When I first heard Brand New, I was sitting shotgun in my girlfriend's Toyota Cressida. I was a freshman in college, back home for Thanksgiving. She was a year younger, still stuck in high school, and the distance was hard on us. She said I was sure to love this song, and keyed up "Soco Amaretto Lime," the acoustic finale to BN's debut Your Favorite Weapon. As it ends, singer Jessie Lacey repeated

The thing to do this year in music is to change it up. Why stay with what’s worked for you when you can go back in time and borrow something that worked for someone else? Call it the American Idiot syndrome, in honor of Green Day’s multi-platinum rock-opera 2004 release. They reinvented themselves by taking bits and pieces of older band’s sounds and updating them as their own. Then the Kille

The thing about Shine On that you have to understand right off the bat: It's not a bad record. I'm not saying you'll love it either, but there are no tracks that will have reaching for the fast forward as you moan, "this is absolutely horrible."

The other day, as I was listening to Robbers & Cowards, it occurred to me that I would have been a completely different music fan without the Internet. Sure, I was still a fanatic even when I just listened to the K-Rock, watched MTV and MuchMusic, and read Rolling Stone.

Way back, early in the summer of 2004, I found an advance of Hot Fuss lying around my intern desk at FHM Magazine. I popped it into my computer and instantly fell in love. That disk would be my crew's summer soundtrack as we drove all over Long Island, frequenting parties and bars, and proclaiming how we were "On Top" along with singer Brandon Flowers. Hot Fuss, even though it brandished style ove

Review: Decemberists - The Crane WifeWhile wandering through a park in my hometown this summer, I came across a confederate civil war re-enactment camp (oddly enough, since I live in Long Island, NY). Twenty or so full-grown men and women were dressed in linens, brandishing bayonets, cooking stew in the ground, and wholeheartedly refusing to admit we now live in the age of iPods and MTV. If they d
