Longwave frontman Steve Schiltz took some time off from his main band to form a solo project called Hurricane Bells, and next thing you know, he wound up on the New Moon soundtrack. Steve Schiltz considers himself kind of lucky. In fact, he considers himself very lucky. For years, Schiltz has been the frontman for the long-standing New York-based rock group Longwave, whose pop-oriented guitar attack has always generated some incredible music, but not necessarily the sales that RCA Records was hoping for in the beginning. After taking a break by serving as ax man for Albert [...]

We told you James Murphy was scoring (and cameoing) in Noah Baumbach's Greenburg , which also stars Ben Stiller and Rhys Ifans, when not finalizing LCD Soundsystem's anticipated , ostensibly slower, more rock-inclusive, and definitely vlogged about third album .

Take a look. Continue reading James Murphy [...]
Previously, we alerted you to the awe-inspiring, genre-mashing partnership of one Mr. James Murphy and one Noah Baumbach, in which Murphy was to write several solo tracks for the director's forthcoming film, Greenberg , starring a surprisingly subdued Ben Stiller. Now, we are pleased to share the tracklisting for the movie's soundtrack, which includes 11 solo tracks from the LCD Soundsystem frontman, along with tunes from some other snazzy musicians. Ben Stiller's fight against midlife mediocrity will be accompanied by the following... 01 The Steve Miller Band [...]

For about the 15th time in the last four years, the Strokes are back in the studio recording their fourth LP. It's apparently for real this time, since the band has committed itself to headlining some European festivals this summer (Isle of Wight and Rockness) and are promising some videos from the studio soon. In the time since their last album, 2006's First Impressions of Earth , every member but Nick Valensi has done work with other bands ranging from solid (Fab Moretti's Little Joy, Julian Casblancas' solo material), meh (Albert Hammond) [...]

This gimmick was apparently some 'high priced' commissioned photos for some AZN/Chinese fashion label called Me & City . The Chinese brand hired them + Glorified Alt Photographer bro Terry Richardson to create a shoot that 'got a lot of blog buzz' for the brand. Wonder if they were paid 'millions' to be the face of the brand. Seems like the 'concept' is being a Hollywood/domesticated couple, [...]

For the second part of my journey back to 1975, when I was nine years old, I dug out an old Arcade sampler of that year. A number of songs featured here were included on that album: I'm On Fire, Down By The River, Moviestar and New York Groove. Some other songs might well have featured here as well, such as Glenn Campbell's Rhinestone Cowboy, Typically Tropical's Barbados, Chris Spedding's Motor Bikin', or Billy Swan's Don't Be Cruel. * * * Van McCoy - The Hustle.mp3 [...]

I realize I am putting this out really late. I always put this off until winter break, thinking I'll have tons of time to listen to the albums, but always underestimate how much I actually need to listen to. But honestly, that isn't a bad thing. I think we are living in a time where there is a lot more new and interesting stuff coming out than ever before. Last year, I probably listened to about 75 albums for my top albums article. Some of them only half way through (because I could tell they wouldn't make the cut) and [...]
