Album Review: Röyksopp – Junior
Many have waited long for Junior — this writer included. Röyksopp, the Norwegian duo famous for creating the hooky electronica that became the darling soundtrack choice for every TV advertisement, director and soccer clip-show artisan throughout the last eight years, have decided to kill their darlings so to speak. Their third effort, Junior, is a [...]
Watch: Metallica – “Broken, Beat and Scarred”
So far, Metallica‘s brutal return to form Death Magnetic has yielded an epic performance video for “The Day That Never Comes” and some bizarre B-horror movie footage for “All Nightmare Long”.

Album Review: Bishop Allen – Grrr…
Remember when you used to play pirates in grade school on the jungle gym? Your homemade eye patch drew “gyarrrr”s from all the other pirate wannabes, your best friend was your first mate, and you made that girl you tried to kiss walk the plank? She never forgave you, did she? For a bilge rat [...]
Spinnerette finally ready to release Spinnerette
Perhaps its only ironic Spinerette is about as good as releasing an album on time as Rancid – if you don’t get the reference, take a look at the past relationship of the two respective bands’ frontpersons.
