Link: http://www.whitestripes.com/ Link: http://www.billboard.com/news/ white-stripes-protests-air-for ce-super-bowl-1004066018.story Popular mainstream rock band sometimes marketed as indie the White Stripes had a 'shitty version' of their song "Fell in Love With A Girl" ripped off and utilized in a Super Bowl commercial by the Air Force, a popular branch of the US military which uses jets to bomb Arab and terrorist hideouts. The White Stripes were not given 'mad bank' for the usage of their song [via commercial licensing]. It seems like they also got [...]

W. Park Richardson, M.D. – A Psychiatrist's Advice To The Worried And Depressed

MoreFeb 9, 12:55am Swan Fungus

Every once in a while, I happen upon something at the store that consumes me. At the beginning of this year, I came across a copy of Jerry Garcia's "classic" 1972 album Garcia while processing a record collection. Inside the cover I found some tri-folded pieces of old fax paper that contained a letter from a raver chick to her friend. It was a Found (URL) goldmine. You can read the contents of the letter here . To that point, working at a record store and processing collections was only a cool job in theory. [...]

Jay Malinowski – Santa Monica

MoreFeb 8, 8:32pm BowlingStone.com

Bedouin Soundclash front-man Jay Malinowski is slated to make his debut as a solo artist with a 13-song LP next Tuesday. "Bright Lights and Bruises" will be Malinowski's first musical endeavor sans Soundclash bassist, and writing partner, Eon Sinclair since the two met in University eight years ago. While Malinowski's vocals will remind of the Juno-winning indie-reggae act, the tone of the album is markedly different. Created following the dismissal of former Soundclash drummer Pat Pengelly, mounting conflict surrounding the future of the band, and the collapse of a 7-year romantic relationship, Malinowski admits the album comes [...]

U.S. Soldier Waterboards His Daughter

MoreFeb 8, 2:07pm The Sly Oyster

Noted and with only two comments: one, this is a tragic story and two, the source is the right-leaning British Daily Mail . "U.S. Army soldier Joshua Tabor has admitted to waterboarding his 4-year-old daughter because she couldn't recite the alphabet, according to police. Tabor, stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington, was arrested after being seen walking around his neighborhood wearing a military-issue Kevlar helmet and threatening to break windows. Cops went to Tabor's home and spoke with his girlfriend, who told them she found the girl hiding in a closet with bruises and scratches on her back and neck. [...]

Once again at the Milton Hardball Café on Wednesday February 3rd I had another interview right after the last one with USS but this time around the interview came from none other than Alex of illScarlett.

For those of you who don't know, Alex is the lead singer of now widely popular Canadian band illScarlett, and after the band had finished their sound check for that night, he sat down with [...]

... And we're back. Sorry for the silence on the blog the last few weeks. I was pretty consumed with campaign work for most of the latter half of January (and the beginning of February), and didn't have much in the way of free time to devote to the blog. However, now that the primaries are over, things are essentially back to normal, so hopefully the blog will be too. Anyway, here's what's going on in Chicago this week in terms of shows. Not a huge week, at least in terms of stuff I'm looking [...]

Vol. 1: Popcovers Vol. 2: Folk Covers We've wrangled a bit with the term "indie" here before, both in regards to its relationship with folk music, and as a source for coverage. Today, though, the term is merely a catch-all for coverage, loosely defined; after all, songsource being what it is, much modern music is neither folk nor fowl, neither pop nor pap, but that precious still-underground stuff which claims neither major label nor traditional affiliation. We'll have a [...]

If you missed Sunday night's Grammy Awards, you didn't miss much. In fact, if you saw the American Music Awards, you pretty much saw the Grammys: Another freak show from Lady Gaga, performers trying to out-shock each other with more glitz than talent, and more crap offered up by the Black Eyed Peas. By the time Jamie Foxx came out in an army uniform pretending to be an opera singer and auto-tuned his way through what he thought was a song, I realized I was witnessing the implosion of American popular music. Where to start? I already mentioned Ms. Gaga, [...]

In keeping with their preference The Chieftains have recently teamed up with a host of other artists, including their old partners in crime, Ry Cooder , for their first album in over six years, which is due out in March. The concept album San Patricio tells the story of the Wild Geese who deserted the US Army to the better paying Mexican Army during the American-Mexican War 1846–1848 (though most either died or were executed in 1847). Last week, a live 'media only' performance previewing this release reached the RTE studios. The public [...]
