It's hard to believe that 22 years ago, KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas in Los Angeles started out with a handful of bands who actually played acoustic sets. Fast forward to 2011 and any band would love a coveted spot in the lineup at the Gibson Amphitheatre. The weekend sells out in a matter of seconds and two worthy charity organizations benefit. This year, night one benefited Para Los Niños, a non-profit family service agency designed to raise at-risk children out of poverty and into brighter futures through positive educational opportunities and support. While night two benefited the Al [...]

Yeah we're a little behind. Anyway, in light of this trailer I saw last night, which brought me way way back...thought I'd supply you with some 902s alt-rock a la American Pie the original (remember when the music we listened to involved real instruments?). Harvey Danger - "Flagpole Sitta" The Toadies - "Possum Kingdom" Blink 182 - "Dumpweed" Green Day - "Brain Stew" [...]
1. Coldplay 'Mylo Xyloto' - The happiest these have ever sounded results in yet another remarkable album, inhabited with fervency, bald-faced pop and one typically heartening concept. 2. Beirut 'The Rip Tide' - Stupendous effort from Zach Condon and his reliable trumpet. Rest of world music, over to you. 3. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds 'Noel Gallagher's High [...]

The 2-night festival has something for everyone // Follow Owl and Bear on Facebook and Twitter for contests, MP3s, and links that don't make it onto the blog.
This performance convinces me that AvA has permanently affected Tom's vocal delivery for the worse. Really kinda ruins the whole performance of one of Neighborhoods strongest tracks. For shame.
Blink 182 performed "After Midnight" on Conan . Watch the video below and pick up their album Neighborhoods on iTunes , Amazon MP3 , CD , Vinyl [Includes MP3 Digital Copy] Social Bookmarking

Photo by Lauren Guagno Although they're currently touring America - and soon heading overseas - it feels like it's been awhile since we've seen or heard from Blink-182 . (In fact, the last time they hit up the late night circuit was back in October . What gives, guys?) But last night, the California trio returned to the small screen to perform their pop-punk ballad "After Midnight" on Conan . Albeit sluggish in appearance, the three hammered out the Neighborhoods track to precision; in other words, Tom [...]

One second. Sometimes that's all a photographer gets - and hardly in ideal conditions. At worst (and most likely), a photographer may be squeezed between 15 others in the pit, mere feet away from pyrotechnics, finding support from stress-rattled knees, while focusing on a spastic frontman and sheltering oneself from a downpour, which may or may not involve a hailstorm. Truth: A great photographer handles the unenviable task of capturing that one moment everyone goes home thinking about. Half-truth: There's probably a statistic somewhere that discusses what the job does to the heart. If not, there should be a study. Double-truth: [...]

This year I delved through nearly every album I listened to in 2011 to pick out my personal cream of the crop. This is probably my most comprehensive list of "best of" songs I've done for BWC thus far...Hope you guys enjoy. The top albums of the year should follow shortly! If there are any mislabeled, mis-tagged links, let me know and I'll get it fixed. I wouldn't be surprised if I muddled through a few misclicks or something trying to copy and paste everything over Tim Kasher // [...]

O Blink 182 acaba de lançar mais um clipe vindo de seu novo álbum, Neighborhoods . Dessa vez, a faixa escolhida é Wishing Well , ambientada em imagens de turnê da banda. Mas, como muitos podem ver, o baixista Mark Hoppus é uma pessoa bastante ligada na web, portanto, a divulgação do disco vêm usando e abusando da rede mundial de computadores. Dessa vez, os californianos criaram mais um joguinho: o clipe só passa no hotsite oficial enquanto a hashtag #Blink182 estiver nos trending topics do Twitter . [...]
