OFF! just released a free download from their new self-titled record; the mid-album teeth-grinder “King Kong Brigade”. They’ve also announced a US tour with the recently reunited Refused, inspiring no shortage of jealousy from my inner teenaged self.

Video: Tenacious D – “To Be The Best”
I don’t even know what to call this, a trailer? A music video? A promo? Whatever it is, its funny and seriously, who cares about Val Kilmer. Tenacious D’s new album Rize of the Fenix is scheduled to be released May 15th, and DOES seemingly have a track titled “To...
Streaming: Andy Kuncl – “In Your Arms”
Stream Andy Kuncl – “In Your Arms”: HERE As a child, Andy Kuncl would come home from boys choir rehearsals and spend hours recording three part harmonies on his boombox, teaching himself how to play Lionel Richie, Phil Collins, and Harry Connick Jr. songs on the piano, and learning all...
New Temper Trap Single – “Need Your Love” & US Tour Dates
I’ve had a crush on my friend Andrea since 4th grade, I’ve never had the huevos to make a move, and it’s kind of my one great regret in life. Tangentially, I’ve always thought she was kind of an am/fm radio music fan, which, whatever. Then one day a few...
Video: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – “Hysterical”; Confirms Spring Tour
Hysterical from CYHSY on Vimeo. I didn’t get a chance to see these guys out in Austin, but hey, a video is the next best thing right? Who knows. Either way, they’ve confirmed an upcoming U.S. tour, which is good news, because now I can go check out girls and...
SXSW 2012 Artist Spotlight – Of Monsters and Men
I’ve grown to really kinda love Of Monsters and Men’s EP Into The Woods over the last month or so, and when I saw they were playing out in Austin for SXSW, I made a mental note that I definitely didn’t want to miss this these guys. They have that...
SXSW 2012 Artist Spotlight – Tea Leaf Green
Tea Leaf Green – “Nothing Changes” If everything went to hell or even if it went exactly how it should have, Tea Leaf Green’s “country fuzz” is perfect 1am in Austin on a Friday night music. Only fitting they play the Jambase Showcase at The Tap Room At Six, Friday...
SXSW 2012 Artist Spotlight – Alabama Shakes
Someone gave me the Alabama Shakes EP some weeks ago and I immediately looked to see when they were playing nearby and was semi-surprised and reassured to see that they were playing relatively soon. Little did I know that that EP would catch as much word-of-mouth fire and everyone I...
SXSW 2012 Artist Spotlight – Geographer
Geographer just played a show in San Francisco this past weekend that all the white chicks were beaming about on the streets. It was adorable. I thought about checking them out but it seems now that the one downside to going to Austin for SXSW, for me, is that I...
Freeball Friday! Indian Food at 3am Was A Bad Idea
Grimes – “Oblivion” I’m smitten. I have the biggest crush on this Grimes chick right now. Doesn’t she look like she has way more fun than that cloning experiment gone wrong Lana Del Rey? Ben you can have your Fiona Apple, I want to date the Grimes chick so hard...
New Tracks and Tour Dates From Titus Andronicus
From WFMU last night, Titus Andronicus premiered, or just played, a couple singles from their upcoming album. The songs are titled “Upon Viewing Oregon’s Landscape With The Flood Of Detritus” and “My Eating Disorder” (with help from Ted Leo). Honestly, not the most charming introduction to the world. If this...
Freeball Friday! Earballs Still Ringin’
Islands – “Hallways” Damn, thanks to Kaptain Carbon’s review of Islands on Pinpoint, I spent a great deal of time getting into this band this week. This is probably the swinginest song on the album, and you know what, the most endearing skeletons I’ve ever seen. So there. Hunx (of...
