Album Review: Junior Boys – Begone Dull Care
Canadian electronic duo Junior Boys‘ third LP might be the year’s first serious foray into electronic pop, which is interesting when you consider that many of last year’s best albums – by artists like Hot Chip, Cut Copy, and Friendly Fire - were firmly planted in the genre. Still, the dance floor’s been conspicuously quiet when it [...]
Camera Obscura returns with a new album and tour
Let’s see, three years without a new album and currently sporting a brand new record contract with 4AD? Sounds to me like the perfect recipe for some new material and a tour to boot. It also looks as if Camera Obscura feel the same way – not only will Glasgow rockers will be releasing their [...]
Bonnaroo adds Public Enemy, Jimmy Fallon, and a puppet! Get excited!
Update: Add The Dillinger Escape Plan to the list as well… The title says it all on this one folks. Bonnaroo has added to its 2009 lineup and to say its an eclectic mix would well, probably be one of the biggest understatements in the history of mankind. On the music front, Public Enemy, Ani [...]
Tortoise returns with Beacons of Ancestorship
Since the release of its latest studio album, It’s All Around You, in 2004, Tortoise has been splitting its time between box sets (2006′s A Lazarus Taxon), hanging with Will Oldham (2006′s The Brave and the Bold), and various side-projects (Exploding Star Orchestra, Bumps, Fflashlights, and Powerhouse Sound). By the looks of the recently issued [...]

Album Review: Gil Mantera’s Party Dream – Dreamscape
The term “80s retro” gets thrown around a lot these days. It’s easy to marginalize acts such as M83, Ladyhawke, Neon Neon, and many others as part of a trend, nothing more. Even though these acts are consciously hearkening back to bygone days, the “retro” marginalization doesn’t fit. I say that they are part of [...]
The Offspring thinks this S*** Is F***ed Up
It’s hard to believe that Huntington Beach’s flyest white guys have been a band for almost 25 years now. But, come May 15th, The Offspring will in fact prove this when it kicks off the two month, 37-date “The Shit Is Fucked Up” tour in Nashville, Tennessee. “President” Dexter Holland (vocals, guitar) announced the tour [...]
Tool preps summer tour!
Chalk up another high-profile tour coming soon to a venue near you. According to Blair McKenzie Blake, who maintains Tool’s official website, Maynard James Keenan and company will hit the road this summer for a North American tour. Although I can’t announce any specific dates yet (as the bulk of the dates haven’t been confirmed), [...]
The Battle of the Lolla Leaks!
With the lineup announcement for Perry Farrell’s three-day fun weekend celebrating the return of Jane’s Addiction, aka relive the 90s weekend, aka Lollapalooza set to descend on us any moment now, it makes sense that the leaks and rumors are rolling in by the boatload. Speaking of which, let’s play a game, shall we? Below [...]
Ben Folds goes to college, returns with new album
Back in October, Ben Folds headed back to college with the hope of finding a few a capella groups to help him create an album consisting entirely a cappella versions of his music. Some six months later, the North Carolina native’s search is over and on April 28th, he will release the finished product. Aptly [...]
