Happy New Year. First great music news of said new year? Soundgarden reunion is a go! How f'ing crazy is that? I guess Chris Cornell finally came to his senses. Maybe his shitty Timbaland produced R&B album, which bombed horribly, was the last straw or this is just a reunion tour cash grab. We shall see. I'm pretty pumped tough. I finally [...]
Check the links for full reviews. Live Shows: 1. Seinfeld From the moment he sprinted dramatically on stage one couldn't help but smile. Hearing his voice live was surreal. Hours of sitting in front of your television watching Seinfeld suddenly came rushing through the forefront of your consciousness causing a single tear to descend. Once everybody got over the fact that he does exist in three dimensions, the laughter was continuous. 2. Weezer Rivers went bonkers throughout the entire show. [...]
As the first decade of the 2000's draws to a close, it's common place to look back over the last ten years and take stock. It with this in mind that I set myself to the task of determining who would be my choice for band of the decade. Some contenders immediately jumped to the top of the list, but standing in the darkened cavern of the Kool Haus it became perfectly clear who the eventual winner would be. I already had it boiled down to three bands. The two runners up being Thrice [...]
84. The Rakes 'Klang!' (V2) - Rightfully bumped them off for good. 83. Peter Doherty 'Grace/Wastelands' (EMI) - Just another meatless hint of what could be. 82. Little Boots 'Hands' (Sixsevenine) - Alright, but the weakest of all the year's lass pop. 81. [...]

Petty's back, baby! His career resurgence began with his Super Bowl Halftime slot in '08 (and history has already forgotten that he was purportedly the NFL's second choice, after Bruce Springsteen), continued with sell-out summer shed tours, and has recently hit a new peak when his four-disc Live Anthology dropped last week to a combination of critical acclaim and some why-don'
In a year full of amazing new indie artists, it was easy to overlook some of my favorite bands from years past. One such band is Taking Back Sunday, who released their fourth studio album, New Again , back on June 1. I'm not going to lie, I haven't been as big of a fan since the release of their first two albums, both of which were my high school anthems. Songs like Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Team) and You're So Last Summer from Tell All Your Friends , and [...]
Around 02/03, when it was in full swing, I tried to avoid the whole screamo movement (or whatever the bands want to be called). It just wasn't for me. Band like Breaking Benjamin, Thursday, et. al just weren't personally compelling. I didn't have much in my life that needed to ...

On November 6th the Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino in Uncasville, CT played host to a rather different set of clientele. In addition to the 21+ crowd the casino normally caters to, on this night the resort was abuzz with thousands of teens who made the trip to this northeast gambling mecca for a chance to see Taking Back Sunday perform live. Performance wise, Taking Back Sunday played a rather entertaining, albeit a bit predictable, set. Although the tour may have been in support of New Again , the band's [...]

John Nolan then went on to start a solo project and will be releasing his fist solo album on October 27, 2009. After just looking at the cover of the album, the album caught my attention.

Mark, Blink-182 Local radio station 96.5 Buzz had a little festival of bands at Cap Fed Park on September 4th over labor day weekend. Headliners Blink-182 with other bands, Weezer, Taking Back Sunday, Chester French, The Von Bondies, Republic Tigers, Stellastar, Matt and Kim and a couple more that I missed due to traffic on the exit to the venue from an accident. Overall a pretty good little festival, I liked the smaller bands better than Blink and Weezer. Matt and Kim were especially good, I love the way Kim plays drums, always smiling and cheerful. [...]
