Now a days, it seems as though there are very few artists who no one can ever say anything bad about, and when you have the chance to actually meet those artist and become their friends you can understand why. (photo by: John Henry Baliton) Free the Robots is one of those artists, I remember first hearing about them 3 years ago and it seemed the more I mentioned their name the more I realized they had fans in places that you would never expect. Nonetheless [...]
I cannot express to you how unbelievably excited I was to hear back in January that The Weakerthans were releasing a live album/concert film. Undeniably one of the best concerts I've ever been to was The Weakerthans with Lowest of the Low and Billy Bragg (unrelenting energy from each and every act), so I can attest, this is sure to be awesome! The CD/DVD will be called Live at the Burton Cummings Theatre and is set to be released March 23 via Anti- Records . It will offer "a jubilant [...]
The gorilla is out of its cage! For those of you who were wondering where Zoe has been lately, and have not yet caught on to what's happening, Zoe is dropping 28 mixtapes this month! That's right, a new mixtape every day! It's been a pleasure watching him record many of these tracks on Ustream, then hearing the finished product. I've decided to only post the good tracks rather than the full mixtapes, but turns out almost every track been dope! I told you they were coming, Logan! Gorilla Zoe - Look Like Money [...]
I gotta be honest, I go to a lot of shows. Anyone who pays any attention to the calendar page of the site knows that. An unfortunate side-effect of that is that I've become slightly desensitized to the excitement of seeing a concert, so I'm rarely genuinely excited about seeing a show. This past Friday's Todd Snider show at Skipper's , however, was one of those rare occasions. Todd Snider brought his brand of politically charged jingle-jangle with a little folksoulcountry wit to Tampa for a sit down show at the always amicable [...]
Killa Cam'ron was never known to relate to the common man and most of the time just raps about himself. Yet somehow last year he did the opposite and gave us a great song that I will consider 2009's best song. Cam'ron - I Hate My Job / NEW Uploaded by PeteRock . - Watch more music videos, in HD! In the midst of America's recession, Cam'ron rhymes a picture that everyone can relate [...]
Why would Trevor Strnad punch this kid in the face? That's the only thing I can keep asking myself after viewing the below video, which The PRP posted last night: I mean, it doesn't seem like the kid did anything that warrants a punch, other than touch Strnad. But Strnad's the lead singer of a metal [...]
Tim "Sole " Holland-an early member of the hip-hop collective anticon-announced today he is leaving after 11 years. Def Jux's El-P announced similar news last week. The artist-run label was founded in 1998 by a group of collaborators, including pedestrian, jel, doseone and alias. Odd Nosdam and WHY? soon followed. "I will continue to work with many of the [anticon.] artists and will always love them as brothers and consider them allies," the MC said in a statement. "This is a decision to change the way my music will be exploited and adapt to [...]
The simple truths, moments when reflection during a key event can spring a new way, a profound epiphany, and give birth to hidden wisdom can come when one least expects it. Consider the end of a war, and what happens to the soldiers who may still be fighting in a particular battle, during a specific campaign, neither knowing nor caring about war's end. Well, that is exactly what happens in a film about the closing moments of World War II as a group of Japanese soldiers, during a campaign on Burma, fighting [...]
Blogger and Google have finally struck down upon music blogs. So far they deleted my friend Chris's blog It's A Rap , along with PopTartsSuckToasted , and Livingears (newly started at livingears.com ). When google gets complaints from the big labels and legal companies, they always take action. It started with deleting posts that got complaints, and that is why I moved to wordpress in the winter of 2008. I had a feeling that soon it wouldn't just be posts, but it would gradually move on to the entire blogs themselves. Without warning, [...]
Ed Sheeran is one of the music industries best kept secrets, why one of the major labels has not put a large advance in his hand and sent him to a studio I have no idea. His music is clever, witty sometimes way beyond his years. Last week he opened a show featuring Iglu & Hartley/New Politics at Norwich Art Centre, the place was half full when Ed started but by the end of his set it was packed. There are many reasons why Ed holds a crowd. [...]
"For as long as you live, pray to God you never know the feeling of having to kiss your mama goodbye in a court room while police take you away to prison.

Today, February 9, a date he has alluded to in his music, Dwayne [...]
As a DJ who spins at a lot of different clubs, I tend to evaluate the establishment based on their sound and equipment. I never understand why a club would have a sub-par mixer, which is essential to a DJ's performance. Some clubs have out-of-date, clunky, s**ty mixers, while others have the latest and greatest. In an effort to help some club owners art, I have news on Rane's new club mixer, The Sixty-Eight. It's dope, and if I had a club I would stock this bad boy... Check out the features:
Leap Anywhere founder, Malcolm Scovils , grew a moustache to raise money for Prostate Cancer research.

Drake to be "Away From Home" this April
After wrapping up the "Young Money Presents: America's Most Wanted Music Festival" tour and taking part in highly censored but nonetheless roof-burning performance at the Grammys, Drake is ready to check off another item on the superstar checklist: his first solo tour , which kicks off in April. "The Away From Home Tour" officially begins on April 6th in Charleston, IL and powers through the next month with nearly a show a day until the tour wraps up on May 8th in Plymouth, NH.

Mike Judge has to be a metal fan
Sure, he created everybody's favorite metalhead duo, Beavis and Butthead. But after watching director Mike Judge's new movie, Extract, I am convinced that Mike Judge appreciates a good blast beat. Why do I think so? He wrote in a character that is way into underground metal. This isn't a dude who just listens to Velvet ...

Video of the Moment #218: Pixie Lott
How's this for something unusual I found on Mercury Music's Twitter? Here's a live performance by Essex pop princess Pixie Lott , covering Kings of Leon's 'Use Somebody' for the telly programme 'Dancing on Ice'. Lott is standing in the middle of an ice rink while world-famous ice skating duo Torvill and Dean are skating near her. We can only imagine what she's thinking. I'm posting this as light entertainment because we here at the American offices of TGTF have had heated (albeit humourous!) discussions about this particular [...]
