It felt like having sex with Thom Yorke. I'm gunna...

When you find yourself acknowledging that Susan Boyle served up a solid cover of the Rolling Stones' classic 'Wild Horses' you know something is off. Yes, Boyle, the old woman in the shoe from Britain's Got Talent that, as Columbia records puts it ever so tersely, "was plucked from obscurity" after her show stopping performance of 'I Dreamed a Dream'. After you recover from your state of disarr...

In 2006, the Arctic Monkeys made their debut with the verbosely titled and monstrously popular Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. The effortless post-punk album claimed fans instantly and remains the fastest-selling band debut. The boys had a neatly executed follow up in their second studio album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, which, despite some weighty elements added to the mix, rem

Guest submission by Tim MyersWe live in an age in which corporations have the power to make and break the careers of whatever clean cut celebrity automaton that they see fit. These icons are packaged, marketed and, with the aid of relentless air time on local top 40 stations, sold to a public clamoring to latch on to the next big thing. In response to current trends, pop stars are branded wit...

We're all guilty of overdressing to events just to be seen. Concerts are no exception. Everyone has that friend that takes forever, and likewise, that friend who goes to every concert in the same ratty Soundgarden shirt from 1994. In our years of performing and attending shows, we've seen our fair share of concert fashion, and the major thing we've noticed is the differences between the ways me...

Sending the internet ablaze with their 'no more albums' rumor, it comes as no surprise that Radiohead's first release since In Rainbows is an EP. Wall of Ice, which features yesterday's self-released track, "These Are My Twisted Words," delivers a digitally melancholy yet thunderously natural performance.The title track, "Wall of Ice," is predictable -- for Radiohead. The track's jarring 9/8 ti...

5. Ice Cream Paint Job (Dorrough) – Well now all of my grandkids will know that Grandma is still hip! I can “get down” with this hip-hop music! Although, this “Mr. D- O- double R” is silly if you ask me! Why would anyone give their car an ice cream paint job? I won’t even let my grandson Johnny in the car with an ice cream cone – that’s a sticky mess waiting to happen.4. I’m Your

No. We're not fucking with you.It’d be funny if we were, but we're not. “The Poet Laureate of Rock and Roll” has decided to blend his unique style of music with beloved holiday jingles much in the same way that you would blend a 5th of Whiskey and a warm glass of milk. Potential featured tracks include:Rudolf the Red Nosed Tambourine Man / Subterranean Homesick Silver Bells / Santa Claus is

The announcement of Activision's Guitar Hero 5 unveiled the newest feature in the series: indie music. This would seem like the logical progression in the series: Guitar Hero's 1-4 introduced people to "crazy rock muzak" and now, Guitar Hero 5 will throw some indie crap on there to expand into the ever-growing hipster market. Besides the obvious question (How the hell am I supposed to raise dev...

Apple is always finding new and innovative ways to get us to buy shit again. iTunes was made to make us feel comfortable downloading music, as though we were shopping at an organic food store and buying fair trade coffee. The announcement of the new Apple tablet (basically a 10inch screened mutant iPhone) coincides with Apple's plans to bring back the allegedly interactive nature of album art.A...

The 20th century ruled, so that’s why it’s such a bummer to have this tribute to the raddest of all centuries be an obituary. Because that’s what this is, essentially—the death of our collective childhood and the final nail in the coffin for music on TV. MTV owner Viacom has chosen not to renew the lease on the studio space that became famous for hosting Total Request Live. Yeah, TRL has b
