Happy New Year! Or, more realistically, Happy First Day of the Pressure to Completely Change Your Life This Year. There are a million articles out there on the resolutions you should be trying to make—but here at idobi, we think you should abandon them altogether this year. Here’s why.
…we stole a minute of Fleisher Madden’s time to chat about what’s went into her remarkable career, her new label Animal Manufacturing Co. and the real story behind resident tour pet, Orangecat.
In this week’s Tuesday Ten, we highlight some of our very favorite artist collaborations from over the years, featuring everyone from Fall Out Boy to La Dispute.
2013 was the year of the reunion, with everyone from Fall Out Boy to Knapsack teaming back up with their old bandmates, whether it was for a one-off anniversary tour or a full-blown comeback. Still, even with all of those reunions, there are still a handful of bands left who we wish would bless us with one last tour or some new music. Here are the top ten bands we wish we could see a reunion from – no matter how impossible our dreams may be.
We got the chance to catch up with Broadway vocalist Misha Camacho before the band heads out on tour to talk about the road, their new album Gentlemen’s Brawl, and all the struggles of the past three years.

For the near sold-out crowd in Baltimore on February 19th, it was a rock show to remember. Probably one of… Read more »
Nurse Abby Lockheart has just been dumped. She is in the middle of the rather painful process of moving her stuff out of her ex-boyfriend’s apartment. And to make matters worse, Cake’s “Short Skirt/Long Jacket,” a song about the things a man is looking for in a woman, is playing on the radio. On “ER,” popular music is becoming a bigger part of the story line with every episode. “It adds something to the show every time we use it,” “ER” supervising producer and writer Scott Gemmill said. “It’s amazing what music can bring to a scene.” There’s a new… Read more »
First album together in eight years finds band returning to its roots. For many years over the past two decades, New Order crafted cynical synth-pop that radiated with alternative dancefloor chic. But on Get Ready, the band’s first record together in eight years, New Order have done something they haven’t tried since their pre-Order days. They’ve rocked out. While the album still shimmers and shivers with electronic textures, it’s anchored by organic instrumentation and galvanic grooves. “60 Miles an Hour,” Get Ready’s second single, sounds like a beefier spinoff of the band’s hit “Blue Monday,” and “Rock the Shack” is… Read more »
