In an interesting interview with ITN News, Ed O'Brien of Radiohead suggests that bandwidth throttling (the practice of limiting the quantity of data a sever transmits and/or accepts within a specified period of time) may be a viable method to combat illegal downloading and filesharing. Radiohead made waves in the worlds of music and technology by initially releasing their last record, In Rainbows...

As the woozy North African-core, power-folk, trance-hop, whatever-the-fuck ambient outro track of “2009” seamlessly crossfades into the global-glitch, holler-hush, Christian-grind, rock-boom-bap rave-up track that is “2010,” one thing is infinitely clear: no one knows what the fuck music sounds like anymore. Seriously. It's like a goddamn Jefferson Airplane song up in here....

Filed under: News , Exclusive While 'Doolittle' was the Pixies commercial breakthrough upon its 1989 release, it still feels like an album well before its time. Of course the same could be said for the Pixies in general. But after praise from bands like Nirvana and Radiohead and a memorable 2004 reunion tour, the Pixies have found their place in the 21st century. Now 'Doolitle' is getting a second...

I was on my way to work last week, as I do everyday of every week. Howard (as in Stern) went on a commercial break so I flipped the channel. I decided to go to the metal station. Out of my speakers came a gloriously, head crushingly, face meltingly and ultimately huge sound. I looked up to my radio and saw the name Iron Age. IRON AGE!! Holy shit , you are blowing my mind! The song was called Dispossessed....

No one drops a tight show like this band, one of the best rhythm sections in rock. I knew that we would be in store for the new Spoon album any time now. Although I wish that they were still working with Jon Brion but they haven't dropped anything that...

For the record, I’m a huge Radiohead fan. But I’m not the troll from the Radiohead Sucks post that is a rad five minutes of troll baiting. In fact, I’m the guy that says something about paying money to watch acting students do a “movement piece” to Radiohead’s last album. Either way, whatever, I’m not sure [...]

As promised, here is another batch of rare covers. I believe these are definitely the best picks in recent memory.
