Performing with them was new member Ed Rodriguez on guitar, who joined in February. The song selection was drawn from a wide range of their catalogue, as they performed tracks from Reveille ("Holy Nigh...

--- - |- Had we but world enough, and time, the Shaky Hands probably wouldn't be in such a hurry. As it is, we're all gonna be McCains before we know it, so for now, these Portland, Ore.-based indie rockers' "We Are Young" clambers along like Tokyo Police Club on red alert, with a few more Neil Young tablatures in their browser histories. Taken from Lunglight, the Shaky Hands' forthcoming, Kil...

--- - |- Photo by Joseph MohanOnce they bowl over the U.S. (or at least the sum total of its bespectacled comedian population), the Hold Steady will skip the pond for run of dates in the UK and Europe. Still fresh off both the release of the P4K recommended Stay Positive and their typically barnstorming set at the Pitchfork Music Festival, the band is on the road right now, hitting Los Angeles...

It might just be my callow youth talking, but the democratization of music manufacturing and distribution seems to have resulted in-- oh, good--more and more remixes that never had a good reason for existing in the first place.

It's like...so hard to find work now. The other thing is, Jeezy knows this, and he has addressed our concerns with the title of The Inspiration's follow-up, The Recession.The Recession comes out via CTE/Def J...

Murs is a man of simple tastes-- sex, booze, music, video games-- and he is forthcoming about them. Other than honesty, what do Americans want in a leader, except maybe political experience and some semblance of a plan? The L.A.

The always colorful crooner's got tour dates out the wahoo, stretching nearly into next year. Things just got a whole lot crazier with the addition of a new North American tour and way more dates on his run with fellow snazzy dresser Elton John. Lidell w...

--- - |- In May, Pitchfork news reported that a track by Mike Skinner called "The Escapist" had been made for a film and didn't make the cut, and would feature on a forthcoming album by the Streets (we now know the album is called Everything Is Borrowed). We also reported that the video for the track featured Skinner walking across France. Well, the Ted Mayhem-directed video is here, and we do...
