The Cool Kids One thing Outside Lands seemed short of was some of the more rap and hip hop artists and electronic DJs selections. Unlike Coachella with its expansive electronic dance tent and Lollapalooza with an assortment of hip hop artists and dance stages, this festival was for the most part a lot of white folk and rock artists (even some forgotten ones- like Cake anyone?)- save a token rap...

The super-group behemoth that is Broken Social Scene are back and ready to record a new album after four years. The respective artists of the band (ranging from members of Metric to the Apostle Of Hustle to Do Make Say Think) have all put their main musical distractions to one side and regrouped to create the follow up to 2005's fantastical self-titled full length.

"This Book is Broken" by Stuart Berman (House of Anansi Press) documents the history of Broken Social Scene. Berman had a unique perspective, having been friends with the nucleus of the group from the get-go, living in the same building that connected the band's founders, Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning as it grew in acclaim. The result is better than a fly-on-the-wall vantage point of how Broke...

The cover is set for the soundtrack of The Time Traveler’s Wife, and [...]

I’ve never read The Time Traveler’s Wife, but I think that after seeing the trailer for the movie adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s novel, I don’t think I really need to. It doesn’t appear that there’s any interesting bit of storyline left for the movie itself to reveal. That’s a shame, because I know that at [...]

This could be the most interesting record I buy in 2009. Charles Spearin (of Broken Social Scene, Do Make Say Think, KC Accidental) will be releasing an album (Feb. '09, Arts and Crafts) called The Happiness Project. It will not sound like anything you have in your collection. Its a series of interviews with his [...]

They really are! There are plenty of bands who I've never had the opportunity to see live who I'd have never been able to hear live were it not for stations like KEXP and KCRW broadcasting wonderful high-quality in-studio sessions for all of us to hear for free. I realized that when the below Broken Social Scene mp3 came on shuffle today - it's without a doubt better than the studio versi...
