Here’s a novel idea, The Fiery Furnaces have decided to cover themselves. Kind of weird huh? So, the next question is “what are they covering?” No, it’s not Blueberry Boat , settle down, it’s a re-imagining of their last album I’m Going Away . The cover album ...

You know how sometimes you’ll play games with people where they throw out an idea or a word at you and you have to say the first thing that comes to mind? Well I think that if someone ever said, “favorite beat” I would say Ginuwine’s (or Timbaland’s because he ...

Someone dusted off the Muppets in between their next movie and/or commercial work to make this ode to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It’s really amusing and probably goes to show that this song will never die. People are going to love it forever.

The Pixies were the musical guest on Fallon last night and they played two songs. The first was picked by the producers ("Debaser") and the second was voted in by their fans on twitter ("Hey"). This one goes out to the fans.

On October 20th of this year, Yo La Tengo came to my fair city of Portland to play a show in support of their stellar ‘09 release Popular Songs . It was a fantastic set whose sounds ranged from dynamic to tender to ear splitting depending on the moment and I loved it. I ended up writing a ...

It was only appropriate.
As the sound guy for Wolfmother prepped the instruments for their show on Thursday night, he made a stop at the organs and suddenly launched into the infamous chords from Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water.” The crowd cheered wildly and the guy beamed ...

During an interview with BBC6 Music, Jim James discussed what the future looks like for My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk . Spoiler Alert: MMJ is slowly working a few tracks but minus any real pressure and MoF will probably do another album someday. You can read the interview blurbs ...

Sooner or later, Panda Bear is going to make a follow up to Person Pitch and Pitchfork is going to pass out from a cluster bomb of nerve firings. But since that day hasn’t come upon us or them yet, what have now is a piece from Pitchfork where Panda Bear talks about what’s coming ...

Hey Radiohead fans, I’ve got two things for you. The first is some links to two of the mixtapes that Thom Yorke has been posting on Dead Air Space . Feel free to squeal with excitement and if you like them, throw a “thanks Josh” in the comments section because he tracked these ...

Yesterday, it was the live version and today it’s the official version of Fever Ray’s haunting “Keep The Streets Empty For Me.” It reminds me of the book The Road and it’s pretty bleak. But watch it anyway, it’s good.

Up To No Good is a dynamic but startlingly cohesive EP, especially considering the wide range of sounds emanating from the arsenal of synthesizers and samplers permeating the mix. Underneath it all, the low end swaggers confidently while keyboards and guitars dart and swirl around it like an ...

Let’s pretend you are sitting at your friend’s house. Everyone is happy and having a good time and then out of nowhere, your friend starts to read from their diary. And what you hear is intense, and personal, and messy, and you feel torn between your desire to stop them and an undeniable ...

Watch Fever Ray cut the lights on a NYC audience so she can perform “Keep The Streets Empty For Me” below a set of green lasers. It’s a perfect balance of eerie and powerful. It’s also one of my favorite new songs.

A couple of weeks ago, I told you about an upcoming episode of American Dad where My Morning Jacket would play a key role. Well it aired last night and Hulu has it up for you to watch. Enjoy.

The last couple of years have had us yelling “the Swedes are coming!” but by now, I think we are all pretty comfortable with the fact that the Swedish popsters and electro nuts seem like they’re here to stay. Lykke Li came to us in that initial rush and I thought you ...

Apparently, Solange has always had a taste for the underground. Here’s her (live) rendition of Bjork’s “It’s Oh So Quiet.” And because it would be a crime to not post the fantastic Spike Jonze directed clip for the original, that is here as well.

Facile flows and labyrinthine lyrics mask basic (and banal) beats. Gift of Gab explores his quirks, dusting around the corners of his brain left untouched by his Blackalicious discography. Sometimes his digging unearths gems like “Dreamin” and the cheeky “El Gifto Magnifico.” Too often, though, ...

In terms of early ‘70s rock, I’ve got not a clue as to what a Jeepster of Love would be. But when Marc Bolan sang of being one to his girl, the definition didn’t matter.
Because Bolan was one sexy piece of glam. And the music he created on Electric Warrior , the sixth album for T. Rex , ...

J. Tillman took the stage at the Middle East Upstairs for a late show on Sunday night. But then again, it was only 8pm in Seattle, the west-coast town that this drummer from Fleet Foxes calls home.
The performance was a family affair, with J. Tillman’s brother Zach opening as a solo act ...

Spoon has a new album coming out soon ( Transference ) and they’ve already started plotting out a path to support it. Here are the first tour dates of the tour and if you don’t see your city on the list I’m sure you’ll get hit on the second announce. No band only plays ...
