Since I’m still a Twitter hold-out I was a little behind on this, but have you heard of the twitter-feed Discographies ??

Kanye West: 1-3 "I was a good student." 4 "But after graduation, I got depressed." 5 "All I did was surf the web and listen to Meat Loaf." [...]

Listening to a little Bjrk last night while whipping up some fruit dip (as you do), I started thinking about how I used to really not like Bjrk. Really, really not. I always thought she was cool, but her music was a little too freaky for me. I wasn't quite ready for a voice as unusual as hers. Which was a long, long time ago, back when she first started appearing in the charts. I suppose that idea just got stuck in my head, which happens sometimes. Until I happened upon a version of "Human Behaviour" by Colin [...]

From classic indie rock to plain ol' classic rock, through the ever present lens of country music, they indulge [...]

Hardcore Replacements fans are notoriously, well, crazy, and director Gorman Bechard is betting that even those mildly interested in The Replacements might want to see these fans flaunt their crazy in a long-awaited documentary entitled " Color Me Obsessed ." The film "about the only band that ever mattered" makes its premiere at the Gasparilla International Film Festival in Tampa, Florida on March 26, 2011. With over 140 interviews, the film purports to be "the potentially true story of the most influential, always drunk, self-destructive, and yet frighteningly brilliant rock band of all time as told [...]
