So, I started recording this one on Friday night. Pretty typical. Then I finished up this evening (It's Saturday night as I type this) and for some reason I got myself worked up about a particular issue. I mean, don't get me wrong. There's not a blue streak of cursing or anything, but I definitely work some stuff out over the course of a couple intros. It'll either be interesting to you or not, but I hope you'll enjoy the music that happens in between! Countdown #89 ***Featuring*** Ben Folds Five The [...]
The week went by so fast and yet it was full of stress for most of the people I know. Weird, huh? Well, I know what I always do to destress: Rock out to some Alternative Tunes. The funny thing about this countdown is that the songs can take on a comfort food feel to them. So, pull up a chair and enjoy! Countdown #88 ***Featuring*** The Black Keys Blink-182 Bush Cage the Elephant Chevelle Coldplay Foo Fighters Lifehouse Red Hot Chili Peppers Switchfoot Young the Giant

Our review of the stellar new collection of Bob Dylan covers in support of Amnesty International.
Haha I have never seen that word spelled out before. It looks silly. Here's a new countdown. Hopefully no new songs will go on the chart until I figure out how to get my computer fixed after it suddenly found itself sitting in a pool of soapy water. Pray that it's just the power cord that's fried, people! Countdown #87 ***Featuring*** Ben Kweller The Black Keys Blink-182 Bush Cage the Elephant Chevelle Coldplay Foo Fighters Red Hot Chili Peppers Switchfoot Young the Giant
Watch the two bands shred pavement while on tour together.
So, you may not be aware of this, but you are reading this in the middle of my daughter's 6-day birthday extravaganza. Well, maybe "extravaganza" is a bit dramatic, but damn if this kid isn't celebrating her birthday on three non-consecutive days! Her actual birthday was on Thursday (1/12) and K and I took the day off and spent it with her! It was lots of fun. Now, when you're reading this, we'll be preparing for the actual birthday party. Fun times. We're probably rocking out to the countdown right along with you! Countdown #86 [...]
On last year's opening slot on the Foo Fighters tour, Cage the Elephant's drummer had to miss some shows for a medical emergency. Always the professional, Dave Grohl stepped up to the kit and filled in on drums. Here's a great video of Cage the Grohl performing "Aberdeen" ... which is also the city that [...]
Last fall, Cage The Elephant had the opportunity of a lifetime when they were selected to open for the Foo Fighters on select dates of their Fall tour. Unfortunately for CTE drummer Jared Champion, his appendix burst and he was unable to perform for a few shows. Who would the band find to fill in? Oh, just Mr. DAVE GROHL (BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE!). Watch this video of Dave performing "Aberdeen" with Cage The Elephant below and pick up...

We saw some grainy footage last year from Cage The Elephant featuring Dave Grohl on drums, but today courtesy of the band themselves we get a live video with HQ sound. It features some footage from on stage and in the crowd at a recent LA date. For the track "Aberdeen", Cage have Dave doing his impeccable thing behind the kit. I always feel like Dave's about to do one of his crazy drum fills like in Them Crooked Vulture's " Nobody Loves Me and Neither Do I ". (Un)Fortunately for Cage The Elephant he puts [...]
