Band To Watch: Mini Mansions
Posted on November 17, 2010 | 2 CommentsIf pure sound had the capability to project images on a blank wall, Mini Mansions would be worthy projectionists. On a break from Queens of the Stone Age, Michael Shuman melded heads and locked arms with longtime friends Tyler Parkford and Zach Dawes... -

The Black Heart Procession – Blood Bunny/Black Rabbit (REVIEW)
Posted on September 24, 2010 | No CommentsWhen The Black Heart Procession broke their three-year silence with last year’s critically-lauded comeback, Six, it showcased the iconic band born from the self-imposed hiatus of Three Mile Pilot returning to its roots, crafting the kind of minimalist noir ballads that made them so beloved in the first place. Returning to its core duo of Pall Jenkins and Tobias Nathaniel for the making of Six proved to be...

Pavement and Sonic Youth at the Hollywood Bowl
Posted on August 4, 2010 | No CommentsOfficially, “The Bowl welcomes the longed-for return of post-punk messiahs Pavement for an amazing show of rock royalty that also includes the iconic and experimental sounds of Sonic Youth and heirs to the lo-fi throne No Age.” Damn.

You should have known better, rude boy!
Posted on August 2, 2010 | 2 CommentsLast night I discovered that I have three very different and totally awesome versions of The Beatles’ harmonica-pop gem from A Hard Day’s Night – “I Should Have Known Better.” It should go without saying that version 1 is, of course, the original. Version 2... -

Snoop, Tribe, and Hill Added to Rock The Bells 2010
Posted on June 14, 2010 | 1 CommentLast week, Rock The Bells 2010 announced the addition of Snoop Dogg, A Tribe Called Quest, and Lauryn Hill just days before tickets were to go on sale. Pretty slick move if you ask me. But it gets better – Snoop Dogg will perform the... -
Melvins Release New Album – Stupid Name, Good Tunes
Posted on June 6, 2010 | No CommentsLet me just preface by saying it's late and I'm tired - I do dig the new Melvins track (see below) but haven't gotten my hands on a copy of the new album so I can't really say much about it, except for the name is super cheesey and I hate it. C'mon, really? The Bride Screamed Murder? Hopefully the tunes will cancel out the album name. Anyway, dig some words on the subject (my favorite of which is 'soul-crushing') that didn't come from my fingertips:

Stream The Dirty Heads “Any Port in a Storm” Out Today
Posted on April 27, 2010 | No CommentsWe like The Dirty Heads cause we think they kinda sound like Eminem if he made white-kid reggae. We also like ‘em cause we like Sublime & Sublime’s new singer Rome, and he did that one track with them that’s like the only good song...
