As a kid, how many of you ran around with a fake cape singing the Adam West-era Batman theme tune or pretended to fly while humming the theme from Superman ? Quite a few, I bet. Well, now you can all run around your apartment with the your favorite superhero theme blaring from your iPod dock, as DC Comics has announced plans to release some well-known and some not-so-well-known theme songs in a 31-track compilation album called DC's The Music Of DC Comics: 75th Anniversary Collection (via Onion AV Club [...]

More singles from the back of my sister's closet: they're almost as good as albums! First up, an all-but forgotten band from the late 1960s-early 1970s era: Seatrain . Formed from the ashes of the ill-fated Blues Project by two of that band's former members, bassist Andy Kulberg and drummer Roy Blumenfeld, Seatrain hit its stride with a self-titled album in 1970. By this second album, there had already been a shift in the lineup - it now included folkie guitarist/singer Peter Rowan. Anyway, the big hit single was "13 Questions," which just missed making into the [...]
Amongst the older musicians on Warped Tour, dissing the traveling festival's main constituency of tight-pants-wearing, hair-swooping, girly-man emo kids has kind of become like going fishing in a stocked kiddie pond; super easy but still lots of fun and irresistible. Every Time I Die's Andy Williams and Dillinger Escape Plan's Liam Wilson had plenty to [...]
Welcome to the second edition of our 'Guilty Pleasure' series. This time around we asked a few of our friends that work behind the scenes. The results are even more amazing than our last adventure down the guilty pleasure road ( click here ). Personally I'm siding with Will Smith this time around. Paul 'A Badge Of Friendship' My guilty pleasure would have to come from the 80s. Being an 80s child, the older I become I realise [...]

This is a post designed to introduce you to a healthy mix of electronica and one of the first websites I blog-rolled here about two years ago. Keytars & Violins is the name of the site, but what you'll encounter hardly resembles those instruments. It's one of the most tasteful electronica blogs out there. When I make my weekly visit I have no idea who the artists are or what I'm getting myself into. That's what I want in a music site: mystery and great taste. [...]

Talk Normal will make you sit up and pay attention. Drummer Andrya Ambro and bassist/guitarist Sarah Register have an uncanny knack for mixing melodic minimalism with dark, distorted noise to create a sound not quite no-wave and entirely their own. You could call it noise-rock, but the necessary caveat would be the amount of space the Brooklyn duo allows into their raw sound, bringing gravity and clarity to each musical choice they make. Having met in college as music production majors, it's no surprise that Register and Ambryo share a keen ear for balance that allows them to experiment on [...]

As we get ready for the final day of Hillside 2010, here are some of the highlights of the festival so far, aside from the spectacular sunset on Friday night pictured above: - On Friday night, my favourite set was from self-styled "acid folk" band Lee Harvey Osmond. Despite having looked them up online a month ago, by the time the festival rolled around I'd completely forgotten that this was Tom Wilson's new band. Lee Harvey Osmond even played a rendition of Wilson's old band's big radio hit, the Junkhouse tune "Shine," which brought me right back to [...]
