Of Montreal – Paralytic Stalks
It must be difficult to always have one album be compared against an entire body of work. In 2007, Of Montreal broke out of their relative and mild obscurity with Hissing Fauna Are the Destroyer? Part of the album’s success rests in lead singer Kevin Barnes using the record as...
Freeball Friday! No Underwear In Public
SBTRKT – “Hold On” SBTRKTGet More: SBTRKT, MTV Hive Off the debut album from SBTRKT, “Hold On” isn’t exactly a new song, but it’s kinda cool and sad, and the video is super frustrating. Which I like. Regina Spektor – “All The Rowboats” This video doesn’t need to exist. I...
Bonnaroo Announces 2012 Comedy Lineup
Although it’s 100% my own fault, it was pretty difficult for me to find time for comedy while at SXSW, but it is not for a lack of desire. Thankfully, festivals like Bonnaroo, now in conjunction with Comedy Central, are still holding it down with the quality comedy, bringing big...

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...

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...
The Hunger Games – Songs from District 12 and Beyond
Let me preface this by saying I am a fan of Hunger Games. I was that girl with her nose in a book while walking to the bus stop. I’ve read the entire series and have probably spent way too much time talking about the cast choices for what has...
