Flaming Lips get Embryonic with new double album
The Flaming Lips don’t seem to take many breaks. Even though they haven’t released a proper album since 2006′s At War With the Mystics, the boys have managed to tour like crazy, finally release a decade-in-the-works film, start a fight with the Arcade Fire, get a street named after them, and have one of their [...]
Watch: The Killers bring a fairytale to Dave
What is hard to believe is that The Killers are not only still on the road in support of last year’s Day & Age, but recently added another round of U.S. dates for later this summer. Will someone have mercy? What isn’t hard to believe is that The Killers still have no problem making us [...]
NME thinks The Police are reuniting…
Oh, NME! We almost love you enough to take you seriously. When they’re not bullshitting their average readers, they’re…bullshitting their average readers. One golden headline appeared yesterday reading, “The Police set for more reunion shows?” Of course, any self respecting fan of The Police would salivate at such a headline — if it were on, [...]
The mystery of Yeasayer’s upcoming album
After three months of working on new music and recording, Yeasayer seems to be gearing for a projected fall release of its second album. But of course, since news is scant regarding this sophomore release (including from its own label) – with only breadcrumbs of information trailed throughout the web – we can only speculate [...]
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones ready new full-length?
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones have seemingly done it all since reuniting some 16 months ago – queue flashbacks of two Hometown Throwdowns, an extensive North American trek with Dropkick Murphys and the release of the B-sides comp., Medium Rare. Well, that is everything except the release of a brand new LP. Wait . . . [...]
Album Review: Neil Young – Fork in the Road
As enjoyable as it may be, sitting in a drum circle and listening to Michael Franti isn’t actually going to save that planet. Ordinary people who want to make a difference have to do annoying stuff like using organic toilet paper and turning off the water while brushing their teeth. Or, if you are Neil Young, you can retool your 1959 Lincoln Continental into a fuel-efficient car and then sing songs about it.
The west coast gets another taste of Underworld
This time last year, we were getting all giddy about the prospects of Underworld opening for Radiohead. While that didn’t end up happening, the English outfit did make its way to the U.S. last summer for a few performances, something, which as it now turns out, will be repeated again this year when Underworld returns [...]
stellastarr* issues U.S. tour dates
With the release of its new album, Civilized, on the horizon (July 7th), stellastarr* finally has an excuse to hit the road again; the New York City based group hasn’t embarked on a full tour in nearly three years. But come July 8th, the band will kick off what a two month travel schedule in [...]
Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 5/11)
We’re in the stretch of May where everyone is dying for a break. Students want to be done with finals and out of class, whereas adults need Memorial Day’s sweet three-day respite. All we want is a break! Alas, it’s not quite here for most of us. However, to ease the pain, the music deities [...]
Brian Williams is now a music blogger
Yes, Brian Williams, the same Brian Williams who reads news for NBC on a nightly basis, is now a music blogger. How could this be? Let’s review what we learned in “Intro to Communication” way back when. The days of Walter Cronkite and must see nightly news are over. With the advent of CNN and [...]
