Because no one’s posted it yet. And that’s wrong.

On April 19th, Kanine Records will release Not Nothing, the excellent, spooky debut by great new band X-Ray Eyeballs. I can’t say enough great things about this: warped an weird, pinched vocals over drop-down-drunk guitar lines, the album combines the raggedness of garage rock with goth’s low vocals and penchant for minor-keys. Get your first [...]

O’Death have a new record, Outside, out April 19, and they just released a video for its opening track, “Bugs.” Filmed in Maine and directed by the band, it’s colorful and involves floating heads, and creepy masks made of woodchips — all in line with the band’s dark, moody brand of folk rock. Much of [...]

You know how I’m always like “My Chemical Romance are a great band!” and you’re always like, “You’re smoking crack”? This fact was underscored to me on the subway this morning when, apropos of nothing, I flipped from this really excellent Northern Soul comp over to The Black Parade because, fuck it, some mornings you [...]

Mashups! Crazy! And, apparently, still with us! People who watch Glee tell me they do them on Glee. And now Matt & Kim — basically the Glee of indie rock — and Big Boi have a mashup of their very own. Called “CameraBuggin,” it combines Big Boi’s incredible “Shutterbug” with Matt & Kim’s “Cameras” for [...]

Greil Marcus interviews D.A. Pennebaker about filming Bob Dylan from New Video Digital on Vimeo. If you find yourself looking for a good reason to hate Bob Dylan and also have not seen D.A. Pennebaker’s legendary Don’t Look Back, well, my friend, let me introduce you to a little saying I like to call “two [...]

(picture snatched from here) By now, it’s possible you’re sick of hearing us go on and on about UK indie rock revivalists (yeah, we said it) Yuck. Well, if that’s the case, I don’t know what to tell you. Because today they released a new song, the B-Side to their “Get Away” single, and, of [...]

Theophilus London – Music – More Music Videos Admittedly, it took me a minute to come around on Theophilus London. I was on the fence about This Charming Mixtape, which I thought was clever, but maybe a bit too coy? There is a fine line. But when I saw him at the horrific clusterfuck that [...]

By Patrick Rapa Book tours can be kind of a strange trip. Just ask Florida-born New Yorker Karen Russell. She recently returned from a week of readings and signings, a few in the east, a few out west, in support of her critically lauded debut novel Swamplandia! “And people kept asking me if I had [...]

(one of these people is Edwyn Collins) [A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to interview one of my lifelong heroes, the incredible, unmatchable Edwyn Collins, for a Jukebox Jury. We'll be putting the feature up on eMusic in a few days, but I thought I'd post it here first.] On Feb. 20, 2005, [...]

Those Darlins are a quartet of Tennesseans who write rowdy, jangly, country-tinged songs about getting drunk and eating a whole chicken and staying up until “stupid late-o’clock,” with song titles like “Be Your Bro,” “Snaggle Tooth Mama” and “Fatty Needs a Fix.”

We’ve got a pretty decent haul of stuff today, so let’s get started!

As you may have heard, we had ourselves a little day party in Austin. And it was good! Nobody shotgunned Four Loko or asked when the Dave Matthews Band was coming on. Instead, everyone just enjoyed some great music. And in case you think we’re making this whole thing up, we’ve got video — and [...]

Radiohead The King of Limbs ATO/TBD Release Date: 29 March 11 By Jayson Greene In a SPIN cover story during the press run-up to Hail To The Thief, Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien mused to Chuck Klosterman about longevity in rock. “I’m interested in bands as beasts,” he said. “I’m interested in U2 and the Rolling [...]

In the Open: Walk the Moon – Anna Sun & Let’s Dance from In the Open on Vimeo. If you missed South by Southwest last week, well, there’s probably some good mixed in with that bad (unless you really enjoy being elbowed over and over in the solar plexus while trying to watch Anamanaguchi, in [...]

Short roundup, but some big titles today! Let’s not waste any time, because today, we have… The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Belong – FINALLY. FINALLY. FINALLY. FINALLY.

Ladies and Gents! Radiohead — kings of New Distribution Models and forward-thinking marketing approaches have done it again, officially moving us all past the rapidly-aging, Culture 1.0 “digital format” and pushing onward into the next decade, firing a thrilling new shot in the cultural revolution: paper. Leave it to Radiohead to take something we use [...]

By John Morthland On the surface, relative newcomer Eden Brent’s Ain’t Got No Troubles and veteran Paul Oscher’s Bet on the Blues couldn’t be more different: Oscher is the down-home blues purist, while Brent blends and weaves the form into music that is bluesy, but not necessarily blues. But both are essentially solo performers who [...]

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Belong [Slumberland] Release Date: 29 March 11 By Matthew Fritch The Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s 2009 debut album was so well-versed in the arcane classics of twee, shoegaze and C86 guitar jangle that it seemed less like a rock album than a studied, masterful thesis statement.
