The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing had been enjoying some success with their Now That's What I Call Steampunk album. Enough success, indeed, to bring down the ire of EMI upon their behatted heads. As Steampunk Chronicle, erm, chronicles it: It seems that EMI records have taken offense with Now That's What I Call Steampunk, Vol.1, the 2010 release by British steamrockers The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing. EMI has copyright on the name "Now That's What I Call Music" and has also released other compilations under the [...]

'AJA' is the second in a trilogy of releases from Toronto art rock quartet The Darcys. Taking a song-for-song reinterpretation of the classic 1977 Steely Dan record, The Darcys have done a lot to modernized the sound of the originals, but may have dated themselves in the process. Read more »

It's been a while since we've heard from our friends Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman, the Swedish duo behind my favorite track of 2011 'Reach For Me' and who more recently put an amazing twist on the popular Coldplay track 'the Scientist'.

Holy Grail Alert! 'The most famous unfinished album in rock & roll history' as Rolling Stone recently called it is finally... available.

The Smashing Pumpkins Gish & Siamese Dream [Deluxe Editions] EMI/Virgin Records [2011] (2 CD/1 DVD Sets) Fire Note Says: Two great albums and two great reissues! Album Review: To me, Gish [1991] and Siamese Dream [1993] from The Smashing Pumpkins still feel like more recent releases so even the thought of having Deluxe Editions seems odd. With that said, after playing both of these records again at max volume it hits you quickly [...]

Who really plays drums on The Beatles' Anthology version of "Please Please Me"?

This isn't really my thing; it's an Oslo thing. And it's my first time reviewing a band where I gotta tiptoe and use my indoor voice. Forthright impudence almost seems like it'd offend an entire national consciousness or institution, as revered as they are. But let's not forget- Oslo's music scene is the most comfortable place in the world. No political suffering, no industrial labor strikes, and no real equivalent to the dole. Hence, dozens of well-dressed boys running bars amuck and feeding off cultural-grant breast milk, or the titties of the finest groupies you'll ever see. No matter how [...]
