It is getting to be that time of year again. Award shows will recycle and Ryan Seacrest (the most famousest of hobbits) is restocking his supply of root lifter in preparation for red carpet coverage. Vampires dominated the ballots as "Twilight" and "True Blood" reigned supreme. The cast of Twilight were also named in different categories highlighting Taylor Lautner as a contender for Break Out Star of the Year.

Little Boxes Se não foi a ideia mais original que surgiu nos últimos tempos no que diz respeito a bandas sonoras de séries televisivas, andou muito perto... Começa-se com a grande Melvina Reynolds e depois segue-se um rol de nomes que mais variado era impossível mas eu... Não Digo Nada :) Side A 01 - Melvina Reynolds 02 - Death Cab For Cutie 03 - Engelbert Humperdinck 04 - Kate & Anna McGarridge 05 - Cherles Barnett 06 - Aidan Hawken 07 - Ozomatli 08 - The Submarines [...]

MUST-SEE SHOW: 11/23 Jay Reatard @ Brillobox This is worth going to if only to see what all the fuss is about. I've been reading about this guy nonstop over the past couple years, but for some reason, I thought he was a teenager. Turns out he's 29. A few weeks ago he tweeted that his entire band quit on him. Hopefully they'll have their shit together by the time the Brillobox show rolls around. ALSO WORTH ATTENDING: 11/4 OK Go @ Mr. Small's [...]

Friday Five : \ˈfrī-(ˌ)dā,-dē ˈfīv\ : On the sixth day of every week I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes and share my five and drop a little knowledge and insight for each track.

Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five : Nirvana [...]
Every time Dave Matthews and his band or Tim Reynolds or whomever has come to Ireland, I've gone to see them. So there's no doubt I'll be going to see Dave Matthews Band playing the O2 on March 9th 2010. Tickets go on sale this Friday. Not sure of a price yet though. Watch 'Satellite' at the Point, the last time DMB came to town:
Dave Matthews Band just announced that Dave with be with Tim Reynolds for three acoustic shows in Las Vegas this December. We are pleased to announce An Acoustic Weekend with Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds at the Theatre for the Performing Arts at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV this December 10, 11 and 12 at 8:30 pm. I still think that Live at Luther College release is a monster. Related posts: [...]
This has been noted before, but Dave Matthews fans are a funny bunch. Funny, but dedicated. Upon arriving at the Verizon Wireless Ampitheater parking lot, I traipsed by several tail-gaters blaring...

MUSIC NEWS- Today, Farm Aid praised family farmers for their ingenuity and perseverance at the 2009 sold-out benefit concert that took place at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater just outside St Louis, MO in Maryland Heights. Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson (photographed at left, introducing the show), Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews , joined by artists performing at Farm Aid 2009 Presented by Horizon Organic , held up the innovation and commitment of family farmers in [...]
There are plenty of live albums issued solely as afterthoughts or contract fulfillments, but there are plenty that are as transcendent as the best in-person concert experiences, only with zero lines at the bathroom. For this particular list we came up with the following criteria: • Only one album per artist. • Albums were been performed live in front of an audience, but don't necessarily have to be culled from a single performance. • No EPs or singles—this list is about albums • We decided to limit this list to music, which means no [...]

Despite statements on her Twitter page that she was dropping out of the anti-piracy debate, Lilly Allen did attend a meeting of the Featured Artists Coalition yesterday in London. Allen is not a member of the group, but her speech drew cheers from the audience of artists, many of whom then signed a statement of support. VOTE: DO YOU SUPPORT FAC'S ANTI-P2P PLAN? FAC's artists members are advocating for a less stringent [...]

Apparently a record label's 14th birthday is kind of like a Quinceañera for a Hispanic girl. Which means Suburban Home is finally becoming a woman. Or at least that's the best I can figure. Either way, they're celebrating by giving away a free album digitally to everyone on the planet. Even the aliens, like Lindsay Lohan and Burt Reynolds. The only negative is that they decided to do this too early to have the new album from our boys Look Mexico available. The Takers [...]

Some have questioned whether Disney overpaid when it bought Marvel Entertainment for $4 million. After all, its best known Marvel Comics superhero franchises are parked at other studios, and Universal's Islands of Adventure is as dominated by Marvel attractions as it is Dr. Seuss. But one thing to remember about Marvel assets is, they don't seem to wear out. We're about to see the second example where successful Marvel movie franchises are going to be reinvented. 20th Century Fox is the latest studio to start the process of overhauling one of its big Marvel Entertainment franchises, [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News A boisterous and chatty Dave Matthews took to his Saturday night headlining set at San Francisco's Outside Lands with his band, augmented by long-time compatriot Tim Reynolds on guitar and newest member Jeff Coffin (previously of Bela Fleck's Flecktones) on sax. He came armed with his arsenal of hits along with new artillery such as 'Why I Am' and 'Shake Me Like a Monkey.' Matthews seemed to be in a jolly mood as he tore through crowd-pleasers like 'Ants [...]
( Prologo ) Considerazioni preliminari: La pura esistenza di questo film così com'è adesso è un atto di schadenfreude talmente potente che, in un altro momento, avremmo visto le fiamme inghiottire la 20th Century Fox e ardere nella notte come pozzi di catrame all'inferno. Considerazioni preliminari /2: Se Wolverine fosse uscito prima di Hot Fuzz, di sicuro in Hot Fuzz ci sarebbe stata una scena in cui Nick Frost chiedeva a Simon Pegg "have you ever held a dead body in your arms and [...]

I'm trying to solve a mystery. A mystery involving 80s Italodisco and underground gay cinema. Which is the best kind of mystery, of course. Italians Do It Better, which is my favorite label at the moment, just put out a new 123: "Robots are Un-American" by Solange. They described in their store as: While digging for rare italo disco vinyls in the archives of a now defunct radio station, a friend of Bottin's found this reel dated 1984. All we could find on the internet are traces of [...]
