Our third installment from our top 100 just keeps getting better by the track. To stop reading our list now would be a sin, so without further ado, here are 20 more tracks you need ...

My listening habits have been strange lately. Check that my listening habits have always been strange. I tend to get stuck on certain bands and even certain songs for unhealthy stretches of time. Currently I have been stuck on Julian Casablancas' solo album Phrazes For The Young , specifically track number six - "River Of Brakelights". I'm not saying listening to one song over and over is a bad thing, but it does limit my ability to thoroughly listen to new albums. [...]
So many new videos popped up the past couple of weeks for tracks in our Top 100 Songs of 2009, we thought we would make it our theme for this Video Cafe edition. Here are four videos from our Top 100 countdown with the chart number (#) indicated next to the song name. This song may have be remembered most for the TV commercials, but here's the [...]

Come promesso dal batterista Fabrizio Moretti ai microfoni di BBC6 Music , gli Strokes sono tornati in studio per registrare il loro quarto album . A confermare la notizia è lo stesso sito internet della band indie rock statunitense, attraverso il quale scopriamo che Julian Casablancas e compagni, a partire dallo scorso 1 Febbraio, hanno cominciato ad incidere ufficialmente il loro disco nei prestigiosi Avatar Studios di New York sotto la supervisione di Joe Chicarelli , un esperto produttore che ha collaborato in passato con [...]
This was a treat for me to stumble upon today and a must for sharing purposes! I thought this was an interesting video about the pre-production of Julian Casablancas' ablum and the music video for his first single " 11th Dimension ".

Left & Right In the Dark MP3 File

It's been a week or so since I wrote anything. Writer's block? Laziness? Nothing to write about? Who knows? I've been sitting on this topic for a few days & now I feel the time is write to truly express my outrage (probably not the right word). Coachella, in case you live in a cave (talking to you Osama), is a 3 day music festival in Indio, California in April every year that highlights some of the most amazing bands & usually showcases new & old alike. This year, however, the lineup is shit. Talk about getting right to the [...]
It's January 31st, and I am pretty sick right now. I have been pushing aside doing write ups for my top albums of 2009. I just haven't been able to find the time. It is late January and I am just getting my list out now. The blurbs would feel forced if I got them out by today, so I decided not to force the issue and to just give you the list without blurbs. 2009 was a pretty good year in music overall. I spent countless hours with these albums making great memories with my friends, and [...]

So I can't believe I haven't mentioned Tanlines on here. First heard their name through this Au Revoir Simone remix they made. Later I came across their track "New Flowers" and rocked out on that for a couple of months. They were the opening band for the Julian Casablancas show a few weeks ago here in DC (personally thought that they seemed more genuine and intriguing than their headliner). And yet, I have never mentioned them. Blasphemy. Came across an excellent [...]

Seriously. While seats are limited and that 5:30 taping time isn't ideal if you happen to have a job, the booking masterminds over at 30 Rock have been collecting coups like puppies do kisses these days. There's the Roots. There was the Jawbox comeback . Then there was the return of Sunny Day Real Estate . Then there was that time viewers could tell the Pixies which Doolittle jam they'd like to hear most . Via Twitter! Younger bands have made their TV debuts there as well [...]

Ormai sono noti con l'indicativo nome di "Shockwaves NME Awards" ( shockwave significa "onda d'urto"), proprio per chiarire la forza e l'impatto delle nuove band scoperte da quella che è, probabilmente, la più prestigiosa rivista musicale britannica. Il New Musical Express è da anni il 'termometro' e la guida delle nuove tendenze: idolatra gruppi rendendoli famosi nell'arco di una recensione e li getta nel dimenticatoio altrettanto velocemente. Nel bene e nel male, quello che hanno sempre fatto molte riviste musicali e che oggi è abitudine diffusa su tutti i mezzi di comunicazione. [...]

You guys have waited pretty patiently for me to get off my lazy ass and get my best of 2009 lists out to you. I mean it's already 15 days into 2010, I need to get with it! So like I said in my #100-51 list , I didn't include singles that were released in 2009 that have 2010 album release dates (such as Vampire Weekend's Cousins) since I consider them 2010 releases! I did include artists like Local Natives however since I obsessed over them this year and their album did come out in the UK! [...]
Filed under: Video of the Day Artist: Julian Casablancas Video: '11th Dimension' Highlight: The Strokes frontman flirts the line between retro and futuristic while paying homage to Bruce Lee's ' Game of Death .'
The Strokes frontman just did a few dates at Terminal 5 in New York. Two notable songs from the performances were a slowed down cover of The Strokes demo "I'll Try Anything Once" and a 30 second improv cover of Jay-Z's " Empire State of Mind". Searched YouTube for the best vids I could find and here are the ones I found. Pretty cool.
