The Vaselines announce “tour dates”

I understand that older bands can’t tour very much, what with the back pains and arthritis and family yadda yadda. But I’m sorely disappointed Scotland’s The Vaselines, who Kurt Cobain like worshipped, are only doing a few dates primarily on the West Coast. Seriously, they have two shows in California, one in Oregon, another in… Continue reading The Vaselines announce “tour dates”

Trent Reznor wins April Fool’s Day

Trent Reznor twitted excitedly about a “new NIN album” “out now” called Strobe Light. He said it was produced by Timbaland. Do artists still collaborate with Timbaland? I think that’s an old joke. But because of the sheer effort Reznor put into this, he wins. Check out the album deets. He even made a whole fake… Continue reading Trent Reznor wins April Fool’s Day

I’m too busy doing taxes to write a proper post

I don’t get taxes. Why we have them or how to do them or why if my address is in Pennsylvania I send my forms to Missouri (seriously, wtf). So because I’m pretty much FML right now (SO trendy to say), I’m going to post this cop out post that has songs involving taxes and… Continue reading I’m too busy doing taxes to write a proper post

About my interview with After Last Season’s Mark Region

I’ve received a lot of questions about my interview with After Last Season writer/director/producer Mark Region, so I guess I’ll do some verifying. (See the bizarre trailer here and the interview here). I found Mark Region’s phone number through a WhoIs search on the website for his production company, Index Square. Since the number was… Continue reading About my interview with After Last Season’s Mark Region

Knox Road Exclusive: Writer/Director Mark Region talks about After Last Season

Since the trailer for After Last Season came out and confused the hell out of pretty much the entire world, people have been debating the legitimacy of the movie. Well, you heard it here first: After Last Season is real. I spoke with writer/director/producer Mark Region about the movie earlier today, and his flustered and… Continue reading Knox Road Exclusive: Writer/Director Mark Region talks about After Last Season

Röyksopp’s Junior makes me wish I could dance…

Because all the best electronica comes from Norway (??) it should be no surprise that Röyksopp’s latest album, Junior, is a tour de electronica, whatever that means, if it even makes sense. From the band’s Myspace: After spending the last year or so in the kitchen, we’re now ready to serve. The menu should provide a… Continue reading Röyksopp’s Junior makes me wish I could dance…

Santigold announces sweet North American tour

Poppin’ indie diva Santogold Santigold Santogold (the “o” is what I know) just announced a ballin’ new tour that will include dancers and a full band and probably like confetti and a t-shirt cannon and maybe even a t-shirt canon. I won’t bore you with details, I know you want… Santigold – “Lights Out” [MP3] Santigold… Continue reading Santigold announces sweet North American tour
