I can always get behind a bashing on Damien Hirst. Recently, Morrissey interviewed his close friend and visual artist Linder Sterling for INTERVIEW magazine and the two discussed the abhorrent usage of dead animals in Hirst’s artwork. As a fellow vegetarian, I can understand what prompted Morrissey to lash out at Hirst. Damien has used [...]

I could go on a five hour tangent on how amazing Ryan Gosling is, but I’ll save that for another time. My fiance introduced me to ‘Dead Mans Bones’, a music group comprised of Gosling, Zach Shields and most of the time a childrens choir from the Silverlake Conservatory of Music. With its eerie vocals, [...]

Whatever you may think about OK Go, you have to give them credit for continuously bringing it with their music videos. I am convinced that if MTV was functioning like it did back in the 90’s, they would be one of the biggest bands in America if only in part due to their clever music [...]

You have less than 90 days to plan your heat fueled excursion into the desert to enjoy the sounds of Jay-Z, Pavement, Muse, Thom Yorke, Them Crooked Vultures, Gorillaz, Faith No More and about two hundred other bands.

The infectious acid pop/dance duo from Denmark, whose single “Around the Bend” was everywhere earlier this year thanks to the Apple commercial complex, just released their first full length,”Fruit”. The band did a few [...]

Sean Tillman introduced the magic that is Har Mar Superstar to America last night, well at least the ones up past 12AM. He performed his first single “Tall Boy” from his recently dropped album “Dark Touches” on ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’, draped in an African caftan and gold lame gloves. Oddly enough, Har [...]

Grizzly Bear, one of my favorite bands right now, had their “real” introduction to America when they stopped by ‘The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien last night. The group, whose album Veckatimest has been spending some considerable time on the Billboard charts, is thiiiisss close to becoming a full fledged household name. Last night, they [...]

In honor of Beatles day, I thought we’d go with one of their classics for song of the day. The band’s complete re-mastered catalog, a celebratory boxed set, as well as The Beatles: Rock Band, are celebrating their releases today and everyone has gotten into the spirit of things, or more accurately Beatles Mania [...]

I defy any of you dear readers to not jump out of your seats and dance like a crazy awkward white tween when you hear this song. Its by the adorable punk/noise group from Los Angeles,
