Backstage and onstage at Rock the Bells. It was pretty surreal to be on the same stage with Wu-Tang in front of 35,000 people. More on flickr and BV.

I completely missed shoegaze, ten going on eleven at the time when the genre was at its height and I had more important things to do and listen to. Growing up in middle of nowhere Pennsylvania and like most kids my age, grunge had the largest musical impact on me, thanks in large part […]
The trailer for Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited came out this week. The trifecta cast of Wilson, Schwartzman, and Brody portray three brothers re-forging family bonds by taking them on a train trip around India. Anderson has a way of making things funny and at the same time pulling on your heartstrings. […]
When we last checked in with The Teeth, they were busy touring the U.S. and still are today. The band won’t be back on the East Coast until early next month, where they’ll continue to play live dates.
While the band has been on the road, the acclaim has been building up for The Teeth’s […]
I don’t know how it came up in conversation but I was told by someone to check out a collection of songs from Los Angeles’ finest artists titled From L.A. with Love. The album was curated by LA promotion group and party organizer ArtDontSleep (aka Andrew Lojero) to help get the LA music scene […]

Plenty of highlights already in at YouTube from this past weekend’s Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. KEXP has a nice summary. I’m sure we’ll being hearing more from Justin when he gets back. This little treat is from Dan Deacon’s set. Crappy sound quality aside, it’s pure entertainment with Dan singing […]

It’s Friday the 13th! GET HYPE!!! Yeehaw! Ride it! This pic is for the ladies. It looks gayer than a box of puppies. No one was physically hurt in the taking of this picture, just their dignity. It’s a study on what happens when one stays up until […]
If you’re not in Chicago over the weekend for this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival and happen to be in New York City or Philadelphia tomorrow (July 14th), take a couple hours out of your day to celebrate Bastille Day by soaking up some classic French film.
Film Forum in NYC is screening the father of French […]
