I guess we are still on a political roll. But when we got this press release, I just couldn't help myself. You can see the press release after you are done rubbing one out to Palin in a mini skirt. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SARAH PALIN LOOK A LIKE PAGEANT TO TAKE PLACE IN SIN CITY LAS VEGAS – October 14, 2008 – With only a month of national exposure as the GOP's vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin has become one [...]

So...I assigned homework to the staff. Find a song that sums up the last eight years with George W. Bush, and come up with 2 or 3 sentences/paragraphs to explain the choice in song. I joined in the fun too. Problem is, we couldn't keep it short...so it's going to be a three part series. HERE IS PART THREE! MISTERZINK: Right away, I knew which song defined the torture we've dealt with from the moron-in-chief of the last eight years. "Weird Al" Yankovic [...]

I joined in the fun too. Problem is, we couldn't keep it short...so it's going to be a three part series. HERE IS PART ONE! THE LITTLE ONE: "We got him." Wow, we were impressed! That was comparatively swift and skillful! I guess military action in response [...]

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2008 is a Year of the Rat, which begins on February 7, 2008 and ends on January 25, 2009. They sound like someone... I don't remember how I stumbled across them, but I knew right away that I liked them. Figures they are from Georgia. Seems like all the bands I am falling for these days are from the South. They remind me a lot of the sound Colour Revolt had on their EP. [...]

So for this concert series piece, I will be discussing Stereolab. Don't know them? Well, you should! These guys have been around for close to two decades, and they've even had their worst emotions tested when one of Stereolab's members, Mary Hansen, was tragically killed a few years ago. They have a new album out now, and are touring in support of it, so being a decade-plus-long fan? I had to go. I'll be showcasing a few songs of theirs, but also I will be talking a little about their opening band, Le Loup . [...]

Last week, TV on the Radio released their fourth album and titled it "Dear Science." Am I being just too much of a nerd if I ask why they didn't pick back up on Radiohead references? OK, I digress. A bit of history for you first. Tunde Adebimpe and David Andrew Sitek are some of the biggest musical geniuses of the decade, and it's possible you've never heard of them. If you collect remixes, you may have heard one of Sitek's: Nine Inch Nails' Survivalism is a favorite. [...]

We've still got time I am feeling very uninspired at the moment. Sorry. I hate to disappoint, but sometimes it's tough to come up with something interesting to write, so instead, I will just highlight a few tracks that I think are interesting. Deal? Funny thing JUST happened! I put iTunes on shuffle to have something to listen to while I sit down to write this, and I totally fell in love with a new song from an album I had not gotten around [...]

So anyone my age would probably know the song that the title of this entry is from. It's one fucking badass song! The image of a Charlie Brown shirt on the DJ for Urban Dance Squad with skaters abound in an empty swimming pool is one of the things I remember clearly. So for those of you who may not know it? Check out the video for "Deeper Shade of Soul". With that said - and you all are no doubt recovering from dancing in your seats - I have this week's music [...]
Listen folks, I hate to break it to you, but Kings of Leon writes some terrible, terrible lyrics. Soft lips are open Them nuckles is pale Feels like you're dying You're dying You Your sex is on fire And so Were the words to transpire YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS! (note: maybe the last lines are "consoled by the words to transpire". I don't know. One way or another, it's pure crap.) The first time I heard this song on the radio I kept waiting [...]

This is a little short and sweet post. This is a song I first bought on music download site Stompy , and felt the need to share it with the world. Well, the world that views our site. Which I know is huge! So this group is called Rubicks . They're an odd group, mostly making pretty kitschy rock cuts. This cut, however, is a very uplifting sort of downtempo track called "Bicycle Boy". It was featured on the weird-house label U-Freqs. If you really wonder why I call it weird house? Well, check out Stompy [...]

From the blog dated September 23, 2008: Manchester Orchestra's very own lead singer Andy Hull is proud to announce the release of his second installment in the Right Away, Great Captain! series. For those unaware, Andy took us on an intense and emotionally rattling 15 songs with "The Bitter End" and now his 17th century protagonist has returned. After the crushing blow in losing his captain he has once again lifted his head and this time he is heading home... To Kill His Wife... Stay tuned: November 11th will see [...]

I really wanted to like anathallo. It was long ago when they were on "the list" for a scouting trip to Zia Records. Anathallo, Vedera, Paramore, The Format, Ben Kweller (I still have it in written form. It's saved as a memento.) In the years to follow, I would find that many musical artists whom I respected were big fans of anathallo, yet, I still couldn't get into them. I've found another ensemble-slash-collaboration band, however, that I can get into. It's called The Sound of Animals Fighting. [...]

Bloc Party has a new album out called Intimacy. I think it's fantastic, but I have liked everything this band has put out. It speaks to many parts of me. I love rock. I am a DJ. I like diversity. I like indie bands, too. Bloc Party is probably one of the most popular bands in the indie genre. Despite their popularity, this new album seems to be getting negative feedback: sounding overproduced to sounding messy and utilizing too many effects. "Were you hoping for a miracle?" [...]

This is going to be a very short and sweet post. I saw quite possibly the best show out of the probably one hundred or so I've seen in my short lifetime this Monday. Now, you folks probably will go, "Who's James?" I've heard that a lot. They're the guys who sang the song "Laid". You know it. Trust me. The lyrics start off with the following: "This bed is on fire with passionate love/ The neighbors complain about the noises above/ but she only cums when she's on top." [...]
How many band requests do you get on MySpace? Do you pay attention? You should. In my never-to-be-humble opinion, it's one of the most worthwhile reasons to have the social utility. Discovering new music, and keeping tabs on your favorite bands. Well, if you live and breathe music, like I do. Scanners recently added me as a friend, and within a moment after checking out their page, speaking of breathing music, my lungs rejoiced. It was like hearing the voice that's been inside me all my [...]

FUCK! /giggle I always wanted to start a post with that word. It's a beautiful word! There is a lady at the inALLcaps.com HQ that hates when I say that word! As soon as the word fuck comes out of my mouth she says, "Fudge." No. It's fuck. It's a great word. Embrace it. Ok. Let's move on. I am desperate to get something good to you. But I got nothing. Well I do. I have some super writing in my head for you. But it's not gonna happen today. [...]

Here's something interesting I just heard over the weekend. It was a really cool cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing In The Dark". If you've somehow never heard the song, don't worry, I'll help fill you in. Most of you, however, probably have heard this song. At this point, most people born the year it came out would be approaching their mid-20's. Which doesn't really make me feel that much better. Hell, my girlfriend was born just two years before this came out. Yes, Father Time is a bastard. If I could pistol whip him, I would. And hard. [...]

Aaron Gillespie is a pretty impressive individual. He has been drumming for the band Underoath since he was fourteen years old, and remains the only member of the band to be featured on every recording. In 2006, he recorded nearly all the instruments for "Southern Weather", the debut album for his side project, The Almost. Many compare Aaron to Dave Grohl, because of the drummer-turned-frontman career path. But Gillespie's achievements to date, nevermind what he will achieve in the future, are on a much different scale. [...]
