:: It looks like U2’s Bono and Tom Jones are friends. I thought the Irish hated the Welsh. But given this revelation, it seems that they just hate good music. :: Turns out that the Billboard charts don’t reflect what people listen to while online. What a shock! I never would have guessed. :: Over at Rawkblog, [...]

Bradford Cox's oversized persona threatens to overwhelm almost anything his band does. In concert, the singer-songwriter—who has Marfan syndrome and is shockingly thin—sometimes bloodies himself and otherwise makes people uncomfortable. On his group's blog, he battles music pirates an...

Another weekend comes to a close as we find ourselves sorting through various emails and sounds while having an extended glance at occasional snowflakes now dancing around the window view from our office space. Today's featured music is a perfect audio example of what seems to be pulsing through the senses while making a gentle path to our collective brain at this very moment... and the listen is absolutely...

If 1991 was the year that punk broke, 1993 was the year that Alternative took hold. Nirvana and Pearl Jam delivered follow-ups to their blockbusters, rock radio was ruled by their imitators Stone Temple Pilots, pop radio saw more guitars than it did in years thanks to R.E.M. and their followers like the Gin Blossoms. Thanks to PJ Harvey, Liz Phair, Belly, Luscious Jackson, Juliana Hatfield, and the...

Type “Wye Oak” “Yo La Tengo” into Google and you’ll get 43,600 results. As a comparison, “Wye Oak” “Ne-Yo” gets 765. There’s some good reasons for this too – Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack are a male-female duo from Baltimore playing noise-and-folk tinged indie rock of a sort that’s probably been released on an obscure American label once a week, every week since 1995. Oh, and Stack wears very sensible...

Perusing our recent friends on MySpace (did you know you can be our friend there? You can!) we discovered one of our favorite Macalester-originated bands, Dwindle, has put out some free tracks--the story is fairly typical--they recorded them at a well known recording studio years ago, they sat around, and now they are just available for free.
