Artist: Best Of ...

Exclusive: A Chat With The Doors And A Stroll to Barney's Beanery on Jim Morrison's 65th Birthday Originally Published Dec 10, 2008 @ 10:38 December 8, 2008 would have been Jim Morrison’s 65th birthday, had he lived. To celebrate, KLOS threw a massive party at Barney’s Beanery, one of Jim’s favorite bars in West Hollywood. Prior to this party I found myself sitting at the dining table of the Doors’ suite in the Pali House hotel down the block. Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek - aka THE DOORS - were sitting on [...]

The more I listen to it, the more I like it, and there are some real gems here that brilliantly capture the essence of the film and its era in a modern way. Be sure not to miss these standout tracks from the film: 1. Jack White "Love Is Blindness" [...]

April 2013 proved to be a legendary month of new music: Daft Punk unveiled "Get Lucky (feat. Pharell), Phoenix  dropped Bankrupt! , and Empire Of The Sun  exploded back in the game with "Alive." Get acquainted with some of the April's finest records and let us know in the comments section if there's anything that we may missed.

You know the drill. Here’s what I thought rocked in April of this new year we call 2013 (featuring songs by Still Life Still, YesYou, STRFKR, CHVRCHES and many more). This time, I only made the playlist on  Rdio  and  Soundcloud (below).  I might be done with Grooveshark, as I'm not really sure what they contribute to this site.

Take a fucking bow son, Jack Swift is a beast of selector who will take you back in time with this one. This is by far one of the best chronicled mixes I have ever heard. Classics that range from Tuff Jam , R.I.P Productions , Kerri Chandler and so much more. This is perfect for your pre-game endeavors and to get the party started righteously.

Best Of Treefort Music Fest 2013 WORDS and PHOTOS by BEN LINDBLOOM So many memories; two lost camera lenses due to drinking with Ryan and Whitney of The Grizzled Mighty for 3 days, ending each night at China Blue, conducting an interview with Kithkin over pumpkin waffles at my mom's house, being berated by Wax Idols for not having our (Travis and my) shit together, a last minute interview with Widowspeak after their show, [...]

Remember earlier in the year I said there was a long term project underway involving some classic tunes? No? Well - ta-dah! This is it, a list of SBWR’s 100 Greatest Shoegaze Albums. I was going to do the whole, countdown thing, gradually posting tracks… but that would be boring. In fact, halfway through I thought, wow, this is pointless... but in Forest Gump fashion, I’d run far enough not to turn back. The point is, its not about deciding what's best, its about discovering something new (or old, in this case). Throughout the process of compiling the list, many [...]

I never got around to mentioning, but for anyone who looks at my mixes over at 8tracks , I finally got around to a "Best Of 20123 mix and put it up there, instead of the Opentape thing I had been doing for the last few years that I doubt anyone ever used. Here's the tracklist for 2012 : 01. Moses Gold - Powder and Blood 02. Grimes - Oblivion 03. Serengeti feat. Yoni Wolf - Geti Life 04. Sean Born - Pour Out Liquor 05. Divine Fits [...]

In the words of Willie Nelson " Ain't it funny how time slips away ", has this blog really stumbled, crawled and rambled it's way through 8 years of music? The Virgin Megastore from the first post is long gone (along with 10002s of other record shops) but there's still a tide of incredible music so Music Like Dirt will no doubt keep on keeping on in a vaguely unprofessional way. Enough self congratulation and on with what counts, the music and a few gems from last month starting with something French and exquisitely beautiful, courtesy [...]

Damn, is it spring already?   February  seemed to fly by - almost like it was shorter than all the other months... Alright, all bad jokes aside, the end of February is also the unofficial end of winter, meaning it's time to take a look at all the fantastic album art that's come out in the last three months. Here are 10 that caught my eye: Thao & the Get Down Stay Down - [...]

Is it really time for the first volume of the Best Downloadables of 2013 ? It is. You can stream (and scrobble ) all the songs in this mix using the ex.fm player at the bottom of the page OR you can download any or all of the tracks at your leisure (with the usual right-click or control-click) and play them using a digital media player of your choice. Listen. Downloadables: Attention (mp3) by Younolovebunny [...]

MOST people who carve out a career in music don't ever justify a Greatest Hits compilation being released - even fewer deserve a second Best Of being put together. You can count them on one hand, for the most part - Prince, The Beatles, Queen, err, Meat Loaf? But the late Fela Kuti's Best Of The Black President II, despite the African artist largely only being known in mainstream consciousness as the man behind Zombie, proves he was up there with the best of the best. This collection, over two discs, demonstrates that Kuti was as political [...]

The greatest cinematic instrumentals ever. The post Treble's 40 favorite Film Scores appeared first on Treble: Music news, reviews, interviews and more .

by Steve Messick 2012 is over, we are less than a hundred years away from the future that the Rush album foretold, (now that the Mayans' prophesy has been deep-sixed).  So, let's take this opportunity to take a thankful look back at the year that was-uz-uz-uz. 1. Mitt losing. Thank fucking God! The only scary (but funny ironic thing) was that 47% of the voting population thought this ... this ... "Mitt" was capable of being anything more than an assistant manager of Staples, [...]
