Joaquin Phoenix ain’t playin’
Oh yes, another one of those questionable stories, the answer to which nobody really knows. Who is it this time? Don’t get too excited, it’s still just good ol’ Jaoquin Phoenix. Needless to say, each development about Joaquin Phoenix’s allleged career change invites the blogs and gossip mags to get their fingers dirty, and sadly [...]
The Kills plan a tour with horror and magic
Most bands bands appearing on this year’s Coachella lineup built their tour around the Indio, California based festival, using it as a “finale” of sorts, a great way to cap off a North American tour. But for The Kills, the U.K. based outfit out will use Coachella as a springboard for its newly unveiled North [...]
Spinal Tap talks next real record
Ever since the hilarious mockumentary This is Spinal Tap came out in 1984, the fake metal band Spinal Tap has been all the rave. From albums to benefit concerts, action figures to Guitar Hero appearances, Spinal Tap’s been keeping all their true (and fictional) fans happy for over two decades now…and they can’t help but [...]
Album Review: M. Ward – Hold Time
After some serious sidetracking with fellow musician Zooey Deschanel and their following side project She & Him, the loveable folksy singer M. Ward’s new solo album Hold Time is finally here. And without much surprise, the Portland based musician’s sixth effort proves to be yet another example of Ward’s ability to create stunning and impossibly [...]
Franz Ferdinand: Tonight = Everywhere

It makes for some great headlines when it comes to their newly announced North American tour. You know, the type like, Franz Ferdinand will be performing in support of Tonight tonight, or [...]
Who likes Ticketmaster? Not Bruce or Congress…
It’s probably not a good time to be Irving Azoff these days. After all, not much is going right for the CEO of Ticketmaster. In addition to currently being involved in talks concerning a possible merger with either Live Nation or AEG, a report that has resulted in a fury of bad press and negative [...]
Album Review: Hoobastank – For(n)ever
Yes the truth is a bitter pill to swallow, but apparently these Cali boys who were inspired by Incubus and schooled alongside members of Linkin Park did not succeed to the extent of their associated acts. In fact, the peak of their popularity stemmed from a Mountain Dew commercial in 2001 and an overplayed love [...]
The Rentals return with Songs About Time
Calling all friends of P! The recently revamped line-up of The Rentals, led by former Weezer bassist Matt Sharp, are inviting you into their studio. After reuniting for a tour celebrating their debut album, Return of the Rentals in 2007, the band has embarked on a new and rather ambitious project entitled, Songs About Time. [...]
Album Review: Morrissey – Years of Refusal
“Life is very long/when you’re lonely.” That’s the closing couplet of “The Queen is Dead”– from The Smiths’ 1986 LP. Eight albums and twenty-three lonely years later, Morrissey is still selling that same line–to arenas around the world packed to the gills with hyperventilating, sexually ambiguous young men with perfect haircuts. And whether he’s savoring [...]
