Universal Music Group and YouTube hold hands, make something new yet old
Rejoice! Universal Music Group’s video library and music content can be viewed online again. After a fight with YouTube over ad revenue (UMG felt like they were getting gypped, of course), UMG has apparently made nice with Google’s pride and joy – Warner Music had also banned YouTube from showing their content for the same [...]
Chinese Democracy comes to Rock Band!
It’s funny how Guns N’ Roses works in the new millennium. Unlike the radiant energy they possessed in the late eighties and early nineties, Axl Rose and his league of extraordinary bastards hardly do anything these days, or anything right that is. How about a quick round up, shall we? Let’s skip the fourteen years [...]
Outside Lands ’09 rounds up Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews, Beastie Boys, and a slew of others
*Updated w/ line up* After rounding up Radiohead, Beck, Tom Petty, and he whose name shall not be spoken for its inaugural edition last year, San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music Festival will return for a second go around, once again providing all those festival junkies a pretty stellar way of capping off their summer. Pearl [...]
Open Thread: Outside Lands
On Monday, San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music Festival will drop its 2009 lineup. Until then, the festival’s Ranger Dave, aka Twitter, be teasing us with “hints” pertaining to this year’s lineup. So, we figured now would be an appropriate to time open things up, take a stab at these hints (see our thoughts in red), [...]
Dusting ‘Em Off: The Replacements – Pleased to Meet Me
The Replacements are gold; it’s just too bad they don’t have the records hanging on their walls to prove it. Along with The Pixies and Hüsker Dü, they were one of the great underground bands of the eighties, yet never found that elusive mainstream success. They were the proverbial imitated, but never duplicated band that [...]
Conor Oberst preps free rockdoc
With about three weeks to go on the drop date for Outer South – the new album from Conor Oberst and backup-turned-headlining group Mystic Valley Band – a documentary chronicling the musicians’ past year and change will be available online beginning April 15th. One of My Kind, shot by Mystic Valley guitar tech Phil Schaffart, [...]
Corgan blogs, digs deeper hole…
This past Thursday, Smashing Pumpkins fans were treated to another bloated, overstated helping of Billy Corgan’s blogging. Then again, with the loss of long-time collaborator and only original member Jimmy Chamberlin, whose drumming made Zeitgeist moderately enjoyable, the bald boy wonder has a lot on his mind. One quick read-through might suggest he has a [...]
mp3 Remix: Friday Mixtape LI
Seeing as that it’s a holiday week, it only makes sense that this week’s Friday Mixtape is pretty damn impressive, or at least the perfect soundtrack for painting Easter eggs or chowing down on Matzah balls, So, enjoy this week’s mix of the best new singles, covers, and remixes, along with a few mp3s from [...]
Moonalice tweeting a concert
In the latest example of the never ending, yet unbelievably awesome absurdity that is Twitter, it now appears that the internet sensation will soon be hosting its very own concert. And no, we don’t mean Twitter will be hanging a banner at some random music venue; on April 11th, San Francisco’s Moonalice will actually perform [...]

Update: On second thought, rumors are just rumors, not confirmations, so we’ve added the five names to the Coachella Outlook page… California has a lot of music festivals. Three of these festivals have a lot of news to discuss. So, let’s round up all the important info in today’s edition of CoS’ Festivals in Brief: [...]
