mp3 Remix: Friday Mixtape LIII
It’s Friday and it’s spring…you know what that means: time for a spring-approved Friday Mixtape! Ok, so maybe there isn’t anything really springy about the collection of singles, remixes, covers, along with the mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out, but it sure as hell is worth the listen, and should [...]
Bowerbirds take things to the next level
How does one followup an album focused nearly 100% on “the thesis that the earth is a sacred place with merit beyond us, and that humans are just visitors here”? Well, for the Bowerbirds, the answer was to get personal – in other words, the complete opposite of their 2007 debut LP, Hymns for a [...]
Bob Dylan takes us out to the ballgame
Bob Dylan is as much a staple of America as baseball. So it only makes sense that once again, the legendary singer/songwriter will be spending much of his summer playing at baseball parks across the country. Beginning early July, Dylan, along with special guests John Mellencamp and Willie Nelson, will kick off what is currently [...]
Album Review: Eulogies – Here Anonymous
Naming your band Eulogies could either lead to acclaim or become a punch line (i.e. “this band is D.O.A.”), and the jury may still out on which it is. The Eulogies have a solid record in Here Anonymous, but putting out a decent indie album is ubiquitous in 2009. Everyone with a Mac and Garage [...]
Iron Maiden prepares new studio album; awesomeness ensues
With Metallica officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, legendary Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley releasing his first solo album in twenty years and all around a collectively great year for heavy metal thus far, 2009 hasn’t seen anything yet. According to reports from both Blabbermouth & Bang Media International, the nothing-short-of-awesome English [...]
Major Lazer warns of lazer dangers
You may not have heard of Major Lazer, but surely you have heard of its members. Formed last fall, Major Lazer is in fact a side-project of DJs Diplo and Switch. Sounds like your basic DJ collaboration, right? Not so fast. That’s if you take much stock in the duo’s description on the project: Major [...]
SXSW say what?

The Black Lips, King Khan & BBQ Show, No Age, and Matt & Kim make up the first batch of recently announced names scheduled [...]
Watch: Green Day’s “Enemy”
Last week, Green Day pulled the curtain down from the rafters and unveiled its first single since 2005′s “Wake Me Up When September Ends”, and while fan’s reactions have been mixed, no one can deny this Oakland trio’s hype machine is still scorching hot. That’s why it’s fitting there’s fire in the new video — [...]
Rejoice! The Killers plan more covers, live album!
Just in case you haven’t gotten enough of The Killers yet, though given Day & eh Age, the multiple festival appearances and never-ending tour (see below), fun with Coldplay and Bono, and threats to disband, I’m not entirely sure how that’s possible, Brandon Flowers and Co. have you covered. In an interview with Billboard.com, drummer [...]
Album Review: Camera Obscura – My Maudlin Career
The title song of Camera Obscura‘s fourth record, My Maudlin Career, catches the ever so fair lead singer Tracyanne Campbell singing: “This maudlin career has come to an end/I don’t want to be sad again.” Those words might sadden the already depressed followers of the somber Glasgow band, the same group that has given the [...]
