Pause for Cause: Invisible Children Thrice's Dustin Kensrue signs a guitar for Invisible Children DATELINE: SAN DIEGO We are going to break form here - I want to discuss a cause being taken up by a number of musicians seeking change - and better lives for hundreds of thousands of children and civilians whose lives are being torn apart [...]
2007 was a damn good year for new music. It was propelled forward by some sort of momentous occasion in 2006 that seemed to save all of the genres. 2008 blew by quickly, though, and the albums put out were still burning the energy radiating from the year before. I don't know that many albums could argue they were radiating their own light. I have actually had a hell of a time putting together a Top Ten. A few of my favorites put out new albums this year, but those didn't change [...]
No surprise that it's another small release week. Mostly unknown or undesirable releases, with a few gems, namely the stateside release of the Justice DVD that I want, a Thrice live DVD and a Cat Power EP. There's also a debut from a new Asthmatic Kitty band called The Welcome Wagon that our old pal Jon Shell tipped me off about . They sound a lot like Sufjan Stevens , so if you swing that way, check them out. :: Alice Russell , [...]

Yeah, we know it's a little hokey, but with an American holiday centered around food consumption close at hand, any post involving the topic of stuffing our gullets is apropos. We even feature one band that we didn't have to bastardize in order to gormandize. Think of it as a little trivia dog wrapped in a big, buttery, campy croissant. Any and all user submitted parody names and Photoshops are encouraged in the comments. Have at it! Full list after the jump. 25. Explosions in the Pie [...]

Are you a fan of music from Finland? Probably not. Should you be? Probably. The band LAPKO hails from this otherwise forgotten country (here is the U.S. at least) and is better than most of the shit you've been listening to lately. Their 2007 release, Young Desire , features stand-out tracks such as "This Is An Aggressive Melancholy" and the title track "Young Desire" that can be heard on their MySpace page . This is yet to be available in the U.S., but for your sake I hope that changes soon. [...]
RISE AGAINST are just a few weeks out from the release of their 5th studio album, Appeal To Reason . They recorded the album at The Blasting Room with producer/drummer/all around cool guy Bill Stevenson , who's handled the knob-twisting role for the band in the past. The band just posted a new track "Re-Education Through Labor" up on their Myspace page . It's a first listen for most of the public, and hopefully a good indication of what we're in for on October 7th. Upon first listen it's pretty impressive to [...]
map from the Library of Congress Yesterday, we experienced an earthquake registered at 5.4 (or 5.6, or 5.8, depending on who you believe), the most jarring and longest that I've felt in a long time. Everyone I know is fine, and I don't think there were any injuries directly related to the earthquake at all. But it got me thinking about two things; first, a 5.4 earthquake in some places on the planet would equal devastation, and second...when is the fabled "Big One" going to hit? When the first [...]
