The clock is ticking, less than five days and Super Bowl XLIII is upon us! What does this have to do with music? Nothing really, until we went and asked a whole bunch of bands we love and respect who they're pulling for this Sunday in Tampa (just to bring everyone up to speed: it's the Arizona Cardinals vs. the Pittsubrgh Steelers). So keep reading to find out which brave souls remain undaunted by the seven-point spread, who hates the desert, who loves whiskey, who's holding a grudge against Pittsburgh, who loathes industry, who got some help from [...]

This week's edition is particularly jam-packed, a mix of music's best new singles and remixes as well as a few songs from some artists we strongly suggest you check in.
