Thanks to Zack Snyder, the term "sucker punch" will forever recall images of scantily-clad female inmates, fighting to their death in slow motion via over-the-top sequences. Bullshit movie aside, Brooklyn singer-songwriter Jonathan Coulton offers a different look on the title with his late '90s-esque single, "Sucker Punch", off his forthcoming LP, Artificial Heart . Over chummy, distorted chords, Coulton channels a little Elvis Costello and a dose of Jim Adkins (of Jimmy Eat World). "I can see the bottom and the bottom's okay," he preaches. If only more people were that content. Anyhow, check [...]

California folk rocker Jonathan Wilson released his second lp Gentle Spirit on Bella Union a while back and a couple of days ago he released the video for the track three on the album; "Desert Raven".

Huey Lewis famously once said, "it's hip to be square". Culture, as is often the case, has gone full circle - being a geek is now cool as hell. Whether you like them or not, hipsters exhibit many of the hallmarks of nerds: thick glasses, bizarre fashion, and virtually unheard of bands that have legions of the scarf wearing weirdos. Similarly, computer programming, video game development, and blogging (hi!) are not only viable career choices, but enviable ones. Jonathan Coulton has been championing the way of the geek since his 2003 album "Smoking Monkey". Spurned on by [...]
Sunbears !, the Jacksonville duo of Jonathan Berlin & Jared Bowser, are to here to bring some sunlight to your possible mundane day. “Give Love A Try” is just as joyous and upbeat as the title implies. They have appeared on Yo Gabba Gabba! and were praised by Wayne Coyne. Pretty good stuff, eh? Sunbears ! - “Give Love A Try”

With six foot long posters in tow, They Might Be Giants have been touring North America in support of their newest album, "Join Us".

2011 has been a banner year for Hollywood Undead . The band's sophomore release, American Tragedy , entered the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart at number 4 this past spring and has sold almost a quarter of a million albums to date in the US alone. The album has spawned several hits including "Hear Me Now," "Been To Hell," "Coming Back Down," and the latest single "Bullet." American Tragedy will get a new life this fall when American Tragedy Redux [...]
Hailing from the small university town of Ann Arbor, Jonathan Visger's solo project Absofacto produces a delightful sound that reconstitutes the ghosts of indie rock's past into something vaguely infectious. If one were a lazy music critic and decided to use that "if (blank), (blank), and (blank) were put in a blender/sat next to each [...]

Over the weekend, Lady Gaga hit up Jonathan Ross' month-old ITV show in the UK called — wait for it — The Jonathan Ross Show. Mother Monster has been painting Londontown green since she touched down on British soil, and when she walked onto Ross' set, she brought him the gift of a male sheep. (All part of her barn-themed "You And I" performance, you see.) Watch Gaga chat with the British comedian/talk show host below. During their conversation, Lady Gaga talked about her pet peeves when [...]

Lady Gaga sat down with Jonathan Ross for the second time (watch the first here) for a chat and performance of You and I. This time, she brought the whole farm - including Kevin the sheep, whom i'd personally like to meet and give a big hug to. Gaga designed the set for the interview + performance - nice job girl! She's really captivating during interviews, don't you think? INTERVIEW YOU AND I (LIVE)
Uitverkocht: Nijmegen, Amsterdam, Utrecht en Den Haag. Tja, ik was gewoon te sloom met het kopen van een kaartje voor Jonathan Jeremiah. Ik had even niet in de gaten dat hij zo populair is. Oké, ik had het hypergevoelige liedje...
I was first familiarized with Jonathan Wilson earlier this year as the producer of California folk rock band Dawes, and he released his second solo lp Gentle Spirit on Bella Union a short while ago. Gentle Spirit is a rather impressive work, deserving of far more attention than it's been given. A couple of days ago Wilson unveiled the video for the quiet "Canyon In The Rain", or rather for a shorted version of the track - the album version is almost six and a half minutes while the video is only slightly longer than three. [...]
Jonathan Johansson 's new video for the single "Stockholm" . Look for his new album "Klagomuren" to be released on October 31 via Hybris .
Jonathan Wilson’s songs are beautifully subdued, perfect for this rainy day. He’s got a classic rock (Neil Young?) feel to him. Difficult not to like. Jonathan Wilson - “Rolling Universe” Jonathan Wilson - “Desert Raven” — Basil
Upon seeing Texas rockers Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights play Mississippi Studios last Thursday, I can't get the thought out of my mind: how much should what we know about an artist affect how we perceive his music? Take Amy Winehouse , for example. Although I can't deny that "You Know I'm No Good" and "Rehab" are catchy tunes, hearing them on the radio used to always conjure up paparazzi depictions in my head of the woman post-altercation or marching around disoriented in her bra with a liquor bottle in hand. The [...]
