Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars Consisting of three ladies each established in their own field of the music industry, Seeker Lover Keeper fundamentally sounds like a good idea. Sarah Blasko, Holly Throsby and Sally Seltmann are currently some of the biggest Australian songwriters, previously writing songs for artists like Fiest , and touring with Lykke Li , The Tallest Man on Earth , Broken Social Scene and more. However, it takes more than apt songwriting and [...]

Run Dan Run started as a recording project between two friends in 2006 and has progressed into a full fledged indie rock band through the past few years. Heavy hints of Broken Social Scene can be heard in the band's sound, especially in tracks like "Lovesick Animal" where simple progressions suddenly segways into an ensemble [...]

Welcome to the end of the year. A time for reflection, for resolutions, for binge drinking, and for me telling you what was good in the TBE hood! Kicking things off are my 15 favorite covers spanning all genres and damn near all instruments. Guys! Girls! Guys singing girls' songs! Girls singing guys' songs! It's mayhem! Strap in, rock on, and let me know if I missed your favorite cover of the year. 15. ♫ Jimmy Cliff - Ruby Soho (Rancid cover) / Reggae legend + Punk legends = Legendary. 14. ♫ Sondre [...]
Almost none of us are at work this week, so almost none of us are getting fired. And with the holidays coming to an end, we don't have to keep the good-cheer veneer up for much longer. So: Time to wade into some of the past year's sickest shit! When she wrote her list last year, departed Stereogum comrade Jessica wrote that 20092s NSFW clips trended away from joyous, vaguely innocent sexploits toward darker, more disturbing fare. 2011 continues that progression in a more extreme and possibly more unwanted direction: Away from sex entirely, toward [...]

Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive , The Hit List YouTube The "M" in MTV may not stand for "music" any more, but that doesn't mean music videos are dead. In fact, in these hyper-connected social media times it's more important than ever for an artist to have a good video.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011 2011 has been a great year for music, and I've enjoyed so much of what it had to offer. However, along with the new music I enjoyed, I also discovered a lot of music that I totally stupidly slept on. Whether it was the artist or just the song, apparently I just wasn't paying attention at the time. So here follows that top ten songs (in no particular order) that I've been jamming on this year, that did not come out this year. - [...]

For fans of any of the bands he's collaborated with, or those inclined toward stringed indie pop gentlemen like [...]

BAM! Bet you were expecting a Best of 2011 list, yeah? Well I don't got time for that (YET)! No...this is where I acknowledge all the great stuff I missed in 2010. 'Cause it doesn't get any more rock n roll than to talk about shit that's over a year old. Write that down in your How to Be Rock N Roll notebooks. Anyway, the last time I wrote this list , I spent quite a while talking about how there isn't enough time in one year to listen to all the potentially great releases and put [...]
