We had a great time when Giants At Large seized our airwaves, didn’t you? The Long Island, NY band took over to let us get to know ’em a little better, and brought with them plenty of good times.
Tom Delonge Released A New Video And I’m Done I’m not going to get over it. I will never let go. The music is supposedly supposed to be meant as a Blink-182 track, and the video is filled with anger directed a drum sets and a bass guitar! Real subtle, DeLonge. Seriously considering getting him a kiddie pool for all of his tears at this point. In all honesty, it’s just bad form to force your band’s hand and then come out with a music video that seems as if you are blaming them completely. I tried to watch the… Read more »
‘Future Hearts’ is an album for the fans, pure and simple—the ultimate declaration of appreciation for listeners new and old.
Punk rock, skateboards and… comedians? This week’s edition of the Vans Warped Tour lineup announcement adds a whole new element to the yearly tour—a comedy tent. Among the names joining the festival are Dave Ross, Sammy Obeid, and Eli Olsberg.
The music industry is crumbling. With torrenting, streaming, YouTube and a barrage of other services the value of the actual music for an artist has dwindled to a miniscule amount, but Tidal wants to change that. Tidal is the new music-streaming app (re-launched today) by Jay-Z and fellow musicians who want to put money back into the artists’ hands. The current supreme music streaming king, Spotify, gives artists anywhere from $0.006 to $0.0084 per stream to artists; meanwhile Tidal promises to be an “artists for the artist” device to give musicians a better cut of their music plays. Tidal has… Read more »
The Selfie Sticks Have Been Banned From More Music Festivities A couple of months ago I told you about a venue in the U.K. banning selfie sticks. Well, it just got better. Both Coachella and Lollapalooza have now also banned the death sticks that people use to take selfies with (side note: I totally wasn’t using one at the Grand Canyon last weekend or anything…) Anyway, this is a VERY good thing. Music festivals often involve an abundance of of alcohol, crazy people, and unmentionables with medical cards that validate their “back problems”. We don’t need to add metal poles… Read more »

Thursday, March 19th I flew into South by Southwest this afternoon. Tonight, I strode 6th Street. amid the scene here in Austin. I felt a tension between, and within, the musicians, attendees, and the city. The dichotomy is an inclination toward indie values, opposed by the gravitation of commercialism. I realize this as I happen on IFC’s Fairgrounds, which features a music stage, interactive attractions such as a Velcro wall, and food trucks and a beer stand. It’s like a festival within a festival and it is a microcosm of SXSW. It’s an insular fantasy realm manifested by marketers and… Read more »
It’s Monday morning. The thought of getting out of bed makes you want to punch a hole in the wall. There’s no bacon or eggs for breakfast, your ex won’t stop calling, and your overly cheerful co-worker won’t stop chatting your ear off about some “super fun-tastic!” projects. If any of this applies to you, you just might be having a Ron Swanson kind of day. Here are six killer tunes to get you through the day. 1.America, F*** Yeah!- Team America It’s easy to get grumpy over the thought of going to work, but hey, at least you live… Read more »
