Jack Antonoff, the lead singer of Steel Train , knows a thing or two about having fun. The band's high energy and often unhinged live shows are the very definition of the word. So, surely the group's brand of New Jersey rock is enough of a blast to necessitate a sale of its new self titled album. Just in case it isn't, though, Steel Train is offering up something conceivably more glee-inducing than themselves: An accompanying album entitled Terrible Thrills Vol. 1 , an effort that features reimaginings of the album by a plethora of female artists. [...]
With the release of their upcoming self-titled album approaching, Steel Train is proud to announce an exclusive all-female companion album that features each of the new album's twelve tracks reinterpreted, re-imagined and remixed by some of Steel Train's favorite female artists. Buy CDs, MP3s, more: Steel Train on Amazon.com Steel Train on Amazon.co.uk The release entitled [...]
If you heard that there was a covers album, a "tribute album" if you will, that found a batch of female artists all covering the work one band, and the artists involved included cinematic-sexpot/sometime-sing er Scarlett Johansson , alt-pop darlings Tegan & Sara , next-big-thing Holly Miranda , and more, who might you expect to be the honoree they were all covering? Radiohead? TV on the Radio? Maybe My Morning Jacket? Nope. Try Steel Train , a hot little band from New Jersey who has spent the last few years touring with everyone from The Fray [...]
As it turns out, the Radiohead covers EP I mentioned last week isn't the only forthcoming cover song project for Amanda Palmer. This time, however, the former Dresden Dolls frontwoman will be among a host famous names to reinterpret, re-imagine, and remix another band. Pre-orders and deluxe packages of New Jersey indie-rock outfit Steel Train 's new self-titled LP will be accompanied by Terrible Thrills Vol. 1, an album of new versions of the band's songs by an all-female roster, including Tegan & Sara, Scarlett Johansson, Amanda Palmer, Holly Miranda, Anna Waronker, Deradoorian, [...]
Thora Birch The fact that Mena Suvari ended up having the better post American Beauty career ahead of Wes Bentley and Thora Birch is shocking. I have nothing against Suvari personally, I just cannot fathom why Thora Birch is not a bigger name right now. She was consistently good as a child actor and now is the point where her career should really be taking off. Clearly Birch has been a good luck charm for many actors/actresses whom have worked with her. Keira Knightly, Elijah Wood, Scarlett Johannson, [...]

If you have any suggest on who you want in the Top 10, just make a comment. Check out who is in this week's Top 10. This Week Last Week Total Weeks Artist Song [...]
i Here is a new installment of the music singles chart. There is a new #1 song this week. Decided to use the "Double A-sided" style which the British use. If you don't like that one song from that artist you might like the other song. Check out this week's chart. This Week Last Week Total Weeks Artist Song [...]
While I'd venture to guess that most of our readers are a bit too old for the whole Twilight phenomenon, there is a reason to get excited about the vampire-loving series as the soundtrack for franchise's third movie Eclipse, which hits theaters on June 30, will once again skew towards indie-rock fans. The album, which is scheduled to come out on June 8, will feature previously unreleased tracks from HT faves - Band Of Horses, Vampire Weekend, The Dead Weather, Fanfarlo, The Black Keys and Beck [...]
Iron Man 2 There was a moment in the middle of Iron Man 2 where I thought to myself "man, this feels like an origins film and not a sequel." Instead of taking me on a new journey with the characters I loved in the first film. This particular film felt like it was trying to give me a Coles Notes version in preparation for a course I never signed up for. In short, Iron Man 2 tries hard to recapture [...]

A couple of weeks ago I was window shopping in Glasgow when I chanced upon a wee stall selling replica football tops and assorted football related t-shirts - Scotland Argentina '78 -inspired designs and the likes. Unfortunately, the Celtic-inspired tops seemed to be the best - the Ramones logo re-done with the names of the Lisbon Lions, the Dylan 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' video where Bob discards 3 cards saying " It's A ", " Grand Old Team ", " To Play For ". Umpteen Larsson tops. That sort of thing. Amongst all the Archie Gemmell and Old [...]
Interesting bit of news here regarding the production of Lunatic At Large. It seems Sam Rockwell and Scarlett Johansson have signed on to star in the movie, which was commissioned by the late Stanley Kubrick in the 1950's. The treatment was written by Jim Thompson, who collobarated with Kubrick on Paths of Glory and The Killing, and recently discovered by Kubrick's son-in-law . Lunatic At Large is described by The New York Times as "a dark and surprising mystery of sorts, in which the greatest puzzle is who, [...]
This has been a pretty rad and busy week, but it's not been so crazy that I haven't noticed that I'm nearing on my 30,000th tweet . Is that a sickness? Yeah, it probably is. Something that's not so disgusting? All these tasty morsels of music news. Mmmmm. Scarlett Johansson [...]
Comincia a prendere forma l'attesissimo film biografico su Kurt Cobain e i Nirvana che la Universal Pictures ha più volte annunciato nel corso degli ultimi anni. Secondo diverse fonti giornalistiche che stanno accavallandosi in questi giorni sui portali cinematografici e musicali di mezzo mondo, all'attore di "Twilight" Robert Pattinson e alla cantattrice canadese Scarlett Johansson sarebbero stati affidati rispettivamente i ruoli di Cobain e di sua moglie Courtney Love . Per quanto riguarda invece il regista, nonostante le prime indiscrezioni portassero tutte verso [...]
When I awoke this morning, my Twitter friends list featured a whole lot of 140-characters-or-less commentary from last night's unintentionally hilarious Finntroll show at New York's Gramercy Theatre. Yet tucked away between the twitticisms (see what I did there?) was an outraged comment from a friend over the gossip that Robert fucking Pattinson has [...]
There's nothing better than a buxom red head in a bodysuit. It's what I imagine a portly, shirt five sizes too small, 8-year old looks at a Snickers like. Except in Scarlett's case, her almond joys are strikingly obvious even with her candy wrapping still on. Lunch time!
