Interview: The New Regime (Ilan Rubin) You may know Ilan Rubin as the current drummer of Welsh powerhouse Lostprophets , also previously of Denver Harbor and Fenix*TX , but not many know the 20-year-old as the talented multi-instrumentalist that he is.

For example, I once read an interview where Reznor said [...]

Grrrr, my internet's been cutting in/out all day... and the only cure is a monster batch of even more 80s covers! Here are some that didn't make the first cut , mostly because they don't carry the same personal resonance as some of those earlier picks. Some I just plain forgot to include and the 80s police got mad at me. The Pigeon Detectives - The Power of Love [originally by Huey Lewis & The News] Tropical Jazz Big Band XI - [...]

On the plus side, it's stopped raining. For the briefest of moments, blue sky peeks through the clouds offering a glimpse of sunlight. On the down side, the previous day's downpour has taken it's toll. The site resembles a war time trench post battle. Traipsing through squelchy, sloshy pools of liquefied mud, we pass by the animated wailings of Alanis Morrisette on our way to the second stage to watch The Hold Steady . Already on stage when we get there, the band are ripping through a set of bar room Americana rock [...]

1. Bryan Adams - Summer of 69' Feels like: Nostalgic recollections over lemonade on a hot summer night The line: "When I look back now, that summer seemed to last forever. And if I had the choice, yeah I'd always wanna be there. Those were the best days of my life" Sounds like: It's an unplugged version, so there's lotsa raw emotion here. Buy it 2.

It's Thursday again but this week I'm going to align the covers around the new King of Pop, or at the very least the Prince of Pop - Justin Timberlake . [MP3] Rock Plaza Central - SexyBack A friend of my sent me Rock Plaza Central's CD awhile back and I really enjoyed the dark instrumentation contrasting with their Mountain Goat-like vocals, so when I came across their cover of Timberlake's "SexyBack" I raised a suspicious eyebrow to say the least. The greatest part of the [...]
