Though a little disappointed with the speed of which the recording industry has targeted the spread of Year Zero material it’s still going to be interesting to see where and how this release ends. The album art has now been released which accompanies a short trailer for the CD, one which shows a little [...]

Having only ever heard a scattered history of the band’s music I had in my mind, for one reason or another, the idea that group’s performance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien would be far more dramatic or loud. It’s times like these that make me question my sanity…though I could just have confused [...]

Sometimes I don’t know whether I’m going mad or if Nas’s music has lost what many people claim it to still have. Lyrically “Can’t Forget About You” is simply not as solid as what he would like us to believe and whether or not this bodes a negative future for commercial hip hop isn’t [...]

A concept of which the United States is a twisted version of its former self, where the government has turned into a mutated mess, with a religious right strong arming the nation with force and underhanded tactics. This has been uncovered through information found on a flash drive which following an arena concert…

I have been following the ordeal with Joe Rogan and Carlos “Don’t Call Me Ned” Mencia recently and am finding it very difficult to side with Mencia (Holness) given the facts: 1. Rogan has laid out actual evidence that his jokes are not original, 2. Mencia has no clear retort to the damning evidence other [...]

I find it hard to believe that amongst the millions of people buying Norah Jones’ music in the last few years that there are so few who scour the internet looking for non-album takes, bootlegs and all that other stuff. This will probably result in an embarrassingly low response, but I want to know [...]

NPR broadcasted one of The Arcade Fire’s five shows from Judson Memorial Church in New York this weekend, and bless their hearts for it. The band was stunning (duh), the pictures further prove a brilliant live show (duh), and the new music leads me to believe that Neon Bible will be magnificent. Correct, [...]

A friend recently noted, in response to Rage Against the Machine’s reunion show at Coachella, something along the lines of “as long as it means no more Audioslave, I’m all for it.” Well, dreams can come true. Last week Chris Cornell announced the release date for his upcoming solo record, and mentioned a [...]

The Apples in Stereo were but a drop of water in the indie rock ocean for me until lead singer Robert Schneider delivered the introduction for The Colbert Report’s infamous Shred Off, but now the band are good as gold (as far as dated remarks go, that one ranks fairly high…perhaps we should start [...]

This past week has served further evidence that Lily Allen may be to mainstream pop in 2007 what she was to indie-pop in 2006. With her umpteenth performance on American television she got off with “Smile” on Conan O’Brien this past week in typically stunning fashion. That being said, a few more weeks [...]

“Take a sensual musical trip to Spain…Invite some friends over, press play, serve up sangria and laugh, sing and dance into the early hours.” Whether or not a fruity-wine fueled party was the precursor or result of Spanish music, it’s clear that after listening to the lively, full-bodied sounds on the disc that the [...]

Much of the reason groups along the lines of Thin Lizzy have any relevance to me today is because of Fu Manchu. Coursing through the past twenty years with a number of lineup changes, the current members of the sun-streaked metal outfit have never ceased bleeding stoner rock and We Must Obey follows the [...]

One of rap’s best known self promoters, Mike Jones, (who?), Mike Jones is back with his latest single for his upcoming album The American Dream. To be entirely honest I feel slightly reluctant in posting as I still don’t recall ever hearing any part of the man’s claim to fame, the album Who Is [...]

Lamb of God’s recent performance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien further solidifies the growing evidence that late night television is better catering to their audience. With the recent performance of Mastodon still in mind viewers might just be thinking that there’s something going on in metal these days, and they might be right. [...]

Continually looking to its musical patriarch for advice and acceptance through the better part of the 90’s North America continually scoured incoming news from England as to what was to be considered musically abrasive, shiny, dormant or even the next big thing. For instance, Canada’s music video mainstay, Much Music, had a love affair [...]
