Releasing something unprecidented in the hip hop game, a forty five minute mix themed towards…runners…, releasing one of the genre’s most anticipated releases the year, None Shall Pass, [...]

Sitting alone on the stage of The Tonight Show, PJ Harvey recently performed “Grow Grow Grow” to a national audience. The sound stage echoed as her haunting voice eclipsed the autoharp she played. The purple mood lighting in the background was possibly as important as the eerie foot-pedal synthesizer that Harvey used during [...]

After literally dozens of times through Michael Showalter’s hot new single “Erotica” it began to dawn on me that the song’s theme, details and setting could pretty much pass for a Wes Anderson movie. Then reality smacked me boldly in the face and shouted “it is a Wes Anderson movie, retard!” And as [...]

For all of its negative criticism, even through Finding Forever’s first three singles I felt that there was something strong buried deep in its essence. But even with the help of Alicia Keys, Kerry Washington, Kanye West, Serena Williams, Derek Luke and Sophia Luke they couldn’t make a rose out of this brutally dull [...]

For those who are fans of NBC’s 30 Rock, especially those who don’t have cable, you can catch the show streaming online on their official site. And for those who have been keeping up with the show, I’m sure you remember the quick mention of Tracy Morgan’s character’s (aptly named Tracy Jordan) “Werewolf Bar [...]

With a sound seeded far deeper in mid-90s electronica than anything else in the band’s catalogue, “Flux” reintroduces Bloc Party as something far fresher than its typical indie rock typecast. The video’s theme is trapped somewhere between first or second season Power Rangers and “Intergalactic;” it supports the single that is set for release [...]

Nestled warmly in the pocket of his new release, When The Needle Hits The Wax, Stook’s “Seasonal Affective Disorder” quietly surprises as the finest piece of autobiographical poetry on the album. The precursor to the booming drunken jamboree “How Long We Gonna Dance?” and following his best Springsteen song on the album, “Diggin’ on [...]

“Ex-Guru” is an awesome song and the video for “Ex-Guru” is an awesome video, doubt I can really put much of a critique on something so unique. The vintage transition shots are killer, reminding me of something ABBA would have put out in their prime. That being said, ABBA never sounded this good [...]

Aside from me drunkenly ruining Fu Manchu’s show for many other fans in attendance earlier this year I’ve had nothing but positive feelings surrounding Fu Manchu’s latest, We Must Obey. The album is fairly strong, especially in comparison to the band’s last outing Start The Machine. However the video for “Hung Out To [...]

While fairly oblivious to most sports these days, I’m far from it in terms of Boston’s own Dropkick Murphys. Following the Red Sox’s series defining game 6 against the Cleveland Indians this past week I received a brilliant email reading the following, “The Red Sox win over Cleveland tonight means the series goes to [...]

Just as I put off recalling the three hours in which I basked in Henry Rollins’ stories in form of a review for well over a week, it took me roughly ten years to finally nut up and risk seeing my idol in person. However easy it is for me to become wrapped up [...]

The few times I’ve had the chance to spin Challengers I’ve been left with a strange feeling of being underwhelmed. A while back I had this idea that “The New Pornographers are becoming indie rock’s version of adult contemporary” and I can’t say that my view has been swayed since. I don’t expect [...]

After seeing Justice live last week I can now testify that they can do no wrong, and with this recently remixed Klaxons track I stand by my story. The duo livens the original track up, whipping it into a discotheque friendly model of danceable splendor. The waving outro is absolutely brilliant, as is [...]
