It might be obvious, but Collective Soul used to release really good music. For the most part though, this came to an end around March of 1995…after that, the band’s releases became scattered (at best). I can still remember listening to the local rock radio station’s yearly wrap up in 1997 and hearing [...]

One of last year’s finest delivers another fine piece of boot, this time mashing Beyonce, Shakira and Arctic Monkeys. From his own words, “when I first heard their new single a couple of hours ago, this mashup seemed so obvious that I wonder if someone else has made their own version while I’ve been [...]

Favourite Worst Nightmare made its debut last week and still my friend Steve is going crazy, with seemingless nonstop posts covering everything related to Arctic Monkeys. However crazy he may be, he scrounged up a video of the band performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week that fairly effectively showcases its new single “Brianstorm.” [...]

Last week’s episode of The Henry Rollins Show included an interview with Ben Stiller and an amazing performance by Ryan Adams & The Cardinals. For all his faults, the man knows how to play and how to blend in a timeless sense to his work, no more evident than in the songs he and [...]

On the heels of the recent internet phenomena that was The Landlord comes this set of clips staged at USC where strength coach Chuck Berry (Farrell) examines and prepares Ryan Kalil for the NFL draft. Speaking of football, personally, since the sport’s finest icon called it a career in May of 2006 I have [...]

The latest Majestic Twelve video introduces spacemen, aliens and robots in conjunction with a new edit of the fantastic song “Break It and Breathe.” The track is hidden on last year’s Schizophrenology, but it holds one of my favorite lines from the entire album, “We rock our local bar, we’re far from famous man [...]

Power of suggestion is a horrible thing. When posting a show of Amy Winehouse’s not too long ago there were a number of comments, both good and bad, that attempted to twist how one is to look at her. One of my favorites is “its way too early in the morning to be [...]

I once knew a girl, not too long ago, who worked with me early in the morning stocking freight for a department store. She would get there about an hour and a half before I would and I typically showed up dog tired around 6:30 in the morning (give or take a few minutes…usually [...]

Now don’t get me wrong, I love Regina Spektor. She is brilliant and stunning all the same, and VBS’s recent episode of Practice Space introduces us (well, me…maybe you already knew) to her playful side; also showing her love for the grand piano. That being said, when checking out VBS, the channel has [...]

So…would you? Cause it is, kind of. Last May I asked “whether or not stoner rock can flow seamlessly into a melodic pop-guitar crunch;” the answer which was obvious at the time was yes, indeed, and the perpetrators of this unusual output are none other than Delaware’s two-piece The Sky Drops. The [...]

As an outsider looking in on the local Twin Cities music scene one may be left with a simplistic look as to what it is that The Cities and their modern artists have to offer. But aside from conversations surrounding Hüsker Dü, The Replacements or even Tapes ‘n Tapes what does the rest of the [...]

Alright, I know what you’re thinking…enough with the CSI: Miami references, already, am I right? But for serious, Dave Hill’s upcoming series for the Mojo Network entitled The King of Miami is going to change some lives and I just wanted to give a few kind hearted souls the heads up. The premise: [...]

It’s a simple yet unique experience to watch LCD Soundsystem performing live. While expecting James Murphy to take a commanding presence over the audience “North American Scum” offers itself as a complete group experience where each member of the band seems to contribute equally, no matter how distant the end result sounds compared to [...]

Peter Beste, one of the brightest photographers in all of music, served as producer for this Vice production surrounding Norwegian black metal and in particular Gaahl of the band Gorgoroth. It is as beautifully shot a piece as it is frightening. Gaahl has served imprisonment on numerous occasions for assault and in this [...]

If I had a nickel for every time College Humor helped make me laugh while I was in college, well…let’s just say I’d have a sack full of nickels, literally. Since then a while has passed and I suppose too so has my interest in the site. That being said there’s a set [...]
