Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the signing of musical experimentalist Todd Tobias to its roster of artists. After years of producing Guided By Voices and playing in Circus Devils with Robert Pollard, Todd Tobias is striking out on his own with his debut solo album, Medicine Show, a multi-faceted instrumental opus, evoking a shadowy steampunk dystopia. Todd Tobias and older brother Tim Tobias grew up in Northeast Ohio, USA, where the two played together in a string of bands, culminating in Clouds Forming Crowns and Circus Devils (the latter with Robert Pollard).

It didn't take long for Inquisition's last effort, 2011's Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm, to jump into heavy rotation around my house once my friend recommended the record during a kvlt black metal jam session. The band has now signed Season of Mist, the same awesome label that rosters Watain, Saint Vitus, Kylesa, and ...

The 1973 oil crisis started in October 1973, when the members of Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries or the OAPEC (consisting of the Arab members of OPEC, plus Egypt, Syria and Tunisia) proclaimed an oil embargo. This was "in response to the U.S. decision to re-supply the Israeli military" during the Yom Kippur war. It lasted until March 1974. With the U.S. actions seen as initiating the oil embargo and the long term possibility of high oil prices, disrupted supply and recession, a strong rift was created within NATO. Additionally, some European nations and Japan sought to disassociate themselves [...]

Well, this is probably the weirdest fucking news I have heard in a while, but I'm kind of interested to see how things pan out. Last night, Lil Wayne (probably the only time he'll get mentioned on MI) told 98.7 KISS FM's KISSing After Dark that the New Orleans label signed Limp Bizkit. The news went ...

Soviet people were protesting and demonstrating on the regular basis but never against their own government. Well, that’s not exactly true. At least a few Soviet people tried to demonstrate and protest against their own government but in most cases were quickly swept up and ended up with lengthy prison sentences, forced psychiatric treatment or, in the best scenario, a house arrest. At the same time anti-American or anti-imperialist demonstrations were encouraged and sometimes mandatory. Moscow. [...]

Gary Carter I am so sad!  Baseball Hall of Famer Gary Carter died today following complications from a brain tumor.  I've met Gary Carter so many times and he was always a nice guy in my experiences.  Because he was in a position to help others, he decided during his playing career that he would only autograph baseball cards post-1985 (it could have been post 1984) for a $25 donation to leukemia research.  Though that decision cost me hundreds [...]

Accomplished French producer Laurent Garnier - who has been releasing music for over two decades has signed to the Ed Banger imprint. The coming-of-age for the label was the recent introduction of a varying range of releases from Trevor Jackson , Flying Lotus and Squarepusher which has complimented the normally crunching electronic sounds brought about by foundational members  Justice , SebastiAn and Mr Oizo . According to a blog post by Pedro Winters (Busy P), the concept of the signing has been gestating for [...]

Azizi Gibson - Don't Be Afraid After the BRAINFEEDER post yesterday I found this earlier today, totally coincidential though. Azizi Gibson is the newest signing to the label and made his debut with the legendary Flying Lotus at The Low End Theory just a few days ago (pictured above). Before he signed to BRAINFEEDER he was (and still is) part of the PreHISTORIC Crew, a two duo made up of Azizi Gibson and Angelo Belcher. This track was actually released a few months back under the PreHISTORIC tag [...]

Photo and autograph courtesy of the G Archives. Adele 21 Signed by Adele Congratulations to Adele for sweeping the 2012 Grammys.  I was out living my life so I didn't see any of the awards ceremony, but I will say this - I've met Adele on two occasions and she was so nice both times that it warms my heart.  I could not be happier for her and I wish her continued success!  She's so talented and worthy of all the accolades [...]

Imagine seeing a beautiful girl in a bar...lets call her Harriet .  Sure the fact that Harriet is easy on the eyes, with shimmering keys and anthemic vocals, is reason enough to go and talk to her.  She sings about sleeping with your mom , and you realize...you're starting to fall for her.  But than you discover she's writing a novel, saving whales, and finishing medical school all in the upcoming year.  Yeah, that's kind of what the rest of Harriet's debut EP Tell The Right Story is like. Each song on the EP [...]

There is no denying the true awesomeness that is Cancer Bats. Just thinking about listening to them gets the blood in the veins pumping. The band recently signed back to Metal Blade for the upcoming release of Dead Set On Living, which will be released on April 24. If you haven't heard DSOL's first single "Old ...
