Last night's softball game was ridiculous. Los Nuevos Expos had our entire roster in attendence; nobody was injured or on vacation. In a very closely-contested match against a worthy opponent, we rallied late and held on for a clutch victory. In our last turn at-bat, we were down three runs. I came up with no one out and a runner on first, and reached safely on an infield single. After a walk, the next batter Andrew hit an inside-the-park grand slam to put us up by one run. Later in the inning (with two outs), James hit a mammoth home [...]
The previously announced charity auction for Deftones bassist Chi Cheng went live earlier in the week. Chi has been in a semi-conscious state since being involved in a horrific accident in November 2008, and his family has accumulated an overwhelming amount of medical bills that insurance does not entirely cover. It is Deftones' mission to raise si... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com

Indie licensing agency Merlin, which represents almost 10% of the global music market, has reached an agreement with MySpace Music on behalf of its labels. The deal covers both streaming and purchase; and will be extended to indies that are not members of Merlin. Some Merlin members we're outraged last year when MySpace spun off MySpace Music into a separate entity giving the four major label groups equity and control; and leaving independents locked out of the boardroom. Details of the new deal are not public, but it does include non-voting indie representatives at some MySpace board meetings. [...]

Sebastian Mlynarski When I rounded up all the bits of information around Holly Miranda's solo project back in January , I had no notion that interest in it would eclipse that given to her main band, The Jealous Girlfriends . But her more atmospheric approach is certainly more in line with what people expect/want to hear wafting out of Brooklyn these days and it has apparently tickled more ears than the Girlfriends' heaver, more guitar-driven rock did. So while the Girlfriends take a deserved break, Miranda has been busy - [...]

Oh I do like this. Classic folky pop - with strings attached! Really distinctive vocals too. The dog very nearly steals the show but the song and performance just about edge it on points. Ironville - Roses mp3 Ironville's debut album, Welcome To Ironville , is released on the band's own label next month. See their MySpace for details.

words & photos by Erez Avissar MNDR (aka Amanda Warner) opened the Brooklyn show at Monster Island on Wednesday night (11/18). Shouting, singing and rapping over techno-centric beats, she showed respect to tour-mate Juiceboxxx as well as a strong influence by him. She fared better than her mentor though, who played a super-brief, possibly truncated, set of less than 20 minutes. Opening with his most well-known tune/statement of intent, "Thunder [...]

So I'm going to see Bruce Springsteen tonight for the 1st time ever. I'm not a BOSS super-fan by any means, but I am hoping this show will propel me face first into his catalogue. I've already been enjoying quite a bit of it leading up to tonight's show, specifically Darnkess on the Edge of Town . A lot of people speak of his live shows as if it's a pivotal moment in their musical life (like going to mecca or something), so i guess we will just have to see. I'm trying not to expect a ton and [...]
There's something about Cincinnati that the members of Phish must love as they keep on coming back to the city for two-night stands. For an example of how good Cincy Phish fans have it, consider that The Queen City has gotten a total of seven Phish shows since Fall '99. During that same span, the only show in the Cleveland area was in Cuyahoga Falls on September 18, 2000. Quite the disparity when you consider Cleveland is the bigger city.
