Photo by Dylan Mire I didn't know what to expect walking into Mt Swag at 2:30 in the morning. I had been there for multiple shows but those shows were different. Those shows were driven on guitar feedback, live drums and a few of the odd bunch trying to start a mosh pit in a house that was not made for more than 50 people. Still, tonight was a different kind of crazy. Mt Swag was hosting its first electronic show, the after party for local electronic act Two Fresh with DJ [...]

FRIDAY MAGIC MILK Fasten your dancing snow boots because when garage rockers Magic Milk hit the stage there's going to be a whole lot [...]
Tweetvaso link Nashville's Bad Cop have this swagger about them that reminds me of Austin's mercurial White Denim; even their singers sound similar. Bad Cop doesn't go in for White Denim's all over the map approach, however, opting for a more straight forward style, but the two bands share a similar early rock haze. We...
The first in a four part series recapping some of the best music to come out of Nashville during the first half of 2011.
Every time I think of Nashville's Bad Cop now, I think of the online comic Axe Cop, which is a fantastically hilarious strip written by a now 6 or 7 year old and illustrated by his 30 year old brother. But I digress… Bad Cop plays the type of rock you'd expect from a band...
New on what can be expected this Record Store Day at The Groove in Nashville, TN.
:: Hockey - the sport, not the band - compelled John Darnielle to choose Merge for his latest Mountain Goats record. :: One dude has taken it upon himself to remind the world that Ben Weasel was always a stinker . :: I remember talking about the questionable legality of siphoning used vegetable oil out of receptacles with Aaron Weiss back when mewithoutYou was one of the few bands that used the stuff to power their van. Well, it looks like Off! found out how questionable the [...]
New music from Nashville's Bad Cops in the form of a demo version of "Wet Lips" from the band's forthcoming ROIR 7".
New music video for "I'm in Lust With You" from Bad Cop's 2010 release, Harvest the Beast .
Nashville's Bad Cop has a new 7-inch dropping this summer, but in the meantime they have just unleashed the new video for "I'm in Lust With You", an appropriate title for a testosterone-driven slab of charging rawk. A lot has happened in the life of Nashville's Bad Cop since we last caught up with them... The band has gone through a line-up changed, played the stages at PopMontreal and CMJ, as well as holding down a regular gig at Brooklyn's Don Pedro. Bowing to the ironic resurgent popularity of the good old cassette tape and the return of the [...]
Jack White to stay single (from bands, that is) for a while, new music from PUJOL & the Mashville crew, and more bullshit about Ke$ha than you'll ever need to know in your entire life.
CLICK HERE TO VIEW VIDEO About: Last month Pharoahe Monch premiered his anti-police brutality anthem "Clap (One Day)", to a sold out crowd at the Jazz Cafe in London. "Clap (One Day)" is the new single from his upcoming album, W.A.R. (We Are Renegades), to be released through W.A.R. Media and Duck Down in February [...]
Nashville garage rock band Bad Cop released their debut CD Harvest the Beast (ROIR) earlier this week and the band is currently in the middle of a Sept. - Oct. tour. The tour stops at Don Pedros in Brooklyn on Sept. 25th and the band comes back through on Oct. 25th for The Deli Magazine CMJ Showcase at Spike Hill. Bad Cop plays balls-out rock and they blast through ten tracks of exuberant fuzzed-out, psychedelic garage punk in just shy of thirty minutes on their debut disc. The short running time of the [...]
Bad Cop's debut Album Harvest The Beast (out September 14) is a bitches brew of southern fried Garage, Psych, Blues and Post-Punk that, put simply, will sear your cranium (and that can't be a bad thing in MM's book). They hail from the home of the country music industry, Nashville, but their sound comes from deep within their twisted souls. They've been building a steady following of fans and freaks who dig their tales of self-destruction and their punk-psych assault. Their first single Daylight showcased their garage groove and simple but catchy hooks [...]

For the uninitiated, Nashville's We Own This Town is one of the premier radio shows/blogs for finding new independent music in the Music City and the southeast. They've started putting up local shows at Nashville's Mercy Lounge on Tuesday nights for free (that would be uh, nothing) and this one is sure to be a rip-roarin' rockin' time: Mean Tambourines embodies that 80's synth-dance-indie pop thing really well, but with more polish. Their new EP War drops this July. Joining the mayhem is [...]
* If you don't love them now, you will never love them again: Fleetwood Mac will play Friday June 19 at the Sommet Center. Tickets will be $45, $65, $85 and (gulp) $125, all manner of which will go on... Continue reading "Fleetwood Mac, Japandroids and More: Newsy Bits" >
For some reason I've been receiving a lot of mild porn comedy lately. Whats happening in the world these days? Every week funny or die sends me an update of funny awesome videos that make me laugh. This week they sent me this... it's from "The Midnight Show" which I checked out. It contains a lot of similar, sexual messed up sketches. I've always liked Andy Richter since his co-hosting days on Conan... this is kind fucked up but funny, enjoy! Handsome
