Here is the final installment of our unscientific, should-not-be-used-for-news-an d-reporting-purposes survey results. As you probably know by now, the following answers were culled from a variety of people in the arts, music and entertainments communities. The last question we asked them was: How do you think we'll listen to music ten years from now? Our respondents' answers ranged from silly to philosophical to downright Sci-Fi! We hope you enjoy reading them. And thanks so much to everyone who took the time to participate. Douglas Wolk, writer: [...]

Friday! Quick-hit thoughts of the week! QUICK-HIT THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK! 1. Whatever Brains - Gross Urge (mp3) ( buy ) BAM! Whatever Brains ( myspace ) is a Raleigh, North Carolina band called WHATEVER BRAINS. That automatically qualifies them to be AWESOME, but this song - along with a lot of the rest of their Trim-Jeans and/or Gross Urge Plus Ten CD-R - qualifies them to be DOUBLE AWESOME. I'm more comfortable thinking of them as traditional lo-fi punk than as [...]
Story by Adam Daniels Photography by Dorothy Hong "Do you need a drink?"
"Yes, I need four double whiskeys and four PBRs." It was Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson's record release show at Williamsburg's Union Pool, and while he was among a roomful of friends, he was not at ease. Robinson's former fiancé obliged the request, assuming it was on behalf of the entire band. This was not the case. Robinson wasn't a household name in indie rock at the time. But he had a lot of the pieces in place [...]

For ramblings on how I came to compile this list go here . And for commentary on previous selections: [ #50-46 ] [ #45-41 ] [ #40-36 ] [ #35-31 ] 30. Heartbreaker - Ryan Adams (2000) The argument that most of the world's greatest art is derived from sadness is one that I've always worked hard to refute, but a guy like Ryan Adams doesn't make it easy for me to do so. It doesn't [...]
Since Carl just posted his yearly electronica report, I figured I best chime-in with my techno-suggestion for the year decade-so-far, as my exposure to this genre of music is also rather limited. Case in point: this album was released in 2002. I first heard Alpinestars ' "Carbon Kid" back when Comedy Central aired episodes of the awesome prank show, Trigger Happy TV . The song was used during a skit where people in gorilla costumes raid a grocery store, stealing all the bananas. The song features guest-vocalist Brian Molko of [...]

Click here to view the embedded video. I personally find it rather frustrating when a band member decides to launch a solo career but simply ends up sounding like the original band he/she was originally a part of. It makes me wonder: what's the point? But of course, that's the fan talking in me and we all know fans have no regard for musicians lives or feelings and only want our music tastes to be satisfied. Nevertheless, I can say I am satisfied with "Give Blood," Kyp Malone (of TV on the Radio)'s [...]
The TVOTR frontman, Kyp Malone debuted a spanking new video for his new solo effort, Rain Machine , for the guitar-driven Give Blood off his innovative debut self-titled album, but then again would you expect anything else than innovative from the bearded mastermind behind TV On The Radio? I know I wouldn't, and the day I'd be, will probably be a very sad day for music. download : Rain Machine - Give Blood

Tons of bands have been pulling rank and deciding to take a break for solo projects or to cool down the musical fire. Whether it's patient zero of TV On The Radio or even the Boss himself , something's going around. The latest victim? None other than pop-punk giants Fall Out Boy . The rumors of a break began to circulate earlier this week amidst claims that the band had hit a creative roadblock and after drummer Andy Hurley tweeted that the he and his fellow members were on a hiatus [...]

Since forming in 2007, the Monolith Music Festival has brought the likes of Spoon, The Flaming Lips, Vampire Weekend, TV on the Radio, Justice, The Mars Volta, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Phoenix to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. However, as revealed in a open letter posted on the festival's website late last night (Nov. 19), the future of Monolith is now "very grim." The letter reads, "A tough economic year and an opening day of chilling rain combined to put a serious dent in our humble operation. We have continued [...]
1 C Dirty Projectors 2 Tbsp TV On The Radio 2/3 C Ladysmith Black Mambazo Zest of Regina Spektor Combine ingredients in mixing bowl. Beat furiously, until frothy and rich. Voila: Tune-Yards! Apologies for resorting to the music critics crutch, the "this-band-sounds-like-these -bands" technique. It's a lame way of describing a sound, and it's nearly impossible to encapsulate Tune-Yards anyway. But after Tuesday night's show at The Paradise, recipes [...]
