From a Rhythm magazine interview with Dave Lombardo that I saw on Blabbermouth: Rhythm: Playing with METALLICA at Download in 2004 must have been quite an experience. Lombardo: "Yeah. Show 'em how it's done! No disrespect to Lars [Ulrich], because Lars is great and he's a very nice guy, but he needs to spend a week at [...]
Brace yourselves for Adult Contemporary! It'll see daylight in early 2010. The album (13 tracks) will include a duet with Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters). Follow Casey Spooner on Twitter. New Yorkers can catch Fischerspooner on New Year's Eve! MP3: Fischerspooner - A Kick In The Teeth (Good/Evil Mix)

I like keeping track periodically of the States I've visited. I'm of the persuasion that airports don't count, (there's a longstanding disagreement between my parents about whether airport visits count when tallying how many states you've been to--and me bringing it up might spark another chapter of that mini-argument). Anyway, I located on this blog where I tallied up how many states I've been to in 2005, and then did it again today. I try to not just cross a state's border but have a "quality" experience in each state-a memory to remember. One things for [...]

Oprah Winfrey announced on today's show that 2011 will be the last year of the Oprah Winfrey Show. It will be the 25th year of the show, but Oprah has other endeavors on her mind like a new talk show on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. I also assume that " O Magazine" will continue to produce more issues of Oprah on the cover. It is a shock that she's somewhat retiring, but the talk show host is worth over $2 billion. I think she'll be fine and ratings have slipped seven percent from [...]
Usually we leave the FEEL GOOD FRIDAY posts to just PrettyboyPaul because he's much more hip than we are... but this was really just TOO good not to put up Not many artists from Amsterdam make their way to the states, and when they do, they usually make all the kids loose their shit. .Rubix is one of those artists we CAN NOT WAIT too see live!! ALL of his songs are pretty epic.. but this is just ONE of the pure fire that he [...]

Als er iemand de groove te pakken heeft de laatste tijd dan is dat wel Londenaar Samual Shepherd aka Floating Points . Samual is pas sinds dit jaar aan het produceren, maar zijn loopbaan kent een vliegende start. Zijn Vacuum EP wordt alom bejubeld, hij remixte al de Basement Jaxx en zijn tracks worden gedraaid door alle toonaangevende dj's. De nieuwe Sebastian Tellier single 'L'Amour et La Violence' is ook door Floating Points geremixt. Deze track is nu tot 26 november gratis te downloaden via FACT Magazine . Hier luisteren kan ook: [...]

Despite Paul Banks' active promotion of his impressive solo debut, Julian Plenti is...Skyscraper , the fourth Interpol album is still on track for release in early 2010. Drummer Sam Fogarino has even alluded to its close relationship to Interpol's darkly expansive 2002 debut, Turn on the Bright Lights , telling Paste Magazine, "In trying to move forward, there was an unspoken realization that you can't let go of your sonic-defining tag." An intriguing sentiment. While The Strokes argue over whether their new songs veer too far from the band's core sound, Interpol is retreating back [...]

As a way to support the charity which searches for a cure for prostate cancer (it affects 1 in 6 men) The Moustache Men DJs came up with the idea to make a mixtape, appropriately called Barbershop Music . It's a one of a kind Mix CD. It's a collection of songs, edits, remixes, blends, whatever you'd like to call them that the 3 of them put together and we fucking love it. CLICK HERE for Tracklist. You can also stream the whole thang right here: [...]
Toen ik maandag mijn mail checkte kreeg ik een enthousiast mailtje van een Engelse vriendin met daarin een link van een video ' die ik maar moest openen' . Jawel, het was de video van één van mijn favoriete bands van de afgelopen jaren. Het blijft voor mij een mysterie waarom een band als Coldplay zoveel waardering krijgt terwijl een band als Doves (minstens zo goed – anders beter- ) internationaal gezien relatief onbekend is. Erg vind ik het niet, wel opvallend. Laten we hopen dat het trio uit Manchester volgend jaar wel naar Nederland komt! [...]

Yesterday THE MAN busted me for posting a 1993 Willie Nelson MP3 that no one listens to anyway. I can't imagine that Mr. Nelson gives two shits about a 16 year old track being posted on a random website, and I also can't figure out why the record company does. Its not like people are running out to buy Across the Borderline . Its currently selling for $6.99 (US) on Amazon, and is rated #22,528 on Amazon's music sales list. Dudes, I'm giving you free advertising! Do you hire [...]

Juno-nominated band Elliott Brood have headed down from the great north of Canada to play a few shows in the United States. The tour actually kicked off earlier this week, but they still have a few more shows on the schedule, including a New York City date in Brooklyn at Union Hall on Tuesday, November 24. Check out the full list of remaining US tour dates after the jump. Elliott Brood tour dates: November 20 – Chapel Hill, NC @ Local 506 November 22 – Washington, [...]
God bless James Szalapski for crafting Heartworn Highways (shot in '75, released in '81) because today's audience is more receptive than the one that existed during its bleak, brief original theatrical release. Heartworn is for music lovers that like to jam tunes, get wasted and watch dogs bark and trucks pass by, for people who [...]
