The trio continue their series of guitar-less cover versions with a second single covering Kings of Leon, Dubstar and Fleetwood Mac, and the concept hasn’t yet encountered the law of diminishing returns. The Club's pulsing bass and ecstatic keyboards cut through the priapic posturing of the original 'Sex On Fire' and make the Kings of Leon's cliches a lot more palatable - it's a thick-as-shit...

It was BBC’s Children in Need on Friday night and already it has raised over £23m for children’s charities in the UK.

There was an interesting article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about Tom Petty: Rock God Or Mere Mortal? "As Tom Petty prepares to release a career-spanning anthology next week, an attempt to determine where he falls in the music pantheon." The basic premise is that though he sold a lot of records, maybe because he was prolific with the pop hook, he just seems to lack the "cool"...

RIAA's new album of mashups and cut-ups is some of the weirdest, wackiest stuff that they've recorded in the last year or two. Spike Jones, Roger Roger, old kiddie records, and rude sound effects mix with Neutral Milk Hotel, James Blunt and the soundtracks to "Psycho" and “Eraserhead” ; '60s garage rock and Latin boogaloo collide with modern funky electro beatz. Whimsical animal...

Our friends at Babelgum are celebrating Turkey Day early this year with a hilarious clip that explains how the pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving. These pint-sized history buffs don’t sugarcoat things: smallpox-covered blankets, whiskey, and the keys to a rusted out 25-year-old pick-up truck all make guest appearances in their true-to-life reenactment. Our favorite line? “You [...]...

There have been a couple of videos that have caught my eye lately so I thought I’d give them some love since the death of Musical Television left a void for a forum on the art form.

Warren Haynes has never hid his appreciation of the music of Deep Purple, so he must’ve been as happy as a kid in a candy store last night when he sat-in with the English rockers at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam. According to a report from our friends at Here Comes The Flood, Haynes added his unique brand of sizzling guitar to the Black Night encore . Haynes had formed a friendship with...
