I just read an article on BBC about Interpol’s eventual 3rd album!The BBC reports that “Fans can expect “elegant orchestral” sounds on the next Interpol album”. Lead singer/guitarist Paul Banks has stated that bassist, Carlos has created “sophisticated orchestration” that sounds very different from anything that the band has done!” A month ago their drummer [...]
Through my own blogging, I have made it a goal of mine to read all kinds of music blogs. There are so many out there these days, its hard to single out the true bloggers from the fake ones who just do it for the hits, posting mp3s with no substance.One of the blogs that [...]
I was checking out Pigeons and Planes when I came across quite an interesting video. The video shows a homeless man (nicknamed Mustard), covering “Creep” by Radiohead. It was recorded on the Opie and Anthony show. Apparently they do a segment where they pick a homeless person off of the street and buy them clothes. [...]
John Frusciante has made it official that he is no longer a part of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. John cleared this up on his myspace, posting a note. He is basically just saying how he wants to make his own music, rather than continue with the RHCP. He released a solo album earlier this [...]
I just woke up from a nap….It’s 1:24 AM. Sigh. I fell asleep watching Coraline with my brother and sister, and next thing I know, it’s 1 AM! All those all nighters have really destroyed my sleep schedule!I woke up to the glorious news that during my nap, Ezra and VW posted “White Sky” on [...]
My fellow Arctic Monkey friend Blake made it his mission to follow the Arctic’s east coast tour. He did so catching both NYC shows as well as their Boston show! He was lucky enough to afford such a trip, as well as seeing the live debut of the excellent b-side “Catapult”!He recorded it for us! [...]
Blogging is a lot harder than it seems. Ok – not hard, but it is a lot more time consuming than you think. Sometimes the new stuff just piles up and you forget to post things! I am trying to make up all those late posts with my free time during this winter break. Here [...]
I’ve been getting so much new indie rock, that I was pretty much ignoring the hype/build up of Lil’ Wayne’s “rock album”; Rebirth. It just didn’t seem like the greatest idea to me. My friends It’s A Rap and Pigeons and Planes are rap blogs, so I have been checking out the status of Rebirth [...]

My new blogger friends Streets Of Your Town showed me an old Hives song from last year (which I thought was from this year at first!) that is fairly enjoyable. The song, “A Christmas Duel” is a collaboration with Cyndi Lauper that the Hives gave away for free on their site from last year!This is [...]
The year is winding down as December begins to fade away along with the rest of 2009. I am going to use a lot of my free time during winter break to catch up on albums and figure out what my best of albums of 2009 are!I’ve been digging my teeth into Real Estate’s s/t [...]
Goodbye Binghamton Fall Semester 2009! It is time to bring on winter break, and 2010!I am pretty exhausted, as I pulled an all niter to study for my finals and finish up a writing portfolio. Time to catch up on the zz’s via a nap!Good luck with the rest of the semester to all you [...]
Two anonysmus sources were cool enough to link me to two leaked Midlake songs! The songs are both new from their upcoming 2010 album The Courage Of Others.The songs are “Acts Of Man” & “Rulers Ruling All Things”. They are both pretty songs that we have come to expect from Midlake. Beautiful vocals, clean instrumentation, [...]
Last night, I may have seen the greatest concert of my entire life. I’ve seen the likes of Radiohead, (who are right next to this show, by mere inches!) Coldplay, Arcade Fire, but seeing the Arctic Monkeys at Terminal 5 last night, just may be my “the best”!There was so much energy in their performance, [...]
I am driving down from my college to go see Arctic Monkeys at Terminal 5 tonight! I’m very pumped as you can imagine. Aside from All Points West, I have not seen the band in proper form since Sept 2007 when they rocked Central Park. So look out for some photos and words on the [...]
More Arctic Monkeys video madness! What can I say, I love the band! I also love youtube. The Arctic’s played an acoustic radio set for the NY station RXP.Someone was smart enough to record Alex playing a bit of a new song called “Joining The Dots”! The person records it outside of the studio, so [...]
I am going to see Arctic Monkeys tomorrow at Terminal 5 in NYC! I cannot wait. They also played last night (Thurs 12/10) and in the middle of “Fluorescent Adolescent”, Matt Helders did a quick cover of “Last Christmas”!I gotta say, Matt has really developed his voice! He can really sing now!Anyway, the video is [...]
My blogger friend Willis has done something quite incredible. Something plenty of bloggers are going to be pretty envious of. He has started an online magazine for his blog Vinyl And Vodka.The magezine is wildy impressive and profession. The dude spent 2 months making it, so it definitely deserves your attention! It also has a [...]
I have a long list of bands that I should probably invest more time into. There is just an abundance of good music out these days, it is so hard to concentrate on just one artist! I feel like I have a pretty dense musical knowledge for a 19 year old, yet, I still have [...]

He is hailed as one of the more original musicians of modern rock. He is also known as the guy who does string arrangements for [...]
