Album Review: P.O.S. – Never Better
Depression seems to be a prerequisite in the world of underground rap. For that matter, depression goes hand in hand with the genre as a whole, but rappers at labels like Rhymesayers and Def Jux seem to be more in love with their sadness than the average Joe. And so the underground’s biggest names take [...]
Apple’s new “pass”
Face it, iTunes is addictive. With those sprawling ads, killer deals, and exclusive purchases, it’s no surprise Steve Jobs reigns supreme and my credit card’s maxed out. Though they haven’t snagged The Beatles yet (in due time), they have managed to secure just about every other artist out there, which makes this next piece of [...]
The Avett Brothers shell out more tour dates, tackle “Glory Days”
It’s no secret The Avett Brothers are touring fanatics. Just one look at the old “tag archive” will tell you that. So it should come as little surprise that the North Carolina based quarter will soon be hitting the road again for what appears to be another summer full of tour dates. Following a few [...]
Rachel Ray brings music, food back to SXSW
It probably goes without saying that we highly recommend you stop by our official events during South by Southwest next month – in addition to our Listen! showcase, we’ll be hosting a couple parties as well (TBA in the coming days.) But last I checked, we don’t have anything going down on Saturday, March 21st, [...]
List ‘Em Carefully: Top 10 Songs About Break-ups (and a song of hope)
Do you remember Dan Caffrey’s list of a few weeks ago? Didn’t it make you fall in love? Even if you didn’t want to do that. Tom Wait’s “Take It With Me” makes me feel seasick-lovesick. That music box piano… If you didn’t read it, please do, Mr. Caffrey’s list will warm your heart. Mine [...]
Faith No More confirms reunion plans; still no tour dates
Earlier this week, whether intentional or unintentional – we’re guessing the latter – a publicist for Faith No More confirmed the long rumored reunion plans of the California outfit, saying they would be embarking on a European tour later this summer. Today, Mike Patton and Co. officially commented on the news and offered some reasoning [...]
Wilco plans “creative” June release
Since this is Wilco we’re talking about, we’ll cut the intro and get right into the details. After all, you could probably care less about any clever opening when details of the band’s much anticipated seventh studio album are of topic… According to a newsletter sent to fans late last night (via NME), the Chicago [...]
Bonnaroo offers taste of schedule…
While Bonnaroo isn’t ready to unveil the full schedule for its 2009 incarnation just yet – after all, we still do have a few more adds to go! – the Manchester, Tennessee based music festival, scheduled to run from June 11-14, has unveiled a little peak. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band will hold [...]
Greg Eklund and friends team up for charity?
Get this. Sources in the UK are buzzing with word of a charity project being undertaken by a small group of entertainers, all led by ex-Everclear drummer Greg Eklund. It has been rumored that Eklund, Dichen Lachman (Sierra from the new series Dollhouse), Ellie Crisell (BBC News Channel) and little known British producer Howard “Deko” [...]
