Considering my new found infatuation with Black Moth Super Rainbow this piece of news via myspace bulletin definitely put a smile on my face. if you want to see the video for "hairy candy" that got banned by YouTube, it's up on pitchfork now. From what I gather it isn't quite safe for work so I guess I'll wait until I get home to view it. If you watch it let us know what we are missing. Watch the video here . Black Moth Super Rainbow - [...]

Riloy Kiley are giving us another taste from their upcoming album, Under the Blacklight , with the 60s sounding pop gem "Silver Lining."

Look for Under the Blacklight in stores August 21st. Rilo Kiley - "Silver Lining" (stream)

It appears that this Tuesday is another strong one as far as new releases go. I have been waiting for the new Okkervil River for quite some time now.

Let us know which album cover you think is the worst.

It appears Sir Elton John is at it again. This time he wants the internet shut down. A rather simple request if you ask me. Just shut it down. I'm sure there is a central Internet office somewhere with a big lever we can just pull down to the off position.

Alex Church, the only invariable member and driving force behind the Los Angeles-based Sea Wolf , crafts beautifully arranged folk-rock with great pop sensibility. Sea Wolf's colorful instrumentation allows Church to escape the clutches of the singer/songwriter genre that artists who front one man bands generally fall into.
