While it does not officially debut until January 18th, you can watch it for free on TV if you get Showtime On-Demand, or streaming through the web here.United States of Tara is written by Diablo Cody, the same woman who wrote [...]
One of the best records I’ve heard in ‘09 thus far has to be East Hundred’s debut full-length Passenger.Hailing from Philadelphia, East Hundred was founded by brothers Brooke (guitar) and Will (drums) Blair. In 2004, they invited Brooke’s then-girlfriend, the Beril Guceri to add vocals to some of their tracks, which then led to the [...]

The Cure performed "The Perfect Boy" on Leno. Thanskk to the powers of Hulu, you don't have to actually watch Jay Leno to appreciate the wonderful song.

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of the year again; time to unveil my top albums!. This was a fantastic year for music, hence my expanding this list from 20 to 25. Even with that expansion, there were still some very fine albums that did not make the cut. Such honorable mentions as Headlights [...]
The Raveonettes recently released a holiday EP titled We Wish You a Rave Christmas, which is the fourth and final installment of their recent EP series. You can download the track "Come On Santa" here. (Sounds dirty, huh?) If you want more holiday goodness from The Raveonettes, the EP is available thru all major digital retailers. Tracklisting: 1. [...]
The video for the hit Smashing Pumpkins Guitar Hero: World Tour exclusive song "G.L.O.W." made its debut today. Pretty ironic that a song that was supposed to debut on Guitar Hero: World Tour has been on sale at iTunes for a few weeks now and has an official video before it's even been released in [...]
Today must be the day of free music. First Matt Pond PA and now Jay Bennett (ex-member of Wilco). Bennett's record, Whatever Happened I Apologize, can be downloaded here. It features a cover of Daniel Johnston's "Wicked World" and is available on Rock Proper Records.
Matt Pond PA has been kind enough to give away a totally free EP, cleverly titled The Freeep (get it…free ep…FREEP?!) Head on over here to download yourselves a copy of this wonderful pre-Thanksgiving gift.
Yesterday I blogged about Coldplay's new EP Prospekt's March. Well, it turns out that it is today's AmazonMP3 deal of the day, so you can download all eight songs for a mere 99¢. The deal is only good today so hurry on over here to buy a copy.
Also dropping today is Coldplay's new eight-song EP titled Prospekt's March. Prospekt's March is a collection of tracks that didn't make it onto Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends during its initial release. (Viva la Vida… has since been re-released to contain these new tracks on a "deluxe version.") This EP is fantastic. [...]
The Killers' highly anticipated album Day & Age is officially released today and you can get the entire album for $3.99 in all the DRM-Free goodness that is AmazonMP3.com. The iTunes version, while not $3.99, is being billed as the "Deluxe Version" and feature two bonus tracks and the video for "Human." For those of you [...]
Third Eye Blind are back with a new release called Red Star EP. The first single, "Non-Dairy Creamer," is graced with probably the worst song title of the year. On first listen, I will say the lyrics for "Non Dairy Creamer" are terrible, but then again what can you expect when the song that put them [...]
Glasvegas have released the video for "Please Come Back Home" which is on their forthcoming Christmas EP (which is unfortuantly UK only right now, but I'm hearing it may be released in the US somehow as well.)
Here's a fantastic acoustic set that Ryan Adams & The Cardinals performed live on 3 Voor 12. It clocks in at almost half an hour and contains some really beautiful renditions of some great Cardinology songs, including "Fix It," "Go Easy" & "Cobwebs."
And here are some videos from the second night of The Smashing Pumpkins at the United Palace. "Cupid de Lock" (Clip) "Cherub Rock" (Clip) "Landslide" (Full Song) "99 Floors" (Full Song) "1979″ (Clip)
