[The New Classics is a reoccurring segment in which we examine our favorite indie releases that are bound to replace our parent's "classic rock" stash hidden in the attic or the basement. These aren't reviews, these are unedited testimonies and opinions about why we love what we love. Can we get a witness?] Words by Vicki Mayowski Album: Sea Change Artist: Beck Released: September 24, 2002 Label: Geffen Produced by: [...]
Los Angeles Times -- LOS ANGLES - The recent news that country singer Tim McGraw's record company is suing him over his latest album is just the latest of many stranger-than-fiction examples of artist-label relations going south. In 1993, the head of John Fogerty's record label sued him for sounding too much like ... John Fogerty, arguing that his single "The Old Man Down the Road" was merely a remake of Fogerty's old Creedence Clearwater Revival hit "Run Through...

In addition, the band will be playing a few select dates in the US including a show at New York City's Highline Ballroom on January 27. Full schedule is below. White Lies tour dates: [...]
This review may well be long and badly written, but "if you take a minute to hear the tunes, little words would be necessary", as stated on the bands myspace page. This is undoubtedly true in his case, but if I don't give my two cents Cougar HQ will dispatch a small (but well-trained) hit [...]

SEMI-PRECIOUS WEAPONS SEMI-PRECIOUS WEAPONS EP (Geffen Records) www.semipreciousweapons.com "I can't pay my rent, but I'm fucking gorgeous." The first line from Semi-Precious Weapons self-titled song on their self-titled EP screams out with glam-filled arrogance. In fact, Semi-Precious Weapons don't seem to have a modest bone in their bodies. It's strangely refreshing. Musicians just don't have big enough egos these days (except for Kanye West and a few other rappers), but this isn't a rap record. It's not a [...]
WEEZER RADITUDE (Geffen Records) www.weezer.com Why does the release of a new Weezer album create so much excitement? It's almost a given that any new output will never match material from The Blue Album or Pinkerton , but fans still hold out hope. They sort of wish the past decade could just be undone, and that the band will revert to a time long before people were enjoying Pork and Beans in Beverly Hills. With the release of Raditude this week, the anticipation [...]

It's been a long time since Snoop Dogg left the Priority Records camp and starting turning out smoking slabs of G-funk on Geffen/Doggystyle, but now the prodigal Dogg is headed back to his old home, with a new twist: EMI is relaunching the Priority label, with Snoop as its Creative Chairman. And what's the very first release from the re-activated Priority? You guessed it: "Gangsta Luv," the first single from Snoop's forthcoming album, Malice N Wonderland . You'll have to wait until December 8 for the full-length, but the frothy feel of "Gangsta Luv" could be bubbling [...]

His eminence, Pope Benedict XVI , has just become the latest act signed to Geffen Records. Sharing the spotlight with such acts as Lady Gaga , Snoop Dogg , and Eminem (who will most likely have something lame to say on the subject), Pope Benedict is preparing to record a religious choral album, backed by the Choir of the Philharmonic Academy of Rome. The record will include both choral work and recited religious passages, including prayers to the Virgin Mary. As much as the idea of cramming the Pope into a [...]
