My Morning Jacket in recess?
Expecting to see My Morning Jacket sometime soon? Don’t count on it. After spending the last year releasing Evil Urges and then touring the globe in support of it, the Louisville rockers have reportedly decided to take a break. Drummer Patrick Hallahan shared the obvious with Spinner.com backstage at Bonnaroo earlier this month: “Right now, [...]
Beastie Boys’ Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 ready to save the music industry!
Note the part about Part 1…
No Hole reunion? Love’s just a “nutbag”? Say it ain’t so!
In an unsurprising twist of fate, it seems that the idea of a Hole reunion is just wishful thinking — on account of Courtney Love‘s. In response to Love’s recent video from the studio, where she announced her new solo album would be under the Hole moniker, bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur seems to think [...]
New KISS album will rock!
Always one for the theatrics (well, duh), Paul Stanley continues to juice in excitement over the upcoming record by the one and only, KISS.

Album Review: God Help the Girl – God Help the Girl
God Help the Girl is only the first part of a two-part project. Belle & Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch sees it as the soundtrack to a film he intends to make next year, the songs forming “the backbone of a musical narrative.” Whether or not this comes to fruition does not affect the material on the album, which can easily stand on its own without the aid of visuals.
Kid Rock preps Jesus followup…
Two years after he “came back” with Rock N’ Roll Jesus, featuring our favorite butchering of Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London” in the radio-wonder “All Summer Long”, Kid Rock wants to keep his success going. He’s just going about it carefully. Real carefully. “It’s hard to follow big records with another big record,” Rock tells [...]
Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 6/22)
In my humble opinion, 2009 has been a downright delightful year for music. I could already make a great top 10 of the year list, and we’ve still got six months to go. That, to me, is a rousing success. I’m also used to my favorite acts of the year getting the shaft from TV programs. [...]
TVotR’s Kyp Malone beomes the latest musician to go solo
So, I guess the big trend now is to abadon your high-profile indie act in favor of a solo album? Following in the wake of similar announcements by Interpol’s Paul Banks, Battles’ Tyondai Braxton, and The Raconteurs’ Brendan Benson and Jack White (maybe?), TV on the Radio‘s Kyp Malone has revealed plans for his own [...]
