The one-man band got by with a little help from his friends

Apparently Adele is busy with a lot of meetings and has not yet put the bulk of the effort into her highly-anticipated third album. She said at the Grammy Awards: "I’m not very far along at all… I’m having lots of meetings...

By Matt Jones January 30, 2013 Remote, cavernous places have always attracted soul-searchers and Cardiff’s The Globe is no exception. Established in a residential area in 2009 for the purpose of paying tribute to the music of the past (often quite literally), The Globe is a gentrified grotto for grown-ups. In an apparent effort to thwart the constant threat of noise complaints (which led to the closure of similar venue The Point early 2009), it appears that The Globe has both re-branded and re-plastered [...]
Take a look at Monday's top pop-culture headlines.

photos and words by Alex Crick It's exactly 505 miles from the KEXP studios to the heart of downtown Boise and that's exactly how far I traveled to catch the inaugural year of Treefort Music Fest . Featuring 138 bands from the Northwest and beyond Treefort Fest bills itself as a new and emerging artist festival, which it was in every way.

Selecting some of the most promising music from the 21 and younger crowd from the PNW, 12 bands are judged on a set of live music at Seattle’s EMP. The 12 bands are split into three semi-final rounds where they compete for the [...]

Kelli Schaefer ::: photo by Dylan Priest Having fallen deep down a used-vinyl sized hole this year, I managed to completely miss most of the national blog buzz bands and mp3s making the press release copy&paste rounds of 2011, those things that so often fill end of the year lists.

He's back. Henry Rollins , that is. Always ready to read a good book, the former Black Flag frontman will take the world in his hands - somewhat literally - when he hits the road next month for a Costco shopping cart's worth of spoken word dates.

He's like the disease you always wanted. Check out the whole [...]

Acid...check, jazzy pianos keys...check, playful vocals...check, sustained house strings...check! Interested to see what this starts to make on discogs, presumably the idea with the limited run!

The Atlantic put together a handy reference guide of rude gestures to carry with you wherever you go . It was adapted from Romana Lefevre’s Rude Hand Gestures of the World . Anything that helps travelers better throw down with the locals is fine by me. Here's "Tacano" over on the right. In Mexico and parts of South America, the gesture above means "you're stingy." In many parts South of the border, the elbow is linked to stinginess. For extra emphasis, you can bang your elbow on [...]
