13 1/2 points. That's the official line that the Las Vegas oddsmakers are saying that the Patriots will beat the Broncos with an over/under 50. In other words, odds makers are claiming that it's going to be a high scoring contest with the Patriots handing it to the Broncos. It would be a bad idea to put a small wager if you can on the Broncos to win outright. The odds are heavily not in their favor and that's where they like their chances. Their walls are against the wall and after last week's OT winner [...]
Off the heels of their first vinyl release, 731, Los Angeles-based indie pop quartet Saint Motel are pleased to announce their upcoming national headline tour. Kicking off in San Diego on February 8th,...

For most artists, saying that they're putting out a collection of rare or unreleased material is really a codeword for: "I wrote a bunch of really shitty songs back in the day that I didn't want to release because I thought they blew ass and people would hate them, but, hey, things are kind of slow right now and I did spend all that time working on them, so here you go — a bunch of shitty songs." And yes, I know there is a litany of b-sides and rarities collections from any number of artists that totally [...]

For a band that has enjoyed international success due largely to their own brand of British rock characterized by high-energy and uber-catchy melodic and lyrical hooks, their third full-length, Junk of the Heart (Happy) is surprisingly mellow. Or maybe we've sold them short with this expectation. More and more, bands tend to be pigeonholed within a specific niche while they are, in reality, quite capable of exceeding those boundaries. And though some fans may look at this album as an indication that this once-angsty group is now settling down and, stated begrudgingly, "finding their more mature side," I [...]

[A weekend special: Here are three local bands who have gotten the remix treatment.] Saint Motel - "Puzzle Pieces (Junk Remix)" — Indie rock outfit Saint Motel gets a danceable but darker remix from Junk . Heavier beats warp the vocals and rhythm while also touching on the dark subject matter hidden in between those peppy keyboard riffs in the original (which we premiered here ). Saint Motel plays the free outdoor Tarfest Music Festival today along with Everest, [...]
Dublin band Tarantella Fall today unveiled their video for 'Junk', the second track to be taken from their debut album Abandoned Road, which came out earlier this year. The video involves a rather messy and mysterious game of cards. If you don't know the rules to any card game bar [Read more]

It's been a few years since the honor of presenting a night in Long Beach was bestowed upon us and we couldn't be more happy to bring some friends out to the greatness that is The Prospector. If you or someone you know live within a 150 mile radius of this fine establishment, we highly recommend moving your beautiful behinds in the direction of Juniper & 7th on Tuesday for a couple reasons: Filet
Turns out, there is a place where you can sell your unwanted custom-made Pokemon maxi pad.

'Cleaning out my closet' as Eminem once mellifluously rapped. I bet he didn't have to contend with 24-year-old mixtapes, Minidisc players, photos of self and others looking obscenely young, and alarming cassettes of the Now That's What I Call Music 7 variety. Oh no, I bet it was all Uzis and Harley Davidson lighters with Eminem...
two point two million of your shiny new pounds went on this laughable ass-backwards attempt to scare yr kids. £2.2 million by christ. i'm just waiting on the forty million james cameron directed anti-ketamine series coming out in the summer. anyways i can't tell the difference, man, between this far out shit and the far out shit below. man. we really are a [...]
Street Carnage you win. I'm linking to your site and bumping your traffic because well... you're bumping heroin and trying to do pushups. You go youuuuu. Also lets talk about Heroin becoming cool again. It's infiltrated my circle of friends. Shit's like cocaine now. Looks like it's doing some things in NY (thats where this dude is from right) and London's down with everything... so i'm calling heroin to be the next cool drug choice! Then some kid we all appreciate will die on it, and we'll stumble back through [...]

Due to a lack of time tonight, i've dug up an old post (from June 2005 - that's old folks!), as I felt like bringing a tiny bit more attention to an indie pop hit that I love and no one else seems to remember. One day I dream of djing this somewhere. I would be the only person dancing, but that would be fiiiine. Here's my original post!: Okay here's a band that were quite clearly forgotten because they didn't make much of an impression in the first place. The promo copy that I own of [...]
