Black History Month Spotlight: Something about the Blues
Feel so bad, feel so sad, feel so glad? Blues music has always had a mysterious therapeutic quality about it. How can sad expression-being down in the dumps-bring such comfort, and even joy at times, to listeners? What is it about those chord progressions, those blue notes, and those call-and-response patterns of field songs and [...]
Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 2/23)
We’re up to our ears in reruns this week, folks. I guess all the talk shows blew their aural wads on last week’s impressive lineup. (And now that Conan’s signed off, we’ve got reruns to fill in until he takes the throne from Leno.) Never fear though, there are a few reasons to stay up [...]
Rancid, Rise Against unveil U.S. dates
Punk rock at Red Rocks? May sound like an odd combination, especially when the words Warped Tour aren’t attached, but come June 11th, that’s exactly what will happen when Rancid and Rise Against perform at the legendary amphitheatre. In fact, that’s what will be going down pretty much everywhere for the better part of the [...]
Listen! showcase just 25 days away + new poster!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are just 25 days away from Listen!. On Friday, March 20th, Consequence of Sound will take over The Wave in Austin for our first official South by Southwest Showcase with a lineup designed to highlight six of music’s most talented up-and-comers in one night, under one roof. Canadian based hip-hopper [...]
Check Out: Depeche Mode – “Wrong”
Seeing as that Depeche Mode will be pretty much everywhere in the coming months, it might be a good idea to start familiarizing yourself with the sounds and styles of the electro legends’ forthcoming studio album, Sounds of the Universe. Of course, as you probably are so thoughtfully pointing out, how does one do that [...]
YouTube Live: Wolf Eyes confuse Flint, MI in ’05
Indie/hipster/whatever you want to call it counterculture has gone to prove that irony is far from dead. Throngs of music fans have supported countless fashions, artists, and ideals all in the name of smugness and/or elitist comedy. Just look at how many bands nowadays have the word “fuck” in their name. Without irony, we wouldn’t [...]
White Rabbits get scary
After dedicating most of the last 12 months to a slew of festival appearances and tour dates supporting the likes of Spoon, Tokyo Police Club, and The Cribs among others, Brooklyn’s White Rabbits recently turned their attention to the studio to begin work on the long-awaited followup to 2007′s stellar Fort Nightly. Come May 19th, [...]
Jimmy Fallon uses stellar music tastes, taps Van Morrison as first guest
Ok, it’s official. You may think Jimmy Fallon is annoying, unfunny, even undeserving of his upcoming role as host of Late Night, but you got to give the man props. He has some damn good taste in music. In fact, so much so, that’s he starting to give Conan O’Brien a run for his money [...]
Pavement…kind of reunited
Seriously, if anyone wants to get Led Zeppelin back together, just invite them to a wedding. After all, two, count ‘em, of music’s biggest acts have reunited at such an event…and in the last six month at that! Two, you say? Surely, Phish is one, but who is number two? Wait for it…. Pavement! Well, [...]
Album Review: U2 – No Line on the Horizon
He might oddly resemble a more intrepid Robin Williams lately, but Bono still remains an international symbol for…well…it’s hard to describe. Let’s just say he’s of the optimistic sort, and there’s nothing really wrong with that. He’s a musician at heart who happens to be a humanitarian, too. Some recommend he stay behind the mic, [...]
