some hand picked “love” songs and selling ‘em as a special holiday EP. So, if you’re lacking the cheap, flimsy Peanuts valentine [...]
