That’s right, cool guys TVotR are touring North America (basically the U.S., sorry Canada) off last years success Dear Science,. The tour includes a stop at the 9:30 Club here in D.C. on June 8 which will probably sell out like crazy. The band is selling presale tickets to “their fans” which you can grab… Continue reading TV On The Radio announce North America tour dates

Flashback: Tall Boys
Several years ago, I saw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs play a show in Philly. The show was great, but almost as good was the opening band, Tall Boys (aka Tallboys). Contrary to the name, the band was made up of three women and one, not particularly tall, boy. But with an absolutely crunching noise that… Continue reading Flashback: Tall Boys

From the Decemberists’ upcoming release “The Hazards of Love” is “Hazards of Love 1 (The Prettiest Whistles Won’t Wrestle the Thistles Undone).” The album is set to drop March 24, and will probably be all politically charged and full of cute and sad romance and despair.

New Yeah Yeah Yeahs: “Zero”
Well, the first single from Yeah Yeah Yeahs new album, It’s Blitz!, was supposed to have a grand unveiling later this month, but it looks like “Zero” has leaked about two weeks early. As much as I hate to do this, I’m WAY too excited about the new album to not post the incredibly low-quality… Continue reading New Yeah Yeah Yeahs: “Zero”

She’s pretty new to the game, and doesn’t have a lot of music to her name, but her first single, “Music,” shows a lot of promise. Her… Continue reading iCatching
“I Am The Real Santo Gold”
Jeweler/infomercial star/musician??/worst person of 2009 Santo Gold officially wrestled the name from super cool musician Santogold, after all kinds of a legal mess. As if making Santogold change her name to Santigold wasn’t enough, he made a terrible rap/spoken word/mess about how right he is. The best part? You can buy the song from his… Continue reading “I Am The Real Santo Gold”
