You may have seen the live version of Jack White's "Sixteen Saltines" on SNL a couple of weeks ago. Here is the far superior studio version of the track. This is as close to a White Stripes song that we...

As we wait for Melvins new full-length Melvins Lite to come out in early June, the band gives us new music for free. A five song EP called The Bulls and the Bees. Put your e-mail addy in the widget...

Robert Pollard is a genius. You already know this. If you don't, then you need to check out Guided By Voices catalog. Most of it is very strong power pop goodness. He's cranking out yet another record, which is his/GBV's...

First, I love The Futureheads, and I love the fact that they did this tongue and cheek cover of Black Eyed Peas "Meet Me Halfway." However, to do an album that's completely a cappella I think is a waste of...

For my money, on paper this had a ton of potential. It's the reworked track "Where Were You" that was "Where Was I" from Thomas' latest album. Immediately you are hit with autotune, and I was immediately lost. The Sufjan...

King Tuff is here to rock with a kick ass new track called "Bad Thing" off his forthcoming second record on Sub Pop. Take a listen below and also download that puppy. Check him out in San Francisco on Friday...

After hearing a couple of tracks off their new album, I'm really excited for the Steve Albini produced album In the Belly of the Brazen Bull from The Cribs. Here comes another track that rocks called “Come On, Be A...

Best Coast are set to return with album number two and hopefully miss the sophomore jinx May 15th with The Only Place. It's said to be a more mature record, 11 tracks, and produced by Jon Brion. Look for them...

During a rehearsal in Portland, Oregon The Shins threw together this performance video of the track "Bait and Switch." It sounds like Danger Mouse's influence from James Mercer's last project, Broken Bells creeps in in spots on this. Most Shins...

Modesto natives Grandaddy will reunite after a six year layoff. 2000's The Sophtware Slump to me is one of the best albums of the last decade, so it's nice to see. You might remember burnout, and lack of funds were...

Santigold has made headlines with some pretty interesting quotes in new interviews. When talking about music from bands like LMFAO, she says "That shit makes me cry." Can't say I disagree. She's back with a video for the very strong...

In celebration of Woody Guthrie's 100th birthday this year, Wilco and Billy Bragg are releasing an expanded version of their Mermaid Sessions I and II albums. Also, 17 tracks from the III sessions will be included. Above is the cover...

Norah Jones totally sexed herself up visually. So what do we get with a Danger Mouse produced record? At least on the track "Happy Pills" we get a midtempo soul feel with a touch of what she's shown in picture....

Radiohead opened up their first U.S. tour in four years in Miami last night and debuted two new songs. Apparently they are called “Identikit” and “Cut A Hole.” Almost half of the songs from the setlist came from The King...

It’s been three years, but now we get our first taste of the new Regina Spektor track, “All the Rowboats.” It’s mellow with the soft, steady beat of the bass drum, and of course Spektor’s piano going right along with...

You could say that Bon Iver is having a pretty good month or two, even right down to the Justin Timberlake parody on SNL. Now, the beautiful video for "Towers," with drawings on a man's wall that leads him out...

Arctic Monkeys could have quite possibly picked the worst time to drop a new track. When everybody is in bed or settling into bed after the Oscars. Great track though called "R U Mine," with a video that's totally D.I.Y....

Take an old, beat up house in Dallas, with wiring hanging out of the walls, light lead singer Alejandra Deheza in a certain way, and you have a cool School of Seven Bells video for "Lafaye." She has a ghost...

Jimmy Fallon has really gained my respect over the last couple of years he's been on the air. Obviously, he has proven that he can parody just about anybody. From Neil Young to David Bowie to Mick Jagger. Now he...

Islands frontman Nick Thorburn decides to mix it up in the new video for "Hallways." How about ditching the band and replacing them with skeletons. Well...maybe that is the band, who knows?! He slowly warms up to his new backing...
