Breaking News: Langerado Music Festival cancelled!
This year’s edition of the Langerado Music Festival, scheduled to take place between March 6 and 8, 2009 in Miami, Florida, has been cancelled. Promoters cite “a dismal economy” and “sluggish ticket sales” as factors for the decision. Per promoter Ethan Schwartz: “Langerado has always put the fan experience first. Unfortunately, during these difficult economic [...]
The Hold Steady offers A Positive Rage
While you couldn’t tell it from last year’s release of Stay Positive and the subsequent touring that followed, The Hold Steady apparently have built up quite a bit of rage. But before you scramble to Home Depot, pick up plywood, and board your windows to prevent a attack from a “mutantfied” Craig Finn, bear in [...]
Tennessee never looked this good!
Today, I was planning on cooking some Mac n’ Cheese, buuut instead, I’ll be eating crow…and lots of it. If you can recall my editorial last week (and please, if you can, don’t), I went off on a tangent, romanticizing Indio, California as if it were the land of El Dorado. Not that it isn’t, [...]
On Second Listen: John Hiatt – Same Old Man
John Hiatt returned to record stores in mid-2008 with Same Old Man, the eighteenth solo album of his prolific, under-the-radar career. When an artist has been producing stellar work for as long as Hiatt, it’s easy for fans to begin taking that artist somewhat for granted. What’s another solid album? Throw it on the pile [...]
Lily Allen struts her stuff, leaks her album, and shares new tour dates
On the same day that Lily Allen hit number one, beat out Lady Ga Ga, and her booty hit the web, the British native unveiled her forthcoming sophomore studio album, It’s Not Me, It’s You, one week early via her MySpace page. Yes, now the only thing you have to feel guilty about when it [...]
Check Out: The Hold Steady’s “Atlantic City” (Bruce Springsteen Cover)
Well, it’s February. We’re in the heart of winter now, and with the Super Bowl over, things are starting to look pretty grey. So what can we look forward to this month, besides the Oscars and some festival announcements? For starters, both compilations, Heroes and Dark Was The Night hit shelves this month. Both have [...]
Throbbing Gristle plans U.S. tour
As we learned from last week’s Coachella announcement, Throbbing Gristle are still alive and kicking. In fact, between the recently released The Thirty-Second Annual Report of Throbbing Gristle and what appears to be a forthcoming North American tour, the legendary British group appears to be busy fellows these days. What’s that? Yes, we said a [...]
Bonnaroo unearths 2009 lineup…and it’s really good!
10:25 p.m. Update: We can officially confirm that what you see below is indeed the lineup for Bonnaroo 2009… For all that was last week’s Coachella lineup extravaganza, the lineup announcement for this year’s edition of the Bonnaroo Music Festival came without a hitch – almost anti-climatic of sorts. But that’s not to say the [...]
A-Trak tackles Infinity, we give away a vinyl!
Ok, so maybe he isn’t the next generation Richard Simmons, but DJ A-Trak sure has done a good job getting some of us in shape in recent months. Well, that is if you’ve actually taken advantage of his Nike-approved sounds. Showing no signs of slowing down, the Montreal based DJ has announced plans for yet [...]
