Album Review: Tori Amos – Abnormally Attracted to Sin
Two decades and ten albums into her career, Tori Amos has her fair share of detractors. You can hate her odd pronunciation, blunt sexuality, enigmatic lyrics, and willingness to cover (some say “butcher”) classic tunes. And if none of that bothers you, maybe her rabid fan base does. Any teenager in the 1990s was either [...]
Turns out there will actually be a Daft Punk release in 2009…
The blogosphere really likes Daft Punk. So much so, when the legendary electro duo decided to take some time off, the blogosphere got really antsy, doing stuff like completely overblowing news that doesn’t deserve to be overblown yet (Daft Punk is going on tour in 2010!) Fortunately, a few of our fellow contemporaries, including two [...]
Album Review: Heaven & Hell – The Devil You Know
Remember that scene in the movie Wayne’s World towards the end when Wayne drives the Mirthmobile to get Cassandra back and that heavy tune blares during the montage of that scene?

Two nights, two songs, one giant eh of a response.
Dyslexic trance jam band Disco Biscuits deef up tour bates for “Road to Camp Bisco”
Never a group to do things straightforwardly (see: their numerous lineup changes, plentiful side projects and pair of rock operas), the Disco Biscuits recently bulked up their summer 2009 tour with a number of East Coast shows, festival appearances and crowd-favorite supporting acts — all of it culminating in the eighth annual Camp Bisco in [...]
Of Montreal debuts most awesomely titled song ever
Remember back in December how we noted how Of Montreal mastermind Kevin Barnes doesn’t like to take breaks and had already begun work about the followup to last year’s Skeletal Lamping? Yeah, the man wasn’t lying. Hot on the the heels of the debut of “Coquet, Coquet”, Of Montreal has offered up another new selection, [...]
Judee Sill gets tributized
Judee Sill was a singer/songwriter from Oakland, California. She was the artist signed to David Geffen’s Asylum label, and during the 1970s, released two highly acclaimed studio albums on it. This music eventually caught the attention of such acts as Fleet Foxes, Warren Zevon, and Graham Nash, all of whom have recorded or performed her [...]
Springsteen gives D.C. a night to remember (5/18)
Bruce & the E Street Band’s stop Monday night at the Verizon Center came with some trepidation. Not because of any doubt that Bruce and his legendary bandmates would deliver, but because Washington, D.C. shows come with challenges that are unique to the city and the venue.
